After watching all the leisure van tours i couldnt make up my mind....but now I'm convinced this is the one I would find most joy in everyday. I love watching your videos!!
I'm going to be 55 years old this year ,...... And I want to thank you guys for this video ...... Love it long Time ...... great information
Kelly Phillips I’m 35 years old I ❤️ haha I’m old but not that old but I ❤️ old ppl stuff even music 🎵 from 1950s 😊 5-15-19
I am so obsessed with unity videos, I have seen them all on you tube. We ordered our Unity FX 2021 in July of 2020 and should take ownership at end of this year maybe a little sooner. thank you for Mike and Jennifer and Bo and Dean North in Canada, for helping us make our decision
What an absolutely lovely couple you are! Thank you for the tour
Love, love, love this RV. Reminds me of Felix the Cat's bag. The interior gives you the comfort of a much larger rig, but with the ease of a smaller vehicle.
You both do an amazing job. I’ve watched videos made by people half your age, and they’re not nearly as entertaining, informative, and well-edited. Great job!
Leisure Travel did one heck of a job designing the Unity. It's really spectacular.
.....dress bed with darker grey comforter......a nice contrast to pillow cases.......drape folded lighter grey comforter across foot of bed to compliment pillow cases and create a 'finished' look to your decor.
Darker because I Like the quilted pattern and the darker has a little shine. You two are so cute!
So versatile! I like the attention to detail that has gone into the planning of this van. My vote is for the darker grey blanket.
How tall are you? I'm 6-2 could I do everything that you done with the Murphy bed?
Light gray, definitely. It maintains the light and airy feel of the RV.
Old age has never looked so beautiful! Congratulations!
Ricardo Cortez
LOL!
Love our new to us 2018 FX. It’s loaded and so nice. Not cheap however.:(
Dark grey blanket. Although the light colors are nice and give a feeling of openness and space one needs a little contrast so as not to get to washed out. So the dark one, definitely. And I also love the RV! All the conveniences and space of a larger one but clever in design so the same spaces can be used for many different things. Can't wait to get one for myself.
We love this motorhome also. Just the right size and endless features. The rear lounge is a must. I vote for the dark spread, gives nice contrast.
LOVE IT ! Dark gray for bed spread.
Theresa M i agree the darker grey will be more forgiving when traveling, especially with a dog. where does he sleep?
What a wonderful rig and tour. You both did such a great job of presenting a lot of info. The. Vehicle is really amazing and you can tell the company actually listened to RV full timers when planning. Thanks so much. Cheryl
Congratulations on the new RV. After seeing what another person went through getting service and parts fron LTV it was a nightmare. I hope that this won't be your experience. You do a truly professional job at your videos. Really appreciate all of your hard work. I love this model from LTV. I'm also looking at Tiffin. Still have a few years to decide. Happy trails and safe travels.
I like the lighter grey. More warm. Beautiful unit and lots of useful features they built into the unit.
Actually I changed my mind after staring at the two blankets for a couple minutes. Darker is better. Nicer pattern and looks almost velvety.
Thank you so much. I know it takes a lot of effort producing these videos. This is an excellent demonstration of your RV.
We have just ordered our Unity Corner bed and your videos are helping us be more patient and build our excitement. Excellent content. Thank you for your personal slant on RV living. On the blanket front I love the light grey, however, they are both lovely.
Wow - what a very well thought out and beautiful rig! I’ve seen LOTS of RVs but this is really a stand out in a good way. Thanks for the tour Jennifer and Mike!
I have to call this a " Convenience Mobil " with so many ways to use this . I would be using it as daily driver . Go to track in the morning for some running, have a shower and drive right to work. plus it ready to go for any weekend or long vacation.
best of luck you both have a great channel.
oh dark grey with maybe coral print pillows? Love your RV.....its very cozy and well layed out.
What a wonderful couple you are! I'd love to get on the road like that when we retire.
Such a pleasure to watch you two share this. I know why I finally subscribed lol I watched you for a while now. Thank you for your channel
That fridge is BRILLIANT!
Thanks for this tour! Been going back and forth between LTV Unity IB and Pleasureway Plateau XLMB. Every little bit helps, especially when couples like you share your experience with a particular model. Thank you again.
Waiting anxiously for your thoughts on the Unity now that you've traveled with it more. This is the second time I've watched your tour video. I was not excited about the murphy bed at first, but the FX layout is growing on me. I worry about sleeping in a bed that requires a slide on those nights you just want to sleep and hop back into the driver's seat early. Because my husband and I could use the front sofa and back lounge to sleep on, that may not be a deal breaker after all. Anyway I'm just researching for our future. We won't be upgrading to an RV for several years I imagine. We just bought our travel trailer about 3 years ago and are very happy with it. I do not like to drive the truck and trailer however, and we think we will be happier having a shorter rig for more extensive travels. The FX has the galley on the passenger side which I prefer. We live in Michigan and like to travel to state parks and more rustic camping situations. Thank you for your great information and video. You are winning over my husband too, he said he was listening to your podcast yesterday while working on our farm shop!
The dark grey looks nice with the leaf pattern.
Dark, without a doubt. Love the pattern on the dark one!
It's taken 15 years for me to see anything that makes me feel tempted to give up my Chinook. Thanks for the tour. Oh, dark grey BTW.
I like the gray one. The refrigerator is the best.
Dark grey for sure
Your Leisure Travel Van is so gorgeous and I like the lighter gray bedspread better.
What a beautiful, well thought out coach!!! Love it! I like both blankets, but I would use the dark one for a little contrast. Here's to many good times and adventures in your new place. Be safe, Be blessed. 😉☺❤🇺🇸💙
I really like this Van setup. The refrigerator door opening both directions is a neat feature. Just a couple items, for myself getting around that bed when it is down would be too much of a challenge, with having bad knee, and also I am much bigger in size. Also, the pull up strap on the bed is such an old design, short of adding a full power switch, I would have thought by now someone else would have come up with a better lever mechanism so you don't have to to squat down like that and pull the strap to put it away. When I had to do this as a kid, I remember sometimes it could be a strenuous effort putting it up. And for the sofa cushions, I probably would just add heavy duty velcro tape on each side to secure it, instead of using the snaps.
This is my first time watching y’all and I really enjoyed it. The both of you seem to have likable personalities filled with humor.
Light for the summer
Nice rig! I've been window shopping the Leisure Unity line for a few years now, and my favorite layout is still the Island Bed. I like the privacy of the dedicated bedroom, the storage, the lack of slides, the ability to use the kitchen when someone else is sleeping, and the fact that you don't need to rearrange the furniture every night when you want to go to bed.
And the blanket? Dark gray is my preference.
Wow, you echoed my reasoning for loving the island bed, or the twin beds with insertable cushions that make an actual king bed, as both have great storage!!
That is an Outstanding Video! You both did absolutely wonderful!!!!
Beautiful home on wheels. I think dark grey blanket for winter months and light grey blanket for summer months.
The instant hot water would be especially important when you're boon-docking and dependent and dependent on stored water . That way water isn't wasted waiting for the water to heat up.
Hello nice people, the dark grey blanket looks very nice. Thank you for showing your new home on wheels, is beautiful, I was not expecting to see the fridge door opening both sides, soo convenient, Hugs from Lake Worth Fl.
You made a great choice with this upgraded class B. Thanks for the wonderful tour.
I like the dark grey one with it's pattern. I think it adds a bit more interest and contrasting shade.
I like the darker one number one.
Your rv is the nicer I have seen. So much room in a perfect size
Grey looks so comfortable
Wow that bed is so awesome and ingenious
Thank you so much. I am still hoping to go with the Wonder RTB. It's just going to be me.
Congrats on your beautiful new RV! I like the darker grey blanket.
Loved your new van and the detailed tour!! I like the dark grey blanket best. Wishing you both more adventures and happy trails and God’s protection and provision along the way! Take care and God bless you both and your little dog too!! 🥰☺️
This model is also my dream RV . Love it. It is so practical!!
Great video! The Unity is a beautiful van! I do love the light colors of the interior. My vote would be for the light blanket.
Thank you for sharing what you like about the Unity!
Until next time...
Love the dark gray for contrast against light wood ❤️❤️ love your channel . We are wanting to do some RV travels on the next year!
I prefer dark grey. Good combination of colors around the bed
This vehicle is perfect for you two. I look forward to see your 'personalization' video. I vote for the darker blanket for contrast. Thank you for sharing your new home with us.
What a great walk thru video, I like the Darker grey as well.
God Bless
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Light blanket on the bed, dark blanket across the bottom of the bed! Snazzy.
Very nice tour, as always! I can't believe all the ways you can reconfigure that Murphy Bed area. I don't know if I could remember them all. It seems you have a lot to switcharoo from the dining room with extra guests to the full bed. But it's great to have all that flexibility. I also really like the rear lounge area where Mike hangs out. The whole layout looks so well planned. (But I am leery of a slide out with long-term maintenance issues.)
flyshacker I wouldn’t worry about that slide out for a minute.
You can see that the leisure travel vans are very well constructed. We have slide outs in our Entegra motorhome and have never had a single issue.
@@RobinGee2006 how many years have you owned your Entegra motorhome?
FlyShacker, Slide Mechanisms are powered by 12 volt drill motors. I have no idea who/whom supplies these. Here is my opinion. Slides are neat till they decide to not function. Such as forgetting your unit is not on level ground then experiencing issues with half measures. Meaning grinding like sounds, popping like sounds emanating from the slide mechanisms as misalignment can take place especially when its late, you’ve been on the road and you just want to get some shuteye at a Flying J for 6 hours or so. BAM! Wake-up, ready to roll, slide decides to not work. You hear clicking sounds, but nothings happening.
Its about this time you go into “Oh Crap Mode” and dig out your owners manual. It was for me a mad moment when I could NOT locate a manual emergency crank port socket to insert a hand crank to manually moving the slide into the unit so as to get back on the road again. There are specific procedures that must be followed to tracking down possible failure to deploy/redeploy slide-outs. When folks say they’ve never had an issue. I feel glad for them. Slides are purely a choice.
Here is what I learned as a previous slide guy...
No Emergency Crank: Means the user must follow an electrical jump method that is scary as hell to do. I’m color blind, and I did not have an electrical piece of negative positive auto wire with me... Moving on.
Slide seals LEAK high wind/s COLD air like mad. Heater comes on all the time trying to compensate its so terrible.
Slide seals mandate tinder loving care. Debris can and does accumulate on top of extended room. The manual states the RV owners must always check for leaves, dirt, or sand before any operation. This means climbing a ladder. Which I won’t do. Or don’t want to do.
The expensive optional roll-out cover to help keep debris from accumulating flop and flap like crazy during high winds making sleep darn near meaningless.
Deployment of slides announces loudly your intention of camping when signage everywhere these days indicated limited time to no overnight so on so fourth. Guarantees a 0300hrs knock and announce from the local Yokel one man patrol on grave yard shift. Or worse, a security company charged with parking lot business safety and rules compliance.
In the event a slide fails, and you cannot solve it, don’t rely on a tow truck tech being able to solve the issue either. As I learned via on the Job training each vehicle has its own quirks to being towed or hauled. It is a fricking agonizing experience as few to anyone at the end of a 1-800-HELPME five year bumper to bumper no cares no worries RV sells people push upon us dumb pilgrims thinking, or better yet, believeing we are in good hands.
Not the case. Depending on what, where, even how far off the grid you be stranded. RV’s can become a very real nerve racking experience. Just know and understand thoroughly what needs to be performed step by step and don’t standby as I did and allow the sells guy brush you through as he says, “I know I’m going pretty quickly through this Gary, but I think you already know more than I do kind of statement. Negative!
Have the fortitude to state show ME! Then: now help guide me through these emergency procedures until I fully understand. And make sure the unit is level!
Guess thats it, my eyelids are starting to mimic grannies old roll up shades... their starting to lower to the down position.
Cheers!
Very nice setup in your new van. Thanks for showing us your new home away from home! My vote is for the darker gray cover...like the contrast. However, both look nice. 😃
The front multipurpose space is fantastic and very clever but I prefer stationary bed, dinette as I hate everyday to fold unfold bed etc. If it works for you is fantastic as a choise.
I like it when it rains and this van is dream to me awesome
Such a lovely couple. Thank you for sharing. 😊
This one video is very good and professional. Congratulation! Hello from Cabo Frio city, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.
LTV's has just really figured out the space concerns in all of their products. Like Dean says "very smart!" Thanks for your videos and hope to see you out "yonder" one day. I like both colors, but I guess I'd choose the dark grey first.
Light grey, goes well with the light wood and muted tones
Great video. If the rear lounge would convert into a 2 person bed that would be totally awesome.
Light grey! Wonderful video...gonna buy one of those! Thanks!!!
Congratulations! on your new rig. It’s great- really one of the best I’ve seen. So many great features! Enjoy!!
Your Unity is beyond wonderful! I like the dark grey better! Happy Trails. 😁
You guys have encouraged us to get one for our family
Light grey blanket for sure.
Really nice! I like the darker blanket and it will show less dirt.
Nice unit, you were very thorough in your video
dark grey blanket looks best
Dark grey blanket. 😃 That has been my favorite class B. I want one so bad. Love the privacy of the two areas. Trying to talk my hubby into downsizing.
Dark grey! Love the color and texture of that one.
WOW impressive. Light gray is more inviting.
Light grey blanket. Love the new Van!!!
Thank you for the informative video. Just starting the research process for our first RV. I really like the size and tech with the Leisure Vans. I enjoy seeing how people are using the different interior configurations too. Tough decision to have a full time bed or not.
Wow, how versatile.
Love your new rv. I vote for the dark gray.....very rich looking.
The light sheets and the dark blanket.
Hello Mike and Jen, Congratulations on your new coach it’s beautiful! We are having the 2020 Tiffin Wayfarer 24TW built at this time! Jen, I would choose the DARKER GREY! It sure brings some rich depth to the room. Thanks for sharing and asking for our opinion in your decorating ideas, that was fun!
I like the pattern on the darker gray.
Thanks for the tour, great job. Inspiring design.
Congratulation! I always love the FX's flexibility. I like the dark grey blanket.
ok you 2 are too cute , happy trails . love your rig
I like the darker blanket.
Thanks for a great video. I'm looking forward to a video on what you would like to see improved in this motorhome.
Great video! Great RV and you're a lovely couple! I don't think they could have made things any easier in a truck that size, amazing!
I love your new RV. I think the dark grey coverlet is best!
Love the rv. Go with the dark grey
Function, Function, Luxurious Function.
Great practical demonstration of the features, no sales pitch, just reality, always think about rainy days, having basically two rooms in a b+, real luxury, like the window cut outs on the bed wall, may be a bit above our budget, and of course, dark grey, nicer pattern, enjoy the coach, it's a beauty, I'll check other vids, how much solar power ?
Great looking RV, wish you had shown storage space though and my vote would be light grey sheets with DARK grey blanket. Happy RVing
Dark gray. Very Nice RV.
What a great video review - This is exactly the way I would love to go !! These smaller versatile units with such engineering marvels are the way of the future. Having to tow a travel trailer/5th wheel or tow a transportation vehicle is a tedious and anxious option (and very expensive) task !!!!
