The popularity of van conversion RVs increases every year—as do the number of models and the new options those models offer. Still, the question remains—why spend so much money on an RV that’s substantially smaller than others on the market; many of which also cost less money. That’s a question that I mull over every time I test a Class B or C. So, here are my thoughts. First, a smaller motorized unit is designed to be driven—a lot. The folks that buy one of these are more interested in covering ground—rather than just being parked on it. The internal size of the unit is less of a concern to these buyers, because the ease of this RVs mobility is more important to them. So, the conclusion has to be that buying a Class B or C—(like the Leisure Travel Vans Unity we are reviewing) is a lifestyle choice not an economic one. For 2025 Leisure Travel Vans (LTV) is offering a 60th anniversary model. Well, it’s a color scheme, some hardware and unique materials, and stitching—such as 60th anniversary headrests, but it does look good. It’s available on the Unity and that’s the unit I’m concentrating on here. With this much history behind them, LTV understands that the buyers of these highly mobile adventure Class C’s are looking for personalization in their RV as much as standard features. That’s why they offer six floorplans. From among these, they expect to easily suit your traveling lifestyle. These include twin beds, a corner bed, a rear lounge, an innovative Murphy bed, or two flexible living spaces. Each floorplan is built to create innovative use of space and storage in this compact luxury Class C RV. They also make a point of saying that much of what you’ll see in these floorplan choices is a result of customer feedback and constant innovation. However, further to the idea of personalization, the Unity can be further customized. From high-end Ultrafabrics upholstery to modern cabinetry finishes, the Unity can be finished in a wide variety of cabinetry and décor options. You can customize the Unity RV to suit your style.
• Hill Start Assist • HOLD Function • Load-Adaptive Electronic Stability Program (ESP) • Traffic Sign Assist Additional cabin features include heated swivel seats, a digital rearview mirror, and the MBUX infotainment system featuring a 10.25” touchscreen with navigation. This dual rear wheel chassis is rated at 11,030 lb GVWR and rides on a 170” wheelbase. It’s powered by a 2.0-L turbocharged I-4 diesel engine—which makes 208 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent through a 9G-tronic automatic transmission.
