VAN TOUR | Small Luxurious Dream RV | Leisure Travel Van | 2024 Unity Twin Bed | Season 1 | Ep. 3

Welcome to our channel. I'm Joy. I'm Ron. And we are the Skooled Crafts. And this is our new leisure travel van. We ordered this at Van City Las Vegas last year in January then picked it up at Van City St. Louis because it's closer to our home. It usually takes two to three years to get a brand new leisure travel van but we're glad we only had to wait a year. Before this we had a Class A motorhome for 13 years and we traveled all over the U.S. with my family. 11 of us, my parents, my siblings and the kids. We really loved and enjoyed it. We made lots of memories. So we decided to downsize because we are empty nesters now. It's just too big of a rig for both of us. Also I want to be able to drive it comfortably and I just love the thought of the ease of maneuvering it everywhere. So for two years we researched all kinds of smaller RVs and travel vans and this the LTV caught our eyes. We're just so impressed with its outdoor and indoor features and also its build quality. It just checks all of our boxes with activities we're doing now and with our future travel plans. So let's go inside. We are excited to show you the inside of our new LTV. Welcome to our home away from home. Let's start in the cab area. So this Unity models are built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 cutaway chassis with twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine and with nine speed automatic transmissions. I really like this big touchscreen multimedia panel with CarPlay capability. We use Spotify to listen to our music or podcast or to our audiobooks. We really enjoy this. So this unit has a lot of safety features and great comfort features. Okay so some of the safety features that 2024 Unity has is it's got the adaptive cruise control which is nice and effective. It can either be set relatively close, medium or far away depending on your comfort zone and it matches speeds with the vehicles around you. It also has lane assist. So it has two different lanes assist. The first is a slight vibration in the steering wheel and it pulls you back to the center. If you cross the lane quite a bit then it actually shows the whole display shows a vehicle in the wrong lane and wants to ease you back into your lane. It also has crosswind assist new this year and that is really nice if you get a large gust of a crosswind hits you it actually applies to brakes and eases you back towards the middle of your lane automatically. It also has this front end collision alert where it will actually apply the brakes and stop you before you can hit something. One of the safety features that surprised me was I was driving about two and a half hours or so and suddenly the dash lights up with a steaming cup of coffee picture to let me know that hey maybe you want to take a break since you've been driving for so long. It also has a couple of rear view cameras now. As you can see here is showing us the rear view that is on all the time within the rear view mirror. So it's got a camera up high on the LTV that points down lets you see what's going on behind you and then of course it has this backup camera and lets you see what's behind you as you're backing up. A couple of the upgrades that we added was I put TPMS on the tires so I could track that and we did the timbering suspension upgrade which was really great and stopping a lot of the sway that you got not only from crosswinds but also going into and out of uneven parking lots. And then the last upgrade feature that we've added is we put in a dash cam just to be a little safer on the road so if something happens we have recordings of it. We also have lots of charging ports up front in the cab area. Charging pad here and a 12-volt plug down here. We also have powered heated seats on both the front seats here and also the side view mirrors. So guess what one of my favorite things in this cab area this coach does not only have one or two cupholders but look at this 10 cupholders holy cow. This unit comes with a privacy screen on all cab windows for nighttime or daytime use if you wanted more privacy. So these two cupping chairs can be swiveled around to be part of the motorhome and you can extend the seats here for those tall or long-legged people. So let's move in in the living area. Here's a lagoon table that can be swiveled around for easy in and out. You can also move it on the back as work table if you want to sit on the bed. Two seats here has its own individual seat belts. Also it can be converted into a twin bed. We got this optional air mattress that we can convert into a double bed if we need extra room for our family or friends if they want to tag along and sleep in our LTV. I love this ottoman that I got from Marshalls that we use for extra seating footstool and shoe storage. Here is the main multiplex panel. It controls the AC heat lights turn on generator also to monitor fresh gray black and for painting. There's several secondary control panels throughout the coach and also you can upload the app into your smartphone so you can control everything through your smartphone if you want to. The master light panel part of it so you can have all the lights on or all the lights off. Here's where you can see your generator and when you want to run for the auto start. Here's your furnace and air conditioning setup for where you want to set the temperatures and of course then you have your settings if you need to go in and do anything with your settings. So we have lots of overhead storage here. They're all curved doors soft touch. I love this. Here is the entertainment center where you can connect the TV and the satellite system. A couple of cubbies here up front. Big storage here where we store our privacy screen for our cab windows and in here where our control panel for our solar system. Here's the indoor service center that you can control your four-point leveler hot water and the inverter. Moving into our kitchen area we have a two burner stove with built-in splash guard. This you can flip up if you want an extra room when prepping your meals. We have a built-in trash can over there and a nice big stainless sink here. We really appreciate that they already put this paper towel holder and also for the dish soap and I added lotion and hand sanitizer next to it. And up there is our ventilation fan. Also you can put spices there or whatever you want. Nice big awning picture window here that you can open if you want to get a fresh air. Also it has a daytime shade and a nighttime privacy shade and it has these two clips on both sides to keep it from flopping back and forth. Here's one of the smart TVs here inside the LTV. We have another one in the bedroom. This you can connect by a Bluetooth on your phone so you can watch your Netflix, Apple TV or Amazon Prime videos and movies. Then a soundbar up on top of it. So down here more storage. Also curved doors. That's where we place our pots and pans. Other side here and also right here I put a plastic bag grocery holder. Here are the drawers for the utensils and other kitchen stuffs. All soft close. So cool. So here's another one of the secondary control panels that you can also control your lights inside. Then we have our nice lighting pull-out pantry here for our snacks. Also soft close and it's nice that you can lock it to keep it from sliding out when the LTV is moving. Here's our fridge. This is a brand new model for all the 2024 Leisure Travel Vans. It's more efficient. That's the main fridge there and down the bottom we have a sliding out freezer. And up here we have a microwave convection oven. And another storage up there too. Small one. Another one of the secondary panel here that you can turn on and off your lights when you enter or leave the coach. One of the things I like is that big skylight up there that you can open if you want a fresh air. It has a sunshade and a bug screen and you can open it half and half if you want. There you go. I like that. Very nice. There's also a privacy screen for nighttime on the front door. And moving into our bedroom we have a twin bed that you can convert into a king bed if you want to. To convert to king bed just flip this down then place the two cushions provided on top. There's enough room here even for four people. Well for us big enough for two of us with our three dogs. So as you can see there's a lot of storage. Overhead storage here too. There's one there. Another one. Nice big storage. And more here. More here on this side. So we got plenty of storage here. And also we got these two hanging closets on each side. We got couple drawers down here in the middle and more storage under the bed. This one you can access in here and also outside the coach. Then here's the smaller storage under the other twin bed. And here down the floor another storage where we keep our extra waters and sodas. And here a couple pull-out drawers where we keep our extra shoes. And this side where I store my vacuum cleaner. I really love this LED lights here that's all throughout the coach and they're all dimmables. I'm so glad that they changed into this kind one to two years ago. Also there are two awning style picture windows here on each side that also has a daytime and nighttime shade. And here's the second smart TV in our bedroom. One of the unique features that separates the LTV from other travel vans is their separate shower and toilet. No wet bath for us. Yay! So here's the shower area. It's a good size and nice skylight up there. Privacy shower door here with the built-in squeegee. And then you can dry here your wet clothes or wet towels. I really love that they put this full-body mirror. And this door open all the way and this kind of as a separation between two living spaces. Here's the bathroom area. We have a macerator toilet that grinds the solids before it hits the tank. Here's the control panel with button to flush it down. And also there's another secondary panel here to turn on and off the lights, the fan, and the power pump that's outside. So it's really nice that you don't have to go outside to do it especially in a rainy day. Medicine cabinet up here and another storage under the sink. Cubbies here in this corner and our second ventilation fan up there. We just love how the Leisure Travel Van designed their floor plans with several options that you can pick and choose the kind of floor plan that will suit your travel lifestyle. So let's go outside and we'll show you the outdoor features. So we got the awning which is a carefree awning. It is an auto extend with the push of a button as well as wind retracts. So if it's windy it will automatically retract. It has built-in LED lights and as you can see it's a very good sized awning. We're parked in one spot and it reaches all the way across to another one almost. It gives you plenty of room underneath here to set up your tables, chairs, cookout, or just hang out with your friends. We have our outlet right here so we can power our electronic devices. It's a great setup for us we feel. We also got the Alcoa wheels. They are the aluminum wheels instead of the steel ones to save a little bit on the weight of the LTV. Plus it just looks way better. You gotta love that chrome. Back we have our vent cover over our furnace. This is one of our storage compartments. Here's where I keep a lot of my tools and stuff. I got air compressors, cable for shore power, water holes, regulators, power adapters are in there. Our batteries are right underneath here. So we have two lithium batteries underneath there. And once again we have more storage. Here we have storage with our sine wave converter. Here we have our generator. There's our LP generator. Then just another real small storage compartment. But it still holds quite a bit. We've been on a couple of different trips and we've come nowhere close to doing all the storage. So we also one of the reasons we got the twin bed was because of all the storage it has. Now the Wonder has a very large back garage but the Unity has a very nice one too. Inside here already I've got a large 12 by 15 pad for the ground outside the coach. I have a 15 foot clamshell screen room inside there. When I travel I usually have an air fryer inside here. So there's lots of room on this side. Then as we walk around we have our trailer hitch so we can tow up to 4,000 pounds. We're going to use it for is our bike racks. Already got the 7 pin light connector in case you wanted to tow a vehicle. Up on top we have our two backup cameras. The one is the actual backup camera. The other one is a live camera feed at all times. As we walk around this is the other part of the pass-through garage. You can see there. So there's plenty of room still. We have our chairs. This is underneath the one twin bed so you can get to it either way. But there's more than enough room to put golf clubs yet. So we're looking forward to that trip. Underneath here this is our service center. So we've got paint on off switch. Our water pump on off switch for out here. Our propane fill. Our Santa flush. This is where we're going to plug into and then dump with our black and gray tanks. On this side we have our outdoor shower as well as our city hookup. And this is it gives you a very easy winterized, non winterized valve so you can do the winterization yourself. Power, shore power connects that. Then we have a larger case here. This is where I have a lot of our chairs. Use the sewer hose and that's where it stores. This is where our Truma hot water heater is. Then we have our last storage compartment. And finally where you fill it with diesel which is nice it's behind the door so you don't have to worry about someone stealing your diesel gas. So it's got a 24 gallon tank on it. We've been at with just under 7,000 miles we've been averaging 16 and a half to 17 miles per gallon. Not too bad as it breaks in more. Might as well go up a little bit. It's got that nice Leisure Travel Van lines all the way up. And what's nice is it's got this nice footstep here so you can actually get up here and clean all the window. And finally we got our 400 watts of solar panel up there on top. We didn't get the LTV with it instead we went aftermarket and got it afterwards. But boy are we glad we have it since we travel quite often with our dogs. So we really love and enjoy this Leisure Travel Van. We had fun and it's so smooth driving it. It's so worth the wait and worth the price. So we're so excited and looking forward for more adventures with our LTV. Thanks for watching and see you in our next videos!
