2018 Unity Island Bed Review | Leisure Travel Vans Class B+ Camper Van RV

The 2018 Unity Island Bed by Leisure Travel Vans is one of the best looking class B+ vans on the market.

** More about this video **

The class B+ vans by Leisure Travel Vans are arguably some of the most stylistic class c vans available today. Their exteriors and interiors are modern, sleek and refreshing. At 25 feet in length the Unity Island Bed edition isn't the shortest in the world and it won't fit into a standard parking space but it's also not so large that you'd feel out of place driving it around a large city like San Francisco. The Unity is built on the Mercedes Sprinter cut-away chassis. That means the front end and cab is complete and finished by Mercedes but everything behind the cab is built and fitted out by Leisure Travel Vans.

The Island Bed edition features a front lounge directly behind the cab. When the two cab seats swivel around to join the two other permanent chairs you have ample seating for 4 around a large, removable table. The two additional seats have armrests and lap restraints but no 3-pt seatbelts. The chair behind the driver's seat converts to a small day bed.

Mid-section in the van is the galley. I love the curved concave and convex cabinets under the sink. They are classy and say "look at me, I'm high end!". There's plenty of storage including a pull out pantry; a large 6.7 cu. Ft. 3-way refrigerator, microwave and deep sink. A large window gives the economically designed kitchen an open feeling.

In the rear of the van is the large, permanent Island bed and adjoining dry bath. The dry bath is ingeniously designed with the shower on one side of the aisle and the toilet and sink on the other. With the door to the shower room open, it doubled as a door for the bedroom - smart. The shower is tall enough for a 6 foot individual with it's large skylight above. The best feature of the island bed is that it can be accessed from either side of the bed. This makes is easy to get into and out of the bed without disturbing the other. There are cabinets above the fancy headboard. The whole thing has a very residential feel to it.

I do have a couple concerns with the Unity Island bed. The first is that the power systems are inadequate. What comes standard is a 1000w inverter, 2 lead acid batteries and that's it. Up to 400w of solar is optional as is a diesel or lpg powered generator. That's unfortunate all around. The second concern I have is Leisure Travel Van's 2 year basic coach warranty. The Unity is billed as a luxury B+ and as such deserves a longer 5 or 6 year warranty.

I really like the Unity Island Bed's interior and exterior styling but I really wish they'd offer a longer warranty. 2 years doesn't scream confidence in their products.

This is the exact model at the very top of our short list. My wife and I can't wait to see one of these in person! We are really liking this. The European like design of the interior. Everything just the two of us need. And it allows us to still drive around in a city.

I Leisure Travel Van above every other van. But BIG THANKS to you for those unusual takes that Dean doesn't do. Like the fisheye look at the bathroom, and the back of the TV. Awesome!

Finally ! Someone actually sat down on a toilet during a review . Thank you for that .

[fredbennett]

Neil...thank you so much for these reviews! They are by FAR the best looks on Youtube into the class B market! I love the 360 degree option and the way you post pertinent data onto cabinets during the reviews. Your videos are really the next best thing to being there. If you get a chance I'd very much like to see a review of the LTV Wonder FTB (Front twin beds on a Ford chassis)...this model seems to be one of the favorites on the LTV Facebook fan page. Many thanks my friend!! Fred...in Indiana.

I love the look of leisure travel vans.especially with light wood and cream colored upholstery

[dianeedmondson]

One of my favorites....thanks for your great observation of the details! I watch you all the time, you're explanations are appreciated and helpful.

[jeffisso]

Having the OCCC information is very valuable. Thanks so much. Please include it in all your future reviews, maybe even do a video on what it means and how to calculate it. Thanks so much!! Keep up the good work.

[johntrussell]

Your reviews are amazing and such a creative use of 360 degree cameras. You deserve a million subs!

[lindaturner]

Appreciate your they sway and wobble like that when driving down the road?

[georgeramosjr]

I really enjoy your comprehensive reviews, & explanations of each vehicle. I’m pretty certain that u would do Dean, the owner of LTV’s heart good. I wonder if Leisure Travel Vans would make me a hybrid of two of their vehicles, an island bed with a Murphy bed in the living room area. I do have a question for you sir. I notice that u wear the same black shirt in every video. Is there (a) particular reason(s) why. I’m just curious.

[andreareinhardt]

Those are some slick overhead compartment latches (hidden underneath with no knobs). Really a nice change making the whole coach look more modern. Anyone know who makes them? Thanks for showing the newest, coolest things out there in the Class B World!

[colleenkaralee]

Great design, but what's with the wobbling so easily? Is that true for all Class b vans?

[dmorean]

We need someone like you to review class A & Super C motorhomes...nobody's doing it.

Hi Neil, what’s your thoughts on the Leisure B+ cutaway based rv vs a B van in terms of maneuvering and parking? Is the extra width a deal breaker for using as a second daily vehicle. They don’t seem that much wider. Would it fit in a parking space?

[colleenkaralee]

The positive latching system is superior imho to those popular little silver push buttons.

[kdakodiak]

Do you know what the cargo capacity is as well as the towing capacity?

[chefduane]

Why can't they do this on a Ford/GM/Chrysler cutaway chassis?  I just leery about over-road service on the Mercedes.  I'd be a customer. <Hmph>  I wish someone made a class b, no slideout, permanent bed, RV on a F/GM/C chassis.

Thanks for this review, father. Which church do you preach at?

[getcraig]

I thought we cover this motorhome already 🤔
I jus saw the last video, never mind 😁

[lindaturner]

What is the wobble from? It's making me nauseous. Good review though, you showed somemthings the other guy did not show. Thanks.
