Leisure Travel Van Wonder! We FINALLY Found One...actually Two!!!

- Amazing Prices for the Leisure Travel Van "Wonder"? Is it a Class B+ or a small Class C...who knows? All we know is it's on a Van Chassis, has NO slide outs...and feels very roomy! One thing to note: We are unsure if the 2023 was used or not...for the quoted price of $119k, we assume it had to be used. But it seemed brand new. So they either misquoted us, or this was a used rig with many miles on it. Nevertheless, we were impressed, to say the least.

Hillary, don't be an "RV Blocker"! Can't you see Bob is in love?😂
😂😂😂 This comment made our day!!!
We have the Leisure Unity TB (in the rear), and it's FABULOUS, couldn't love it more! We're lucky in that our HOA considers anything on the van chassis okay, as long as it doesn't block sidewalks. When made into a king, that rear bed is HUGE, bigger than a king, actually. But given Hillary's issue with the shower being small, you may want to look at the Murphy Bed or Corner Bed models, as they have residential-size shower/bath, I believe - it would be worth looking at.
So awesome! You’re so lucky!
I love the second one. Both look like quality builds!!
I want the rear twin bed and yes it has a table. It was in that pull down cabinet. You just missed it.
Thanks! We were trying to hurry and not be in the way. Good to know. 😃
I like the Wonder rear lounge with the murphy bed. The close second is the rear twin but all of them are pretty nice tho.
We have a Wonder Rear Lounge and absolutely love it. 18 months of carefree ownership with zero issues. You would eliminate so much of your drama if you bought one which might be bad for the channel!😂. Rear twin bed was our second choice but we fell in love with the RL.
So glad to hear this!!! Thanks for sharing!
I do love the Leisure Vans and the latest twin rear bed model is really nice. The sticker shock ended it all!
The first one was great. Loved the bathroom. And it was almost brighter inside 😊
I think so too!
I really like the wonder. thanks for showing us.
The first unit had a much more open layout that the 2nd one. Everything looked more cramped. But yes they look like RV's so that's an HOA issue. Thanks for showing us these vehicles, I haven't seen them before.
You are so welcome!
Problem solved, buy a house with a bigger driveway. You guys are the best ❤
Hahahahaha! You’re brilliant!
I just watched the video from leisure travel about this van. It looks like a winner. Well built and very practical. If you can go for the rear bed, it’s so much nicer. They have a Murphy bed on the back and a lot of seating room when you’re not having the bed down.
Agree. Very well built. If we did go this route we would want beds in the back.
We just got our Wonder FTB after a 2year wait. It was going to be another year or more wait but they stopped making the FTB so they wanted to get those built and delivered. We love it. My husband has been working the last 4 days modifying and adding more storage. Love watching your videos.
So awesome! Glad you love it!
What mods /upgrades did you do?
We just picked up our FTB on Tuesday. Amazon and Camping World have been very busy this week!
I’m wondering how they do on gravel roads? Wish there was more clearance.
Wonder Rear Twin Bed. Best floor plan. Dump that Lemon and Step up!
Hahaha!
will come at a big cost! These Wonders are overpriced.
The table is in the first cabinet he opened up for the front twin bed, it swings out for use with 2 cup holders!
Let's combine the rear twin ! With the larger shower !!! Perfect !!👍
Agree!
Thanks for stopping and showing us the best rv! Very well made and both layouts work for me!
Thanks Barbara!
We vacationed in FL and I saw an LTV for real and loved it! It’s a used 24UIB so it’s an island bed in the back. Love it and bought it 🤣. Our other class A is 34’ and I can’t drive it pulling our Jeep. Love the LTV length and had no trouble driving it home. It’s gonna be a fun camping year ahead!
Fun! Happy Travels!
I think you two are awesome and I appreciate your videos but I cannot believe you passed on a used Leisure Travel Van for Mr. Lemon...at the same price. Don't feel bad, we've all made vehicle-buying mistakes, it's part of driving life. Your first car and RV are never your last car and RV. Since you need to be able to park at home, how about Coachmen for your next van? I love their build quality and company, they are like the LTV company of America. The Coachmen 2025 vans are looking so good! 😍
Each floor-plan has its advantages and disadvantages. Personal preference, but I like the twin rear beds best with table booth in the front except bathroom is smaller but that is the room spent less time in. Also, lithium batteries👍🏼👏🏼
Agree!!!
Traversing narrow dirt or sand path roads, boondocking in the wilds, parking & navigating when visiting metro areas & finding dump stations are some of the reasons we would not consider a B+/C. That said, what great layouts and value.
When you “dig” into unseen areas you will find the wiring loomed. A much better wiring job than our previous Airstream which featured Rats Nest wiring.
Oh ow! I would have thought Airstream would do a better job.
The Wonder is my personal favorite! Rear twin bed or rear double bed.
It’s such a great choice! Agree on the beds.
Super great unit. Love it here front bed. Way more seating with it up front. I will definitely check out. Thanks
Our pleasure!
Just remember, it's the 350 HD for the Ford Transit, not 3500. Also, that second Leisure Travel Van "Wonder" that you looked at, you said it was a 2020 model, but the Ford Transit 350 HD cutaway chassis that this one is built on is still the pre-facelifted one from the 2015-2019 model year, so perhaps the chassis is from 2019.
Oh ok. Thanks.
@@Vancaskeys You're welcome!
Twin beds are so underrated. (From someone who suffers from the 2x a night spouse awakening to use the bathroom) I like a rear bath because it doesn't cause that bathroom bottleneck in the middle of the rig and is larger. That price seems very good though.
I hate that you guys missed the Leisure Travel Vans exhibit at the Tampa RV show. They had all the 2024 vans there. Dean was even there.
Oh man! Wish we could have went to it!
Oh! I've been hoping you'd shoot a video of an LTV Wonder, as i needed to see taller people in one (I'm 5'9")!!! My favorite is the Rear Lounge model. Thank you, THANK YOU!! 😊
Yay!! You are so welcome!
We got our 2024 Wonder rear twin bed last month. After a 32 month wait after ordering. We love it.
We looked into this exact Wonder model, however, we were told it was almost a 2 year waiting list, so we are now looking at the Coachmen Crosstrail that you featured recently!
Oh wow...that's so crazy! The Crosstrail seems like such a great deal! You'll have to let us know what you do!
I wrote LTV back in August 2023 and was told that their Unity model is available in 6 to 24 months in dealerships located between Texas, the northeast and southeast.
Bob and Hillary I've been watching you for a long time. I'm understanding what your priorities are in a floor plan. You should focus on the bathroom. It's a deal breaker if the shower is too small.
I'm thinking about the Airstream Atlas. Too much$$. The Panorama on a Promaster.
Also some Coach House and Pleasure Way.
Yes they are. Thanks sharing!
I'm adding to my comment. I agree with you on the Class B.But have been looking at the B Plus. I would be a single traveler with a possible occasional guest. I like the Trend and the Fuse. There aren't too many RVs close to me to look at.
Also you guys need 2 large twin beds. Hopefully you can find what works for you.
:) THANKS MUCH for another GREAT share! I would go with the second one, an if the side seat has seat belts, even BETTER! I cue to Hilary to see her reactions :) Maybe Mr. Lemon might be puckering :) ALL the BEST and ENJOY! Cheers!
Right on! Thanks for watching and always making our day with your awesome comments Marty!
Great Videos Bob, & Hillary, Im the same with you liked the Wonder Rear Twin Beds, However there's a bit of wait time to get one New and the Price is way up there. So keep looking for use one . Im sure Hillary will agree with some trade offs. Good Luck to you both always enjoyed your content & presentations.
Thanks!
The first one hands-down is the winner. There was a table stored in the closet so it must have a table. The second one being now four model years old and probably out of the (Ford) factory warranty (by time) would have to come way down below the $110K. Plus it was built during the pandemic. I'd want to talk to the previous owner and ask why they traded, how much did the dealer allow, and what does the unit need. For either one, I'd get an inspection just avoid another attack of Mr. Lemon Part II.
I have toured the leisure factory and I can tell you they are very well made.
So cool! We would love to do this!
I love the sound of NO that seems to come from behind the camera. 😂
Those are really nice travel vans! I'm really impressed and the prices are great!
They are!
Look Bob, are you trying to steal Dean's job over at Leisure Travel Vans 🤣! I've been watching him since forever! I wanted one of these before I found the camper vans. This would be too big just for me and the dog. I think that would be nice for you and Hillary.
Hahahaha! Not at all! But so fun to tour one! We just have to talk Hillary into it 😅
Hi Hillary and Bob, thanks for the tour! Nice rig, and it is definitely a bigger rig. I imagine it's difficult to resist the creature comforts, eh?😉 The L shape kitchen is cool in the used one. I wonder (no pun) if the shower is bigger on the new model. 🤔
Thanks Joe! 😂😂😂 Too funny! And yes it’s hard to resist those creature comforts😄
If nothing else, it might make Mr. Lemon nervous enough to straighten up and fly right for a bit. 😅 🤷🏻♂️@Vancaskeys
@@joecutro7318 🤣🤣🤣
The Front twin bed is the oddest design they make. I’ve always wondered why someone would get that model. When you go this size you need 2 zones and the FTB has just one. The Wonder Rear Twin Bed is our favorite by far. BUT its totally a retired person model, attractive, upscale and classy. Have you seen the factory or new price on these? Easily $185k. What I would like is if they would somehow make the Wonder RTB look more aggressive and off roadie. That would be the bomb! Thanks for the review.
Totally agree...it would be awesome looking if they did that!
This is also one of my favorite companies. If you showed/find Hillary the rear lounge build you might have her sold :)
True 😂
The rear twins basically give two living spaces to hang or be alone.
Not cheap but good prices.
We have the same awning style windows in our van. Love them. Not a fan of twin beds vs one large bed. The rear bed one I like better. That kitchen counter is too small for me. I prefer an actual van - I think they hold up better to dirt road boondocking etc. But more choices are always good.
Those windows are amazing! Glad to hear you love them.
So far the coachman 20xg is my go to, lithium, storage is great too , cost a little more than these but better lay out
The Wonderer RTB is may personal favorite…but I also love the Wonderer RL
Their best floor plan is the RL (rear lounge with 2 separate living areas, sideways Murphy bed in the back). Thats a good deal for around $100k compared to your van conversion. This is a huge step up in livability compared to a van.
I'd rather have the second one I think. Can't have it though if you can't park it at home. :)
Truth!
rear twin bed has the best garage
Agree!
You're getting closer to your Dream and pricing. Hillary, hold out until it's almost perfect! We know, having had six!!!
Hahaha...true!
Those are both priced very good.
Agree.
Those prices are insanely low for 2023 Wonders. I seriously hope you jumped on one of them.
I'm sold! I hope he talked you into it.
Hahaha! It was a great deal!
Thinking about getting one in the near future
Hillary- Were you talking to me when you were taking pains to point out that, yes, you really do know the difference between a Class B and C. Hah. Just yesterday I was watching a video of someone touring an obvious Class C - it was a classic MiniWinnie. And they referred to it as a class B - horrors!
But what I wanted to say mostly was that although I'm a fan of the RTB because it has bicycle storage and that under bed hanging closet, I don't think you'd be able to get either one of them into your driveway without hanging way over into the sidewalk, would you? They just look too long for your parking apron. Or maybe looks are deceiving… but, yeah, if you want to sneak into a neighborhood and park stealthily, they also definitely scream "RV!"
Bahahaha! No I wasn't 😅 It would fit in our driveway but our HOA would have a fit. Plus we are fans of driving our van like a car and it not screaming RV...at least for now 😂
@@Vancaskeysdo you use Mr Lemon as your everyday vehicle when at your house or do you have another car?
A Leisure Van for less than $120K is AMAZING!!! We're planning on getting a Leisure Corner Bed and are quite excited. I hope you all strongly consider it. Maybe storage for the Leisure would be an option? It's just such a nice RV. I would have jumped out of the van with just as much excitement as Bob if I'd seen a Leisure Van sitting there! 🙂
Kind of like the second one better. Separate bath and toilet. Kitchen is snug but functional. 🎉
True!
Those are. Awesome but it definitely is more rv like and need two parking spots most of the time
Right?! Agree…they are nice but not what we need right now…
If you are looking for class b +. How about a video on the crosstrail. That would be more rugged. No bob on this rv. Yoh would probably regret the buy in a few months after you bought it.!
We just did a video last month on the 2024 Class B+ Coachmen Crosstrail 20XG…we loved it!
Moving in up! What are the water, grey and black tank capacity? Really important for boondocks. It definitely looks like a class C for sure.
Hey guys. Not even completely through this video and had to say that I hope you bought it. If you didn't buy it, we were going to buy it. That was a great price for a 2023. We've been looking at those for a while. So hard to find stock. Anyway, it's gone. Someone got a great deal. I pray that it was and that Wonder is sitting in your driveway. I would never ever consider buying at La Mesa,but that was a great deal and we were tempted. Take care and God bless!
Haha...we should have! But we didn't. It was a great deal.
Try to find some RV in China! I bet there are lots of far more better than this! Most of them even got mini washer&dryer if you hate use public laundry facilities! The most point is they are far more cheaper than American made RV! Not only price but also quality and fashion advanced technology design! Unfortunately because of political reasons,China made RV are not allowed to import in North America ! But I found they are already in Australia and Newzealand !
@@jamesyao9199
Leisure Travel Vans are made in Canada
When are you picking it up?
🤣😂🤣🤐
Hmmm... it seems like Mr Lemon's days are numbered. Poor Mr Lemon😢 I like the 2nd layout. I think I'll get that. I'm not a fan of New RVs. I like Used. Good video 👍
Buy it for Bob Hilary, you know you want to 🙂 Great vans 🙂
😂😂🤣
We have a Unity RL in Casa Grande. Came from a RAM Pleasure way. A subscriber. Maybe we will meet one day. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! That would be fun to meet one day! Thanks!
Keys in the fridge! Go go go!
😂😂😂
That's for a cold start.
I prefer the front bedroom being single if I have to move fast I can
Nice!
Great prices!
Yes they are!
Go for the rear twin 👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Try looking at the Leisure Travel Van brands I think they have a good selection
I think the salesman was totally wrong with 119k for 2023 model.. They are normally priced way more. Also, in the FTB the table is behind the cabinet and swings out. No lagun post needed.
We agree. There’s no way right? Seems too good to be true. Thanks for the info about the table!
I wonder (hah) if someone got an awesome deal, because that would be 50 to 60k under the going rate for that RV.
Love the 1st one; thought I'd love the rear bed model, but to me, it feels too cramped compared to the 1st model--at least for my wants & needs.
Oh good point. 👍🏼
The murphy bed floorplan is the best....
The rear lounge is the one I really want
At the start of our search for our RV this was the first one we were gonna go with though we wanted the MB one with the residential bathroom.
But it's not really for BLM off-roading like we want atm. So STO won out but later in life LTV just might be in our future.
We totally get this!
I had hoped you tried bed length in the RTB, I'm 6' 4" and not sure I'd fit. The Wonder RTB has been my favorite layout for years but haven't found one to tour like you did. LOVING the market crash prices! A nearly $200,000 rig for just over $100,000, you should have bought one of them and dumped that terrible rig you're in!
I love this Leisures, i just can't afford one unfortunately
Golden question (pun intended) can you close the door of the necessary room?!? *giggles* but seriously tho, my heart dropped thru my backside and onto the floor when I saw your other vid!!! 8=)
Looks great! What’s the overall length? I missed that part
Looked like the table might be in that lower cabinet. Camera caught it but it was too low for him to see
Yep! We saw that in editing too! Haha.
Can’t great to see if you really purchased this. It would be fun but poor Mr. lemon.
Mr. Lemon would be so upset LOL!
Can you please do a review on the Winnebago Roam Open Concept?
Yes! Next time we see one we will!
Buy it!
Right!! 😅 -Bob
I don’t like the front twin beds. They aren’t all that comfortable to sit in to relax, so you’re left with only the seats in the cab. I did see a table in one of the closet doors you opened, but I don’t know where it might go. Maybe between the cab seats.
Try looking for the Chinook Maverick.
So cool!, look into the couch house RV, brand. You guy`s might like it better??
Only downside of LTV is that all their products are fair weather coaches. Single pane windows and exposed water lines mean very limited cold weather capability. It's surprising since their predecessor company, Triple-E, used to make a great line of 4 season coaches. 4-season B+ coaches are exploding in the RV industry, as evidenced by the EKKO, new 4-season Navion/View model, Entegra Condor, Jayco Granite Ridge II, and Chinook Summit. Except for the last, none have the inherent quality of LTV, so hopefully they will follow this trend.
I "wonder" why the price was so low ? Looks brand new.
Hehehe
Would you mind sharing the RV dealership that had these?
La Mesa in Phoenix.
You couldn’t be the Vancaskeys anymore!
Haha…true!
Class c caskeys (classy caskeys)
@@goldie74haha! That’s brilliant! 😅
I haven’t seen a front bed layout like that before. Are there seatbelts for passengers in the beds?
I don't think so. But we didn't check.
some days Bob wakes up and wants a Storyteller (tiny van) to explore rough roads and other days he wakes up and wants a luxury class C that can't leave the pavement....
Soooooo true!!!!!😂😂😂
Lol Rightttt lol
👍👍👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️
You sold me when you said it was made in Canada. No more Elkhart junk for me.
BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT 😂
😂😂😂
Where are you going to park a class C, Bob? Don't think the HOA will like that! ;-)
Agree!!! 😅 -Hillary
Help. Love you all but van is just to small for us. We are trying to find a You-tuber telling abut traveling in a Leisure Class C, or a Thor or a 24/5'. (Maybe Murphy Bed) We think that just may be what we are looking. (Agree with Bob) for but would like to travel along with someone a bit to see how life might be in one of them. Can you tell me of someone?
Hmmm not sure if I know anyone but if I can timing if someone I’ll let you know. We do love the Leisure Brand.
