The Murphy bed on the FX looks like you can’t walk by it when it’s down. Is that true?

It's tight, but you can shimmy through. There is actually a hinged cover that covers the step well on the MB so you don't fall in the footwell when bed is down. The FX is even tighter, but no foot well cover for some reason.

The other benefit of the 39" TV is you can hook up your laptop and use it as a big computer monitor! I like the UMB because of the TV and big bed and you can use the same space for eating & watching tv at the same time.

I've really been interested in the Unity IB and have been researching it a lot. I like the idea you can swap out to a large lithium battery and have 400 watts of solar charging but the propane tank and water tank is really small. It would be nice if you could swap them out to higher capacity tanks.
@Pagosa
@Pagosa 3 жыл бұрын
The propane isn't too bad, but the fresh water in the IB is one of the larger for the LTVs, so might be enough for your use.

Your absolutely correct regarding both the scarcity of these units to simply view and their availability, currently running at about an 18-24 month wait according to our local dealer. Earlier this year we ordered the RL, as the rear lounge layout with it's large windows made up for some of it's cons. The FX also makes a compelling case, as I really like the 2 living area options. Had us second guessing our decision on the RL. Thanks again for making another very informative video!

@@Pagosa I wish they create a new floor plan to combine the RL and FX. RL is all glammed up with so many windows (I like it) but the small space in front is certainly a con. Is it technically not feasible to have slideout on RL ? I am wondering why LTV is not doing it. Also, on RL they have ceiling LED lights and not sure why that is not provided for other floor plans. I also noticed that RL includes the Dometic IoT control panel but that is not offered on other floor plans. RL also has window in bathroom which can be covered with glass. Why not in other floor plans ? It seems RL is getting the most love from LTV.

Thank you for comparing the floorplans. I'm a tall person too, so I appreciate your feelings about the beds. One thing I am curious about is the toilet placement. They all look seem to have very little elbow room and legroom in front of them.

My hope is for a Unity MB. I'm a big fat guy so the shower space is needed if I don't want to bust the door out :) I have 2 questions: the Wonder has AWD (all wheel drive) now but LTV has not gotten the 4x4 Mercedes chassis. Is there a reason for this? And on the Mercedes is there space underneath for a larger fuel tank? I am asking because if you get the diesel generator a few extra gallons would make a difference. Thanks for the video. Loving the channel!
@Pagosa
@Pagosa 3 жыл бұрын
I don't think they have plans for the 4x4 just yet, as it would reduce the weight rating and it's pretty low as it is. I have not heard anyone upgrading the fuel tank, but would be interesting to see that. The generator really sips the diesel, so it's not bad at all.

This was really helpful. I really liked the RL and Twin Bed but as a bigger guy I'm having second thoughts because of your comments about claustrophobia in the front cabin. And being in Iowa, we don't have any easy access to see one in person or a way to get service down the road. Did you ever consider the Winnebago Navion / View 24D (or something similar)? Because of the marketing, I position LTV higher in terms of brand quality, but that's also from the perspective of someone who has never owned an RV previously.

I'm still after the Wonder RTB. The storage space is a must for bicycles and smaller kayaks. No more bikes getting stolen. Generator and portable washing machine storage. I tested that space on an older model and it all fits with room to spare. I'm waiting for the new 2022 debut.. I wasn't happy with the flex panels on the 2021. They said they changed that on all models. So far it's seems to be true.

I’ve never compared the sound between the two, but if you jump on my generator oil change video, I show what it sounds like. The gen will shut off at 25% Diesel tank capacity.

The real problem, and an issue common to all Class B and C, is they only have two relatively comfortable seats. Dinette and sidefacing coach or sofa are not “sittable” for long trips. In fact, you can find the same issues with Class A. But things are worse for Class B and C: they may sleep more than two, but only have two sittable chairs; or they give you more chairs, no sleeping room for third person. Are they all meant to be for two people?

I am wondering if the Wonder Front twin bed may offer them th most space, openness and easiest for all of us to camp and travel in??? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

We removed the door from the bathroom on our 2017 FX. Covered up the wall space where the door hung with peel and stick tile sheets and it looks just fine. We added a tension rod and curtain panel between the rear living area and the front area opening up the back to a full size bath larger than the MB and access to all the overhead storage where we keep our clothes. Very easy solution.

My understanding of the MB is that you can't lower the bed with the slide retracted because it'll hit the cabinet. You have to extend the slide, drop the bed, and then retract the slide. Why would you? To pull over for naps while enroute without being super-obvious about it or whacking the slide into another vehicle, of course! Makes it tricky to get to the bathroom from the cab but that still HAS to be better than using most highway rest areas. My preferred solution: Get the CB because you can access the entire rig and use every feature with the slide retracted.

I'd love one of these but I'll have to save up for customization. I'd like a rear-lounge, only without the sofas. I'd like to make it a rear office, so a desk with two workstations, mounted monitors and all the electronics and telemetry wired to the back for that 'command center' feel. I'll also need it inverted for 220v AC and I'd like them to ship it to me without plug points. I'll finish the electrics myself as it is intended for European use.

You forgot to mention on the Murphy bed that not only do you get the theater seats and the large pop-up TV you also can change it into a dining table. This is one of the reasons we are seriously considering it because it transforms into everything I would want in a trailer. It has a bed a large TV directly across from the theater seats and the seats swivel and there’s a table that folds down from under the Murphy bed which is the wall behind the theater seats. That’s so awesome! And the two seats in the cab swivel around so you can seat for people comfortably.
