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.

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.

would love an extra bed in the back for when you don't want to bring the Murphy down.

We have a 2022 Unity FX on order and the dealer told us LTV has now made it possible to put the bed down with the slide in. Was he wrong about that? I'll triple check with him, but just curious if you've gotten different info directly from LTV? Thanks!

I can’t imagine that is the case. The reason the MB can and the FX can’t is the counter depth difference in front of the bed. The MB has a small TV cabinet and the FX has the deep kitchen cabinet there. They would have to make significant structural changes and I have not heard that is the case.

Why doesn't LTV put induction cooktop in the units rather than a propane stove? I have induction at home and it's wonderful. I bet they will use induction when they introduce the next Mercedes electric vehicle.
@Pagosa3 жыл бұрын
Induction would be for an all electric coach that has a large lithium bank. Propane fuels the cook top, water heater and furnace

I'll never understand why people want the LEAST efficient mode for heating their food, water, and air. Do you intend to always pay for shore power? To never camp outside of an RV park?

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.

Yes, it's a great floorplan with lots of options.

Hi. Can you do a video on financing a leisure travel van? I’m not sure if I should buy an extra small home in another state or a travel van. Real estate always appreciates but this will depreciate. But the world is in shambles and happiness is on my mind.
@Pagosa3 жыл бұрын
The RV is most certainly an investment in lifestyle and not in finances. If you can afford to tie up the money and have a depreciation, yet be enriched in the experience, then go for it.

Agree. However an investment into life and experiences is also a valuable asset. But if the financial commitment is counter to the ability to afford, maybe rent a week or two instead of buy one.
