[@pennyemerson6470]

What an absolutely lovely couple you are! Thank you for the tour

[@JoJo-pu4cq]

After watching all the leisure van tours i couldnt make up my mind....but now I'm convinced this is the one I would find most joy in everyday. I love watching your videos!!

[@williambrancati6436]

Leisure Travel did one heck of a job designing the Unity. It's really spectacular.

[@charlesblount6858]

Thank you so much. I know it takes a lot of effort producing these videos. This is an excellent demonstration of your RV.

[@fremzter]

Fridge that opens both ways?!?!? We're in the future boys!

[@michaelrutledge7048]

Now, THAT'S a great and innovative feature!!

[@pattytownsend-zales1128]

Which blanket did you decide on? 🤔 hubby and I would love to drive around the country with our three cats. My concern is learning and maintaining all the motors, charging, dumping water and waste features. Both hubby and I are not handy, do you believe it is a necessity to have that ability ?

[@ilovelucy7073]

LOVE IT ! Dark gray for bed spread.

[@rsoubiea]

Theresa M i agree the darker grey will be more forgiving when traveling, especially with a dog. where does he sleep?

[@StressLessCamping]

Wow - what a very well thought out and beautiful rig! I’ve seen LOTS of RVs but this is really a stand out in a good way. Thanks for the tour Jennifer and Mike!

[@ericperich1240]

That is an Outstanding Video! You both did absolutely wonderful!!!!

[@orsors2129]

Love, love, love this RV. Reminds me of Felix the Cat's bag. The interior gives you the comfort of a much larger rig, but with the ease of a smaller vehicle.

[@7686kelly]

I'm going to be 55 years old this year ,...... And I want to thank you guys for this video ...... Love it long Time ...... great information

[@siyaciaraamandaperez]

Kelly Phillips I’m 35 years old I ❤️ haha I’m old but not that old but I ❤️ old ppl stuff even music 🎵 from 1950s 😊 5-15-19

[@ajisroadtrippin5505]

Such a lovely couple. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@skyken23]

Congrats on your beautiful new RV! I like the darker grey blanket.

[@MrPipe007]

Old age has never looked so beautiful! Congratulations!

[@conjurerwoman9726]

Ricardo Cortez LOL!

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

Dark, without a doubt. Love the pattern on the dark one!

[@lucipenteado698]

So versatile! I like the attention to detail that has gone into the planning of this van. My vote is for the darker grey blanket.

[@rehtracam]

How tall are you? I'm 6-2 could I do everything that you done with the Murphy bed?

[@jamesharris7680]

I am so obsessed with unity videos, I have seen them all on you tube. We ordered our Unity FX 2021 in July of 2020 and should take ownership at end of this year maybe a little sooner. thank you for Mike and Jennifer and Bo and Dean North in Canada, for helping us make our decision

[@mitchellsmith4601]

You both do an amazing job. I’ve watched videos made by people half your age, and they’re not nearly as entertaining, informative, and well-edited. Great job!

[@MarkMcCluski]

It's taken 15 years for me to see anything that makes me feel tempted to give up my Chinook. Thanks for the tour. Oh, dark grey BTW.

[@markownbey5084]

What a wonderful rig and tour. You both did such a great job of presenting a lot of info. The. Vehicle is really amazing and you can tell the company actually listened to RV full timers when planning. Thanks so much. Cheryl

[@verucasalt2391]

What a wonderful couple you are! I'd love to get on the road like that when we retire.

[@rosannajackson156]

We have just ordered our Unity Corner bed and your videos are helping us be more patient and build our excitement. Excellent content. Thank you for your personal slant on RV living. On the blanket front I love the light grey, however, they are both lovely.

[@donnadoll9443]

What a beautiful, well thought out coach!!! Love it! I like both blankets, but I would use the dark one for a little contrast. Here's to many good times and adventures in your new place. Be safe, Be blessed. 😉☺❤🇺🇸💙

[@dianependley3193]

Love the dark gray for contrast against light wood ❤️❤️ love your channel . We are wanting to do some RV travels on the next year!

[@DukeTanner]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. Light blanket on the bed, dark blanket across the bottom of the bed! Snazzy.

[@wadedblade]

Outstanding RV and I think the dark gray blanket looks the best. Thanks

[@chads.4272]

Such a pleasure to watch you two share this. I know why I finally subscribed lol I watched you for a while now. Thank you for your channel

[@kkatmom]

Great video! The Unity is a beautiful van! I do love the light colors of the interior. My vote would be for the light blanket. Thank you for sharing what you like about the Unity! Until next time...

[@mariacyou9265]

Congratulations on your beautiful and comfortable LTV Unity❣️ 👍 I think dark grey blanket will be more practical for Bo. Happy travels 🤗

[@716lvwed]

You made a great choice with this upgraded class B. Thanks for the wonderful tour.

[@coryellpeters6099]

Darker because I Like the quilted pattern and the darker has a little shine. You two are so cute!

[@richardmurdock574]

What a great walk thru video, I like the Darker grey as well. God Bless

[@woofolliesmydog8628]

That fridge is BRILLIANT!

[@annekruszka3169]

I love how the refrigerator opens - curious to see all your storage!

[@clarkclarke]

Yeah!! LOL!!!!! 3:51 LOL!!!!! I wonder what brand of fridge that is... I've watched a lot of the videos with Dean and never saw him show that ..

[@katnaps6277]

This is my first time watching y’all and I really enjoyed it. The both of you seem to have likable personalities filled with humor.

[@ceecee3488]

oh dark grey with maybe coral print pillows? Love your RV.....its very cozy and well layed out.

[@flyshacker]

Very nice tour, as always! I can't believe all the ways you can reconfigure that Murphy Bed area. I don't know if I could remember them all. It seems you have a lot to switcharoo from the dining room with extra guests to the full bed. But it's great to have all that flexibility. I also really like the rear lounge area where Mike hangs out. The whole layout looks so well planned. (But I am leery of a slide out with long-term maintenance issues.)

[@robing7524]

flyshacker I wouldn’t worry about that slide out for a minute. You can see that the leisure travel vans are very well constructed. We have slide outs in our Entegra motorhome and have never had a single issue.

[@flyshacker]

@@robing7524 how many years have you owned your Entegra motorhome?

[@garbinator09]

FlyShacker, Slide Mechanisms are powered by 12 volt drill motors. I have no idea who/whom supplies these. Here is my opinion. Slides are neat till they decide to not function. Such as forgetting your unit is not on level ground then experiencing issues with half measures. Meaning grinding like sounds, popping like sounds emanating from the slide mechanisms as misalignment can take place especially when its late, you’ve been on the road and you just want to get some shuteye at a Flying J for 6 hours or so. BAM! Wake-up, ready to roll, slide decides to not work. You hear clicking sounds, but nothings happening. Its about this time you go into “Oh Crap Mode” and dig out your owners manual. It was for me a mad moment when I could NOT locate a manual emergency crank port socket to insert a hand crank to manually moving the slide into the unit so as to get back on the road again. There are specific procedures that must be followed to tracking down possible failure to deploy/redeploy slide-outs. When folks say they’ve never had an issue. I feel glad for them. Slides are purely a choice. Here is what I learned as a previous slide guy... No Emergency Crank: Means the user must follow an electrical jump method that is scary as hell to do. I’m color blind, and I did not have an electrical piece of negative positive auto wire with me... Moving on. Slide seals LEAK high wind/s COLD air like mad. Heater comes on all the time trying to compensate its so terrible. Slide seals mandate tinder loving care. Debris can and does accumulate on top of extended room. The manual states the RV owners must always check for leaves, dirt, or sand before any operation. This means climbing a ladder. Which I won’t do. Or don’t want to do. The expensive optional roll-out cover to help keep debris from accumulating flop and flap like crazy during high winds making sleep darn near meaningless. Deployment of slides announces loudly your intention of camping when signage everywhere these days indicated limited time to no overnight so on so fourth. Guarantees a 0300hrs knock and announce from the local Yokel one man patrol on grave yard shift. Or worse, a security company charged with parking lot business safety and rules compliance. In the event a slide fails, and you cannot solve it, don’t rely on a tow truck tech being able to solve the issue either. As I learned via on the Job training each vehicle has its own quirks to being towed or hauled. It is a fricking agonizing experience as few to anyone at the end of a 1-800-HELPME five year bumper to bumper no cares no worries RV sells people push upon us dumb pilgrims thinking, or better yet, believeing we are in good hands. Not the case. Depending on what, where, even how far off the grid you be stranded. RV’s can become a very real nerve racking experience. Just know and understand thoroughly what needs to be performed step by step and don’t standby as I did and allow the sells guy brush you through as he says, “I know I’m going pretty quickly through this Gary, but I think you already know more than I do kind of statement. Negative! Have the fortitude to state show ME! Then: now help guide me through these emergency procedures until I fully understand. And make sure the unit is level! Guess thats it, my eyelids are starting to mimic grannies old roll up shades... their starting to lower to the down position. Cheers!

[@Damon1915]

Your Leisure Travel Van is so gorgeous and I like the lighter gray bedspread better.

[@bobpetrovski8677]

Love it! Best floor plan I've seen. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels.

[@kathe9342]

Your Unity is beyond wonderful! I like the dark grey better! Happy Trails. 😁

[@WendySyron_10.]

Congratulations! on your new rig. It’s great- really one of the best I’ve seen. So many great features! Enjoy!!

[@pjt3887]

Congratulations on the new RV. After seeing what another person went through getting service and parts fron LTV it was a nightmare. I hope that this won't be your experience. You do a truly professional job at your videos. Really appreciate all of your hard work. I love this model from LTV. I'm also looking at Tiffin. Still have a few years to decide. Happy trails and safe travels.

[@lmartinez3633]

Nice unit, you were very thorough in your video

[@archienowell8418]

My wife says, light gray sheets, dark gray blanket. Love your videos.

[@opaandomascampingadventures]

What a gorgeous RV. Congrats on your purchase!!

[@CaesiusX]

Thanks for this tour! Been going back and forth between LTV Unity IB and Pleasureway Plateau XLMB. Every little bit helps, especially when couples like you share your experience with a particular model. Thank you again.

[@hyflyin1]

I thank you for this - good health and long life to you both !!!!!

[@logicrealty9086]

you guys seem great for each other, just subscribed.. thanks for sharing :)

[@dwoodygura]

We love this motorhome also. Just the right size and endless features. The rear lounge is a must. I vote for the dark spread, gives nice contrast.

[@roslolian11]

Wow that bed is so awesome and ingenious

[@debbylongenecker3880]

Darker grey. Love your new travel home 👍🏼

[@lee-justsayin991]

Congratulation! I always love the FX's flexibility. I like the dark grey blanket.

[@deesandiego]

ok you 2 are too cute , happy trails . love your rig

[@joeo7257]

Function, Function, Luxurious Function.

[@carlaifera5254]

.....dress bed with darker grey comforter......a nice contrast to pillow cases.......drape folded lighter grey comforter across foot of bed to compliment pillow cases and create a 'finished' look to your decor.

[@fabricionovellino8077]

This one video is very good and professional. Congratulation! Hello from Cabo Frio city, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil.

[@csikomas8910]

Great vid, very informative. I like the dark grey. :)

[@phoenixlam931]

This model is also my dream RV . Love it. It is so practical!!

[@madtrucker3757]

Light gray, definitely. It maintains the light and airy feel of the RV.

[@CanadaFree.6014]

I like the lighter grey. More warm. Beautiful unit and lots of useful features they built into the unit.

[@CanadaFree.6014]

Actually I changed my mind after staring at the two blankets for a couple minutes. Darker is better. Nicer pattern and looks almost velvety.

[@dmorean]

Thanks for a great video. I'm looking forward to a video on what you would like to see improved in this motorhome.

[@fakehesap6383]

I like it when it rains and this van is dream to me awesome

[@kaguila]

Yes, the Dark One!! Thanks for the tour!!

[@annabrown4221]

I really enjoyed watching your video! Thank you for sharing.

[@RVLifestyle]

Thank you Anna!!! Please subscribe to our channel if you haven't already!

[@jetgold]

I have to call this a " Convenience Mobil " with so many ways to use this . I would be using it as daily driver . Go to track in the morning for some running, have a shower and drive right to work. plus it ready to go for any weekend or long vacation. best of luck you both have a great channel.

[@sylviadragoon1770]

Hello nice people, the dark grey blanket looks very nice. Thank you for showing your new home on wheels, is beautiful, I was not expecting to see the fridge door opening both sides, soo convenient, Hugs from Lake Worth Fl.

[@smokinjim5885]

Dark grey blanket. Although the light colors are nice and give a feeling of openness and space one needs a little contrast so as not to get to washed out. So the dark one, definitely. And I also love the RV! All the conveniences and space of a larger one but clever in design so the same spaces can be used for many different things. Can't wait to get one for myself.

[@JESUSLOVESU2]

Loved your new van and the detailed tour!! I like the dark grey blanket best. Wishing you both more adventures and happy trails and God’s protection and provision along the way! Take care and God bless you both and your little dog too!! 🥰☺️

[@lone982]

Thanks for the tour, great job. Inspiring design.

[@thoughtsinpassing2968]

This vehicle is perfect for you two. I look forward to see your 'personalization' video. I vote for the darker blanket for contrast. Thank you for sharing your new home with us.

[@amydelpiere9315]

Waiting anxiously for your thoughts on the Unity now that you've traveled with it more. This is the second time I've watched your tour video. I was not excited about the murphy bed at first, but the FX layout is growing on me. I worry about sleeping in a bed that requires a slide on those nights you just want to sleep and hop back into the driver's seat early. Because my husband and I could use the front sofa and back lounge to sleep on, that may not be a deal breaker after all. Anyway I'm just researching for our future. We won't be upgrading to an RV for several years I imagine. We just bought our travel trailer about 3 years ago and are very happy with it. I do not like to drive the truck and trailer however, and we think we will be happier having a shorter rig for more extensive travels. The FX has the galley on the passenger side which I prefer. We live in Michigan and like to travel to state parks and more rustic camping situations. Thank you for your great information and video. You are winning over my husband too, he said he was listening to your podcast yesterday while working on our farm shop!

[@j.patrickmoore9137]

When I saw the dinette, I htought of my aunt's saying: "That's slicker than snot."

[@speedyrabbit75]

Thank you guys for the complete overview of your rig! Love the Leisure Travel Vans, It's looks great! 🤗 Just subscribed and definitely liked this video!! 👍

[@Lolaandcassidyadventures]

Love our new to us 2018 FX. It’s loaded and so nice. Not cheap however.:(

[@jessykapop]

Your rv is the nicer I have seen. So much room in a perfect size

[@rtgrimesc300]

Thank you for the informative video. Just starting the research process for our first RV. I really like the size and tech with the Leisure Vans. I enjoy seeing how people are using the different interior configurations too. Tough decision to have a full time bed or not.

[@donl7438]

Congrats! I like the darker grey. Thank you for the great video.

[@cakeinspired1435]

Love this. My nest is almost empty and THIS is my future!!!

[@danielhassan9783]

Thank you for sharing your rv! I found it very informative and interesting! Happy trails!!

[@otrie]

LTV's has just really figured out the space concerns in all of their products. Like Dean says "very smart!" Thanks for your videos and hope to see you out "yonder" one day. I like both colors, but I guess I'd choose the dark grey first.

[@a.oliver4426]

Light grey! Wonderful video...gonna buy one of those! Thanks!!!

[@jenniferbaragar8254]

Love your content. Wonderful presentation. Jennifer from Michigan!

Very nice ! Looks like you will have many more fun days or traveling ! Thanks for sharing !

[@gailrobinson7125]

Very nice setup in your new van. Thanks for showing us your new home away from home! My vote is for the darker gray cover...like the contrast. However, both look nice. 😃

[@latada2198]

Hello Mike and Jen, Congratulations on your new coach it’s beautiful! We are having the 2020 Tiffin Wayfarer 24TW built at this time! Jen, I would choose the DARKER GREY! It sure brings some rich depth to the room. Thanks for sharing and asking for our opinion in your decorating ideas, that was fun!

[@rlynn1262]

The dark grey looks nice with the leaf pattern.
