[@e-scott8326]

Hi Bandon, you should probably compare service availability and costs too. Thanks

[@Pagosa]

Yes, I get that asked a lot. However, I don't think there is actually much difference as many ford dealers won't work on motor homes and Freightliner centers will work on MB chassis, so pretty sure it's about even.

[@ThePGChannel]

For me, it comes down to leveling jacks. I've been contemplating trading in my Plateau for the Unity solely for that reason. Unless you camp alone, it's a must-have.

[@Pagosa]

Agree

[@Curb71]

I think camping alone is the main reason for wanting hydraulic leveling jacks.

[@randym4121]

Oh, c'mon. 10 speed transmission, more horsepower and more torque? The Ford Transit is definitely going to tow more weight and be more efficient than the Mercedes.

[@Pagosa]

Gonna be interesting to see once the new MB chassis is real life tested

[@BarryandKaren]

Towing capacity is not only a function of power and torque. It's also chassis, brakes, weight, transmission, etc.

[@winstonrobinson6732]

I have never had a LTV however, I have had 4 sprinter vans and 3 transit vans. Believe me there is no comparison in ownership. The Transits beat the sprinters on MPGs in every case and gas as you pointed out is much less [$1 to $1.5 less per gallon]. I can have my transit serviced at a local Ford dealer about 10 miles away. I had to drive my sprinters 50 miles one way to get service done and most often had to make a second trip when parts came in from Germany. I remember my nephew was with me for a sprinter service at a dealership in Charlotte and they brought in lunch around 11:30am and my nephew was impressed. I told him we could have eaten at any steakhouse in Charlotte and I'd have saved a lot of money - LOL. I have never had any mechanical issues after warranties are expired but I've read horror stories about the sprinter and I'm sure it would require a bank loan - LOL.

[@Pagosa]

I'm very fortunate the main Dallas Sprinter service center is only 3 miles from my office. Understand that most folks aren't that fortunate.

[@DanielEckert63]

Brandon - can you create a video on sprint van issues that you’ve experienced or seen? I’m struggling with the Sprinter vs. Ford issue as well.

[@beckyelliott2871]

CONS ON BOTH: Availability of on -road Service centers and costs for each vs. Economic models of Luxury models.

[@Pagosa]

True for all RVs. If the potential repair is worrisome, RV ownership may not be a good choice for you. Will happen eventually.

[@eugeniosnerantzoulis3659]

Hello from Greece!! It is possible to do any changes it needs to use in Europe??? Wander or Unity!!!

[@Pagosa]

I know lot's of folks who ship their LTV over to Europe for the summer, so other than it being larger than most European RVs, and it being 110V electric, I think you would have no problem

[@rvtalltales9327]

Brandon, I have a 2022 wonder with all wheel drive and 14 mpg mileage. I chose awd in case I experience inclement weather traversing from New England to warmer climates. I am happy to have gas fuel. Glad I picked the wonder, just wish I had a little more legroom driving. My next rv will be a wonder mbl, if I can stand with my 6 foot 3 inch frame in the lowered ceiling due to the ducted air.

[@Pagosa]

I think your hair will be touching! That’s one area the Unity has an advantage is ceiling height with ducted

[@itsallbiznz155]

All-wheel drive may be necessary in a tight situation when if you encounter muddy roads.

[@Pagosa]

The problem is the Wonder sits so low to the ground, you wouldn’t really want to take it off paved roads. Sits much lower than the Unity.

[@dtollemache9441]

However if you really like the stability jacks and very luxurious sprinter cab and cheaper gas prices wasn’t a concern then I guess you would opt for the Mercedes Unity right?

[@Pagosa]

That's true. Transit catching up with MB, but MB still has a few advantages

[@globalstories1409]

gracias a este video me decidi a comprar el UNITY

[@Pagosa]

Me alegro de que haya sido útil

[@Curb71]

I think this was a great follow-up video because when I started looking at LTVs a couple years ago the unity was far superior. The price difference was large enough that that was essentially the main difference in my opinion. The one thing that I oddly look forward to the most going from a travel trailer to a little motorhome is hydraulic leveling jacks. If that can't happen on the Ford, then I guess Unity it is.

[@Pagosa]

Levelers are awesome and worth every cent

Thanks for your review

[@carolyndorn7328]

My main problem with the ford is leg room. The mercedes sprinters I have sat in give me enough leg room to drive comfortably unfortunately the ford is so uncomfortable for my 36 inch legs and my husbands 38 inch legs. I do most of the driving but he cant even get into the passenger seat on the fords. If there isnt enough leg room for comfort then traveling 4-8 hrs is not going to be an enjoyable trip. This is a shame because I have a ford flex and it is the most comfortable to drive and tons of leg room. My second most favorite thing is the leveling jack. I think they will make my back so much happier when it comes time to set up and tear down camp. Thank you for the video because I was curious as to the differences between the Unity and Wonder.

[@Pagosa]

The Sprinter and the Unity are a dream to drive and so comfortable

[@badguy5554]

I had the Ford Diesel on my B+ Camper. I could drag race with it. I have also driven the Sprinter Class B. I felt the Ford Chassis made for a smoother ride. DON'T rule out the Ford in favor of the more prestigeous Sprinter. Plus...always looking for a Diesel pump, when I pulled into a gas station...and having to buy DEF every six months (and having to decode the date code on the container to insure I wasn't loading old, stale, DEF) was a pain. On my next RV I opted for a gasoline engine.

[@Pagosa]

Gas isn't a bad option at all

[@Grammapro]

Totally agree Brandon - gas all the way! Thanks for this comparison!

[@Pagosa]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BarryandKaren]

The Transit gets around 10-12 mpg at the same speeds that the new Sprinter gets 18mpg, and diesel was cheaper than regular gas this entire summer on our 7k mile trip around the Western Canada and USA.

[@Pagosa]

I was glad to see diesel prices come down!

[@jeffmcclure888]

Based on your comparison of “house” it sounds more like a tie for that category. Giving it to the Wonder because it is less expensive seems odd since you have a separate category for “price”

[@Pagosa]

Wonder has been brought into equity with the Unity lately and much less expensive still, so a very good value

[@mikespies786]

Great video, Brandon; thank you. One point on the AWD; having had many vehicles with this feature, it works fantastic in heavy rain, mud and sand, regardless of outdoor ambient temps. I love the idea of an AWD RV and I think MB will get there in the next year or so. My issue is that at 6' 2", the Transit's leg room while at the wheel is just too tight for me to be comfortable on long drives.

[@Pagosa]

good point. the Sprinter is super comfortable for us tall guys for sure.

[@LadySlippers]

I am here to boost the AWD. It makes a huge difference in handling and control of your vehicle. And if you want to boondock, it's definitely an added bonus. Sadly, I am a woman whose height is almost 5'11" and I need a lot of legroom. So I would have to decide (right now) which is more important.

[@winstonrobinson6732]

One additional suggestion to Ford - why let Sprinter continue to have the largest van - put a "big van" on the 178" wheelbase and dominate the van market with a truly BIG van.

[@Pagosa]

Interesting question

[@williamstrickland9678]

What changes are you expecting with the new MB chassis? Gas?

[@Pagosa]

It's still diesel, but 4cyl now with more horsepower and torque

[@harukakanata9408]

Wonder should add “on demand” hydraulic lift system on suspension for the 4x4 model

That would be nice

[@RobertC59]

Thank Brandon, great video in going through the same dilemma. Decided to go with the Unity MBL mostly due to the availability of the Mercedes-Benz versus the Ford (sales indicated 6-12 months longer wait for the Ford) and the self-leveling jacks on the Unity with the slide out. Agree on the diesel cost are significantly higher but who knows when I actually get the unit that will most likely be in 2024! Ouch! The Sprinter will also be going to a 4 cylinder this summer that has had very positive performance reviews but still not sure if they FINALLY added TPMS! Would be great if you get any inside information on the new Sprinter. Appreciate all your videos as I patiently wait for my LTV!

[@Pagosa]

Glad it helped! I sure hope TPMS is there too

[@haven8185]

between unity and wonder MBL models with the slide murphy bed the wonder can have the bed down whether slide is in or out the unity can't have the murphy bed out unless the slide is out because it will hit the counter

[@Pagosa]

Both the Unity MB and MBL can have the bed down with slide in. It's the FX that can't have the slide in and lower bed.

[@MIkalAbdullahSr]

I am considering Unity. My main concern is the diesel generator's noise and smell vs the Wonder's gas generator. I live in Texas, so I would run the generator a lot for ac.Thoughts?

[@Pagosa]

The Unity has a propane gen option, which I now recommend over the diesel, but if you do get the diesel, you can't tell the noise from the propane. Not sure about the smell.

[@dtollemache9441]

Which chassis brand and motor is most quiet to drive? The Ford?

[@Pagosa]

The MB is very quiet to drive. Can't imagine there is a difference.

[@dpfreeman1]

Great work. Thanks

[@Pagosa]

😃

[@smileyel-abd9984]

Brandon you neglected to mention that the taller Unity models makes for higher center of gravity and hence owners have reported beefing up shocks bump stops. You will never see a Wonder owner complain about any suspension issues. Lastly the Wonder rear wheel stance is wider plus the 178 versus 170 wheel base. And FWIW Washington DC to Key West and back at 16.9 mpg with 2WD gas Wonder.

[@Pagosa]

I’ve never felt the need to do anything about the suspension and a couple inches height prob isn’t going to make an 11,000 pound vehicle so much worse. I think many do suspension upgrades just cuz they read others have and aren’t used to driving a tall, unstable vehicle like a motor home. Now, I’ve never driven a Wonder, but that’s my takeaway. I assume we have the same experience. That’s great on the MPGs, same as the diesel in mine.

[@smileyel-abd9984]

@@Pagosa Next time we meet or next time you are at a LTV rally ask to drive a Wonder gas and feel these changes for yourself. I was lucky before I bought I rented a Sprinter Forest River RV for a week and that baby was a box on wheels with the taller height and shorter wheelbase. Can you get used to it sure can, but nothing like driving one and see for yourself. And I am sure the AWD is a better gripping drive but I was not willing to pay the gas hit for the extra weight and mechanicals. At days end AWD in an RV ain't like my Outback :)

[@daveclark3144]

We're confused. Because of your video, we just picked out the Wonder MBL and the corresponding Unity MBL. The Wonder was base priced at over $233K while the Unity base price was $193K. I thought the Wonders were (at least nominally) supposed to be the lower cost option.

If you used LTV website, it defaults to Canadian dollars. Make sure to toggle to USD. So you prob built wonder with CA and Unity with USD

[@Pagosa]

I think the first LTVs with the Ecoboost is 2021

[@claytynnorson1981]

So the Mercedes Unity is a 3500XD chassis which is tow rated for 7,500 lbs with a tongue weight rated for 750 lbs with a class 3 hitch and the Ford Transit dually is rated for 6,800 lbs with a tongue weight rated for 680 lbs with also a class 3 hitch which both RV’s have a class 3 hitch. What’s this 4,000 lbs estimate number from when manufacturing numbers don’t lie… 🤔

[@Pagosa]

The LTV uses a chassis configured with a 5000 lb tow rating and 500 tongue weight. It has a GVWR of 11,030 and GCVWR of 15,250, which is approx 4000 pounds that can be towed within the manufacturers limit. The new Ford chassis is about the same configuration. The old Ford chassis had a 2000 lb tow rating.

Excellent comparison video. Agree completely with avoiding diesel engines for the foreseeable future. Until our refineries dramatically exceed demand and the war in Ukraine ends, it's hard to see diesel prices declining. We bought our Winnebago Travato Class B 6 years ago, but I've always wanted an LTV. Sadly, we were priced out of the market when they topped $150K and went on up from there. Heck, I can't even afford a new Winnebago Class B now! MSPR has more than doubled in 6 years. Crazy. Still love looking at LTVs though. First stop for us whenever we go to the Tampa RV show!

[@davenehilla9610]

I ordered my Wonder RL in April of 2021 with an expected delivery of June-August of 2022. A few weeks ago I was told that my coach will arrive NEXT July. As in 2023. Almost 2 1/2 years later. This, despite the fact that Transit production has been nonstop for sometime now according to Ford Authority. I also see no shortage of Transits available in the Class B market and other Class C manufacturers. Meanwhile, the price has gone from 160k t0 190k. The LTV Wonder is rapidly losing any perceived extra value given the fact that it does not offer things such as ducted air on all models, quiet generator option, better battery/inverter capacity, heated tanks etc. than many competitors, including some very desirable Class B’s now available. And the Unity, as noted, is not much of a viable option given the state of diesel today. We are looking at Class B’s! I may never get to use the nice ceiling covers I bought from you Brandon!

[@MWILSON7]

I don’t think the advantage of gas is range but more of $$$ per mile. With their being a $1.50-$2.50 price difference between gas and diesel it has erased and MPG advantage that the Diesel engine had.

[@skibum1990]

MLWILSON7. The differential in mileage between the RVs seems to be at best 5 miles to the gallon advantage, so agree. Since I drive a diesel car and assume that the average MPG among all classes is about half of what I get, I think of if differently. The average MPG may be higher with more fuel efficient cars. I think of it is being around 25 mpg, though newer cars need to be 35 or above (may have been suspended under the last administration). In my calculation for my vehicle which is not a RV, diesel would have to approach twice as much as regular to make it not worth it. Also in the Northwest, the price differential is not as dramatic as in the south, am not sure why. Right now it is priced between mid-range and premium. Tends to be higher in the Northeast and New England because demand is competing with heating oil.

[@Pagosa]

The biggest thing with diesel for me now is the fact they are talking diesel shortages. Would not want to get stuck somewhere. The diesel Wonders did not have AWD as an option, just the newer gassers.

Not necessarily. That is a common misconception that you can take the Transit to any Ford dealer, but many will refuse to service.
