Leisure Travel Vans has reached a significant milestone in its history, with its parent company Triple E RV marking 60 years in the industry. The company is now focusing on innovation and quality, rather than trying to offer a wide range of products. By narrowing down its model lines to just two, Leisure Travel Vans aims to strengthen its quality, boost efficiency, and elevate its product design.
The company's approach is centered around the concept of less is more, with both models being in the Class C category but known as a Class B-plus. The Unity and Wonder models are approximately 25 feet in length, with the primary difference being the chassis used for each model. The Wonder is built on the Ford Transit, while the Unity is built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Leisure Travel Vans has introduced several new features to its models, including six different floorplan options on the Unity line and three on the Wonder. The company's vice president of sales and marketing, Mike Elias, notes that these new options will provide customers with more flexibility and choice when it comes to their motorhome.
The introduction of the Unity TBX model is particularly noteworthy, as it features a nonslide twin bed layout and a swivel lounge. This design allows for a unique seating arrangement that provides four front-facing seats with seat belts, making it ideal for families or groups who want to be able to move around easily.
One of the key benefits of the Unity TBX model is its ability to convert into a standard booth dinette setup when in camp mode. This feature is particularly useful for boondocking enthusiasts or adventure-seekers who enjoy going off-grid. The model also features a dedicated shower, which is a unique selling point compared to many other floorplans in this size layout.
The Tampa SuperShow in January resulted in robust reviews for Leisure Travel Vans' offerings, with customers praising the new models and their innovative features. The company's focus on quality, efficiency, and design has clearly resonated with its target market.
Leisure Travel Vans is targeting boondocking enthusiasts or adventure-seekers who want to explore off-grid. The model's larger water tanks, lithium battery power, and 3,000-watt inverter make it well-suited for this type of camping. The optional second alternator also helps charge up the batteries quickly while driving.
The company is also introducing several new exterior design options, including six new paint colors and a special Desert Shadow edition package. This package features warm, sandy tones and black accents, which are expected to appeal to younger buyers who want an adventure look.
Despite the challenges posed by an uncertain economy and tariffs, Leisure Travel Vans remains committed to innovation and quality. The company's strategy of developing products that strike a chord with customers will continue to be key to its success.
By focusing on quality, efficiency, and design, Leisure Travel Vans is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of its customers. With its simplified model lines and innovative features, the company is confident that it can continue to provide motorhomes that are both compact and capable in a wide range of settings.
