Our goal for retirement had been to RV, when we discovered our love for boating the land cruising was put on hold. We cruised the coastal waters of Washington State and British Columbia. After selling our our boat, in two years, we put on over 120,000kms on our car traveling Canada, the Northern U.S.A from Coast to Coast. It was decided a motor home would be a nice compromise for our traveling and a lot more convenient than travelling by car.
Looking for the right motor home was like looking for the next boat; two foot-itis! We kept going up in size! We were contemplating Class A's up to 37' and had test drove a number of brands.....
Then we were introduced to Triple E Leisure Travel Vans (LTV) through searching the internet. We, like most LTV prospective owners, saw "The Dean Videos" at:
Luckily we were only 30 minutes from a LTV Dealership and were able to view, test drive and crawl all over a LTV U24MB. We loved it: quality, workmanship, style, design, layout, and all on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chassis that will take you down the highway getting 18 to 22 mpg (Canadian)!
We found the handling, maneuvering and drive-ability outstanding; the fuel economy from the Mercedes Sprinter was a huge bonus to an already outstanding product!
In January, 2014, we called 5 LTV Dealerships in Canada searching for the right dealer. We ordered our Unity from Traveland RV and had an excellent sales representative - Dan Kramarik! In our opinion, Dan was a very knowledgeable sales representative, and we found him very easy to deal with. Another huge benefit was their TravelandRV's competitive pricing and willingness to work with our specific needs and requirements.

LTV has a great website with a build your own Class B+ Motor Home!
The image to the right outlines how we have ordered our LTV! Our 2014 will be coming off the production line at the tail end of the production year. June 2014 starts the 2015 production line; Triple E's 50th Anniversary Editions will be built on the 2015 Mercedes Benz 3500 Sprinter chassis.
There are some improvements & upgrades to the 2015 LTV Unity! A few of these we would enjoy having on our Unity, but we would be waiting and as you know there is always something newer coming along! Plus we wanted on the road now!
Another nice touch is that Triple E ships their Leisure Travel Vans on a flatbed transport truck. When your new motor home arrives it has as close to zero miles/kms on the odometer!
