This SOB will be in a 25’ 2019 Leisure Travel Van model FX on site 369, next to my buddy Gordon. I tell people I washed my 45’ Newell in hot water and shrunk to 25’. We are looking forward to seeing everyone, even though we have to depart 1 day early.
Safe Travels!

Good to hear from you Mike. When I look at the B plus rigs, the Leisure Travel is one of the best and well executed brands.

Forest, there is a good possibility of us being in Colorado next year. My wife is sad we are not there now for the aspens changing.

Richard, great to hear from you. I need to RE-engage with this site and check out your Alaska trip. I am sure it was incredible!
We have only had our LTV since Aug 8th, but impressed so far. We are out on our second trip, by the time we get home we will be out 2 months. So far so good in this tiny space. We have no tow and drive it everywhere so far, no problems. I suspect the Newell was excellent preparation for no fear driving this coach even in town and parking at restaurant’s, shopping centers, grocery stores etc. would it be fair to mention on this site they we get 16+ mpg?
Similar to Newell, LTV does have a mothership albeit in Winnipeg Canada. They also have dealers but I hope/plan to do most of my own service.
EDIT: full disclosure, all was well in the small coach until last night when we went to the campground laundromat. Not surprising, the “Newell” word came up ?

Mike,
We look forward to meeting you at the NRR. We spoke a few times when you were selling your rig.
