Cut Throat Lifestyle

 

At least both parents eventually gain when they collect Social Security, if it’s still around. At least quick when compared to the diesel Sprinter. As mentioned above where we talked about AWD, the transit is quick off the stop. A Car and Driver review tested a Transit engine like ours doing 0 to 60 mpg in 6,8 seconds. This is also easier than ever thanks to new last-mile transport rental services, from companies like scooter maker Lime, which are available in many cities.

Other Transit LTV Wonder floor plans can tow 3,000 pounds. Those Wonder twin beds can easily be pushed together to make a Queen-sized bed, too. And this year, Leisure Travel Vans added 2,000-watt inverters to the Wonder and upgraded the batteries to AGM with a lithium option. We ordered ours with two 100 amp lithium batteries and a 2,000-watt Xantrex inverter, both installed at LTV factory. We chose the company's Sprinter-based Unity FX last year because of big upgrades made in 2019 to the Sprinter chassis, the automatic leveling system it had, and the easy way we could update it with Lithium and a larger inverter (the 2019 Unity came with just a 1,000-watt inverter.) Oh yeah, both front seats on the Sprinter swiveled around so they could be part of the motorhome interior.

RV build times on the 2019 chassis grew longer and longer. In 2020, Ford made major upgrades to the Transit chassis, as major as Mercedes Benz did in 2019 with the Unity. They had a doozy of a time getting them released by Mercedes Benz in a timely fashion. Then it came time for the 2020 Sprinters. All the others have been Sprinters. I saw no similar stock of Sprinters. A middle class lifestyle should include owning you own median-priced home. A middle class lifestyle includes vacationing several weeks a year. We spent a long time on Sunday's Ask Us Anything live stream on our RV Lifestyle Channel on YouTube talking about our new Wonder and even showing a video tour of the interior features. 

A middle class lifestyle includes general entertainment and nothing lavish. But Ford and its Transit is coming on very strong and I think will clearly be the main chassis alternative to the Sprinter for Class B and Class C RV manufacturers. I think the peppier acceleration makes up for the lower towing capacity. In other words, even if you buy a $1.5M median home and pay $20,000 a year in property tax, you are not guaranteed to have your kid get into the public school down the street. Plus, besides the insider's newsletter each Monday, you'll get lots of special perks and RV discounts.
