Comparing Noovo and Leisure Travel Vans is one of the most useful exercises a Class B shopper can do, because the two brands answer the same dream in different shapes and configurations. The Unity rides a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 dual-rear-wheel cab chassis with five floor plans, per the official Unity specifications, while Noovo builds inside a true van body offering three floor plans.
The honest framing: this is coach versus van. The Unity gives you residential width and furniture at camp. A Noovo gives you a home that can still park downtown, use for daily drives, and slip into national park loops without a second thought.
Both are beautifully built, and both have devoted owners. This comparison walks through specs, living space, buying, and ownership so you can decide which shape fits your travels. We build one side of it but will highlight the best aspects of both.
In one paragraph: pick the Leisure Travel Vans Unity if your trips center on the destination, you want the widest, most residential interior in the small-motorhome world, and having a dealer nearby matters. Pick Noovo if the driving is part of the living, you want standing height and sleeping for a family inside a true van, and you value big standard lithium power over a generator.
Where the Unity wins: interior width, a residential rear bathroom with a radius shower and skylight, power-reclining lounge furniture, and Corian-topped kitchen space that feels like a small condo.
Where Noovo wins: footprint and freedom, 7 feet of standing height in the Plus, sleeping for up to 4, more than double the standard lithium capacity, direct pricing, and service that comes to you anywhere in the country.
Where they tie: craftsmanship and pride. Leisure Travel's vacuum-bonded coach construction and finish work are rightly admired, and Noovo's handcrafted cabinetry and design-first interiors earn the same devotion. Neither buyer settles.

The battery row deserves a second look, because it reveals two philosophies. The Unity pairs its 270Ah pack with a 3,000W inverter and an auto-start generator; dealers note the air conditioner can run roughly 4 to 10 hours on charged batteries before something refills them. Noovo sizes the lithium bank at 660Ah precisely so the generator never joins the trip at all.
The Noovo Plus undercuts a comparable Unity by roughly $40,000 to $70,000, while the AWD Noovo Next lands near the Unity's starting point. The Unity's premium buys the coach body itself, wider furniture, and the generator system. Noovo's pricing reflects direct sales and spends the budget on battery capacity, interior height, and build detail instead.
Neither approach is wrong. They are different bets on where your money should live: square footage at camp, or capability everywhere else.
The Unity's cab-chassis construction lets Leisure Travel build a coach body wider than any van shell. That width buys a residential rear bathroom, a Murphy bed or twin-bed layouts, power-reclining Leisure Lounge seating, and solid-surface counters. At a campsite with the wheels parked, it is a genuinely lovely small condo.
Noovo spends its inches differently. The Noovo Plus keeps the true van body and carves a full 7 feet of standing height out of it, with a 12V elevator bed that lifts away by day over a lounge that converts to a queen. A private full bathroom, radiant floor heating, and an open kitchen complete a home that sleeps up to 4 yet never stops being a van.
The Unity's signature Murphy bed folds against the wall each morning, or extends via slide-out, and returns the lounge to daytime duty. It is an elegant solution for two travelers, and the twin-bed and corner-bed plans serve couples with different sleep habits. Most Unity floor plans sleep 2.
Noovo's answer is vertical. In the Plus, a 12V elevator bed descends from the ceiling over the converted queen lounge, so a family of four sleeps in two zones without anyone unfolding furniture at midnight. The Noovo Next keeps a convertible bed for up to 3, aimed at adventurous couples with a guest or a grandchild along.
Bathrooms tell the same story two ways. The Unity devotes real square footage to a residential rear bath with a radius shower and a skylight overhead. The Plus fits a genuinely private full bathroom inside a van body, which owners with kids describe as the feature that ended roadside emergencies forever.
It depends who you ask, and that is not a criticism. Leisure Travel Vans itself files the Unity under Class C, while dealers commonly list it as a Class B+, the industry's term for a Sprinter cab wearing a built coach body. Noovo models are true Class B: the home lives entirely inside the original van shell.
How each brand sells and supports its homes may shape your experience more than any floor plan. Four differences stand out:
Owner voices tell this story better than spec sheets. You can read what the community says on our owner reviews page, and Leisure Travel's forums are equally full of people who adore their coaches. Both brands have earned their loyalty.
A little context explains the difference in philosophy. Noovo was founded by two French entrepreneurs who converted a school bus and traveled 16 countries with more than 50 friends along the way. The lesson they brought to Las Vegas: a good van is not a vehicle with a bed in it, it is a home that happens to move. Everything we build starts there.

The happiest owners on both sides chose the shape that matched their travel, not the badge. Retired couples who park for a month love their Unitys. Families, remote workers, and daily-drivers gravitate to the van.

We will tell you honestly, even when the answer is a coach.
