2021 Living Vehicle reviews

I have lived and traveled full time in a Living Vehicle for over a year, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Before I had an LV, I lived full time for a year in a brand new 30ft class A, and I was constantly having problems with it. Everything from the slide breaking multiple times to water entering the unit when it rained. I felt like I was driving a paper mache sculpture on top of a chassis. The LV is so much more robust, and is built to better standards. Have I had problems with the LV? Yes, but they have been very minor, especially considering I have towed it for about 12,000 miles around the country. I have only had to take it to a shop once, and that was for an oven issue, which was not Living Vehicles fault. Speaking of problems, this is where Living Vehicle shines above their competitors. The customer service is second to none. You get a dedicated representative to help you with any problems you might have along the way (thanks Rob!). They will help you with any issues, and if they can’t solve it, they will find an expert, who can. They even flew someone out to where I was camping to help solve an issue one time. Enough about problems. My favorite part of the LV is the layout. The Living Vehicle team has really done an amazing job of maximizing the space. My previous class A had a super slide, and it feels like the LV has more space even though it doesn’t have slide outs. The living room area is very comfortable and gives you the option of having a table or easily converting it to a lounging area or bed. The kitchen layout is great with plenty of storage, and being able to move the island around really gives you lots of options to maximize the space even more. My favorite part of the kitchen is probably the dishwasher especially since I was the dedicated dishwasher in my previous RV. The bathroom is amazing, and is true luxury for an RV. I am 6’2”and actually fit and have elbow room in the shower. In my class A, I could barely turn around in the shower, and was constantly hitting my elbows on the walls and ceiling. The bedroom is super comfortable with tons of natural light from the windows and skylight. It has a good amount of storage from the full size closet, lots of drawers, and the under bed storage. Also, I really enjoy having the washer dryer combo. No more hauling clothes to the laundromat and trying to find quarters. The LV really feels more like living in a modern studio apartment than an RV. It is very bright and light compared to the usual drab browns and tans of a traditional RV. The outside of the LV probably has my favorite design feature which is the drop down porch. The sliding door really opens up the space on the inside, and gives easy access to the outside area essentially creating another living space. It also creates a “fenced in” area for the dog to hangout outside. The outside storage is plentiful with large pass through compartments, and the outdoor shower is a must for washing the dog, feet, and other dirty things you don’t want to take inside. I have not used the solar power to it’s full potential, but it is super nice to have. Especially, when you are in the western states with lots of sun, and great for overnight stops because you don’t have to hook up. The solar power probably comes with the biggest con that I see with the LV, which is the weight it adds. The LV is very heavy, and I have been reluctant to take it very far off grid because of this. Once you add the water you might need, it becomes even heavier, so I feel the weight is the main drawback. That might just be me being too cautious, and maybe the F-350 can actually handle it. In closing, you can’t go wrong with a Living Vehicle. The quality and customer service are outstanding. One last thing I will mention, which could be a pro or con depending on your disposition, is that you will have to talk to almost everyone in any RV park you go to because everyone wants to know what it is. Come to think of it maybe I will try getting further off grid! Show less
