2007 LTV Serenity

It looks like we have come to the end of an era. I had SO hoped to visit the factory before they stopped producing the Serenity. You can still visit their page for the Serenity , but on their main page under Models they only list the Unity and the Wonder.  

2020 Serenity

I knew Serenity was being decommissioned as I was getting serious and ready to purchase mine. Having said this, I am not sure if by being a very recent Serenity owner is a good thing or not! I guess time will tell. All I can say is that its been a long time coming and for now I am just going to make the best of it.  

Steve Zoller

There are “people” who claim to know the inside scoop and say there will be a new model and some claim to know there won’t be. I suspect different people inside LTV have leaked different speculation before a final decision had been made.  

2018 Serenity

When I took a factory tour summer of 2019, I was told the molds are designed to last for a specific period of time (5 years I think) and that the Serenity molds were nearing the end of their life span. LTV was planning on temporarily stopping Serenity production while they updated the body styling and recasting of the molds.  

2016 LTV Serenity

Any update from the rumor mill? My personal speculation is that Serenity just got too expensive to build and overshot their target price segment. The new Wonder appears to be more inexpensively made, yet "starts at only $120k". Yikes! That means a new Serenity (if such a thing were to be built) would be well over $200k. I love mine, but no way would I pay anything like that.  

ssalaria said: I have a feeling... just my feeling.... LTV might try to compete with the price point of Airstream ATLAS. When I purchased Serenity I did look and consider Atlas. Of course it was more expensive. Reading reviews of Atlas, they are similar in issues, etc. but I really wanted the curve look of the Serenity. To me its very cool... Now they probably do use more soundproofing and have additional upgrades that are standard vs. you pay more and upgrade the Serenity after the fact. Talking to some folks the reason I was given time and time again for Serenity being more expensive than Unity was that once they attach the fiberglass mold to the chassis, everything in the Serenity has to come in through the coach door hence more labor intensive. I guess the process is different for Unity, perhaps the mold is not one piece.... I don't know. BUT I can see LTV reintroducing and raising the price of Serenity, perhaps adding a slide, better shocks, stabilizers, standard Lithium, some additional bells and whistles and walla, you have a 200+k coach, and they know there is a market for it and it would be a direct competition with Airstream Atlas. I had to edit the post and ask you all about your view of Atlas? Just curious. Save this post - I can see the future. hah. Click to expand...

Small RV Life

How a Small RV Turns Life into One Big Adventure

2012 Serenity is a Sleek Sprinter RV by Leisure Travel Vans

2012 Serenity Exterior

My immediate impression of the 2012 Serenity by Leisure Travel Vans was that it looked similar to a modern “shuttle” type vehicle and would be great for stealth-mode…if that’s important to you. Mostly I noticed that it had that hard to define high-end look, even from afar. The lines are clean and sleek and right away it’s apparent that a talented design team spent their time to develop the Serenity.

The inside was a surprise of modern touches and attention to detail. There’s an impressive amount of storage space within the attractive curved wood cabinetry. And even the efficient LED lights are thoughtfully dressed up along the ceiling in a series of curvy flowing panels. The flooring is an easy to clean “wood look vinyl” that is gorgeous, and the name does not do it justice.

Leisure Travel Vans calls this a wide-body Class B, or B+, motorhome. There is no cabover area and no slides in the Serenity. The width of the motorhome is 8 feet so this makes it feel more roomy than you might imagine given there is no slide-out. For comparison, this is 6 inches wider than the Winnebago View/Navion.

There’s plenty of natural light inside due to window and skylight placements, but I’m less sure about how optimized the placements are for viewing the outdoors while seated. Best to spend some time siting in this small RV, just like you would during your normal adventures to determine for yourself. While you’re spending time in the front dinette area, check out how the table slides around to serve your needs.

Sprinter RV Chassis

The 2012 Serenity S24CB is built on the Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500 Cab BlueTEC turbo diesel 188 hp engine with 5 speed automatic transmission. Leisure Travel Vans estimates MPG at 17, which seems reasonable especially if you tend to travel at lower than interstate highway speeds.

2012 Libero Gas Model

The Serenity (diesel) and Libero (gas) share the same floorplan, but are based on different chassis. While the Serenity uses the Sprinter chassis, the Libero is based on the Chevrolet 3500 Express Cutaway 6.0 Liter Vortec gas engine with 6 speed automatic transmission. Other differences due the chassis configuration are presented in the table:

2012 Serenity and Libero Differences

Highlights of the 2012 Serenity Class B Motorhome

Floorplan of the 2012 Serenity

• 2-year Coachnet Warrantee covering towing, flat tire, mobile mechanic, lock-out services, etc.

Exterior Highlights

• All fiberglass construction
• Full Canadian insulation (at least that’s what I think of vehicles made for Canada’s weather) using the highest density Styrofoam SM (Blue) on the market. The flooring is actually 2“ thick with the Styrofoam sandwiched between two 1/2” thick pieces of plywood
• Height is under 10’ thanks to a recessed air conditioner
• Silver full body paint with clear coat and minimal graphics for a “European” style
• Optional side turn cameras on both sides to see blind spots
• Frameless glass

Passenger side:

• Power awning
• Sliding screen on entry door
• 2 storage compartments with aluminum watertight doors that fold down for easy access (I do wonder if doors get in the way, or if doors will be used as a “shelf” and subject to breakage)
• Compartment that makes use of a long slender empty space

Driver’s Side Service Compartments:

• shore power is detachable and while some may wonder if they’re vulnerable to thieves and pranksters, they may not be sleeping in the best of areas to have those worries,
• optional Onan propane or diesel generator,

Service Compartment (click to enlarge)

• water fill,
• exterior shower,
• propane fill,
• black water flush,
• propane on-off,
• satellite connection,
• gray water tank,
• optional macerator pump

Interior Highlights

• Ultraleather seats in 3 colors that swivel
• In dash radio,CD/DVD player, GPS, rear (and optional side-turn) camera monitor
• Privacy drapes track around to block windows

Coach Area – Front

• Interior height is 6’3” which may be limiting to many some
• Ducted air vents (not just air blowing directly from A/C)
• Interior LED lights
• Solid wood curved cabinetry in either cherry or maple with positive locking upper cabinets
• Front dining area seats 6 and table slides for easy access
• Front ultraleather dinette makes into a double bed, though blocks entry way somewhat
• Large skylight above dining/kitchen area
• Corian countertops include a covered recessed garbage can in kitchen counter
• Sink and stove are recessed and covered when not in use to provide large flat surface area in kitchen
• Spice rack above stove
• Great use of storage with plenty of cabinets, drawers, and pull-out pantry racks and treys, secondary wardrobe by door (AKA “his”)

Coach Area – Rear

• Privacy shade curtain pulls out to block rear bed, bath, and wardrobe area
• Optional ultraleather electric convertible sofa instead of bed creates second sitting area
• 22” TV in rear swivels out for kitchen and dinette viewing
• Large wardrobe closet and drawers (AKA “hers”)
• Bathroom includes china toilet, recessed medicine cabinet, and a separate narrow shower

Serenity’s Market

The high quality craftsmanship is reflected in the base MSRP of $128,245, and from what I can see, these hold their resale value pretty well. The Serenity is ideal for down-sizers of high-end Class A motorhomes who appreciate the all wood construction, ample storage, and the power of diesel, but are ready for the conveniences offered from a smaller RV. The Sprinter chassis is easy to drive and is perfect for adventure.

The floorplan is also suitable for mobile office needs where an occasional meeting within the RV is required. Whether choosing the floorplan with the standard bed, or the optional sofa, the rear bedroom and bath area can be closed off with the privacy curtain.

Spend Time in One

When looking at a Serenity in person, pay attention to the dinette seating to see if this suits your travel style. Do you like the daytime views, and will the TV work for your needs. Is the shower usable and are you able to reach what you need to while the shower door is closed?

Take a look at the excellent video by Leisure Travel Vans to get a closer look for now:

Please give us a call at the factory to answer your questions. We do have a few dealers who rent out our products. We can also point you in the right direction as to where to see a Serenity near you. 1-877-992-9906. Thanks!

I loved the video and the class B. This covers my needs. By the same token I would like to rent one , before I buy. Where could I rent this particular RV please ?

Regards, Neil

Helpful pictures and video, but where can I see one in person? Thanks.

Thanks for your question. Here’s a direct link to their dealer locator . You can also ask the closest dealer, or the manufacturer, about upcoming RV Shows to see if that’s more convenient for you.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

• Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
• Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
• How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
• What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
• What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
• What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.
