2026 Class C comparison · side-by-side specs, verdict, and who each is best for.
Quick verdict
Both Class C Sprinters target solo or couples touring, with the Leisure Travel Vans Unity Murphy Bed Lounge and the Winnebago Vita 24F sharing the same 11,030 lb GVWR chassis. The Unity Murphy Bed Lounge runs 25.08 ft with a single slide, manual Murphy bed, theater seating with dual power recliners, 270Ah lithium, 3,000W inverter, and a Truma Aventa Eco heat pump at $225,300. The Vita 24F measures 24.42 ft, no slides, walkaround queen, and a 3.0L 6-cyl turbo-diesel (older engine spec than the Unity's 2.0L) at $199,181.
The Vita 24F's engine is itemized as the older 3.0L Sprinter diesel rather than the current 2.0L; verify this with the dealer as it could be a spec sheet error or genuine older powertrain. The Unity Murphy Bed Lounge wins on electrical (lithium + 3000W inverter), four-season build, residential fridge, and theater seating. The Vita 24F counters with $26,119 in savings, slide-free walls, and full bath rather than wet bath.
Verdict in the Class C market: pick the Leisure Travel Vans Unity Murphy Bed Lounge for premium content and lithium boondocking; pick the Winnebago Vita 24F for the lowest Sprinter Class C entry.

Frequently asked
Is the Vita 24F really still using the 3.0L diesel?
The spec sheet lists 3.0L 188-hp, an older Sprinter engine. Mercedes has been transitioning to the 2.0L 4-cylinder. Confirm with your dealer; you may receive a 2.0L unit despite older spec listings.
How long is the Murphy bed conversion?
5-10 minutes morning and evening. Couples who use the lounge for dining and TV during the day appreciate the conversion; families with kids may prefer the Vita 24F's fixed queen.
Which has more usable boondock capacity?
The Unity Murphy Bed Lounge. Its 270Ah lithium delivers ~2,700 usable Wh vs the Vita 24F's unspecified standard battery (likely AGM around 100Ah / 600 Wh).
