He’s basically a broker or sales rep for outside the United States RVs. Yes, if you watched as many RV channels outside of the United States, they build a better product and this would be common place in Australia, but because it comes to America, it has a different flare to it and with that flair comes the price. Not many people are really going to be using it like that I don’t think unless you’re into death Valley other parts of Arizona maybe New Hampshire who knows but Even if you have the resources to purchase this a question look at how many times you’re going to use it in one calendar year you might be paying much more than it’s worth, but I’m not hating though we only got one shot at this life may as well enjoy

I really enjoy reading all the comments and diverse opinions. They hit on a lot of different bases, which enforces why there are so many different RV manufacturers and dealers. I am really impressed with this trailer. The innovations, layout and technology upgrades is impressive. I see a lot of people gasping over the price, which is expensive, but appears to be inline with the build. Can you buy a less expensive knock off or imitation? And, still have a great time? Absolutely, but the old saying still holds true that you get what you pay for. You don't buy an RV for an investment, you buy it, because you want it and you want to enjoy getting outdoors and seeing the world. Your financial situation and age have a lot to do with how much you spend or what you find acceptable. I'm almost 70, and whether this rig is $50K or $150K, it's really not that big a deal at this stage of my life. You buy what you want and can afford at the time. The important thing is to get out there! Although I really like this rig, it's not for me. I currently am on my 4th trailer, a Momentum toy hauler pulled with a Ford F250, 6" lift and 37" tires. My wife and our 3 dogs can get in some remote places, but not exactly off road, off grid like this Xplore X145....and that's ok. We still enjoy getting out there and the anticipation of the next trip. See you on the road. Don from Florida.

I have a 2021 Ford Bronco badlands with the sasquatch package. Just so everybody understands. That's 470 gears, 35 inch tires, and the hoss high-speed operate suspension system. My Bronco could pull that trailer anywhere I wanted it to go. And without the Bronco, that trailer's doing exactly what it's doing right here, sittin

I'm really glad to see someone talking about the rig and knowing what they're talking about.

Wow....on all fronts! Here I live just a few minutes away from the ROA facility in Utah and had no idea they had these types of trailers and their capabilities....Wow!

The Dometic 12v AC looks so modern as does the rest of the interior. I wish the trailer was a bit wider and longer. The X195 is closer to the right length but the width is the same, I think. Overall, the livability is top notch. Beautiful construction and the off-grid capabilities are unmatched.

Folks, this man is selling the real deal from Australia. The price goes up because it’s exotic, but it looks well-built better than anything we have in America. Nobody even comes close in my opinion as far as build quality, we build things with planned obsolescence in mind that thing is built to pass down generation, wise little pricey, But it seems like it would be a good escape from society for a little unwinding

If this was say, 4 feet longer (full queen north south bed ) and put on a flat deck so can haul my machine, it would be awesome. Really nice layout inside.

$125,000 usd x 1.38 = $172,500 Canadian! I have a 2017 R-Pod, I built a subframe and off-road suspension on it. Th trailer has true rock sliders and skid plates and 33” tires. I have had it dragging over rocks with the wheels off the ground and not been hung up. It has 525 watts solar and 12V 400 ah lithium set up with a 3500 watt inverter. I might have $35,000 CAD in the trailer (too much) and it’s taken 5 years of beatings and still is in near perfect shape. I have a step stool to get to the step on the trailer. 😂. Since I’m not going on arctic expeditions, I can get by with the lesser insulation the trailer has. 2 tanks fir 40 lbs propane, not as much water of course and can’t use it in freezing temps. I have camped and kept the trailer above freezing in temps as low as -20C or 5 below F. Just using a -10C sleeping bag partly open. It was about 10C in the trailer at it’s coldest. 3 days on 2 40 lb tanks. I just can’t see spending these amounts of $$ for a “couple’s trailer” The Rpod sleeps 3 guys or 4 people if there’s a couple. It has 2 bunks. I did convert the A/C to a 12 volt unit.

Hmmm…it’s very nice. If you like the airstream look, and this is your budget zone, I’d recommend Bowlus for off-grid builds.

Having a back up heater is a good idea so i would leave the factory propane heater system in place, I would add a diesel heater to the rig for sure right away... You can buy the Chinese diesel heaters for under 300 bucks.. you already have 12 volt DC on boat sop.. yeah.. that is a must... In my opinion.

Each panel has it's own rack... each rack has two rails that are double sided 3M taped... I put them on three years ago and it is as strong and tight and steady today as it was the day i mounted them.. so... Oh and I ran my cables to a top mounted water tight... grommeted two wire pass through... Not a drop of water has ever gotten through, also used the double sided 3M.. and a clear over coat of silicon.. at the twist ... ends.. threads. Yes my panels sit about 4 inches above the roof... surface... I can easily clean under them.. I have had zero issues.. with any of the installation...

Those batteries are storing 13kw of energy. That’s a crazy amount for a trailer. More solar would be good to try and recharge the batteries when off grid. Minimum of 3500w total. The Solar is the weak link, even though it’s great for a trailer. It also depends on what the solar controller can handle.

@MrOffshore

Жыл бұрын

Excellent points. For a trailer to really handle off-grid extended trips, solar is key and most people don’t realize how solar NEVER delivers what they are rated to deliver…then add cloudy days, sun position/distance at different times of the year/day and you find out how quickly you really need to be overkill on your panels and controller. If you plug a portable solar panel into the SAE quick connect on the side, and that panel has its own controller there’s a good chance it will “fight” with the onboard controller. In a system l, I’ve always been told you need one controller only.

Hahaha you can keep it!!!

You would have to get into some SERIOUSLY cold weather for the batteries to have any issues. The trailer is well insulated and I’d bet even without power, the interior would not drop close to the exterior temperature. Heated batteries don’t help unless you have a way to power the heaters…it’s a catch 22…a small AGM battery would fix the issue to either power a heater, or power a fan on a furnace (not sure the power draw on a Truma). I would imagine temps would need to extended below -15 degrees F to affect the batteries “inside” the well insulated trailer. A small generator will negate all the potential issues as well long enough to heat the interior.

How about a small, one person camper with an inside shower, toilet and kitchen? All of the smaller campers sleep two to four people but leave no choice but to cook/shower outside. Not everyone wants to stand outside fixing breakfast at 6am with the dirt blowing in their biscuits or freezing their cojones off taking a shower then go inside and plop down on a queen size bed.
