    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    Same with my R1. It doesn't leak and it super easy to use.

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    The problem with your logic is nobody thinks they are going to have warantee problems and everybody wants the lowest price. One dealer may spend two days on a pre-delivery inspection to make sure everything is right, at their own cost, and the next may deliberately send out a trailer with no...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    On the Xplore Trailer Community Facebook page, I deliberately discourage posting prices, other than the advertised manufacturer pricing. This is because as soon as somebody posts a low ball price, everyone will take that to their dealer and demand they beat it. It is a race to the bottom that...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    The Xplore suspension is interesting and I agree that hydraulics are very reliable in general. The hydraulic pump and reservoir system is the same as used on dump trailers. Mine worked flawlessly and I used it often. To understand how it works, visualize a torsion axle system. This has...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    Plus the equipment list is impressive: Cruisemaster ATX air suspension with disk brakes and high end shocks, parking brake, Isotherm compressor fridge with dual controls, Truma water heating and ducted space heating, 12 volt AC, three separate solar systems with 1240 watts total. (3) 360 AH...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    If someone is looking for a way to lower the price of the trailer a small percentage, I'm not sure taking away 1/3 of the battery bank is a logical step. Basing all use patterns and all trailer designs on one overriding rule of thumb, doesn't make sense to me. These trailers are designed to...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    Have you added up all the differences in the new trailers, the 145,195 and R1, to come to the conclusion that they are "over priced"? They are not competing on price, they are competing on capability, quality, and innovative design. So far, Imperial can't build them fast enough to keep up...

    Imperial Outdoors Xplore XR22

    This is not the first XR22 this has happened to. Apparently Imperial just ran the screws into the paneling and did not use proper screws into the aluminum skeleton. It's one more careless point about Imperial while building the X/XR trailers. Either the workers were unqualified or poorly...

    Wow. But I wish it had internal sensors like my truck has, so I could easily adjust the pressure.

    New High Altitude Dual Axle Model for ROA?

    Yeah, it's pretty hard to get the stove much lower on a high ground clearance trailer. I don't know what that has to do with single axle vs tandem. The griddle on the R1 is about 45" from the ground and was partially dictated by the pass through opening already on the trailer. By the way, I...

    New Roamer1

    I agree with most of your comments. And the discussion is fun. The X195/R1 body is less than 85" wide, and the outside of the tires are at about 88". The steel fenders stick out three inches on each side from the body, for a total of 91". This means visibility is not impaired and the tires can...

    New Roamer1

    I agree that a lot of the luxury features are not on my must have list. Bluetooth leveling, fully arranged silverware organizer, 32" TV, engraved plates, etc. But the outdoor kitchen, unique to the R1 is a really nice option. It is very well made with a Blackstone Grill and custom designed to...

    New High Altitude Dual Axle Model for ROA?

    We've gone across the country three times in the last few years and I love to camp in both good weather and bad. I don't plan my nightly stops along the way, but prefer to go until I see something interesting, or get tired. There is zero setup with these kinds of trailers and I can spend a...

    Here are a couple pix: Starting up the Stair Steps at Seven Mile Ridge at Moab, and on the Sonora Pass heading up to Leavitt Lake in the rain.

    New High Altitude Dual Axle Model for ROA?

    There are compromises, but once you get to a size trailer larger than a pop-up style Jeep trailer, which is best with a single axle, and move on to a larger unit with more interior room and one better for traveling, the added weight of tandem axles is a small percentage of the overall weight...

    New High Altitude Dual Axle Model for ROA?

    Tandem axles have a nice advantage on trailers, and trailers don't really have to be heavy enough to benefit from them. Tandem axle trailers "want" to go straight on the highway, they "step over" ruts and bumps better than single axle trailers, they have a better departure angle and can carry...

    I would really like to know who told you that. Who was it?

    New Roamer1

    I'm gonna wait on the positive pressure setup to see if it is needed. The main door and the storage doors are all sealed better than on the X22. I wasn't sure about the gray at first, but I really like it now. It's been snowing and blowing here, so I'm waiting till the weather clears a bit...
