Time to get this thread going again or start a new one? Check out the new Xplore X195 just posted on their website. There are some great new double axle trailers coming out in 2023. Now we finally have choices on what we will be buying next. https://imperial-outdoors.com/x195/

Here we go again. Take a big trailer, lift it a little bit, add cool looking tires, dark colors, some diamond plate and, like magic, it's a new off road trailer. Notice how the marketing is focused on how cool the interior decorating is? An off road trailer company should draw your focus to...

The aluminum frame must be part of the reason. I've only seen independent trailing arm suspensions on steel frames. Weight shouldn't be the issue. There are many independent trailing are suspension trailers with higher GVWRs and ample CCC.

Now that I know you're listening, I'll suggest all kinds of mods for you!

Yep. BS really compromised their position in the US market in several ways.

Is anyone following this forum planning on visiting the Kingdom Camping booth at the Overland Expo in Loveland Aug 26-28 (Booth C93)? It would be helpful to get some feedback from someone who came face to face with owner(s) and the trailer.

This dual axle buyer sent them a request to try and go a little bigger!

FYI. We have a request into them asking if they would consider building a four wheel version of XT105. I would call it "The Xplore X22 Killer"

This is great forum topic. We've often thought about buying a less expensive, less capable trailer and going heavy with the modifications. You could buy two or three of these types of trailers for what it would cost to buy one of some of the super off road capable trailers. With the money saved...

Trailer warranties are of limited value. Individual components are covered by the individual manufacturers. If problems come up with components like frame/walls/roof/suspension, they often happen right after the warranty expires. We have had items fail under warranty an ended up not making a...

In case you didn't see my other comment, avoid Norcold like the plague.

He did reply that he is open to building a slightly larger four wheel model.

Sent them a message asking if they were considering building a four wheel version with a higher CCC. Until they more info. on their website, they look like a group of guys building custom order trailers on the side. I an't find any details about the company.

We had the same experience with Norcold. Buyer berware! They're customer service is particularly horrible. It looks like we stick to Dometic for now on the 12V side. Norcold and Furrion are definitely on our no go list forever. If a residential refridgerator could withstand the bouncing of...

Someone out there please answer this question: Has anyone used a 12V 10 cuft fridge that has been dependable for more than seven or eight years? We have gone both the absorption and the 12V path over the last 11 years of full time RV living. Our Dometic absorption 10 cu ft. lasted nine years...

Whoa, wait a minute. You buried the lede. So you can purchase a Dweller direct from manufacturer rather than going through a dealer? Dweller has just become a lot more interesting to me.

Dweller has definitely upped the game over Black Series. On a side note, when I first looked at BS, I thought "I need to upgrade those generic shocks". I saw on this forum that someone did exactly that with the Dweller as well. Considering the relatively low cost of upgrading shocks, and the...

The chassis is aluminum. They are definitely the most innovative all US-made trailer out there right now in terms of design, materials and manufacturing quality. We're not looking to rock crawl or do extreme overlanding like most of the people on the forum, but we do want a trailer capable for...

You're right about the varying degrees of "junk". I like to say that all trailers, no matter how much you pay, are basically crap. It's just that some of them smell better than others. Everyone needs to figure out for themselves how much stink they can deal with when buying a trailer.

I think they are going to a new pricing model where they offer a basic, no frills model for people who want to do their own build and then endless options for people to add as they want that could easily drive the price up to six figures (especially on the M22). They have some really innovation...
