Expo,
Assisting friend with sale... Asking $9500 OBO
Up for sale is a 2014 Schutt Industries XVENTURE XV-2 overland/expedition trailer I recently acquired as part of a package deal with my current rig. Having had the opportunity to tow it around town several times, I fully understand why people love these particular units as it handles excellent, tracks true, and is barely noticeable behind my LR3. Unfortunately, family and work life will prevent me from putting it to good use and we are not in a position to store it in the meantime. At the time of my purchase I had several questions related to the XV-2 package and associated accessories so I contacted Schutt Industries directly and provided them with all of the relevant information. Per their current XVENTURE line representative, the unit is an early 2014 XV-2 base model, which means that the now standard full-width tongue storage box, electrical control center, and Line-X (fenders and tub) were not part of the as-purchased configuration. It does have the telescoping rack system, fully articulating hitch assembly, internally routed electrical wiring package, LED reverse/area lighting, electric brakes, and has been outfitted with 5x120 hubs, LR3 Rims, and Cooper AT3 tires in XX/XXrXX.
While I am certainly not an expert regarding expedition-ready trailers, I have performed a thorough inspection of all components and the issues I’ve noted are as follows:
- Previous owner (presumably) clipped a rock or other object, resulting in minor damage to the rear corner of the rack, the rear fender corner, as well as breaking one of the LED side marker lights. The damage does not appear to be structurally significant but did result is some gouges in the aluminum as well as loss of powder-coating.
- The tub, fenders, and general exterior show signs of responsible use but this unit was definitely not a garage queen. None of the observed scuffs, scrapes, or scratches are structurally relevant and the aluminum body and Alcoa Huck-bolt construction make both fatigue and rust non-issues.
- Some of the powder-coating applied to the tongue-box has delaminated and is peeling. In my experience, this is likely due to inadequate surface prep, however it has no impact on performance or longevity.
Included with my original purchase were an ARB Simpson rooftop tent, annex, and retractable awning, all of which will require some degree of cleaning and deodorization due to prolonged storage. This was a point of contention at the time I took delivery of the overall package so I want to be as transparent as possible in regards to their condition and the effort/expense expected to get them into camp-ready condition. Inclusion of the ARB components in a potential purchase would be contingent upon a buyer-inspection and on an as-is basis. The proposed asking price of $9500(USD) excludes these items.
For additional information related to the technical specifications or model-specific attributes of this unit, I would suggest referencing the Schutt Industries website at the link below. For questions regarding the condition or other aspects of this particular unit, shoot me an email at antonsdsu@yahoo.com and I will do my best to provide whatever additional information and/or photos you need.
