Good day!
We are looking at purchasing one of these units. Does anyone have an MDC trailer or can provide any feedback from use in the field?
Thank you in advance for your time and travel safe.

Cheers

I have seen them on the lot at PrincessCraft in Round Rock/Austin and it appears that they are still a dealer. They have a few with $15-22K discounts at the moment as well.

I went and looked at one of them 2+ years ago at a corporate store in SLC. They screamed Chinese made. However they have made huge improvements and are speced very well. The cost has gone up a bit as they have started using RV dealers. Good discounts for older models. 2025 models are a bit pricy plus I would imagine Tarrifs could put them even worse. I assume units shipped before today would not be effected by Tarrifs but who knows. Been following them for a while and it seems like they have great customer service. Folks have had issues with the BMPRO electronics.

I know your looking for an owner's opinion but all the FB groups are influenced by MDC and or thier dealers so it maybe a bias and not telling the whole story.

If you compare them to other Chinese made trailers sold in the US I would say they are top tier but a bit heavy. The 2025 models are just not that much cheaoer then other North American or AU manufacturerd off-road trailers. Are you looking at an 2023/24 XT16 or is it 2025 model? Are you considering anything else?

I thought they were made in Australia? you're saying MDC is made in China?

Yes they are and mostly always have been. They are very artful at giving the impression they are AU built as they are a AU company. Not even saying that's should be a deal killer unless your diametrically opposed to biying a Chinese made rig, it just bugs me that so many potential buyers think they are made in AU.

So assuming you want a similar build to the MDC XT16 which is 74k ish + potential Tarrifs

1. Kingdom Camping Caravan MX-16. Based on MSRP of 87.5 k it is a bit more but top of the line components including cruismaster suspension. Might be possible to down grade cruismaster suspension to get price down

2025 Lifestyle Campers Fusionn- 72k. It's a pop up. I believe one of there lines might be built in china but not sure. Xgrid in Vegas and TN is a dealer. They also carry Sky out of AU.

Pause Reboot 17.4 89k msrp. Assume you could get them down.

Kimberly and Bruder s are awesome but way more money.

Some smaller rigs are:

Arkto G12
Boreas eos12
Bean Squared
Atlas Teton x
