Hey there- I have a 2021 XV3 loaded with just about every option from Schutt plus additions/ upgrades:
- I replaced the Schutt battery management system with a RedArc Redvision system
-Added Anderson plugs for solar connectivity
-Added 12v outlets on outside of galley box for convenience at-camp.
-Heavy duty 20X60" slider in the bed (By Shuksan Vans) which held my ARB fridge plus cargo and saves your knees from climbing into the cargo area!
-Lightweight aluminum molle panels on the inside walls with additional cargo organization brackets and baskets.
-Hardwired ARB fridge connection from nose-box to rear cargo area, power switched by RedArc. Bullet-proof.
-T-channel rails mounted on fenders for gear tie down.
Some notes:
-I removed the water heater from the galley for a more 4-season functionality as the cheap propane heater Schutt supplies has thin tubes that easily crack in cold weather. The sink works well, just cold only and I never missed it once.
The Rhino rack is solid and an incredible piece of kit. The extrusions/grooves at the top are not strong enough to support a heavy 270 awning and one small section shows a bend in the top extrusion where stress was. Strength is not compromised, but about 4" stretch of groove would need to be reinforced. I was just going to plate over it. That said- the weakness occurred while cruising some washboard Baja roads. There is ample strength for a Rhino 270, but I was carrying an Ostrich Wing 270. (Also available if you are interested.- see below)
Other related gear available:
-Ostrich Wing Awning, like new. Was on this rig and is awesome. If I were to reconnect it to the trailer I would mount steel plates/gussets to the vertical rack supports to relieve stress on the Rhino rack. It is built like a tank, and heavy.
-Have a full set of Torklift steps that I was going to mount to the side to eliminate a ladder and make a more comfortable climb into the RTT. Never installed, new.
These trailers are ************. I traveled with it behind my 2-door Wrangler from NY to Baja and back, across highways and no-roads. The articulating hitch meant if the Jeep could go, the trailer could go. I would hitch this up today and go anywhere in the world.
I am outfitting a VW Bus now for a completely different style trip and would love to know this rig is on the road/trail somewhere.

Have more pics and can take specifics if you want.

@MajorNate Still looking for a Schutt Xventure? May have a ‘15 XV-2 that I’m willing to part with in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
Includes multiple Xventure (Schutt Industries) factory installed options: large lockable front storage box (will hold a large Dometic or other brand cooler), adjustable height rack, rear leveling jacks, hot/cold water system with 25 gallon tank, 10# propane tank, Goal Zero electrical system with extra backup battery all recharged through shore power ports, folding full length aluminum galley kitchen counter, sink faucet, shower head nozzle, etc.
Non Xventure options include: Jeep Gladiator wheels, new 35”x12.5” BF Goodrich All-Terrain radial tires, additional lighting (rock lights, rack lights, bed lights), Roam Vagabond XL tent with Annex room, Roam Side Awning.
Clear NC title in my name, so easily transferable to any state. Selling the XV-2 as I’m looking to shift to an ambulance camper setup.
Also have a matching white ‘20 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (w/35K miles & clean carfax) for sale soon too!
