We have developed several upgrades to make owning one easier, safer and more off-grid capable. Lots of people ask about upgrades for their Xplore XR22. They are intended only as a brief overview of the vehicle, not a comprehensive critique, which would require a thorough inspection and/or test drive.Built to order, call or text for details. We receive no money or other financial benefits from these reviews. These RV reviews are written based on information provided by the manufacturers along with our writer’s own research. But you can do it in virtually any weather! Probably the biggest concern might be giving demonstrations of your toilet at $2/flush. And while others are worrying about their tanks freezing, that won’t be something you’d be concerned about. It would be a nifty place to watch wildlife and such – or just have the best view in the campground. In summaryįor those who want a trailer that can take dirt bikes or kayaks or snowmobiles to places and not suffer in the process, perhaps the Imperial XploreRV XR22 is one of the more aptly named rigs out there: Get out and “Xplore”!įor some reason, the idea of the (optional) rooftop tent really appeals to me. Between them, in the “V” of the nose, is the shower. The bathroom occupies the nose of the trailer with the sink on the road side and the toilet on the camp side. The refrigerator is a 12-volt compressor-based fridge. On the road side is the galley which has a long counter, sink and three-burner RV stove with a 17” oven. Well, 10 – if one of them is particularly curious about the toilet. So you could reasonably seat nine people in here. There’s also a bench on the camp side where three more people can sit. They can fold up against the wall if you bring in something like a snowmobile. Inside there is a crazy amount of seating with a couch on either side. Of course, that optional tent is insulated, too. There’s even an optional tent for the kids who want to be up there. That’s also different here, where there’s storage on the roof. Oh, and while lots of RV companies will tell you the roof is fully walkable, they don’t necessarily invite you to spend much time up there. The ladder onto the roof and all of the fittings have that post-apocalyptic rugged appearance, including the metal battery box. For example, there are two spare tires on the back. There are other things that really set the Imperial XploreRV XR22 apart. This is an optional feature, but certainly one that I’d recommend. Frankly, I think you’re going to see more and more of this/ It’s also being done in the Rockwood Geo Pro 19FBTH toy hauler. If you’re headed out to adventure, simply use the remote to raise the trailer up and now you have 10” additional ground clearance. The benefits of this type of thing is that you can lower the trailer when rambling down the highway so you have less wind resistance and a lower center of gravity, plus you’re less susceptible to side winds. Now that we’ve learned a lot about a necessary thing, let’s look at something outside, shall we? The XploreRV XR22 is available with a suspension system that can raise and lower the trailer by a full 10 inches. According to the company, once you’ve filled all the bags with, well, political promises, you can then simply dispose of the whole thing in a regular trash can. I don’t know about you, but this whole process fascinated me, so I watched a bunch of videos about it. The disadvantage is that I found the refills on Amazon for $99.95 – which means each time you flush it’s almost $2. So that means no black tank to dump and no black tank to freeze. The advantage of this type of system is that there is literally no black tank. The cartridges are sold in packages of three and there are 17 flushes in each cartridge. When you go and have completed your duty cycle, you push the button on the toilet and it seals off a section of the bag. Built by a company called Dry Flush, LLC, the Laveo™ is a dry flush toilet that contains all the things you’ve produced into a metallic bag. This trailer uses a dry flush toilet – which is an interesting contraption all on its own. When you look at the gray tank valve and fitting, above the frame, it’s higher than in a normal travel trailer.īut wait, you say. They put all the holding tanks above the frame of the trailer and completely sealed the bottom of the trailer with metal. Interestingly, they’ve done something I haven’t seen in a travel trailer thus far.
