Imperial Outdoors XploreRV X195: A Comprehensive Guide

Intro

Imperial Outdoors, a renowned off-road trailer company, has been in the business for 14 years. Initially starting with ice houses in Wisconsin, the company has leveraged its experience with extreme cold weather to create robust and reliable trailers. In this article, we will Xplore (see what I did there?) the features and capabilities of their 26-foot XploreRV X195 a second-generation off-road trailer designed for overland travelers.

Design and Construction

The XploreRV X195 stands out with its Cruise Master suspension system, specifically the ATX air ride airbag suspension. This adjustable system, controlled by a key fob, ensures a smooth ride across various terrains. The X195 trailer weighs 5,500 pounds but can carry an additional 4,000 pounds of gear.

Frame and Structure

The RV’s frame is constructed with a 4-inch perimeter steel box section and a 6-inch twin rail system down the middle. This robust design allows the trailer to be recovered even if both the tow vehicle and trailer are buried. The CNC-machined laminated sidewalls keep the weight down while maintaining durability.

Exterior Features

The XploreRV X195 includes an exterior kitchen with a propane stove and sink (this is an option), offering the flexibility to cook outside. The front storage box houses two 20-pound propane tanks and provides additional storage space. The trailer’s roof rack system allows for the attachment of solar panels with minimal roof penetrations, enhancing durability and efficiency. Our dealership always makes sure to equip each X195 with the Stage 3 solar option – which adds 1240 watts of solar!

Innovative Suspension and Hitch Systems

The Xplore RV is equipped with the DO45 hitch, a 360-degree swivel hitch that enhances safety during off-road use. The suspension system, combined with the heavy-duty frame, ensures that the trailer can handle rough terrains without compromising on stability.

Solar Power and Energy Efficiency

One of the standout features of the Xplore RV is its extensive solar power setup. With 1,240 watts (Stage 3 option) of solar power and 1,080 amp hours of lithium batteries (Stage 3 option), the RV is designed to be self-sufficient. The roof rack system allows for efficient solar panel installation, reducing the need for multiple roof penetrations.

Interior Comfort and Amenities

Bathroom and Sleeping Arrangements

The RV features a full walk-in shower with 6.4 inches of clearance and a Lavio dry flush toilet, which uses a bag system similar to a Diaper Genie, eliminating the need for a black tank. The dinette area can be converted into a bed, accommodating additional sleepers. The RV also includes a larger RV king bed (new option!) with ample storage underneath.

Climate Control

The Xplore RV is equipped with dual-pane acrylic windows that are nitrogen-charged to reduce heat and cold transfer. The 12-volt Dometic air conditioner and Truma Combi furnace ensure optimal climate control, providing heating and hot water using gas and electric sources.

Advanced Kitchen and Refrigeration

The interior kitchen features an induction stove, offering efficiency and safety by eliminating heat loss and fumes. The Isotherm refrigerator and freezer, commonly found on luxury yachts, operates at a 45-degree angle, ensuring reliable performance even on uneven terrain.

Water System and Heating

The RV includes a 60-gallon freshwater tank and a 60-gallon grey water tank, with the freshwater tank encased in steel for protection. The ducted heat system ensures warm temperatures throughout the RV, including the water tanks and bathroom. The high-end Seaflow water pump provides consistent water pressure, enhancing the overall comfort and usability of the RV.
