What an outstanding video! My only regret in life is that I didn't plan out my future for when I got this old. If I had, I would be able to purchase one of these! So to any of you younger generations out there, plan well, and live a great life!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and leaving us a comment!
❤❤
Bloopers cracked me up. Thanks for the review
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching to the very end! You are a true fan 😀 🤘
Great walk around. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!
Absolutely awesome video guys!
Thanks guys!
Nice video. That's the best look at these things I've seen yet! Thanks...
Wow that is the nicest trailer I have ever seen and it is so functional not any space wasted or misused.
Thanks man, they definitely figured out how to utilize every square inch for sure 😁
Good job guys. Loved her personality and presentation style. Great camera and editing too!
Thanks so much!!
Such an awesome camper and a very good job on the video.
Awesome video. Great setup 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for the comment and glad you liked it!
Now that’s one of the most entertaining videos that I’ve seen in a while you guys did a great job ….cheers Especially the bloopers
Thanks, glad you liked!
Professional level video, great job guys! Very nice rig.
Hey, appreciate the compliments. Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment!
Nicely done! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man!
Great video guys!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Great video. About to place a deposit on my own X3 for full-time living!
Thanks for watching! Wow full-time living huh. Keep me updated on how that goes 😁.
It looks like a fantastic trailer and a great idea. Where I live we have way too much wind to try to deal with an outdoor kitchen. However in a different region of the United States and maybe one that's a little bit warmer. This would be an excellent choice for a person warning some adventure in their life.
Absolutely great trailer ! I'm at the point where I may need one soon. For me, I like the idea of having a base camp and being able to leave for day trips. Great video !
Go for it!
If your in the Pacific Northwest , you may consider what sleeping in a tent over food in bear country can lead to. Love these campers too, but they don’t have bears in Australia.
@@Rescue-mt7fl just means I can have more guns nearby 🤣
Really enjoyed the video, nice to see some real life experience with the trailer. I was wondering how much time does it take to open it up for sleep and fold it back down. As our traveling style is less a base camp style and more of camping each night at a different location.
Nice
Very nice trailer. I find it hard to justify purchasing one of these when it costs more than my 30 foot camper. But if that style camping is your passion go for it.
Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment. Everyone is different in how they want to explore and camp and is great that we have so many choices these days to fit varying needs and budgets. The important things is that you’re getting out there and enjoying life to the fullest while we still can.
Great video guys. I enjoyed the walk through and the personality you bring to the video. Question: What is the measurement of the floor inside the trailer and how high can you reasonably store stuff there when the tent is folded up?
Hey, we appreciate you taking the time to watch. Great question, the floor inside is 38” L x 28” W x 32” H that you can store stuff. In the middle area after the tent is folded up you can even store stuff a little higher than 32” depending on the type of bedding/sheets you have in it.
@@NoLimitsOverland Very helpful...thank you so much
Thank you for sharing this video! It’s so wonderful! Had a question on the fridge, does the Dometic Fridge come or is that an additional cost add-on? We’re slowly being convinced that this is for us 😊
Hey thanks for the kind words. The Dometic fridge did come with the trailer at no additional cost at the time when we bought it but things could have changed since then so best to verify.
Love the accent
Loved your video guys! Actually an excellent review! Well done. We're down in New Zealand and really liking the look of these campers.
My question to you is: How do you find the diesel Jeep tows the X3? I'm due for a Jeep upgrade and find the diesel very appealing. Have only just learned of the Patriot X3 campers (which wifey loves the look of) so this might be a great option for us.
Thanks, Bruce
OK, so maybe I'm having a blonde (or grey) moment! Just watched your next video and there is my answer! Thanks guys. Happy wheeling
haha no worries, I have those moments most every day :). Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave us a comment!
Very eat,i now see the cost, well thought out, great workmanship
Right on
That was fun 🤩 I love this camper. The bloopers were awesome. Does the propane bottles come with it? Can’t wait to buy one! With all tent walls & floors, what was the cost for this pkg? I’m guessing between $28,000 & $35,000? If it’s more it’s understandable! I’d pay up to $45,000
Glad you enjoyed! The X3 comes with one propane bottle and you can option for a 2nd one. The X3 base is in the $54k range now which is an increase from last year. Most of the options on the other models come standard on the X3 which is why the base price is higher. I can't state price/options as it's constantly changing but you can go to Exploration Outfitters site or give them a call to spec it out: explorationoutfitters.com/pages/patriot-campers-x3
Great video. Just wondering how large is the diesel tank for the hot water and heat?
Hey, thanks for watching. I'm not sure of the exact size of the diesel tank but I know it's around 3-4 gallons.
Really trikes the presentation of the X3, we been looking at the X3 for the last couple months we noticed there only seam to be one dealer in the US and it’s in Oklahoma, is this where you purchased your trailer or this there another source?
Bruder exp 4 is also a nice trailer
How’s it tow with the Jeep, inclines off road bog down the Jeep?
Nice X3. Keep the vids coming. I’ve never seen the tent set up...maybe a video showing that?? Solar? Lithium?
Thank you for watching! We have many X3 vids planned including a setup and tear down one like you mentioned and details like towing and the RedArc BMS system.
We are currently running dual Lithium batteries and just purchased a solar panel that after I get tested and use some I’ll review as well.
@@NoLimitsOverland a full set up and tear down, both in one go, with time, no rush would be amazing. i suscribe for this ;)
Hello and thank you for putting in the time and effort to make the vids :::
1) Did you compare / contrast Patriot with Turtleback? If so, what pushed you to the Patriot
2) Is the "seating area" comfortable enough to fully relax during rainy days (stretch out, read, etc, etc)? It appears that the low and straight backs make it more suitable for a quick lunch, then out. I've had this question since Patriot did their hour long X-3 intro video. . . I love the concept, just concerned about long hours inside due to weather,.
Hey Road Rage, love the name 😀 and thanks for watching and reaching out!
1) Yes, we did do a lot of research on the Turtleback trailers among others.... like too much time lol. They are great trailers but we didn't want a roof top tent on top for a number of reasons: A) we're getting older and didn't want steep stairs to have to climb up/down especially in the middle of the night when you have to do your business B) It makes the trailer top heavy and your center of gravity isn't as low as I'd like it. You can see a number of Turtleback trailers on UA-cam that have flipped due to this issue C) You can't stand up, stretch, and move around in a roof-top tent. I've been backpacking/camping all my life and no longer want to be trapped in a tent whether it's on the ground or on top of a vehicle/trailer, so being able to stand up was a critical desire of ours which leads to question 2....
2) The seating area is what it looks like, marine grade cushions with a low straight back. However, we just take our pillows from the bed area and put them behind our backs and there's plenty of storage space to bring more pillows if needed to solve that problem. And since you can raise up the seating area for another "bed" makes for another laying option. Is it going to be like chilling in your lazy boy or media couches at home.... no lol but to have this type of area while off-grid in the middle of no where is gold. In fact, the inside area of the X3 is what really sold us due to having an area inside we can stand, sit, lay down, chill when weather is crappy outside. With the flip up table I even have a place I can work, edit videos, etc. You can still access your refrigerator from inside but technically with the awning and walls up, you have full enclosure to your kitchen outside.The reality is you will not find a trailer that closes up to as small of a space but still provide you living quarters like the X3 provides. Is it perfect no, but we drove all the way to Durant, OK to see it and put our hands on before actually making the purchase
There are many other reasons that pushed us to the Patriot X3 but these are just a few. Let me know if you have any further questions.
@@NoLimitsOverland Thanks for the quick reply:
- The Turtleback's CG is one my main concerns with that platform (just NOW watched YT vid (Brien Wankel's channel) of TB recovery.
- Sounds like the Interior can be made plenty comfortable; your explanation dealt with that worry.
I'm sure I'll have a few more question and will holler back later. . . Thanks, again -- David
Hi guys, sorry to but into the conversation, how tall is it inside as I’m 6’5” tall and was wondering if I’d be able to stand up straight inside?
Very cool - thanks for making this. Would you say this fits in a 2 car garage for storage?
Yes! It easily fits in a 2 car garage for storage. Check out our IG for a pic of it in our garage with it even deployed (though that is a little bit trickier)
@@NoLimitsOverland nice! Thank you!
Great video guys, do you mind me asking why you went for the X3 instead of the X1-H, as trying to decide between them for here in the U.K. and Europe?
The X3 is just laid out better for the way we want to travel and base camp. We don't have younger kids anymore so we don't need the huge footprint and extra living area that an X1 gives you if you have a larger family or more than two children.
The living area inside with the sitting area and table works better for us since I can work if need be in there if the weather is crappy outside and we need a place to retreat. We can also stand up inside which is key for us for changing and just being able to stretch. My wife and I love how the tent area is very roomy and has lots of windows all around. The kitchen area is bigger and the stainless steel countertop is the largest that comes on a Patriot Camper which if you've ever been camping before, you know that having counter space comes at a premium.
There's more reasons why we chose the X3 over the X1 and other trailers but I'll save that for another video 😀
@@NoLimitsOverland cheers for getting back to me. I get it as I’m thinking the same thing for us as it’s my girlfriend, our 2 year old daughter and myself. What’s the standing height inside the living area?
With the X3 you can order an extra bunk bed that goes in place where the table is that can accommodate two children if need be. When I get it back out I’ll do an actual measurement but I’m around 5’10” and can stand up without it touching my head but remember the tallest point in the tent is right in the middle where the actual benches are so if you’re over 6’ tall, your head will probably touch the top of the canvas on the side where the table is but you can move more towards the center to get more headroom if that makes sense.
can this unit be plugged into a campground 30 amp shore power connection
So how does the wrangler do towing the X3. I have an FJ and was curious because that’s the model we want. Great setup by the way, thanks for your time.
It does great but remember I have the EcoDiesel so I've got about 442 lb-ft of low end torque which makes towing it a breeze. What year FJ do you own? I know the later years added more HP and torque and I believe the towing rating is 5000 lbs so I wouldn't think you would have any problems at all.
@@NoLimitsOverland I have the 2014 Trail Teams Ultimate Edition. They increased HP and torque but lowered the Tow Rating to 4700. But that’s still 1200lbs below the ATM so I figured I should be ok. I guess if my 271lb-ft is an issue it’ll force me to get a Magnuson Super Charger
@@michaelm480 You would be completely fine with that unless you wanted to find an excuse to get a Magnuson Super Charger 🤣
How well does your Jeep pull it? Did you regear the Jeep and if so to what gears? Wife has a JKU with 5.38 gears and a little nervous about being able to pull it.
The Jeep pulls it very well but I have a diesel with lots of low end torque so didn’t have to regear it. Have you watched my jeep overview video where I talk more in depth of this?
Salem very Nice schema bonne réception cordialement enchallah
Классный кемпер! Интересный обзор. Позитивные ребята😊 Приятно было смотреть. Но почему у вас нет обзоров где вы отдыхаете на нём? Или вы просто рекламировали прицеп?
Nice! We spoke on insta but giving you some love on here. What motor and transmission do you have on your Rubicon? How’s the towing been? I’m picking my ‘21 Rubicon up in 2 days and I ordered it with the Diesel engine and auto transmission for the torque advantages. Mine has 2 inch lift and 37s which will affect weight, but curious on what your experience has been. Thanks and awesome content!
Thanks for all the love! I am also running the Diesel engine on my Rubicon and so far loving it. Towing has been great obviously due to the low end torque. I'll be doing a walk-around vid of it probably at some point. Couple things to note though: 1) It does sag somewhat in the rear. It's not as bad as I was thinking it would be but it is noticeable and at some point will probably install some rear aigbags for the suspension. 2) The rear door will not open and clear the towbar and hitch due to the spare tire being too low. I need another 3-4" of clearance so I need to figure that out another tire carrier setup. 3) You will go through more DEF fluid when towing
@@NoLimitsOverland good to know. I have the rear tire relocation bracket so it will be interesting to see if that helps clear the tow bar. Exploration outfitters told me they can install the rear airbags on delivery so it sounds like that will definitely be needed. Thanks!
Did your internal table and compartments above the fridge and coffee machine come with the silver bubble metal finish matching the exterior kitchen table? or did you do this after delivery?
It came that way from the factory with that stainless steel top. The X3 model when it was first released didn’t have that on top of the internal table but they’ve since changed that.
@@NoLimitsOverland Thanks
Love the video and love the X3. How did you go about ordering this? Do you have a local dealer or was it online direct? We are in Alabama and have started to look seriously at the X3.
Thanks Darren for watching! There is only one licensed dealer in the US that you can get a Patriot Camper from, Exploration Outfitters in Durant, OK explorationoutfitters.com/. Give them a call and tell them we sent you 😀
@@NoLimitsOverland thank you!
I have been seriously interested in the X3 since it was announced. Would you mind answering a few questions? Is it mosquito proof? I have been told yes by some and no by others. Is it dust proof with the top down, say if you travel on gravel roads or with the top up and say if you get caught in a dust storm? With the diesel heater how cold do you feel like you could comfortably camp given the absolute minimum would be 32 to prevent the water tank and lines from freezing. Are you happy with your decision to purchase the skirt? Thanks and this was a great review.
Hey Asher, thanks for watching and commenting! I'll try to answer most of your questions but remember we just got the X3 so won't be able to answer some with real world experience yet.
1) Is it mosquito proof? Yes it can be but in the middle of the tent on both sides when it's deployed is some velcro that needs to be inspected and properly sealed otherwise there can be open air areas where flying insects could find there way in.
2) Dust proof/dust storm proof? I haven't been caught in a dust storm yet but knowing and seeing how these things seal, you won't have a problem with this when it's closed. With it open, you just have to make sure the areas that are velcro are sealed properly like I mentioned previously. Plus the Patriot Campers are used and tested in Australia which has some of the most extreme weather conditions. Nothing is perfect but if you watch Patriot Games, you can see how they abuse these trailers and how they hold up to conditions like these.
3) The diesel heater, I've been asked this question so many times so looks like I need to do a video on this topic 😀. I have tested this in the cold with real data. The diesel heater will keep the inside temp around 12-14 degrees warmer than what the outside ambient temperatures are. So if it's 32 outside, you can reasonable expect the diesel heater to keep the inside of the tent around 44-46 degrees. I've been cold weather camping/backpacking in the past many times but I supplement the diesel with a Buddy heater which keeps my wife happy when it's cold, and a happy wife is a happy life 🤣. However, cold weather camping is the one weak area of Patriot Campers as the water tanks aren't fully insulated as well as the lines. However, because the diesel heater is so efficient you can leave it on 24/7 to prevent lines from freezing even when towing it so you have that option.
4) Are you happy with your decision to purchase the skirt? I'm not sure what you mean by "the skirt". Can you clarify?
@@NoLimitsOverland I was calling the enclosure that attaches to the sun shade the Skirt. Thanks for the feedback! Enjoy!
Gotcha, yeah getting the awning walls is a no brainer as it properly protects you from the elements like the rain and wind. We’ll be doing a lot of beach camping so having a place to escape the wind will be nice.
Are the food storage areas bear proof?
How efficient is the webasto diesel heater in heating the tent?
The diesel heater is able to keep the internal temperature of the tent about 12-14 degrees warmer than what the outside temperature is.
Do you know if it can come with and ac? That’s a game changer for me if I’m going to spend that kind of money
These campers do not come with AC. Having canvas which is breathable, windows on every side for cross ventilation, and using something like a transcool E3, we haven't needed an AC.
Any build complaints and/or tips?
Can this be towed by a side by side atv
This is a beautiful cart for sale and what is the price of the cart and all the luggage equipment and cooking utensils
At $50,000 ++++ add those options in might as well get a Conquer or Bushwakka you get more for your money !!
Aussies are miles ahead with this stuff.
how would this differ from an OPUS that is half the cost, with similar features and high end materials?
Hey, thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment. It might seem from afar that an OPUS and Patriot Camper are similar but there are many significant differences:
- The frame and towbar is different as well as the hitch
- The airbag CruiseMaster suspension is nothing like you can get on any other trailer (Patriot partnered with CruiseMaster and they made a custom suspension that can't be used on anything else)
- The wheels are different
- The size and weight is very different and the Patriot being so small yet still providing so much storage and living space is a big pro for me.
- All metal and aluminum construction, OPUS has a a lot of wood being used on the interior with vinyl flooring
- The kitchen layout is very different along with all the cooking appliances and use of stainless steel counter tops everywhere outside and inside.
- The batteries and battery management system, pure sine wave power inverter, tow vehicle power, solar etc are all different and managed by RedArc, the best in the business which OPUS doesn't have.
- The interior is very different and the construction of the "tent".
- The awning type and construction is different
- The water/air heat runs via a diesel Webasto
And the list goes on. None of this is a ding on OPUS, quite the opposite, but to say they are similar is not being well informed. I think OPUS is a great trailer for the money but the size and weight of it, use of an air compressor to inflate the tent, how big and tall it inflates is not my preference, use of wood and vinyl, it's kitchen layout, power options, and some other things didn't line up with me and my wife's personal preferences in what we wanted. Hope that helps a little and let me know if you have any other questions.
Whats the gross weight of your trailer when all set up for a trip?
Dry it’s a little less than 2500lbs and gross probably 3000-3100lbs give or take.
How much is this great trailer
That trailer is really cool and looks to be very well built but for a base price of $54k I would want a whole lot more "luxury". That price is insane for what it is.
I understand how you feel but that is what's great about all the options we have today. We have such a wide range of options for everyone's personal needs and budget as well as how they want to travel and explore. Thanks for stopping by and leaving us a comment!
Where are you located????
Are you living in it full time
We are not living in it full-time currently but who knows what the future might hold!
How much does it weigh
Poderia ter legenda em português Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You said the diesel heater heats the tent a little. And you have an electric blanket as well as a buddy heater. So is the diesel heater not enough?
Hey, I'm actually working on another vid that talks about that and winter camping with it 😀. To answer your question, it depends on the person. For me it's enough but for my wife not so much lol. However, I have actual data that shows that the diesel heater is able to keep the internal temperature of the tent about 12-14 degrees warmer than what the outside temperature is. So not great but it's something.
At the end of the day it's a canvas tent with no insulation properties so a buddy heater is nice to have on hand in cold situations that you need to quickly knock the chill off right before bed and/or right before you get up.
I have a Kodiak Canvas 10x14, and prefer winter camping. I use a buddy heater which works great, so long as you don't turn it off. We have zero degree sleeping bags for night. I like the idea of using an electric blanket, which works fine if you're not boondocking, or you have lots of battery.
We have a Goal Zero 200X that would work great powering an electric blanket in a Kodiak Canvas tent 😁 , as long as it’s 120W or less
@@NoLimitsOverland what is heater system using by patriot camper? some specs?
They use the Webasto Dual Top Evo 6 Diesel heater system to heat both the water and inside of the tent.
This would be perfect for my family but I can't get over the price. I can buy an Air Opus 4 for around $20k but of course it's heavier and longer. This X3 is over $50k.. more than double to save weight and size. I don't get it. I'd love to hear a logical explanation of why they cost so much more.
Hey, thanks for stopping by and watching and leaving us a comment! I completely understand about price and my wife and I were at first reluctant. It wasn't until we took a 26 hour round trip in a 36 hour period to the only dealer in the US to see it in person and put our hands on it that we were sold on the features and abilities that it would give my wife and I as we go on our adventures, both short and long.
Here's the thing, I could go on and on about certain features and why we picked the X3 over the many other great trailers out there, but "value" is a very subjective thing. A certain feature or what I value and am willing to pay extra for is going to be very different than someone else's based on my own past experiences and the way my wife and I want to travel and experience the great outdoors. You also have the law of diminishing return which applies with a lot of things in life. Just because something is double the price doesn't necessarily mean you are getting double the features, performance, quality, etc.
I'll probably do a video on this as this question really needs a much deeper and more concise explanation than I'm really able to provide in the comments section. But here are a couple things that for me personally, I put a high value on. Remember the adage, one mans junk is another mans treasure 😀, but the X3 is far from junk lol:
- You will not find another trailer out there as small as the Patriot Camper X3 that provides you as much living, sleeping, storage, eating space than the X3. I wanted a trailer that was not wider or taller than my Jeep when being towed. Couple reasons for this is I needed to be able to store it in a small area, we have trails that are very small with dense foliage and sometimes two way traffic on these small trails. I want to know if my Jeep can get through a tight area of a trail, then my trailer can too. It's also way more aerodynamic when towing and due to its very low center of gravity, safer and more secure on and off the trails. Also when deployed, the top of the tent area is still low enough to fit into some small dispersed camping areas that might have lower hanging branches/trees.
- As small as the trailer is, when deployed I have a full sitting area with table for working or eating, I can stand up in it, put a toilet inside if need be and the sleeping area is very roomy with windows all around. Being able to stand up inside, sit and work and eat if it's cold, windy, or stormy out was a must for me and my wife due to my 30+ years of backpacking/camping experience in every type of weather conditions.
- Patriot Campers are built like tanks and the frame design and thickness is the best I've seen. It might even be overkill but I like knowing how rugged this thing is and can take a beating and will probably outlast a couple jeeps I'll end up owning 😀.
- Because I do videography, I carry a lot of computer and camera gear which require a lot of power options and proper BMS and pure sine wave inverter equipment. The X3 provides so many different power options which I love for the way I work and do videography. RedArc BMS systems are the best on the market IMO and I don't want to be plugging my expensive laptops and equipment into anything less.
- The kitchen layout how it's L shaped and how large of a flat workspace you have is the best setup I've seen on a trailer out there when it comes to food prep, cooking, cleaning/washing, grilling, access to fridge, etc. This was a huge selling point for my wife in addition to the roominess inside and ability to standup.
There are many more reasons but again I'll save it for a video. I'm no manufacturer expert or mechanical engineer but I do know that these Patriot Campers use some of the very best materials around. Are they perfect... no, nothing is but you are getting the very best in such a small form which is an engineering effort in itself to provide this much living area and storage area in such a small footprint. You are getting something that is going to last over a decade if maintained and taken care of IMO.
Again, if you are doing a couple camping trips a year then yeah, this is definitely not worth it. I always tell people to use what you have and slowly upgrade your gear to better or different gear as you figure out how you best want to camp and travel. Again, I've been camping/backpacking for over 30 years so I knew exactly the conveniences of home and features I wanted to provide for me and my wife that I was willing to pay for. There is no right or wrong way as everyone has different financial limits, stages in life, what they value and what experiences they want to have when exploring. The great thing is we have so many options for people to choose from these days. Also, renting a teardrop trailer is a great way to get your feet wet especially for your significant other as my wife didn't have a lot of camping experience and it helped her see what she liked and didn't like about that experience which helped push us to the X3 option as well.
Wow, I'm long winded and typed too much 🤣. Hopefully this answered some of your questions/concerns and let me know if you have any other questions!
@@NoLimitsOverland Holy crap that was a long explanation, but thank you! lol
I have to ask, did you consider other trailers before picking this one? were you familiar with the Air Opus 2 and 4 models? I'm wondering how they compare for the things you describe. I have looked at them personally and they cover a lot of the needs you listed except they are definitely longer than the X3, but, more spacious inside.
Yes, we looked at many other trailers like the Turtleback and almost pulled the trigger on the Off Grid Trailers from Canada. The Opus I looked at but didn't like the kitchen layout among other things. Also, personal preference but didn't like the fact that I had to depend on power/mechanical equipment to get my shelter setup. I didn't like the fact that when off-grid I would be draining precious power/batter resource to get my shelter up and wasn't a fan of how high/large it got. For tall people it's definitely a pro but for me I didn't want it blowing up that big. Also didn't like the thought of not being able to get your shelter setup due to a malfunction when off-grid due to it's dependency on motors and power. Again, everyone has different preferences so there is no right or wrong choice really as it really depends on what kind of experience you want to have and how you want to travel and explore. Everything has it's pros and cons and nothing is perfect as you have to trade some things no matter which ones you look at. For me, I didn't want anything that large and heavy as it would require me getting another vehicle as a Jeep has a max tow capacity of 3500lbs so any trailer near that or over it was not even considered which ruled out the Opus pretty quickly.
@@NoLimitsOverland Thank you for the time in typing out your thoughts. Great showcase of the X3 you have here :)
How much does the trailer weigh?
Ours is around 2400lbs dry without water, propane, diesel, food, and gear.
Awesome trailer but a starting price of 54k?!?! Seems a bit steep
I feel you on that one but no regrets and their price has increased since we purchased it last year.
Velcro always makes me nervous.
Where's the link and price?
You can check out Exploration Outfitters which is the only authorized Patriot Camper dealer in the US for pricing and options, explorationoutfitters.com/
Price point?
In the $50k range
Where do you poop?
I like it, straight to the point 😀. We use a Joolca Ensuite Double shower/privacy tent that we setup for that type of activity. The great thing about the X3 though is if the weather and/or particular situation doesn't allow us to have it setup, we do have room in the little walkway area inside the X3 or if we have the awning walls setup we could use that area as well if we are not camping in a heavy populated area.
@@NoLimitsOverland Got it and thank you for the time info.
My 2020 army green trd pro tundra cost less than this thing lmao!
$54,000???
I just can't see over AU$70k worth of value there.
Thanks for stopping by! I completely understand but "value" is a very subjective thing. What I'm willing to pay for and find value in something is going to be very different for others and yourself. I've been backpacking and camping for over 30 years so my past experiences, gear I've used, how I want to travel and explore this great country with my wife, all drive my personal value in something and the X3. There is no right or wrong way to get out there and explore and make memories with your friends, family, and loved ones. Use what you have and then upgrade over time as your personal experiences will drive what you find value in.
54k for utility trailer with tent woow. At this point in life i can afford it, but i would rather burn $54k. 🤢
Right on. No toilet, No heater, No rear hitch receiver. No gray water tank! No red lights to preserve night vision. $54K can buy a four season luxury travel trailer.
@@malanalan1 the X3 actually comes with a toilet and heater.
i just puked at the price of starting $56k, lol. Its nice tho.
If you have 54K to blow why pay to live in the woods like a grizzle bear???? (The biggest complaint about these(& similar type rigs), women incessantly complain about lack of an indoor toilet for night duty)
Because the X3 has that inside entry way/sitting area, it's enough space for us to put our Cleanwaste Go Anywhere portable toilet inside for my wife or I to use and she has without any issues. We actually have three options, inside the X3 for emergencies or if the weather is cold/nasty, outside under the awning with the walls up, or inside our Joolca shower/bath tent that can be placed right near our awning. Part of the journey is figuring out stuff like that together as a couple and making modifications as you go along that work best for you.
I'm just thankful I have a wife that is wanting to go on this journey with me, is fine with some inconveniences, and is ok with figuring things out as we go out on adventures. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.
@@NoLimitsOverland Sir, I am very envious of you & your wife. You have found a gem of a lady who is in love with you and your life style. When on trips my wife is constantly scanning online for 4/5 star accommodations although she has begrudgingly gone on trips in the woods. Live and enjoy a peaceful life.
Pretty cool but for 55k not worth it at all.
$ 35,000 ya,,,,,,,,,,,not.
Bro it costs more than my car
Bro, I know right. My wife and I spent a good while researching our options, making sacrifices, and felt this was the best choice for us and how we wanted to travel and explore this great country. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.
nearly 90k seems pretty overpriced
No limit or no budget.....
Ha, that’s a good one lol. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment.
