Patriot Campers X3 Walkthrough

[@andrewcaines9260]

This is the first customer review of the X3, great job, please keep them coming. a real time set-up vid would be fantastic. Thanks

[@louisfrost4975]

Fantastic Rig for people who like being "outdoors". Americans don't appreciate it because it's not a house on wheels but, to each there own.

[@chipschannel9494]

One of the better reviews on the X3, well done.

[@explorebymore]

Looks great, nice review mate!

[@overlandingand4WD]

Great video Brett - answered a few questions I've had while waiting for ours. We saw the demo back in March and interested in some of the subtle improvements they've made in the production version.

[@MICHAELLOPEZ-us9fb]

Love the X3 video. Good job. Love to buy one now.

[@jase6827]

Great real owners review. Nice one mate

[@digitalawareness4282]

Would be great to see the initial setup of the tent. How long does that take to setup? I been waiting for an owner to start posting actual videos of their use of the X3 and appreciate any videos you post, thanks...

[@BrettDalSanto]

Hey, Ill record that next time. From turning up to be completely setup with tent + awning is about 30min, but that's not pushing it and enjoying a beer

[@rogdedodge7258]

Half hour setup is pretty reasonable, obviously if your planting for a few days you make more effort, if it's overnight you could probably get it done in 10

[@tombreakspear771]

Loved the video, should do a real time setup and pack downs video

[@simonbar7665]

Big like

[@fotisaiki]

Nice video and cool trailer.....Dude you might want to change your trailer license plate hahahahaha....I am just kidding ;) Thanks for sharing.

I have been talking to the US distributor since the X3 was announced but just can't bring myself to purchase on. Taxes in the US are the big problem as you have to pay taxes year after year on them. Also, Are they bug and mosquito proof (I have been told they are not), can you power wash the X3 and the contents in the X3 say dry, what are your thoughts about the Webasto heater? I have watched a few DIY Webasto repair videos and they are more involved that I care to undertake. I hear the propane heaters are the better more reliable option.

[@ifly64s]

Did ya ever buy one? If so, how do you like it? The US dealer website shows inventory over a year out.

[@MC_Aus]

Any build complaints, tips?

[@Ibanez012003]

Great video - thinking of picking one up next year. Have you had a chance to use heating inside the cabin when it gets cold out at night?

[@louisfrost4975]

Late reply. It's not suitable for Nordic climates but it helps on a chilly Australian night. The catch22 is when you zipup and get it pumping, you get the sauna effect. Easier to sleep in a sub-zero sleeping bag. It's basically to take the chill out but you'll still be dressed heavy

[@miguelruizm]

How many "setups" did you hear?

[@MC_Aus]

Did your internal table and compartments above the fridge and storage come with the silver bubble metal finish matching the exterior kitchen table? or did you do this after delivery?

[@BrettDalSanto]

hey Morne, sorry I missed this. Mine came like above. I was one of the first models made so not sure why mine was different. But since I video this patriot contacted me and swapped out my lids to the black lids with a better support just like you see in production models

[@robschultz332]

$ 70, 990, base price (with things to make it fully functional like fridge, bbq, awnings, etc optional that can add tens of 000's) for basically a nice tent sitting on a trailer with a small food prep area and a bit of storage. No toilet nor shower. Quality is very good no doubt. But $ for $ I it's not value for money. It's just too expensive for what it is. I think 75% of their current selling price is the sweet spot for X3 and X1 models.

[@rogdedodge7258]

To be fair Rob the external shower annex is preferable to showering in a phone box with a toilet in the corner. Unless I missed it this thing could do with some kind of internal kitchen for when your rained in. Basically mate if you look at what $80k will get you in terms of a new caravan/motor home compared to this, there's a gulf in quality and design that would really come into play at the 5yr mark. I'm not sure how feasible it would be to put some kind of entertainment setup in there, but that would be a must.

[@robschultz332]

​@@rogdedodge7258 I'm actually not comparing outside and inside toilets mate. I've just pointed out that for the base price of $71k this unit still has no fridge, bbq, awning, shower and toilet (etc) to make it fully functional. And if I may add, camper trialer is not apple for apple compraison to caravans. Have you ever counted how many Aussie products are there in the world market (except for minerals and agricultural products)? Very few. Why? Not bec we can't produced good products, we sure can. The problem is pricing. Things produced in straya are almost always more expensive than similar (or even better spec) products produced in North America and Europe. My dream is to see the Australian manufacturing sector produce quality products in more competitive prices.

This video is gold. I love the Patriot HQ videos but they do leave some questions unanswered. I have just bought an X3. Expecting in April. I noticed you have an Amarok also. Is it a 2L or 3L? I have the 2L and interested in its towing characteristics off-road. I have subscribed; hoping for some more tips and tricks.

[@BrettDalSanto]

Thanks Martin! Congrats on the purchase! Ours is the V6, hardly notice the trailer is on!

[@markstambaugh3273]

Is the X3 tight enough to keep mosquitos and small insects, snakes out?

[@II-yd6gx]

It’s a beautiful well thought out camping trailer: however, for me a “man cave” would include a 75 ton workshop press.

[@debedwards1717]

Does your dog sleep inside? We’re thinking of getting one and we have a dog similar to yours, who absolutely needs to sleep with us.

[@rogdedodge7258]

You can't leave a dog out unprotected in remote areas, they're no match for ferals. I'd be worried about long haired breeds, maybe a monthly shearing is in your dogos future

[@BrettDalSanto]

She sleeps inside! she is fairly small so she sleeps up on a bed ontop of the inside opening to the fridge most nights

[@simonhamilton2158]

Hi where do you keep your clothes up stairs? Do u just leave them in you bags or is there space to pack in draws?

[@rogdedodge7258]

It's got bins all over the place but what I'd suggest is a few large Tupperware type trunks in the car to act as additional storage.

[@Martin-ik7wt]

Hey. I have another question. Do you still have the rear mudflaps on your Rok and how’s the X3 go with stone chip damage?

[@BrettDalSanto]

Yeah I still have stock rear mudfaps, havent had any stone damage yet.. tho I have seen people with stone guards but not me
