RATED Negative 40 Degrees! TRUE Overlander Travel Trailer!

2022 Imperial Outdoors Xplore X22 - Thank you to Sonnys RV
Hey Everyone welcome back to a super exciting episode of Matts RV Reviews… Today we are taking a look at a Xplore x22! This is a true Overland or RV this travel trailer is one of the best constructed that I’ve ever seen and it is actually rated to be in temperatures below zero -40° to be exact which is absolutely crazy… Now that is the manufacturer that claims that not me LOL but I know you will love this RV!

[@epikphail9898]

Im a truck driver always on the move very used too small spaces this is what ive been waiting for i dont want a house this is PERFECT!!!

[@phatgringo2.0]

bless you brother

[@larryferd1510]

I am absolutely loving all these new types of RV’s your showing. I hope you get to do some European type RV’s as they are beautiful and all edges rounded. I watch your videos every single day

[@taylorreiner4067]

Agree!!!

[@gutturf]

I will patiently wait until Matt does the Safari Condo Alto F2114, although it might be a while until he gets to it, especially since I think it is only sold in Canada and they are now taking orders for 2025. But it is the ultimate lightweight camper with dual axles and only 2400 lb.

[@tamitompkins5115]

Love the build of this unit and I absolutely love your honest reviews of the variety this brings. We are HUGE fans of yours!!! Don’t know how you have increased your reviews to so many, but certainly appreciate it and will be basing our future motorhome purchase on what you’ve brought to us!! Thanks all of you!!

[@miguelsouderado3459]

If you haven’t seen ROA’s factory tour of Imperial Outdoors you should head over to their channel to see how these are made. They walk you through the design philosophy and materials used to construct these units. It is quite impressive. I would be buying this if I didn’t have a Tacoma and I even considered trading in my rig to have the capacity to tow this. I am very impressed and these are the only American trailers I have found that are on par with Bruder and Kimberly caravans. It is good to see quality, American made trailers that are true 4 season rigs that are capable of going anywhere the tow vehicle can pull it.

[@femalism1715]

I love that there are slides and that it is truly 4 seasons - you could winter camp in Alaska!

[@chuckspencer5296]

OK... This thing looks sharp for an overland trailer... My only concern would be the 30/30 fresh and gray water tanks... That just seems really small for a unit of this size. The only way that could work realistically is if the shower were a recirculating unit, and that would present its own set of problems... The size of that whole bathroom just didn't seem really useable the way it was set up, unless you are under 6' tall and weigh less than 150lbs... But then again, I guess most of their customers would be... I do like the quality of the cabinets and the door latches and hidden hinges! Very well made with solid wood. I can hardly wait to see what you bring us next Matt and Will...

[@waynecole2465]

Love the review, want to see more of the overlanders. Love the compost toilet. Keep up the great work .

[@paultompkins7392]

Glad to see you guys reviewing everything. It is cool to see all kinds of different RVs.

[@sdz9850]

Especially when space is tight...there is no need for a sink in the bathroom when it is 3 feet from the kitchen!!

[@Dragonflies1928]

Excellent point

[@hshalom9113]

Remove the bathroom sink and drop in a lil apt closet washer with flip top counter over it.

[@amyjackson8291]

I would like to see the inside of the rooftop storage. I would also like to see the included tent set up. Very nice unit. I can imagine snow skiers/boarders all over Colorado loving this unit.

[@RockerRed]

Amy Jackson: I know you would have liked Matt to show it, but I found a short video that shows the tent. 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5fFqaJofd-anrM

[@lindakurman8642]

So very different and interesting made so well. Nice and compact inside.

[@Bellyup6969]

You weren’t super excited , so I had to actually watch this review. Thanks! Pretty cool setup.

[@ThanksJanie]

This is a perfect vehicle for a long trip to Alaska! I totally disagree about the dislike in the bathroom and the suggestion of less countertop space. All I need a bathroom for is to do my business. But I will use that countertop space to the max! Countertop space rules! But totally understand that this wouldn't work for bigger people.

[@richardhopp8574]

i have looked at these overland campers for over a year and the only thing that it REALLY NEEDS is a bigger bathroom. Thanks for your review.

[@sisken12]

I know it's a small thing, but I appreciate that the window can be opened wide so air can really come inside and circulate. I also like the kitchen counter space in spite of the size of the trailer. Not a fan of the composting toilet.

[@ilmmoody]

$94,000.00?!?!?! That’s crazy.

[@dgpatter]

Why?

[@ilmmoody]

@@dgpatter The better question is why you don’t see an issue with a $94,000 price tag for a Overland or trailer of that size?

[@dgpatter]

@@ilmmoody Are you a 24 oz cube steak over an 8 oz Filet Mignon kinda guy? If so, fine; there’s no shame in that. There’s just no reason to question why quality costs more.

[@ilmmoody]

@@dgpatter more of a ribeye guy myself. I don’t disagree with you regarding quality. $94,000 is entirely too expensive for a unit of that size. That’s just fact. Be curious to see what it costs for them to make that. Not only for materials but for labor. At the end of the day, it’s about supply and demand, if somebody wants to pay that, good for them. In my opinion there are much better options out there at a fraction of the cost.

[@teslatwosome945]

We would love to see you come and visit Tom's Camperland. They have several brands that you just don't see. Like Lance and Outdoors RV. We live 120 miles away and would love to meet your crew, if you come to Arizona to film reviews!

[@MattsRVReviewsTowables]

We will 100% And we will let you know!

[@sicily6740]

I'll second this - I'd like to see reviews of some of the Lance travel trailers. Your new RV dealer connection is fun because the variety of RVs is much greater.

[@johntoms9666]

This was such an interesting review Matt, my wife and I really enjoy all the new type of RV' you guys are showing. Most likely we would never get to see one of these up close and personal like you two do when you show us one of them, thanks again and keep-em coming!

[@Flawdaboi239]

Every other review I've seen of this trailer had a super skinny reviewer. Thank you for showing a real world experience with the bathroom. This is the main thing stopping me from getting this. I love the insulation value.

[@GunnyBB0369]

I removed the glass shower doors and used the tracking of it to put a plastic curtain up.. it was a night and day difference.

[@pierredaigneault5615]

@@GunnyBB0369 GREAT TIP ! Being 5ft5in and 140lbs I dont give any value to Will's shower test or Matt's usual sitting position on the toilet, except if Will gives a pass to a shower, I know I can save water by showering with my girlfriend. LOL

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Great video; thanks for posting. I thought it was weird to put the batteries in front of the floor storage under the bed. I agree with another poster that a sink in the tiny bathroom is odd with another sink so close (although it's not pleasant for someone to brush their teeth, shave, or grab the door knob to come out after a dump and washing up in the kitchen).

[@josephrobichaud5198]

That Vee front eats up a lot of space. Those flex solar panels are the least efficient they make. Will was incorrect when mentioning you would want to lower the tire pressure on the trailer when off roading, that's only done on the tow vehicle for more traction.

[@lutomson3496]

Depends on the flex mfr on solar panels

[@sgt.grinch3299]

I like the trailer. I’m only 5’9” tall and my wife is 5’3”. This can do just about everything I need. I understand the price, but it is worth it. My dislike is not really a dislike, too heavy for my 2021 Ranger. I need something lighter. Excellent video.

[@sherriweber7105]

This is a great unit. The bathroom is small. Think the rest it is great. I don’t like the steps working like they do. And when on the roof it hard to hold onto something once on roof. The rest of this travel trailer is great. Especially for those who go off the grid. Matt you are so funny. Saying you’re Imaginers. I love guys! Thank you Matt and Wil!

[@daveclawson5185]

That’s badass!

[@elpmettsol]

I’m not a super tall guy. So the bathroom size works for me. Much more pro’s than con’s about this trailer!😊

Thanks good work

Great job guys introducing all these cool RVs!

[@RockerRed]

👍 💙I love seeing reviews of these.💙 I've been looking these up on other channels recently. I think it's cool to have something that so rough and tough and can go anywhere. I haven't seen this one yet. Great video! 🙂Thank you! Thank you!

Would love for you guys to go out to Tom`s! The more and different Rvs you review the better it is for all of us in this little community.

[@Dieseltorq]

Loved this review ❤️‍🔥🧚‍♀️❤️‍🔥 any chance you can do a night time review on some rv's and trailers so we can see them all lit up at night?

[@Thesaltymedic36]

Dislike the toilet. I’d use a cassette instead. Dislike the mattress, looks super cheap. Dislike the bathroom for Will’s reasons. Love the suspension and clean underbelly. Love the lithium package and solar. Love the real cold weather package.

[@Lex-Rex]

This is not a compositing toilet. Here is a YT video showing how it works kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWjPf6ydp9yEd80 It is a pretty cool setup.

[@Thesaltymedic36]

@@Lex-Rex wow ok!! That is nice. I’ll research it some more. I’m curious as to how much the refills are for it and I worry about availability of them for the next decade. It’s a diaper genie 🧞‍♂️ for adults. Very cool.

[@Lex-Rex]

@@Thesaltymedic36 Those are my concerns as well. as for price, they are not cheap pretty sure around 200 dollar range for refills.

[@Thesaltymedic36]

@@Lex-Rex ouch, that’s expensive depending on how long they last.

[@supersoberano2095]

Awesome video as always. Glad to see you guys point out the hood range. Question on that does it exhaust outside? Keep them video coming. I’d like to see some more true 4 season please.

[@lkayh]

I love the idea of a trailer that is this well insulated and built to go places other trailers can’t. At the same time, it seems odd to me that they would go all out to make this weatherproof and then sacrifice things that make long-term camps (which is really when weather becomes an issue) comfortable. Seems counter-intuitive. Add a few feet to the length (and I get why they don’t do that-off-roading is harder on longer trailers) and make the bathroom bigger and add more storage for food and clothing. And yeah, admittedly I’m not really the market for these guys so pretty much ignore everything I just said. LOL.

[@nepatswin]

I love it!

[@jayanderson1813]

Awesome rig

[@anthonyb2334]

What a great camper. I am no longer an overland camper but if I was, I could really go for this. So well made The hydraulic lift system is fantastic Cabinet locks-I wish my coach had them Dislikes- That bath is too tight. Reconfigure somehow. If that long kitchen counter that connects to that “nightstand” or the nightstand was shorted a few inches that would help Rear ladder looks stout but not easy to climb. Change to heavy duty tube perhaps. Would love to see you guys at Tom’s Camperland. We would definitely be there.

[@randyjones1514]

Great review. I would love to see more Overlander reviews. Enjoyed very much.

[@judydavenport9636]

THATS WHAT I WANT.. Altho i dont have a 4wd truck I love the expidition type trailers. thanks for showing this

[@eskimomosul7132]

Looks like you all coming out to Tom's RV in Beautiful Arizona Matt ! That Imperial Xplore is perfect for our desert Southwest . Looks like enough Stowage. The soft close cabinetry was unexpected , and is all weather capable ... Sweet . But that Price point is woweeee...Safe Travels Ya'll .

[@bartman1857]

Wowee....especially since they were going for over 30k less just last spring

[@InfernosReaper]

I'm still trying to figure out how and why composting toilets are so expensive. There's barely anything to them...

[@roberthopkins2494]

Probably because of how few get manufactured. I'm sure if more rv manufacturers were installing composting toilets in their units the price would be more reasonable on the secondary market.

[@Lex-Rex]

This is not a composting toilet. Here is a video on how it works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWjPf6ydp9yEd80 also RV of America has an awesome playlist of this trailer and use and abuse it big time. It is a true overland RV.

[@Springfield2016]

Nice off grid unit with the exception of the small water tank. My KZ toy hauler has 80g fresh water which makes off grid camping for a week possible. 30g would last only a couple of days unless tou take sponge baths.

[@gd4u422]

I feel like we need a unit like this not just because of off-roading but because of all the pot holes across America! LOL!

[@MotorBoating1413]

I’d love to see you review the patriots camper X3

[@johnpossible6292]

Actually I thought the MSRP would have been over 100k. This is the quality people are looking for. I dont mind paying more when you have the features this rig has. There has to be at least4 grand in tires and rims. And that suspension is tremendous. Igotta see one of these in person.

[@Lex-Rex]

They are selling in the high 60s-mid 70K range not bad for this rig. RVs of America has a playlist of this trailer and they beat the crap out of it. This is one of the best overland trailers I have seen and I have been shopping for one for over a year now.

[@ericmalcolm7417]

Matt you're killing it I mean I've never seen a vid producer make me laugh straight from the hip and I've been doing this research for a while I'm up in Albany New York but I'd sure love to sit down and chat with you I'll be eating an RV for myself and my dog as we leave New York and head for Parts South I'm 53 but I will watch this video and try and contact you thanks again for your wonderful Productions they are 1 in a zillion

[@bobellis1022]

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

$94,000 is a good deal for a well made camper. If you get a conventional camper - you will end up paying just as much to fix the issues that happen from hard camping. I like it - rated for late season camping and the off road capability is awesome. Camping in places with rough roads in Amish Country of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

[@bartman1857]

94k is high retail. Trust me any dealer would discount that. To announce 94k then say hey I can get u a better deal is cheeses ball. U saying 94k is a good deal is such BS man come on

Few things. It is also rated for 110F as well as -40. Also, the toilet is not composting. It is a toilet that sucks everything in and seals it like a Diaper Jeannie and here is the video of it operating: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWjPf6ydp9yEd80. Thanks for showing the size of the bathroom and it is indeed tight. Other than that it is an awesome rig and sells between 68-79K.

[@michaellocy4750]

Want to see more of these

[@tremjar1305]

love this one, i am a skinny person so that turd collector would probably be fine for me, i do not normally like radius showers either, but in this, i think it is perfect, bit bigger would be nice but not really doable without squashing toilet even more, could just get rid of bathroom sink totally, square shower against the one wall, that odd corner left over could be outside storage, toilet on other would solve both issues there, but just ideas, i myself would take it just as it sits, does not seem to need any real changes or additions, maybe more solar input, 200 watts is kinda weak but probably sufficient for most places, i would rather 1000, especially if in overcast areas where you do not get much sun all day to begin with.... suck up as much as you possibly can fast as you can while you can, or heavy cloud cover end up with 200 watts input from 1000 anyway, better than 40 watts out of 200. way higher priced above any budget i have, yes... but if i had that budget, i would probably choose this over a larger 5th wheel or other rather normal much larger ones in same price range.

[@kathyadams3366]

Lol at Will in that shower! Beam me up Scotty! It’s a cool camper but overpriced. Bed is too short, U dinette looks uncomfortable with the table. With the pass through storage in the back and the two tires, seems like it would be to much weight in the back.
