MDC XT12HR First Impressions: Why This Trailer Is a Must-See!

[@jerryclleung]

YES FINALLY!!! Shane just wanna say, if no one appreciates the hard work you and your team works, I DO! I can’t wait to see this in person, I’ve watched this video about 10x now!!! 😅 I just wished they added a small fridge in that closet 🤞🤞🤞

[@ROAOffRoad]

Let’s figure out the fridge! There are definitely options for a simple mod.

[@parkcitymacs]

You must be the hardest working reseller in the RV industry. Total respect. Can you fit a fridge inside that closet? Something the Germans at NuCamp (Tabbert) seem to understand regarding how “compressors” work in warmer inside temps versus a portable fridge that has the unit compressor in a cold outside in a storage bay. I get why Aussies want to cook outside when it is too hot to do so inside. Yet, for a small trailer, a kitchen inside that is within 6 feet of a second kitchen outside raises some questions on use of space. Wind usually prevents controlled cooking outside, and great not pay for a redundant outside kitchen if that is an option to remove. Did not see the microwave. Also, can you order this as non Lithium or just wire prepped, so one could put a more efficient Ecoflow LiPo system that can be taken in and out of the trailer when it is not in use, versus outdated hard mounted lithium systems that require a controller? Having permanent Lithium batteries, in particular in Utah, that won’t function, and reduce the lifespan, when the trailer is stored in cold or hot conditions is a poor oversight, and would cost much lest and provide much faster charging speeds and power delivery. I’m seeing people mod’ing Tab360’s adding suspension and an articulating hitch and they are still under $48K. What is the price range on this?

[@strokeguyoverland5060]

Lack of access to a fridge/ freezer inside about the only drawback i see,to bad with all the redesign they didn’t include that

[@parkcitymacs]

@ I went down and looked at it. A microwave can fit if you remove the range blower which does not make much sense with window that close. It is a very close fit for the thin Isotherm Fridge possibly with some mods in that closet. I would want to measure the actual Isotherm. Maybe ROA can figure that out. Seems like a great mod for them to offer. The trailer is pretty impressive.

@@parkcitymacs my wife and were just talking about this, truma makes small 8 gallon fridge, it’s 24”L x 13.4”w x 16.7”h that might fit in that closet or maybe under the sink. It’s at least big enough for drinks

[@jhance2141]

Also the renogy batter is self heated and is fine operating from -4° up to 130°

[@mixflip]

Wow I see this like a tear drop camper on steroids. I love it.

[@deltabravo1257]

A trailer this small with a real bathroom and shower is AWESOME!

[@rmockthree]

Love the upgrades MDC has done with this trailer. Just when you think they have it dialed in they take it to the next level.

[@coddiwomplecolster7329]

This is what I wanted from the old Black Series 12. Remember them? To be able to have all this technology ready fitted with a warranty is phenomenal. Had I not bought a new unit in 2024, I surely would be considering one of these MDC trailers.

[@jasonnaparalla5142]

Anex and interior kitchen? This unit is exactly what ive been looking for. An interior fridge or the ability to access the cooler from the inside would be nice. Hope theres room for another 400ah battery somewhere. Add an aftermarket airbag system for leveling. Boom. Perfect.

[@BamafaithfulRollTide]

I love this trailer and the upgrades!

[@jamesfroese9232]

Living in Alberta, Canada, I love the interior kitchen addition and the water lines moved inside!

[@wooblebloc]

Aussie here. I got a design for ya. Basically a forward fold camper. But instead of the forward fold. It will be more like an oversized z style roof top tent set up. So you pull down some latches on one side and half will pop up. Then go around the other side and do the same so the other side pops up. Giving you a cross between a hybrid and rtt. Good thing about it is that you can have a 270 degree awning and shower tent attached to the roof.

[@moosejaw50]

Hoorah! Another Mark III trailer making it to North America. Can't wait to see the XT15 4E Mark III in NA.

[@ROAOffRoad]

In the USA we don’t call them Mark III. They are OGE (Off Grid Extreme) the specs are different too. 😊

[@icare7151]

An amber color turn indicator lights would be a nice touch.

[@joshkartchner5912]

Love this unit!

[@craigocel8159]

So v6 Tacoma 4x4 with tow package could tow this? Know previous yrs had problem with alot of sway at 55/60 mph. Just asking Tks

[@bettysauve40]

Is there a refrigerator with this model? I did not see it during the outside walk around or the inside tour. Thank you

[@jamestribol1434]

why is the sink hidden behind the work surface/cutting board???

[@ROAOffRoad]

What do you mean? Not trying to be rude, just want to understand the concern better

[@jamestribol1434]

@@ROAOffRoad the outside kitchen area...sink seems blocked by the counter.

[@ROAOffRoad]

@@jamestribol1434 it is a work surface/cutting board.

[@onefastcyclist]

The interior Kitchen is a game changer !

[@ROAOffRoad]

It is really nice to have that option!

[@craigocel8159]

Like that water lines are above floor so don't freeze but what about water tank under floor? Does it have a heat pad?

[@Steve-yo4ld]

Yes...👍

[@jasonpadgett8593]

Love it, and would love it even more if the trailer manufacturer started offering true adventure trailers with super single-style beds/bunks. Not every adventure is for couples or for couples with small children. Different bed options would be nice. Not sure why no one has filled the niche.... Every base camp-style trailer our groups have ever used has been custom for this very reason.

[@ROAOffRoad]

We are definitely hearing you on this one!

[@davidpatrick1813]

Nice review. I bet the uni coast more than $7,000. I might order one.

[@Steve-yo4ld]

Will the 16 East/West be released in the new Off Grid Extreme!?✌️ Awesome and much needed updates! Is the AC 12/24/48 volt or still 110?

[@tamipoyner9176]

I love this, but unfortunately, it's too heavy for my Jeep to pull. So hard to find a small, nice, lightweight trailer .

[@billredding2000]

I need something small -- like this -- BUT it needs to fit in a standard residential (American) 2- car garage height-wise (7 feet). This one won't. So I'm looking at something from TAXA Outdoors (Houston TX) instead. BTW, I also have a Jeep, but it's a Gladiator (Rubicon) so it can tow up to 7000lbs...it'll handle these smaller campers/TTs easily, but again it needs to be "garage-able" -- so I have limited choices. As for typical teardrops, the interior ceiling height is too low so all of those are off my Short List. An ALiner Ranger 10 would be a 3rd possibility, and that definitely is garage-able. -- BR

[@jhance2141]

My wife and I were just working with you guys on a deal and decided to wait that being said Is the 16 island going to be this treatment? If so will it be this year or in 2026??

[@ROAOffRoad]

Don’t have an exact eta. But probably late this year as. 2026 model. These units are also more expensive for the upgraded systems. If you are serious, we can for sure upgrade the 2024/2024 with similar or bigger batteries. 😊

[@jhance2141]

@ @ we’re discussing just getting this trailer the only complaint I have about it is they didn’t do a full box on the tongue like the 16 has and the wet bath but the wet bath is livable and the box can be added later

[@somejodude]

What happened to the side flip out side shelf on the outdoor kitchen? Only BIG let down on the unit. A deeper indoor sink would have been nice.

[@squirrel_82]

If you’re gonna slap “extreme” on a trailer it better be able to handle extreme off-roading and I’m not talking about a few mud puddles on a backroad either.

[@ROAOffRoad]

Depends on your definition of extreme, but we have done some fairly rocky off-roading and any of the MDCs handle fine.

[@somejodude]

Come on get real squirrel The same Caravan before they added on the extreme. The extreme is for extra solar, extra battery extra indoor stove top bigger inverter, upgraded components all around. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHupqYqcidNlmdU

[@felishagathright4013]

Beautiful

[@gregorymcfarland8413]

Is this a 24v or 48v system?

[@somejodude]

12 volt

[@toddjones1403]

Outdoor speakers??? Can that be deleted.

[@Steve-yo4ld]

Yup, to me, just another point of intrusion!👍

[@Grumpyseabee22]

They should have used Victron, lost me at Renogy...

[@ROAOffRoad]

Renogy is very reputable and the support is much better than Victron. Victron is amazing but there is nothing wrong with Renogy. We have used both products for years and don’t see much failure in either product.

[@1FiftyOverland]

What does it cost? 80k?

[@ROAOffRoad]

$65k

[@icare7151]

What is the GVWR?

[@somejodude]

WEIGHTS & RATINGS ♦ Dry weight Approx. 4340 lbs ♦ Tongue weight Approx. 375 lbs ♦ GVWR 6147 lbs ♦ Cargo Carrying Capacity Approx. 1807 lbs

[@icare7151]

@ Thank you for the data. Disappointingly heavy.

[@jeffk464]

Is it Grizzly proof, and whats the weight? Also don't tow in the snow, can't tell you how many times I've seen that go bad. Big rigs can kind of get away without because of the ground pressure of all the weight, but still a bad idea.

[@ROAOffRoad]

Never been Grizzly tested, but it's built strong enough to withstand a Grizzly. We are getting an official weight soon, but should be around 4,500-5,000 pounds dry. And yes to towing in snow, we do not recommend it but it did make for some good snow shots :)

[@conniewoods3274]

No way its grizzly proof

And the amazing price is?

[@jasonnaparalla5142]

My guess a minimum 6-10k more than the current base of 49k. So prolly near 60k

[@parisgonzalez4255]

69,500.00

[@jasonnaparalla5142]

@parisgonzalez4255 hope not. A bit pricey for something so small. 60kish is perfect

[@parisgonzalez4255]

@ that’s what they have it priced for on their site.

[@jasonnaparalla5142]

@parisgonzalez4255 roa has the 24 listed for 60k , mdc list it for 49k. So likely msrp. The upgrades aren't worth 20k. So hopefully actual price is near 60k

[@1961Duane314]

50k+ for a trailer is too pricey for me. I am not too keen about all the vender stickers either. Like a billboard on wheels. Does a buyer get advertising payments? A nice trailer but wonder who can afford this.

[@Steve-yo4ld]

What lies?

[@scottg9208]

Innovative? Not so much. Shane got all excited about the unit having Truma on board. They have been in the market for a number of years and in a lot of RV’s. Nice little camper but I would have a tough time justifying $70k for this little trailer.

[@ROAOffRoad]

Running A/C off-grid is pretty innovative for a larger manufacturer. Renogy is the newest and most cutting edge of their product they offer. Sorry it can’t fly. 😅

[@scottg9208]

[@youtoobloser]

[@parisgonzalez4255]

No Frig?????

[@jasonpadgett8593]

Assuming they are referring to a refrigerator. I believe the refrigerator is cooler style on a slide next to the outdoor kitchen. It would be much better if it was accessible from both the inside and outside of the trailer.....
