Building a trailer that could withstand sub zero temps was not just a nice feature, it was an absolute must. Imperial Outdoors started out making fish houses for ice fishermen in northern Wisconsin. The roof is 6.5″ thick and the walls are 3.5″ thick! Most trailer will have a 2″ thick roof and 1″ thick walls. We can honestly say that nothing comes close to the insulation and extreme weather capabilities of the Xplore trailers. We have seen every travel trailer, fifth wheel and motor home out there.

You hear all the time that a trailer is ‘4 season’ or has a so called ‘thermal package’. Instead of having to jack from the axle using a bottle jack, you can use the handy Hi-Lift that the Xplore is equipped with to jack the trailer from the frame.įor more details on the frame construction watch our video with the owner of Imperial Outdoors This also becomes very useful in the event of a flat tire. We get into some tricky spots when we go camping, probably more often that we should, so the perimeter frame on the Xplore has been a game changer.

With the perimeter frame you will have the peace of mind that your frame is the outer most edge, standing strong to protect your trailer. Just like a house is built right on the foundation, not a foot past it! With the perimeter frame that Imperial Outdoors builds the Xplore on, the body of the trailer does not extends past the frame, but is built right on top of it. This design greatly increases the risk of body damage ( especially in an off-road scenario) and increases stress on the body over time. The walls are not secured by the frame, but by gussets attached to the frame. If you look at any travel trailer, you will notice the body actually extends past the frame about 12 inches. Whether you are looking into purchasing an Xplore X22 or XR22, or maybe you already own one, this post will cover all the fundamentals of the trailer.
