They are not coming off the walls, the bottoms are sagging down. Adding screws makes them much stronger than they were when built. It just makes sense that even when fixed, there should be some discretion on how much weight is carried in them. Especially off-road. 50 pounds of canned goods...

I have a lot of respect for Pause. They have the right intentions and the resources to back it up with a quality product. But I just can't get past the, sort of, rudimentary outcome of their endeavors, and the lingering legacy of the Indiana trailer history. The frames are a crude design...

Well, I'm not affiliated with ROA, but I know they had a lot of R1s on order when I got mine and each time I've been back there, there has been been a list of people waiting, more trailers on the lot and in the shop getting upgrades. ROA is the only dealer for Roamer1. Over on Xplore Trailer...

ROA is holding off until Imperial fixes a few things on the X195 and Roamer1 trailers. Possibly the X145 too. There are four points of concern. 1. Better fridge venting. (easy with a fan). 2. Better inverter ventilation. (fan and controller to ventilate under the bed). 3. Strengthen the...

Looking forward to seeing your blog. Keep me in the loop.

Very interesting that the disc brakes and air suspension are considered options. Huh? Do they have a cheaper model without air suspension and disc brakes? The solar cost seems reasonable considering it has eleven glass panels divided into three systems, with three controllers, and has all the...

Imperial is known for "overlooking" things, or "making mistakes", or "not understanding" with their build quality. And they are known for resisting repairs in some cases. So, if you are willing to work on the trailer if needed, and fix what needs fixing, it might be worth the risk of the...

I'm 6'2" and get by pretty well in my Roamer1. The shower is a bit low, but not a problem and it has a bench if I want to sit down. I've never had a trailer that I could stand up straight in the shower. Charging $2,500. for a PDI seems like a total rip off. I consider it the dealer's...

👍

Those prices are amazingly low. I'm surprised they charge for the pre-delivery inspection. Never heard of that. I wonder how much?

Jen, I too am a big fan of a tow vehicle and trailer. Overall, I really like the R1. But I have come to the conclusion that all trailers have problems. Not enough to stop us from having fun, necessarily, but none of them are perfect. The R1 has had a few problems during its initial release...

And, if anything, it is actually stronger under the tongue as it is not hanging on the bolts that way. But in extreme conditions, it might get dragged on the ground. Also, if mounting it under the tongue also lowers the receiver side to match, the backup camera might not see the receiver. In...

Enjoy. And be sure to post some pix.

You probably have minimal sag with your dually. How is the hitch arranged? Is it the Australian style that bolts on? If so, you can even look at bolting it on underneath the tongue if that helps. I've had mine both on top and below in my search for the best compromise. It is supposed to be...

Tree, Nice pix. We just had a similar experience at Big Dune, 100 miles north of Las Vegas. I really like camping out in the open, in the beautiful High Desert, instead of organized parks.
