We spend a lot of time in remote and developed campsites around America, often peering with interest through the window of our compact Land Rover Defender camper at the many ways Americans choose to travel. Everything from humble tents to enormous fifth wheels is represented, with tents generally farther off the beaten track and fifth wheels closer to civilization. Every now and then, though, we encounter a full-size pickup towing a 10,000-pound trailer along trails seemingly better suited to Jeeps. Some people, hunters in particular, will go to considerable lengths to find solitude. The Roamer X seems suited to a well-heeled couple seeking the comforts of civilization without the company of other civilians.
ROA Off-Road has introduced the Roamer X, an American-built travel trailer combining 25.8 kilowatt-hours of lithium battery storage, 3,160 watts of solar capacity, air suspension, and residential amenities. Designed around a private bedroom for two, it targets couples seeking extended stays away from campground hookups.
Buyers choose a king bed or split singles when ordering. The king-bed layout includes elevated storage compartments on either side, while the split-single configuration incorporates a laundry chute. Doors provide bedroom privacy, and supplied bedding includes a mattress, pillows, sheets, blankets, and a custom Minky Couture blanket.
The living area features leather recliners with power ports, flexible tables for dining or working, an electric fireplace, and a 4K projector with a pull-down screen. A separate television is mounted in the bedroom. An onboard vacuum and floor dustpan are practical additions for a trailer intended to spend time on dusty routes.
Cooking equipment includes an induction stove, air fryer, deep sink, and Furrion dishwasher. The exterior kitchen adds a drawer refrigerator and griddle. A Magma nesting induction cookware set and supplied tableware reduce the equipment buyers need to assemble before departure.
A midship bathroom incorporates a shower with a sliding door and additional upper storage. The water system includes Guzzle H2O equipment and triple filtration, with separate 30-gallon gray- and black-water tanks. ROA also lists a Starlink installation with a 12-volt conversion, although the supplied information does not clarify whether hardware or service is included.
Exterior equipment includes pass-through storage, MOLLE panels, keyless entry, amber-and-white lighting, and Mopeka propane sensors. A pet-safe door screen, personal safe, and first-aid kit are also listed.
The electrical system is a defining feature. Expion360 lithium batteries provide a listed 2,160 amp-hours, or 25.8 kilowatt-hours, of storage, while dual 3,000-watt Victron inverters support the simultaneous operation of multiple appliances. ROA says the system can run the air conditioners, air fryer, and a hair dryer together. Actual operating time will depend on appliance loads and charging conditions.
Solar capacity comprises 1,400 watts on the roof, 960 watts integrated into the 15-foot Girard awning, and 800 watts from portable briefcase panels. Reaching the advertised 3,160-watt total therefore requires deploying both the awning and portable panels. An onboard generator provides another charging source, with a 7,000-watt Honda generator offered as an upgrade. The supplied specifications do not identify the standard generator’s output.
According to ROA, an Anderson connection installed on the tow vehicle can provide up to 50 amps of charging while driving. Installation is included among the Founders Edition benefits. The package also includes a powered cord reel and a 50-amp shore-power cord.
Climate control equipment includes two 18,000-BTU Furrion Chill Cube air conditioners, one serving the living area and the other the bedroom. An AquaHot Wave 40 furnace and water heater provides a listed 34,000 BTU of heating, including forced-air heating in the underbelly, along with continuous-flow hot water. ROA markets the trailer for four-season use, although the supplied information does not establish a tested minimum operating temperature.
The chassis combines a MorRyde Huck-riveted aluminum frame, MorRyde air suspension with a claimed 12 inches of travel, and a fully articulating MorRyde ball hitch. Fiberglass walls incorporate a foam insulation barrier, and the interior uses aluminum cabinetry. The 12-inch brake drums are larger than the 10-inch drums ROA identifies on previous Pause models.
Gross vehicle weight rating is 11,000 pounds. Final dry weight has yet to be determined, but ROA expects it to exceed 9,000 pounds. That would leave less than 2,000 pounds for water, supplies, and other cargo. Filling the 65-gallon freshwater tank alone adds approximately 542 pounds, making final production weights, loaded tongue weight, and tow-vehicle payload important considerations.
Built by Pause exclusively for ROA, the Roamer X starts at $199,995 for the first 25 Founders Edition unitfexteriors. These trailers include additional equipment and ownership benefits that ROA values at $24,500, including an Infinity shower, exterior rock lights, installation of the tow vehicle’s Anderson connection, a rear bike receiver, an under-sink Guzzle filter, and a $2,000 credit toward ROA-installed upgrades.
