In order to remove the water heater from an XV-3 with a slide out galley, 1. Pull the slide out, 2. Disconnect the water lines and the gas line from the bottom of the heater, 3. Remove the top cover from the front box (there are 20 screws holding the cover to the box) 4. Remove the four screws...

I too have had a lot of trouble with the water heater. I have an XV-3 with the slide out galley. It came with the Camp Chef Triton 5 liter water heater. I took delivery in September, 2018. Almost immediately after I picked it up, the water heater sprang an internal leak because one of the...

Superpanga, Do you have the deluxe slide-out galley? If so, you simply remove the 18 countersunk screws holding the cover on the galley box. Once you've removed the cover, and extended the slides, you will see all of the gas and water lines (and some of the electrical lines). If you don't...

I have had my XV-3 with the deluxe pull out galley for about three years. In that time, the Camp Chef 5 liter Trident water heater has sprung leaks three times. The first two times, the problem was a loose fitting inside the water heater. The first time, I left the water heater in place, took...

Because of the pandemic, I last used my XV-3 trailer in January. It has been parked in my garage since March. But I'm getting ready to go camping on Labor Day weekend. I think I need to flush and disinfect the water system. I vaguely remember something about using swimming pool chlorine to...

That’s NOT right! I can fill my water tank in 3 or 4 minutes from a garden hose and the pump drains the tank in about 12 to 15 minutes. If you’re sure the fill line is not kinked, the vent line might be kinked or obstructed. To test my theory, open the drain valve on the bottom of the tank and...

Only a couple of XVenture trailers camping at Overland Expo West?? They have a nice picture of an XV-2 on the Expo West web page. https://www.overlandexpo.com/west

Who is bringing an XVenture trailer to Overland Expo West? I’m bringing my XV-3.

No, I have not tried folding the annex and putting it inside the tent before folding it or putting it on the outside after folding the tent. I have folded the tent with my sleeping bag inside and so long as I carefully tuck in the tent side material when I fold the tent, I have no problem...

The XV-3 slide out galley is a factory option. I ordered it last Spring but it wasn’t ready until September. My dealer (99 West Trailers) told me I had the first production model of the slide out galley.

I took my XV-3 to the 2019 Quartfest ham radio convention in Quartzsite, AZ last month. Since I was base camping for the whole week, I set up the annex room on my CVT Mt. Shasta Summit tent. Because of its weight and bulk, I don't set up the annex room if I'm only camping for one night. I...

I pulled the trigger and put down a deposit on an XV-3 at Overland Expo West. Although they had one available for immediate delivery, I want to wait for the optional galley, so I expect to take delivery in a few weeks.

I respectfully disagree. The reason for using 10 gauge wire is not because of the load, it is to reduce the voltage drop between the battery and the fridge when the engine is not running. As kentoe said in the first post, the fridge runs fine on the non ACC cigarette lighter plug (which I...

I would not count on having enough water for a motorized boat trip between Horseshoe Lake and Sheeps Bridge unless you go pretty soon. Although the lake may be five miles long when full, the lake currently is at 55% capacity. The Verde River Guide that you referenced in an earlier post says...
