We’re listing for sale our 2018 Patriot X1GT camper trailer. As much as we love this incredible off-road machine we just can’t justify letting it sit in storage for the next five or so years patiently awaiting our return from travel abroad. Plus...freeing up some cash could obviously help when it comes to shipping and travel expenses.
Factory Options and Specifications
Aftermarket Options and Equipment
We're not experts on the differences between model years, but we are aware that Patriot changes things from one model year to the next. For example 2018 (our year) was the first to offer the Redarc TVMS, an Australian-made tent, a different ladder, and a redesigned kids room. It's also important to note that the GT package included things that in 2021 are now options - like the air suspension. So, we thought it would be beneficial to compare ours to a new X1 using the PDF Brochure on Exploration Outfitter's website. Which should clarify any discrepancies in configuration between the 2021 X1 and our 2018 X1GT. In other words, if you want to best approximate our '18 with a 2021 here's how you'd order it...
We bought our X1GT knowing that we would use it (not abuse though) as intended. Ours has traversed numerous backcountry discovery routes, spent weeks in remote parts of Death Valley, easily completed the standard bucket list routes (like the Mojave trail), and followed our trucks through some of Moab's and Sedona's more mild trials. You can tell that it's not a brand new trailer but its "turnkey" and can be taken into the backcountry tomorrow.
Here's how you can tell its not brand new... the tent's canvas proudly refuses to let go of every last bit of red dust from its time in Utah and Arizona. It's not bad by any means but the canvas is not factory fresh. If you look in the stitched seams you'll find traces of Sedona colored dirt. There's also just a little bit of the silt from the dry lakebed in the Alvord Desert in some of the hard to reach cracks and crevices. We've cleaned it a few times, but don't want to get too aggressive and compromise the waterproofing of the canvas.
Its graphite and black powder coat still looks great, but on closer inspection there are a few surface scratches caused by branches and brush. Heres a photo of some of the scratches...
Next... On the rear corner (curb side) there are some chips in the powder coat from the awning pole. But, the good news it that the trailer body is aluminum - so you don't need to worry about rust. The following image shows the damage on the rear corner.
Also... Our black tent cover is without zipper. It's technically broken, but at this point we would run it without a zipper even if we had everything replaced. There are a few Patriots out there that have also gone zipper-free and the downsides are pretty minimal - a little dust will get under the cover in very dusty environments, but that's about it. We've had it out on the interstate in a downpour with no water ingress whatsoever. The next photo shows the aluminum channel where the lower zipper originally lived.
