Is the MAX Flyer Plus and the Pursue the same thing?
A year ago, almost to the day on post 139, Rich mentions:
You can put a roof top tent on the MAX Flyer PLUS, the tent we use is a 23ZERO and they have an extension that fits on the standard ladder (making it a three-piece ladder) allowing it to reach the ground. The annex will not touch the ground though, so that's a bit of a bummer.
You are hearing correctly from Dreadlocks, he has the Discover (one of the lucky ones to get one before it was discontinued...that's another story). We used to offer a roof top tent, but we didn't sell many and it became cumbersome to handle the product the few times we got orders for them...the only advantage to us offering at the time was he ability for the customer to finance it all together making it a real minor bump to the monthly payment and picking up all the extra sleeping room (which kids love). We used the 23Zero Litchfield, but any roof top tent that supports half the weight on the access ladder should work fine. They will work on all of our models (Chase, Pursue & Explore), the Explore needs an extension ladder which 23Zero offers. We loved the 23Zero tent, it was high quality, but there are other high quality tents as well.
The axle as Dreadlocks stated (thanks for catching these questions by the way), is a Dexter torsion axle, we don't use a spring axle on any of the inTech products (RV, motorsports or industrial), Dexter is actually one of our absolute best vendors and their customer service is top-shelf to say the least. The torsion axle is a pretty cool design and works so well on our products, no leaf springs to be damaged or rust and fall apart. Some guys like leaf spring axles (especially livestock trailer guys) because they understand how it works and they can do the repairs easily themselves. The think is the torsion axle really doesn't have any maintenance or repairs that are needed aside from making sure your wheel bearings are greased properly and your brakes are adjusted properly.
Now, the models and how they've changed...as Dreadlocks stated, the products are, for the most part, unchanged, but the names changed because there were several other manufacturers that were using the nomenclature "XLT" and "MAX" and we wanted to eliminate the confusion. So our XLT because the Chase, The MAX became the Pursue (and is now available with or without the slideout kitchenette), the XLT PLUS (no kitchenette) and MAX PLUS (kitchenette standard) are not called Explore (available with or without the slideout kitchenette). The Adventure Series became the Discover and is now discontinued. That's it in a nutshell. Please let me know if you have any other questions...for the quickest response, drop me an email at
