2000 Xplorer 230 XLW
This is my 2000 Xplorer 230 XLW Class B Motorhome. She's in excellent condition and includes a multitude of very desirable and costly modifications.
Located Southern California. Just shy of 65,000 original miles.
If you are not familiar, Xplorers are a rare Class B RV - the company made a handful of these vans in the 80's thru 2005 and then went belly up.
This van is pretty rare amongst Xplorers as it was considered an electric unit - came with an inverter, a 2 way fridge and electric water heater that also used the engine heat on a recirculation line from the radiator. Propane only runs the furnace and the cooktop.
Xplorers generally have the dually rear wheels, the Helwig sway bar system and a rear airbag setup for stability. The rear of the van is 9" wider than the cab, as the body slopes out and enables an E-W sleeping arrangement.
Mods to this van include:
New Pioneer stereo with Apple CarPlay & 8" screen
New MaxxAir Deluxe ventilation fan
Two new LCD TV's with swivel mounts
Playstation 4
7 New Michelin LT tires (includes spare)
New Magnum 2800 Pure Sine Inverter with Advanced Remote and BMK system
400 Watt AM Solar system with Victron BlueSolar MPPT Controller with Bluetooth dongle
4, 125 AH Stark Power LiFEPO4 (Lithium) Group 31 Batteries
New 12v water pump
All interior lights LED
Two exterior lights LED
Magnetic knife rack
All new nickel cabinet pulls
New Oxygenics shower head with shutoff
Custom shelving
New LG High Efficiency Air Conditioner
Amp-L-Start to maintain chassis battery
Stripes removed and body buffed and waxed
$35,000

Go Professional Phantom 2 Vision Case
มุมมอง 24K10 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a simple review of the Go Professional Phantom 2 Vision travel case. Hope you find it helpful in deciding which case to purchase.
We're can you go to get the charger to plug in the scooter
The unknown opening in th back is for the ALDE furnace if included.
I am confused. I thought the new assembly with the connections on it went between the valve on the main propane tank and the regulator on the propane tank so that you could connect your 20 lb tank or 30 lb tank as neededor whatever you got so that it would bypass the main tank and still feed the appliances in the RV Plus you can still connect your grill and whatever else. that's how mines hooked up
How do I replace the motor
Thanks for the video! It was nice and thorough and very helpful. Quick question you may not know the answer to. I've never bought any trailers before, so I'm not quite sure how this works. I've got a 2013 Chevy Cruze. I looked it up and I guess my max weight I can pull is 1000lbs. Would I be able to comfortably pull this trailer or should I look into something else? Thanks for any help you can give me!
I think it would be borderline - the trailer empty weights 800-900 lbs. If you traveled extremely light, you might make it OK on flat-lands. I think for any type of trailer, you might want to upgrade your Cruze to something like an Equinox or other small SUV.
@wincrasher2007 Thanks for getting back to me! I figured as much but I wanted to ask somebody more knowledgeable.
Where did you get the propane fireplace?
do you know if it is possible to replace the battery on this at all, can’t find battery replacements on their website
I think it comes out. finding a replacement will be tough.
wincrasher2007 found some on ebay, just hard to do since the only options you have are to buy ones with xt60 plugs on the battery which limits your choices a lot or to manual strip the wires and swap them out which is difficult for someone who isn’t very educated in this field or how to do it myself like at all. thank you for the reply though, helped me out a lot. earned my sub :)!!
Were you able to end up replacing it? I’m in the same situation
Where can I get a tire and tube for this bike
where do you get a bag for this grill
Seats are comfortable
Why are the e bike scooters in China so much better? I wish they sold them here in the States
I found a flaw/defect in the extend-a-stay hose check valve. Under low back pressure, propane will leak out the end of the hose.
Wish I had a dollar every time you say Ahm ah ahm ahm ahm ahm
I wish I had a dollar for every idiot that posted something stupid.
The "accessory hose" does indeed have a shrader valve in the end to prevent leakage when not connected.
Hello, I have the same grill and I did searched everywhere online and local stores for a griddle and I am not able to find one to fit the grill size. Yours looks so great ! Would you please list the web site or store where you purchased yours from? please? Thank you

Nice review of it. How much did you pay for it? I am looking at a used one on the market for $8,900 obo
8:49 I'm 105 pounds, that's really creepy, but where I live it's pretty hilly so this should work well.
Here in China not allowed to take the bike inside the apartment because it's make a fire they said
Awesome review!
As I would like to use my electric motorbike I unfortunately had to sell it. Here in the state of New York those electric scooters are prohibited and can not be used because the DMV can not register the truth that those laws are stupid but it is the reality here in this state. .
seriously people have no idea what these vans bring. just the after market stuff alone is worth more many Class C's! You should have started at 40k. somebody would have probably paid that!
*worth more than a whole class c RV!
Thanks! I wanted to be reasonable and find a person that would really enjoy the van and geek out over all the tech I did.
This van is sold! Thanks for your interest. I'll leave the video up for those folks interested in Xplorers. FWIW, I got my full asking price.
Someone should repost this video with all the ums and uhs edited out
um, why?
wincrasher2007... it, uh, hurts my um... brain.
obviously, that is, um, impossible!
Close caption no ums
Hi Wincrasher: I wasn't thinking of an Xplorer (I've been looking at newer models, or even converting my own), but the upgrades you've made are appealing. I haven't been able to find MPG data; what have you been getting with this? Thanks!
these get 12-15 mpg depending on your driving style. Generally I run 60-65 on the interstate.
How many hours can you run the A/C off the inverter/battery bank at night? (Assuming a max. battery bank draw-down to 20%) Am I correct in assuming that the panels can support the A/C load during the day if pretty sunny? Please advise, and thanks.
I figure that the battery bank could run the AC for 3-4 hours. These are safe to run down to 10%. If you draw the pack down to 75-80%, recharging on solar in a single day is no problem. Here in California, I don't run the air conditioner much at all, so it's mostly microwave, coffee pot and the instant pot.
Thank you sir. That sounds like a reasonable length of run time, especially for your environment.
I'm running a test right now. With the AC on the inverter, running 72 degrees in eco mode, I'm seeing shy of 60 amps (including the refrigerator) on the Magnum display. Once it starts to cycle, load should drop 1/3 to 1/2. We'll see how long it can go, but I suspect 6-7 hours might be doable.
After 5 hours, the battery was at 78%. Very impressed with the results.
Impressive indeed. This test was done during the day and with full sun?
Do the seats swivel?
Yes
Hello there. I have the same van and a TH-cam channel. I did a short video pointing people to your craigslist. Of course if this is a problem let me know when I can take the video down, and I will certainly take it down when your ad is no longer posted. Take care and good luck.
Thanks Steve! I'm a fan of yours and have commented on some of your videos.
what is the asking price
click on "show more" - it's at the bottom
Yeah, I did click show more first. A Queen bed is 60"x80". Are you suggesting that bed is more than 80" across? I'm 6'4" in my bare feet...I'm looking for a class B that I can stand in without bumping my head or having to sleep in the fetal position...but I don't think it exists...I was hoping on your wide body...
I know of no vans that will accomodate 6'4" or more headroom, other than the Super High Roof Sprinters which are now out of production. Here's a link to the Xplorer Spec Sheet - it says interior height is 6' 1" and the width is 88". Like I said, I put a queen sheet on the bed - the topper I ordered was for a queen and I didn't cut it down except the notches for the rear corners. drive.google.com/file/d/0B-6s9vclxgXjMHN3Vjg4cmRMOFE/view
I really wanted to find a turnkey solution but I guess I'm going to have to build out a cargo van. The high roof Ford Transits have 81.5" of vertical space in the back, so even with an inch or more of flooring and insulation, plus a couple inches of insulation on the ceiling, I should be good to go there without bumping my head. I'll have to have a front to back bed though, since the Transit is much more narrow than your van...wow..88" across! Too bad it wasn't a few inches taller, you made some very good mods...love the lithium battery setup. Good luck with the sale...you shouldn't have any problems.
Looks very nice...good upgrades...where is this van located? What is the standing height in the van? What is the width of the bed in back?
Click "show more" for more info. It's located in Southern California - near Temecula. Think the height is 6' 2" inside. The bed is bigger than a queen, but I use a queen sheet on it and it fits.
Question, is there anyway to add pegs so I can ride with a 2nd person??
Yeah I think its possible because it has some screws in the bottom where normally would be the pegs for the passenger..So I think you can buy them aftermarket and install them and you are good
How's it holding up?
Very nice drone footage. I haven't been to the Alabama Hills yet. Will get there in November/December.--Christine, San Diego.
Grey tank look black, black tank look grey.
Although this ebike has all these features and looks great and all the battery life sucks .. Mine on a full charge just work for a good 30 minute ride then back to a 6 hour recharge
One regulator is enough
True, and that's what he was saying. There is one is on the RV and this one is for the campfire... :)
Too much work why not look under your trailer and find the T and take off the cap on the T and add a propane quick disconnect
varry nice bike iwant to purchese /price declyere /jaihind jaibharat
thanks for the vid. sweet shop & van
I'm about 138 pounds. This scooter would work for me.
mrk107 you will absolutely fly on this bike with your weight!
I'm 119lbs. 5'9 I'm supposed to be 150. I stronger than average though.
evey time he says um or ah take a drink ----you will not survive till the end of the video
I just um, he didn't um, take um Toastmasters um...
insanely overpriced compared to what you get for same money with conventional trailer
Do you even get what these are all about? Good luck pulling your conventional trailer 10 miles up a logging road.
I love it I'll take ten of them
How is it holding up 2 years later? I am planning on getting one used...
Great review! What is the 12V amp hour power consumption on the refrigerator?
will this grill work on my home's low pressure system and where is the best place to get the adapter to pipe on deck?
Propane gas appliances in american homes and RVs usually operate at 11" wc pressure. So for me, yes I could add a connector to my home LP system and use this on the patio.
what size of Stanley tool box is that and where did you get it?

wincrasher2007 thanks, I think that's a perfect solution for my new Travato.
Love this video! Watching 2 years + later and just bought a 2017.5 Travato 59K. What are you into now? Thanks also for your blog.
