Tips for Xplore Cv X8 owners
- Utilise the 650kg payload for heavy items to keep the living area clear.
- Make use of the rear lounge for daytime relaxation to maximise the 5.99m floor plan.
- Regularly inspect the GRP outer skin for any signs of impact damage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by over-utilising the 650kg payload.
- Neglecting to winterise the Truma Combi system during storage.
