2017 VRV Flyer Teardrop Trailer: Sold Pending Funds 9/1/2019

This is the perfect small family trailer for someone who likes to camp off of forest roads and do light off-roading with a trailer. Trailer has a 7 pin connector with electric brakes. With the included awning and room you can sleep 4. Solar ready with a controller installed. You just need to add your favorite panel. The trailer has minor pin striping along with a couple of minor dents from off-road trail use.

Why Am I Selling? -
My wife won't let me have 3 trailers in the garage (One reason)
I want to buy a more robust off-road teardrop. This has been a great trailer. It is very comfortable. It is super comfortable if you are traveling solo and set up the bed in couch mode. I just require something which can go on more difficult trails. It has lots of interior storage. Find your camping spot and go to bed. No setup required for 2! A rear Add-A-Room tent is also available for around $350. Trailer has the upgraded MaxAir vent fan with remote control.

You can comfortably take this trailer on any of the popular trails in the west. All of the BDR Routes like AZ, UT, ID. Most of Death Valley, The Mohave Road, El Camino Del Diablo, 99% of Anza-Borrego. I want to buy a more robust off-road teardrop which allows me to go on know trails like the AZ Peace trail which has sections I wouldn't take the VRV on and unknown 4x4 trails. If you are more of an Overlander vs an Off-Roader this is an amazing trailer for a great price.

The trailer has been modified with a more stout 3500lb UCF Torsion axle (Same design as Turtleback Trailers) with larger 30” Hankook tires. A brand new 2200 lb Dexter axle with factory rims & tires is included in the sale. The UCF axle design raised the height of the trailer about 6”. Both are an improvement to the original 1600 lb factory axle. A spindle failed on the original axle so I opted to install something better. The UCF axle can be modified to accept Jeep or Toyota style hubs to match your vehicle. The Dexter cannot.

Other Included Modifications:

  • 48” UBG Locking Tongue Box
  • 11 lb propane tank holder and jerrycan holder to the driver side step. Tank included
  • 5 gallon jerry can holder for fuel or water.
  • Smittybilt straight awning with ARB room to passenger side of the trailer
  • Added a awning rail to the driver side roof. Pictured DIY Awning for drivers side is not included. OZ Tent Caravan Connector piece is. An OZ Tent can also connect with its built in awning roof to the driver side of the trailer
  • Added a Bluesea Fuseblock and a SAE power port to the driver side of the trailer.
  • Added 12 volt plug to the exterior driver side storage compartment
  • Added SAE 12 volt power port to drive side of trailer to power devices
  • Larger Duracell Deep Cycle 93 ah battery installed early 2019 (great to run a refrigerator)
  • ArkPak XO Jack. If the trailer needs to be winched out of a spot this jack can handle it.
  • Larger fenders added to accommodate 30” tires and new axle design
  • Lock-N-Roll full articulating hitch. Traditional ball mount can be included if desired
  • Aircraft style anchors to secure gear under the bed area

Original bed/couch cushions included along with a more comfortable 5” custom memory foam and latex mattress. The Internal drawer was removed to provide a larger storage area for tables and chairs under the bed. A 20 gallon water tank can also fit in this area. This was a better use of space for me. 2 internal doors removed to provide better access to stored gear. All original parts are available if the new owner wishes to re-install them. I would be willing to help with this if required.

Similar to this model which is listed at $11,900 - 2019 Vrv Vrv Flyer For Sale in Conway, AR - RV Trader and this one 2018 Vrv Vrv Flyer For Sale in Conway, AR - RV Trader VRV is no longer in business but their designs are very similar to what InTech RV currently offers. It is my understanding that InTech used to license the VRV designs.

Minor Work To Do:
The new fenders need to be powder coated and the lift pistons for the rear door need to be replaced. I am willing to sell as is for a few hundred less or complete these projects.

Happy to answer any questions. Discuss pros and cons to other trailers. Trailer located in SE Phoenix. Always stored in a garage.

Fenders are now different. They are wider and have better mounting brackets. OEM was simply screwed into the sidewall.

A fellow OB member asked for the dimensions of the trailer. With the modified axle it is about 6" taller than what is in these drawings. Around 86" tall including the max air fan on top. The fan is about 3.5-4" tall. With the modified axle and larger tires it will not fit inside of a standard 7' door unless you aired down the tires and tilted the trailer. Meaning you jack the front up high to get the back in and then do the reverse. Not ideal but I have done that with other trailers. My current home has tall garage doors.

Overall width is about 84" with the tires.

Factory tires have less than 1000 miles on them. No spare. Installed rims and tires on the right with a spare.

Thanks,
Chris

Here are a few interior pictures and the new fenders which still need to be powder coated.
