We ended up ripping off one of the front stabilizer jacks and the steps on a recent trip. Battery Installation - My dealer, a major RV dealer, installed mismatched batteries in the trailer, and wired them improperly. The second thing that we like about the Taxa Mantis is that the bunks in the front are technically wide enough for an adult to sleep. When we take the Taxa Mantis camping without him, we have these configured as a couch. It would be a huge plus and probably inexpensive to address from the start, especially since we aren't talking about being able to hook up a second trailer, rather carry a few bikes or a cargo rack.

Caulk at the joint between the seal plates (a vertical gap) was not adequate, there was a pinhole in the curb side joint which allowed water to get in while driving - AND I'm not sure if the gap was caulked before the Velstick was added, and if it was not, then the "dam" created by the seal-plate flanges could be compromised under the Velstick.

On the first issue with the brake controller, Joe was initially told it wouldn't be until November 2019, which was before they could even look at it (and this occurred at the end of July 2019). The dealer said that a lot of people put the bikes inside the trailer. In order to free up that extra room, TAXA has added a new birch plywood and powder-coated steel open shelving unit.

There is a significant gap under the plate at this corner, which was visible due to inadequate caulking allowing me to see under the plate. Whats more, TAXA fitted the Mantis with an 8,000 BTU AC specifically optimized to cool the cabin. Some circumstances aligned, including a 2018 Mantis being sold quite a bit cheaper due to 2019 models coming out, so I did it. Incorrect rivets were used on the interior trim pieces.

If after youve toured a lot of brands you feel theyre all good, you simply arent looking close enough.Im sure Taxa isnt perfect either, but at least 3 out of 3 trailers of theirs I went through didnt have immediately obvious design and/or construction flaws that couldnt be fixed unless you replaced parts. The downside was that Taxa neglected to provide any instructions and forgot to include the silicone sealant that was needed. Now let's get back to the water pump issue.

My opinion is: it would be fine to sell the Mantis with a shelf/perch by the door - perhaps designed for a specific model overlanding fridge, but which can accommodate the buyer's choice of fridge - including even a plain Coleman ice-chest. It is a good question and one Joe hopes to be able to address in the future. We have had the repair completed, but no heavy rain yet to test out the repair under real world conditions. Not just in all the wild places we explore in our mobile human habitats, but it the impact we create with every habitat we manufacture as well. This isn't TAXA's fault but for such a high-end trailer this is kind of sad. We haven't really used the sink yet, but it is a good back up or if you are just boiling water. This means that if you have a service issue, you better be ready to take time off of work to be able to get anything done. We do caution about setting this up in windy conditions: do NOT try to put up the awning in high winds.

If the gasket had been installed with a tighter turn radius in the corners (moving the gasket further away from the opening) I think it would have worked well enough. Cold would turn pump on and off The ARB instructions even state this to avoid potentially damaging the awning. Right now the Mantis is more setup to add a generator, but adding a possible full solar array configuration would give everyone an option to suit their needs.

This assumes they have some success, that they actually have meaningful margin in their products, which I have no idea if they do. It has a shower and a bathroom, technically called a wet bath, where they are combined into a single space. Second visit (1 week): TAXA sent new Velstick, a new (updated) roof gasket, a pair of latches (different than the interior latches), new Bomar compartment door, and updated AC Shroud.

We opted not to get a toilet in our Taxa Mantis, but the unit still had the door that would be used to remove the cassette so you could empty it. During heavy rains, we ended with a waterfall going down the door. We looked at it and there is a gap that is getting bigger over time. Since we don't use this door it can't really be user error.

If this piece was added to the trailer, it allows the buyer to have their choice of solar panel and allows the option of adding on a solar array. However, it either needs to have a big enough battery bank or we need to not run power sucking appliances at night (like the AC). Overall evaluation of the Water Infiltration Retrofit Experience (*disclaimer* this is my opinion): The design of the retrofit kit is lacking, specifically the way the corners are cut-down. It also has hot/cold water exterior shower. Otherwise, all the bumps in the road has to go some place and we think the rivets begin to pop after they have been stressed to the breaking point. - and of course that water soaked everything at the rear of the trailer. I have really liked the Mantis in the past. It had a very innovative design already, and then they just upped the game. The Mantis is an unusually shaped trailer that features large windows and a pop top, much like one of those VW vans of the 1970s.

So the energy is transferred up and to the frame of the trailer, eventually something has to give. Bulky welds on seal plates - the cut-down corners on the seal plates leave little room to attach the Velstick. On this note, if would be nice if the water tank and the grey water tank came with some type of protection or skip plate to prevent damage from rough roads. Incorrect Velstick installation - Full height strips were installed all the way to the corners, rather than stopping where the flange steps down and using "cut down" pieces for the shorter flanges in the corners.
