Don't have my yet (but ordered) I'll be using our 2013 Rubicon AEV equipped (non hemi) I just installed a Gobi rack the other day. A bit of a project working with AEV's rear bumper (extra parts for this instal) plus working with fuel catty, water, backup camera with stop lite, working single...

From what I have learned you will need ground power or a portable generator (Honda 2000) in order to run your AC unit.

Congratulations to both the seller and buyer....had I not had a SoCal teardrop on order I too would have gone for it.

And I have to spend the rest of the year still sleeping on the ground, Grrrr!! We don't want to rent as we are going all out on the XS build. I was thinking about seeing if I could switch to one of the other builders, but their booked into October so I might as well wait until our Feburary...

There has been some talk about the hinge on the Moby1 galley door leaking when it rains and the corrections that were made. But now I want to ask, has anyone had any water leak issues with their SoCal TD?

From what I have found out about the AC unit you have listed, is that you will need a generator, like a Honda 2000 or ground power. At least this is what I found out talking to Canyon Country TD. But you might give any of the SoCal builders a call. I don't think I'll go that direction, just to...

Mike, we live in La Quinta, CA next time we head to Tucson too visit the grandkids I may give you a holler. In the meantime if you have any pictures of your upgraded kitchen and roof rack set up you would be able to post, it would be great to see what you have done, as we are still adding to our...

Just what to say Thank's for all the postings. It's really helpful to a "Newbie" when it comes to this mode of adventure travel. With all the information I have picked up here...our TD will be really COOL!!

I to would be interested in knowing what length ARB awning is being used as I just bought a ARB 2500 and received it before my Gobi rack that is going on the JKUR, so it's still new in the box. Now that we're getting a teardrop I'm thinking maybe I should see if I can send it back for the 2000...

Thanks Chris, That is very helpful information and the pictures are great!! Is there a reason why you picked the six round roof fan over the larger one? And does it move enough air? Are their any other changes you would make if you were doing your build again? We are trying to get it as close to...

The wife and I were out on some mild dirt roads today and I was thinking about having the trailer in tow. That's when I started wondering if the the krawler 459 being 6" less in width might be a better fit behind the JKU any comments? I know the wife wants to have the queen size bed but is...

Now long ago did you schedule your build with Canyon Country? I'm having to wait until Janurary for SoCal to start our build. The waiting game is hard when faced with tent camping all summer. However we did get a bigger tent and a queen size air bed off the ground so I guess we'll just to tuff...

I was asked today if I wanted the flipper doors in the galley. Do you guys have the door on the sides of the pass through. I'm wondering if they might take away from needed storage depth or help secure items. Any experience with this area? Again this is in the galley not cabin, that will be a...

Has anyone given thought to the water tank freezing up if your out camping in low temp's

Thank you both! We are really excited about our new adventure with the jeep and TD.
