Default 30 days on the road with my 08 Jeep Rubicon

The Top Down Tour (ok sometimes top up)
We left Pennsylvania on August 1,2008 in our 2008 Jeep Rubicon pulling a T@B trailer. We will be returning home around Labor Day. Check out our travel blog at www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Mike-and-Susie/
We did two off road jeeping trails,one in California and one in Moab.
Beware of the Nevada :( entry it may make you cry..........I guess some FJ or Hummer did not like my jeep!

We did a similar trip in our Jeep a few years ago... 20 states in four weeks... stayed at many KOAs. Can you post some pictures inside the T@B? Curious to see which floor plan you chose.

Happy trails! I've done one- and two-weekers, but not 30 days. Have fun!

Great blog.
Great trip.
I'm curious to hear your comments on the trailer, and see some pics of it.
I have to do a trip like this. Looks like tons of fun!

Default The T@B trailer

The T@B trailer did great !. It has a kitchen in the back , a queen size bed and plenty of storage. The AC worked great even in AZ with 111 degree temps. We bought it used on craig's list and I have also seen them on ebay. The big advantage over a pop up is that there is no set-up time. The JK towed great the only complaint was that with a six speed I was in and out of 4-5-6 gear alot.
We got our T@B just for this trip and may be putting her up for sale on ebay or craig's list........
