Built at the SoCal factory in 2012 as a 5'x11' "Cal-Deluxe" with the off-road package
Additions:
- Off Road "Extreme" Package with 31" heavy-duty, off-road tires and wheels (extended tongue, articulating hitch, upgraded shocks, high clearance welded fenders).
Fender mounted welded and powder coated spare tire rack - ultra strong and completely custom to this trailer and tire/wheel setup, by SoCal in 2020.
Heavy-duty Roof Rack - Aluminum load bars and tig welded stainless towers
Heavy duty welded and powder coated awning mount system, two awnings available for separate purchase (Original Hannibal and/or NEW Alu Cab 270 awning)
AC/Heater ready and fully welded aluminum custom Honda EU2000 generator box - this box is INCREDIBLE - fully TIG welded and custom made by SoCal Teardrops - no longer offered.
19 gal Water Tank with 12v pump and quick connect sprayer (of shower head)
Fuel can mounts with 2 - 2gal Rotopax cans, one diesel, one water.
Fully removable articulating tongue included (if required).
70W Box mounted solar panel
Custom NoCo 120V AGM/LiFEPO charger
100AH battery
Upgraded bluetooth stereo and marine speakers inside and exterior
Upgraded marine grade wiring and electrical with Blue Sea bus bars, fuse boxes, USB ports, and OLED Voltmeters
Tepui ruggedized Gran Sabana RTT included (similar to the Explorer Sabana)! Full 4 person tent with awning, with full (never used) add on sidewalls for MASSIVE weather protected living space. In near perfect condition (sun fading on nylon straps, serviceable but replaceable, available from Tepui).
Upgraded non-slip marine grade rubber tread on fenders.
Exterior electrical 12V ports and full off road lighting side and rear
2 gallon aluminum propane tank in custom stainless steel locking exterior mount (it's ************), mounted on left side in perfect location for cooking.
63Qt ARB Fridge/freezer included on NEW custom SoCal slideout tray, custom built low-mount to allow unrestricted slide out and opening with fridge installed. Again, incredibly quality, welded aluminum, rock solid.
Nicely seasoned Frontrunner grill/spare-tire skidplate...
Brand new 100lb gas struts for the rear hatch (the originals lasted 11 years. These were on extended backorder but were installed today and ready to rock).
Inside:
Incredibly comfortable larger than queen sized mattress (60" x 99"!!) with tons of interior room with under mattress stainless steel storage compartment (completely hidden - good for you goods)
Interior lower drawer system and custom cabinetry including shelving, drawers and cabinet drawer
6" round roof vent with 12v fan and really cool LED lighting in cabin and rear hatch
Frame mounted under door "snake/courtesy" lights and side mounted LED "Porch" lights
Upgraded kitchen with custom cabinetry and factory electric pizza oven (seriously - removed, but included, easy to reinstall if preferred)
Made to fit 18" Partner steel 2 burner stove perfectly (not included, sorry).
Exterior:
Fully welded and powder coated steel frame, with heavy duty off-road ladder construction.
Seamless marine-grade poly under-coach cladding
Tongue and groove and dovetail joined 3/4" baltic birch cabin frame and interior (strongest teardrop on the market by a mile, sorry Mobi).
Anodized aluminum shell.
Heavy duty steel repairable fenders.
Full size fender mounted spare tire.
Keep in mind the 100% spare-parts availability with incredible support from SoCal. Everything from lock mechanisms, to windows, vents, fenders, trim, lights, etc is available. I've ordered tons of upgrades from them and everything bolts on and fits perfectly, is incredibly well made, and they turn around orders in a matter of days.
No issues, but could use new plastic rockguard film (it's peeling in a few places). I've done some rehabbing of paint along the front edges of fenders and top of box to get it ready for sale. Otherwise looks as good or better than the day I bought it.
Probably been pulled 10K miles by me, and less by the previous owner. Fantastic condition, unparalleled quality, should last a lifetime.
Overall, if you don't know what a So-Cal is it is truly a hand-crafted trailer with almost limitless options. The attention to detail and clean design is indescribable.
