hi
has anyone got a jk tunnel. just used mine for 1st time. no problems putting up, but not sure about attachment to van. if you line it up with the A pillar/front cab door it do'snt reach to back of van. so part of sliding door sticks out.
cheers tony

Having the same problem with our new JK tunnel. The door hits the canvas and to fully open you have to move the canvas then it sticks out

Not sure about it really...

i have phoned them up, and to be quite honest they do not seem to intrested. i was told that there is 3 meters there and it should be ample. it obviously i'snt and i think that this is very poor coming from a company that prides itself in its camper history. i would have thought that they would tried them out first to make sure the sliding door was fully covered. unfortunatley i had mine just over a month before using it as i would have sent it back.

Just got back from our virgin run with ours and to be honest that's our only real complaint with it, when you look at ours there's a good foot and a half of spare pole sticking out the back! Going to try to mod it to make it fit better using an eyelet and a rubber strap which will hopefully connect to the rear gutter clamp and probably move the guy rope to the new eyelet as well. ... but thats not the point really is it, you'd have expected it to fit like a glove??!!

Shame to here that JK are interested

would have thought it would be in there best interest to keep us customers happy??
