The New 2021 NuCamp TAB (T@B) 400 Tour (Unbiased RV Review)

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Correction! We wanted to update you on a few errors. I mentioned that the vent near the A/C was for heat and then went on to explain the radiant hearing system. The vent is for the A/C and I said the fridge was a 2-way fridge when I meant 3-way. The other fridge placement option I mentioned is where the 2-way would go. Also, the batteries are kept under the bed. Sorry if I confused anyone. I usually catch my slip ups in editing but I wanted to make the correction so you could get the possible info we can provide. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for your great reviews. You both do a great job. We have this trailer and LOVE it. There are only the two of us. I can't imagine adding a third. We had a travel fridge we carried in our tow vehicle, so opted for the small fridge in the trailer, giving us a closet for additional storage. My husband is a man of "generous proportions" and the bed is big enough for both of us. The sloping wall could be a bit claustrophobic for some, not for me. It is a pleasure to watch the night sky, a wild storm or a lovely sunrise through that window. Air flow is great with all the windows and natural light pours in. We have a large shade that attaches to the exterior trim rail, giving us an outdoor shelter from sun and rain. The cook top has a glass lid, providing more counter space when closed. The wet bath works well, even for the big man. It handles really well on the road, hardly feel it when towing. The price seems to have gone up since we bought ours, but it is well built and we've had no problems. We'd buy it again, even at that price.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Awesome, thanks for sharing your experience. We just knew that window would be fantastic to sleep under! It is great to hear the airflow is good and the wet bath works for all sizes. Remember the price we are sharing is in CAN$ so that makes a difference. We love that you love it and are out there having a wonderful time in it. Enjoy. Thanks for watching.

The links for the currency converter and the chapters make this a very user-friendly video. I usually won't watch videos of this length but I felt like it flowed well and was full of useful information.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad to hear it, that is just what we were trying to achieve. We hope we can help you learn and find just the right RV for you. Thanks for watching

Hi. I have a 2020 Tab 400 and absolutely love it. I did not get the microwave option because we would never use it as we mostly Boondock and need the extra cabinet for storage. I opted for the smaller 2 way fridge so that we could have a larger closet instead and for us it’s a necessity. Even with just 2 of us, the closet to store clothes, sweaters and bags is great. We just use a cooler to store our drinks and the small fridge works fine. We spent 4 days in Utah for 3 of us and had plenty of room for all our food. My 2 sons are both over 6’ and sleep fine in the bed and I’m only 5’3” so I convert the dining area to a bed for me and it works perfectly. It sleeps the 3 of us comfortably. I love the size and tow it with no problems. I did have a Jeep Wrangler which has a towing capacity of 3500 lbs and I was able to tow the Tab, but it was pushing the limits and I didn’t feel safe. I upgraded to a Jeep Grand Cherokee and it tows my trailer beautifully! I don’t even feel it back there. I’m a first time RV owner and this trailer is the perfect size for me to handle and can easily get into smaller campsites. The Alde heater works well using the propane and shore power. It’s a solid trailer that is built well and worth every penny. I’ve taken my trailer out 10 times last year and had no problems.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

This is absolutely fantastic to hear. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with your TAB. It's great to hear that all 3 of you can fit comfortably and we get why you would want the closet. We are also happy to hear you upgraded your tow vehicle to a better suited one. Less stress and more safety is worth so much. Thanks for watching and sharing.

[@stuwardw]

Very nice trailer, seems like it is high quality and sturdy. Great review as always, thank you!

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching as always

[@lindahh798]

Made by quality Amish craftsmen here in Ohio/USA.

[@dbelden]

Love your videos. No need to apologize for traffic noise... we get it!

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Aww, thanks so much. We try really hard to share the info the best we can and traffic is tough on us. We appreciate your encouragement. Thanks for watching.

[@katycarter2427]

The insulation seems to work. When the door and window are closed the freeway noise disappears. Great video. Thanks!

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We guess that's a great test, isn't it. Good on you for noticing. Thanks for watching and sharing your observations.

[@drmichaellum]

Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I saw that vertical translucent divider between the TV and kitchen stove. We will get the Isotherm 2-way fridge (i.e., no LP) because it is more efficient with DC, and deeper despite being shorter. I am also grateful that there IS actually storage beneath the bed. It was my impression that when they switched to the two 6V AGM batteries, Nautlius system, and eliminated the sewage hose storage tube, that there would be no storage below the bed.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Sounds like you've got one on the way??? That's exciting! We were super happy to that storage under the bed too. We were impressed with this version. Thanks for watching.

[@drmichaellum]

@@DoesSizeMatter Yes, the production date is set for January 18, 2021. It will be almost exactly like that one, sans microwave, and with the other refrigerator so we can have a useable wardrobe closet. It will be gray with the Tempest graphic. We're excited. We enjoy watching your videos!

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Oh that is great! You will have to send us a pic when you get it. We would love to see you with it. Send to [e-mail] (of course only if you want to). We are thrilled you enjoy spending your time with us.

[@May-gq7wn]

@@drmichaellum We got the layout you have on order. It's wonderful. I regret getting the microwave. We could use snother cabinet. Planning, as much as anyone can in Covid, to spend three months in it next year. That will be the longest period on the road, so far. I hope you enjoy yours as much as we do ours.

[@drmichaellum]

@@May-gq7wn Yes, we (wifey and I) are in Southern California and plan to pick this trailer up at Princess Craft in February. However, with the pandemic raging on, I may have to modify travel plans slightly. Filling up @ gas stations and getting food on occasion shouldn't be much different than what we are already doing, and we plan to stay at home (the new one we take with us). When will you get yours?

[@joyn2967]

I like that NuCamp TAB Boondock edition but I wish it wasn't so $$$.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We hear you on that but maybe you can find a used one for a lesser price. They are very cool trailers. Thanks for watching.

[@ldd9672]

Love the trailer. Just shouts quality. Great video 👍

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you like it. This would be a fun trailer to own. Thanks for watching.

[@creativitybycarilyn6634]

I've always liked the T@B products, but the prices are now into the Airstream realm. About 5 years ago they were half the price.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Yes they are nice and yes they are expensive but the consumers dictate the prices right. If people weren't buying the prices would come down. It's just that kind of market for RVs these days. Thanks for watching

[@djkenny1202]

Theres some reputable dealers making sure to sell at MSRP, or better. Avoid anyone marking Up. That goes for cars as well.

[@akasteve3]

Love the description of the diamond thingy and where the batteries don't go.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Not sure what the diamond thingy you are talking about is, maybe you could clarify please? and yes you are correct we have found that the batteries on the 400 are kept under the bed. Thanks for watching

[@cbaker9667]

@@DoesSizeMatter I believe he's referring to what is called the front battery tub on the T@B 320. It holds the battery and propane tank for that model.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

@@cbaker9667 yes it does and that is what we were referring to but have found that the battery placement is different on the 400 as we mentioned. Thanks for your thoughts.

[@cbdplushealth5202]

I love this camper! ~ Tarra

[@DoesSizeMatter]

It is pretty cool. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

[@kathyadams3366]

Nice review. Storage is so minimal in the 400 as apposed to the LGM but Tab has a better bathroom. I think this is a great trailer for minimalists that will spend most time outdoor.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We agree storage is an issue and we did like the bathroom. Pretty much anything in this size is for folks that want to spend most of their time outside, which is great. It's all about finding the right rig for each person's wants, needs and priorities. Thanks for watching.

[@cbaker9667]

And remember the LGM is three feet longer.

[@MD-wk3gj]

The NuCamp T@B teardrop trailers are really nice. I am seriously considering one. Personally I would prefer they remove the bathroom sink. In such a small space I’d rather they reduce the overall MSRP by the material/installation cost of the sink. I can ‘walk’ 1-2 steps over to the kitchen sink to wash my hands or brush my teeth.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We agree they are nice little trailers and it would be very exciting to get one. We always say to each his own. The reason the bathroom sink is so important to us is that when we are saving water dishes don't get washed more then once/day and the sink tends to fill up so there just isn't room for handwashing or teeth brushing etc... in the kitchen sink. It's not about the distance to get to the sink. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

[@MD-wk3gj]

@@DoesSizeMatter that’s a valid reason, thanks for sharing it. I’m not yet a trailer owner so I appreciate learning that.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

@@MD-wk3gj No worries glad to help. We find it really helps when you are looking to imagine all of little daily tasks you would do and how your habits and priorities would fit into a particular RV. Get rid of the salesman and spend some time hanging out in the rv, go through some motions and see how it works for you,

[@kimberleesublett]

Do you happen to know if those are the graphite color cushions or the cobblestone?

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We were told grey walls and anchor cushions. Hope that helps. Thanks for stopping by.

[@ecyfoto]

You need to do a bit more research about the product you’re reviewing. That floor plan is optional. The fridge is a three way. That space is normally a closet when configured with a smaller two way. Those ducts are for AC not heat.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We do a lot of research and review a lot of rigs but admit we aren't perfect. You are correct I did make couple of errors on this one. We did explain where the radiant heat came from but yes while I was discussing the A/C I did call the vent a heat vent and yes I did mix up and call the fridge a 2-way when I meant a 3-way. I did also explain the differences in the floor plans and we have previously shown the solo which we referred to and explained we had, so we had that covered. I usually catch these errors in editing but I will make a pinned comment to explain it to viewers. Thanks for watching.

[@ecyfoto]

@@DoesSizeMatter I’m not trying to be harsh but Tab owners cringe at misinformation. Thanks for the vid.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We hear you, owner's of all brands feel that way about their rigs. Sometimes harshness isn't what a person intends but it's all in the way a comment is phrased and communicated. One has to be super careful when expressing your thoughts in writing. Like I said we usually catch our errors in editing but this one slipped by me, but we do our research or work very hard to produce the best content we can. We always welcome comments from owner's but do need them to be respectful. We think the TAB is an awesome trailer too and we would love to hear about all of the adventures you go on and why the TAB works so well for you.

[@cigarmann]

I know you try to bias your reviews to people that are shorter in stature but I am curious as to how tall you are just so I can get a reference point

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We don't actually try to bias our reviews in any one direction. We show it from our perspective (cause that's all we have) and hope to help folks decide what will work for them. I am 5' tall, hope that helps to give you the reference point you are looking for. Thanks for watching.

[@davishawkey8129]

checkerboard= diamond plate

[@Bluesidian]

lol i would have to lay diagonal.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

The right rig is all about perspective, priorities, needs and wants. Check out our other reviews. There will be another one that's just right for you. Thanks for watching.
