Thank you for this highly informative insight into this excellent travel trailer. Your concise explanations and clear videography make this an interesting video to watch. I look forward to following your experiences with your lovely 400.
I love the TAB. I have researched the many current options available in travel trailers and feel this is a really great option. I Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Excellent video thanks. I also subscribed to your channel. So keep the updates coming. Planning on ordering our 400 next March/April time frame. So enjoy all your wonderful and awesome adventures which are coming down the road.
great video . . . very valuable information . . . we almost bought a Tab 400 on SEVERAL occasions over the last 3 years . . . glad we waited . . . seems like some very important changes have taken place that earlier-model-year owners accepted as "Oh well, nothing is perfect" . . . the good thing is that NU-CAMP listens in an attempt to truly strive for perfection
Thanks for sharing the new updated 2020 nucamp tab 400. It's nice they keep improving. I heard the old bathroom sink design was slow in draining so it's wonderful they fixed the issue. I keep dreaming about downsizing when our 5 teens are out of the nest and this seems perfect for 2 people.
Thanks for all the information. This was very helpful to me. I'm in the process of decided what size I want to get and what amenities I will need. I appreciate you showing the little things and speaking about the differences in the model years too. Thanks again.
Great review guys. Our family is working on saving up for a T@b 400. Your review really sold us on it. We watched your travel videos as well and hope to see more from you guys in the future! Happy travels :)
That was a very nice review. I've been doing a lot of shopping online and I keep coming back to the tab and I think with this review you might've pushed me over the line thank you
Nice review of the 2020! We have a 2018 T@B 400 and really enjoyed it. We to have a Tacoma and had no issues at all with towing. We are at present in Oregon camp hosting. We use a Walker tent for the extended time which we have found useful for added floor space. Thank you again for your great video.
We are looking to get one as soon as we pay off some loans. By that time it should be around 2022. Looks like these campers are getting better and better every year.
Congrats on your new T@B ! We just got the 2019 in June have had no issues with anything other than bugs getting in , I love the floor in ours it’s cushy and comfy and a breeze to clean up as well! We don’t have the wardrobe , which I would have preferred but love that we have the propane option for the fridge when boondocking, although I’m finding we have plenty of storage still. also have the solar and love it! Congrats , we live not far from Idaho Washington and Montanna , but on the Canadian side ! Lol We travel there often! Hoping to go to the Washington T@B meetup next May? Maybe we Will see you there!
Thx for the tour. 👍🏻😊 We have one of the first 2017’s. May have to take a look at the 2020. I like that the AC has been moved from the side. How’s the cooking of the new AC Unit?
I'm looking forward to your upcoming 6-months review & hopefully a 1-year review. You made no mention about the battery system you have. Hopefully you can say something about it here. Counter space is really limited in most TT; it nice that you thought to mention counter space as being a PLUS in your T@B 400. Yes, I've subscribed & rang the notification Bell. EXCELLENT comparison of features between the 2019 & 2020 models.
We have a 2018 and I love the changes in the 2020. I think I would opt for the bigger fridge were I to upgrade. We have replaced our sink with the new model and cannot wait to go out camping to try it out. Hoping for some improvement in that kitchen table at some point - less weight, easier to drop and raise, perhaps even adjustable slide positions like in 320s and the Avia. THEN, I “might” look at an upgrade.
Great video and I’m happy for the two of you, I like the 400 but the one minus on this camper as well as hundreds of others models/manufacturers is the persistent design incorporating a side to side master bed instead of a front to back master bed that allows either parter to quietly slip out of bed via the foot of the bed with minimal disturbance of their partner and use the restroom, get up for coffee, make breakfast or what ever. How many designers/manufacturers sleep at home in a bed where one partner is trapped against a wall and can’t get out of bed without waking the other? So figure it out, cut some inches out here or there and make all master beds placed front to back instead of side to side. Does not have to be a walk around, simply a foot entry/exit. Disclaimer, this comment is not aimed at this manufacturer but rather the entire RV industry. I’ve had a couple vodka/tonics but I am passionate about this issue..😂😂😂.
Nice trailer Thanks for the tour . Do you have a generator for boondocking & are you eventually going to upgrade the solar system & include a Battle Born Lithium battery bank ? Safe journeys & keep the rubber on the road .
Couldn't agree more. But that's because I'm 6'3"! Every van conversion or small camper I see has a bed across the camper, and I just move on to the next video. Not everyone is 5'7"!!
Great video. The 2021 TAB 400 has some changes. What has your experience been with the A/C under the bed & the backup camera (now discontinued)? How do you store it in winter--garage, cover or brave the elements? Thank you.
Great video and thank you for sharing. In your future video's, can you share more experience with your solar panel, information on the average amount of time used and what items how much did it drained, plus charging time on cloudy days for that usage. Thank you.
Going to agree with Northwest Dad, this is one of the best overviews of the 2020 T@B400 to date. The updates and changes have been very well documented in this vid. I have subscribed as well. Looking forward to the Weight Disto Vid as well if there was sway control in conjunction wth that system. We have a 2017 Sienna LE that we hope to pull with, it is rated for 3500lbs but am concerned about the hitch weight. Probably different now with the AC unit to the rear of the axel. THX once again and check out Mandy Lee Photo and Travels with Delaney if you have not already. Two of our favorite T@B channels!
Great video, thank you. Picking up our 2020 Tab 400 Boondock lite on Tuesday, very excited. This is the first video I've been able to find that answers a lot of my questions about the 2020. Question on the new air system: Is it quiet, do you feel or notice it running while sleeping and have you had any issues with it over heating. I read on a blog in early production that there was an issue and was wondering if you experienced any of those problems. Thanks again for the great video and answering a lot of questions, looking forward to following you on your new channel. Will K.
USEALR , thanks for commenting. There’s no getting around it, the AC is a bit loud when running. I’ve also read about the overheating, but we have not had that issue (yet). I’ve also heard that nuCamp is working on a solution, so hopefully that’s the case. I think you’re really going to enjoy your t@b when it shows up.
Great video I was wondering if your still loving your Tab 400 ? and which brake controller do you use and do you have a picture of your truck hitched up to the TAB the reason is I also have a Tacoma
You said that there were 3 power outlets... but isn’t there one in the kitchen as well? And regardless of whether you’re plugged in or not, the inverter needs to be on.... that switchover happens automatically when you plug into shore power? Lastly, how do the air conditioning vents do? Are they place in good spots to evenly keep it cold in there? What’s the BTU rating of the new unit? Wait- this last thing, lol... where does the furnace duct out to?
Very real review👍 As far as the AC outlets, there are none by the sink/cooking area that run off the inverter? What about us coffee hounds?😈 Also, what is the measurement of the bed area? I would certainty upgrade the mattress with a quality one👍 Look forward to hearing more from you guys. Enjoy and be safe👍
Correct, the AC outlet in the kitchen is not connected to the inverter. You’re best bet for a coffee maker might be the outlet under the couch. As far as the bed, I just measured. It’s 55 inches wide by ~80 tall.
Great video, my husband and I are sold. We were wondering as someone else also asked in the comments below, “How do you store this trailer?” I’m assuming from your video you have it in a garage, when I read the specs on this it said it was over 8’ in height. Our garage is 8’ and we’d love to store it in our own garage instead of paying someone for storage. Thank you.
Have you done any winter travel? Looking for a travel trailer that I can take family of three up to Massachusetts for Christmas. Thanks for the review!
Hi Kathleen, if you mean in the camper aisle, we try to keep it empty while traveling. We have a pop up table that we keep in the bed of our truck as well as some foldable chairs. No generator, so far the solar has been enough. The goal is to upgrade the solar & batteries if we ever need more power instead of buying a generator. We’ll see how that goes over time.
Time for a 6 months review & by now you probably have some colder weather camping experiences with your T@B 400. I especially liked you pointing out the changes between the 2019 & your 2020 T@B 400. Do you have & carry a Generator with you on your camping trips. I am especially interested in your "BOONDOCKING" camping experiences. Yes, I am a subscriber & I rang the notification bell so I'll KNOW when you publish any & all videos.
Nice job and very helpful. We will pick up our 2020 Tab 400 in August. How is the new air conditioning unit working for you? I look forward to seeing new videos.
Thanks! We haven’t had any issues with our A/C, however I have read that some of the ‘early 2020’ units are affected (nuCamp called out specific VIN’s). Our tab is part of this list. Unless we have any troubles this summer, I think we’ll have the rework done after the camping season is over.
Hey guys - I'm having trouble downloading the victron app so maybe you can help me. I did get the download done, but when it comes to typing in the code to finalize it, they give you a keyboard that has the old ABC type or letters on the keys rather than a real keyboard. how do you use this type of keyboard to get the code typed in? thanks.
Very nice review. On your next video can you talk about the water and waste tank location and where it is located. Also will you take this camping into extream cold? Thanks!
Hey Jun, hopefully we’ll get a shot of the under side one day to show the tanks and the axels. If we do, we’ll share it. Winter camping is absolutely on the agenda, I’m sure there will be some learnings to keep everything from freezing.
love the tab 400 I have a 2015 and Leonard would I would like to know how much more it would cost to put a bathroom in it or how much is this unit I live in Tennessee are there any dealers in the Tennessee area
Hi! My husband and I are deciding between a t@b 400 and an Airstream Bambi 16. Could you comment on how the bed is for two people in the 400? I'm worried that the slanting angle of the back of the teardrop might be a deal breaker. Thanks :)
Sorry I missed your comment. We actually got our choice down to these two models as well. If both of you are claustrophobic then sleeping in the tab will be challenging. Thankfully that’s not a problem for us, but it is for others. The slope of the bed is visually there. Physically you probably won’t hit it so it’s more of a mental thing. Good luck on your choice. Both are great units I think.
We’ve been fortunate to make it through the entire summer without having to run the AC overnight. It’s not quiet, so you would absolutely hear it while trying to sleep.
I've been told that you could get by towing the 400 with no wd hitch, but with only a sway bar. What do you think about that? I'm getting my 2020 next week.
Greg, that’s awesome! We do use a WD hitch on ours, but we started out without one. There’s no doubt that it tows easier (the truck just behaves better in the wind). When we picked ours up the dealer said we wouldn’t even need a sway bar but I hate towing on the highway without anti-sway.
Hi,does the AC unit make noise or Vibrate while on and trying to sleep being its right under the bed cause I ask salesman and said it gives off a white sound noise?
Hmmm. White noise might be a bit of a white lie. It’s not obnoxiously loud, but it’s also not quiet. Most of the noise is from the air coming out of the ducts, not the unit itself. The bed duct is above you near the radio. Ours doesn’t vibrate.
Great video guys, and one of the few I’ve found that specifically outlines the differences between the 2019 and 2020. We’re in the process of shopping right now and the dealer we are looking at have both, so we’ve had the usual “is it worth it” questions. The lower power draw of the AIR 8 alone makes it very tempting. Also, kudos on the production quality of the video. The drone footage was quite cool (we never get to see the tops of these trailers), and the video and audio quality were great. Perhaps best of all, you were well-prepared with your content, didn’t “uhm...” your way through, and didn’t say the same thing 20 times. Other content creators, take note. Please. :-) Subscribed and looking forward to seeing more from you both!
In the past, the T@b has had issues with gaps in the retractable screen that allowed bugs to get into the RV. Have you noticed any problems with the screens?
Dry weight around 3,000lbs. No propane no AC Wet weight 3,200lbs. with fresh water and batteries no AC or propane. No GVWR on their site has 3,900lb. axle so that's close to GVWR IMO
Hi Karl, we pull ours with a 2019 Tacoma with a tow package. It’s fine until you get to the coastal mountains, which there are a lot of in WA. Then it’s a bit underpowered.
Hello, We will be getting our 2020 Tab 400 after Labor Day. Question: Do you have an anti sway bar? if so, what brand. I will be pulling the Tab with a 2019 Toyota 4 Runner.
Hey Jim, we do have a weight distribution hitch with anti sway. It’s the ‘Equalizer 4 way’ sway control hitch with 600/6000lbs bars. I’d say it works well, but it’s a bit of a hassle to put on and off. Check out the owners manual for your 4Runner. It might mandate a WDH on any trailer over 3000 lbs.
Thanks for the info. Only thing I found was if unit is over 3k, double axil is recommended. Not going to happen Almost ready for delivery. Think all will be ok. Great video. Very informative. Looking forward to more. We will compare notes on good and bad. More from Durango, in SW Colorado. @@grefeaway2451
Of course it all depends on the van and what kind of terrain you live around. I’ve seen lots of people pulling similar sized campers with medium sized SUV’s. You might be quite slow on the mountain passes though. It all comes down to the tow rating of your van. I know some of the full size vans have high tow ratings. Not sure about minivans.
Hi Jianru, good question! The microwave is an option when you order. We decided that the storage was more important than a microwave, so we ordered ours without.
Makes a person crazy when they keep making the new models better. Will still love my 2019 , but really like your 2020 improvements.
Glad the company actually listens to the ppl and fixed the issues. Great video thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Been looking for awhile at small trailers. This video just sold me.
Thank you for this highly informative insight into this excellent travel trailer.
Your concise explanations and clear videography make this an interesting video to watch.
I look forward to following your experiences with your lovely 400.
I love the TAB. I have researched the many current options available in travel trailers and feel this is a really great option. I Looking forward to seeing more videos.
Was it? I'm thinking about it. My only concern is traveling during winter.
Excellent video thanks. I also subscribed to your channel. So keep the updates coming. Planning on ordering our 400 next March/April time frame. So enjoy all your wonderful and awesome adventures which are coming down the road.
These Tabs are what made me get busy and build my own camper and do a video, love your camper.
great video . . . very valuable information . . . we almost bought a Tab 400 on SEVERAL occasions over the last 3 years . . . glad we waited . . . seems like some very important changes have taken place that earlier-model-year owners accepted as "Oh well, nothing is perfect" . . . the good thing is that NU-CAMP listens in an attempt to truly strive for perfection
We are picking up our tab 400 boondock lite at the end of the week. Pumped! Nice video- we will be watching your channel.

Love the new camper, great review. Let's see more of your Beautiful Pup, they need their own spot on TH-cam. Thanks
Thanks! Bella got a lot more airtime in our Cape Disappointment video. One of my friends had that exact same request.
Thanks for all the information. This was very helpful to me. I'm in the process of decided what size I want to get and what amenities I will need. I appreciate you showing the little things and speaking about the differences in the model years too. Thanks again.
Thank you! Fabulous information- we pick up ours today and you have really helped reduce some anxiety for us.
I should become the importer down here in Australia. Awesome campers!
Great review guys. Our family is working on saving up for a T@b 400. Your review really sold us on it. We watched your travel videos as well and hope to see more from you guys in the future! Happy travels :)
Awesome video it's good to see that couples get along and it's time to have some kids just kidding. Good luck on your trips.
Great walk through video. Very informative! Also, kudos on the blanket that was under the sofa, Go Pack Go
Excellent review. Good production video with both of you contributing.
That was a very nice review. I've been doing a lot of shopping online and I keep coming back to the tab and I think with this review you might've pushed me over the line thank you
Lovely vlog, lovely people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really like the outside graphics and design of these campers!
Thanks for an interesting look at the TAB 400 2020 style. NuCamp seems to continuously move forward with design and equipment.
That's a very nice setup❣
Nice review of the 2020! We have a 2018 T@B 400 and really enjoyed it. We to have a Tacoma and had no issues at all with towing. We are at present in Oregon camp hosting. We use a Walker tent for the extended time which we have found useful for added floor space. Thank you again for your great video.
Mike are you still liking your TAB 400?? thank you
We have the exact same model but in the 2019 version. Love the red and love the T@B. :-)
You convinced me...this is the one I'm buying. Thanks.
Very informative and interesting. Good job.
Thanks you both!
💜 Hi from Randi’s Adventures! I have a Little Guy Max and love the @Tab too! Great video guys. 💜
Thank you for this great comparison.
Great video!!!
We are looking to get one as soon as we pay off some loans. By that time it should be around 2022. Looks like these campers are getting better and better every year.
Absolutely love this trailer, 👍🏻🇨🇦
Congrats on your new T@B ! We just got the 2019 in June have had no issues with anything other than bugs getting in , I love the floor in ours it’s cushy and comfy and a breeze to clean up as well! We don’t have the wardrobe , which I would have preferred but love that we have the propane option for the fridge when boondocking, although I’m finding we have plenty of storage still. also have the solar and love it! Congrats , we live not far from Idaho Washington and Montanna , but on the Canadian side ! Lol We travel there often! Hoping to go to the Washington T@B meetup next May? Maybe we Will see you there!
Hi Val, Yes we are planning to go to the WA state east meets west gathering in May 2020. We look forward to meeting you!
Thx for the tour. 👍🏻😊 We have one of the first 2017’s. May have to take a look at the 2020. I like that the AC has been moved from the side. How’s the cooking of the new AC Unit?
That's great I'm also looking into the tab 400 right now your comments are very much appreciated thanks
I love the cabinetry in the Tab Trailers. Just too small for us. We have a Lance 1575 and love it. Still rather small.
I enjoyed the video. Thanks for all the info!
Thanks for the great review. I am happy to hear about the new sink. Where did you get the t-shirt?
I'm looking forward to your upcoming 6-months review & hopefully a 1-year review. You made no mention about the battery system you have. Hopefully you can say something about it here. Counter space is really limited in most TT; it nice that you thought to mention counter space as being a PLUS in your T@B 400. Yes, I've subscribed & rang the notification Bell.
EXCELLENT comparison of features between the 2019 & 2020 models.
Great video....informative!
I like your storage organization in the upper kitchen cabinets. I never understood why folks pile stuff up there and don't use tubs, baskets, cubes.
We have a 2018 and I love the changes in the 2020. I think I would opt for the bigger fridge were I to upgrade. We have replaced our sink with the new model and cannot wait to go out camping to try it out. Hoping for some improvement in that kitchen table at some point - less weight, easier to drop and raise, perhaps even adjustable slide positions like in 320s and the Avia. THEN, I “might” look at an upgrade.
Liz Childers I agree about the table-at just over 5’ I have a lot of trouble lowering it myself!
Very helpful information, Thank You!
How well are you able to see out your mirrors on your Tacoma while towing?
I have a 2019 TRD Sport 4x2.
Great video and I’m happy for the two of you, I like the 400 but the one minus on this camper as well as hundreds of others models/manufacturers is the persistent design incorporating a side to side master bed instead of a front to back master bed that allows either parter to quietly slip out of bed via the foot of the bed with minimal disturbance of their partner and use the restroom, get up for coffee, make breakfast or what ever.

Marvin Wilson we just upgraded to a Coleman bunkhouse for that very reason!
I agree with you . That's designers for you . I get it .
Nice trailer Thanks for the tour . Do you have a generator for boondocking & are you eventually going to upgrade the solar system & include a Battle Born Lithium battery bank ? Safe journeys & keep the rubber on the road .
Couldn't agree more. But that's because I'm 6'3"! Every van conversion or small camper I see has a bed across the camper, and I just move on to the next video. Not everyone is 5'7"!!
Marvin Wilson agreed on the bed issue which is sole reason not to get a T@B. Otherwise love the unit
Great video. The 2021 TAB 400 has some changes. What has your experience been with the A/C under the bed & the backup camera (now discontinued)? How do you store it in winter--garage, cover or brave the elements?
Thank you.
Great video and thank you for sharing. In your future video's, can you share more experience with your solar panel, information on the average amount of time used and what items how much did it drained, plus charging time on cloudy days for that usage. Thank you.
Do you use your AC much? I fine the fan not staying on when in ac mode very annoying, was wondering if you felt the same way
thanks for the advise!

Do you guys have the video of how you did your mod to your Diamond plate tub in front to be able to mount your weight distribution hitch?
What a great video and quite informative. Both of you complement each other well in terms of communicating the features of the product.
How about the tank capacities and ease of filling and dumping ? Tips ?
*I love your 'Airstream '16 "Caravel"*
*Ooops!*
Great video I was wondering if your still loving your Tab 400 ? and which brake controller do you use and do you have a picture of your truck hitched up to the TAB the reason is I also have a Tacoma
Hi, very informative! Thanks! What is the Gross Weight of this RV?
You said that there were 3 power outlets... but isn’t there one in the kitchen as well? And regardless of whether you’re plugged in or not, the inverter needs to be on.... that switchover happens automatically when you plug into shore power? Lastly, how do the air conditioning vents do?

I would certainty upgrade the mattress with a quality one👍 Look forward to hearing more from you guys. Enjoy and be safe👍
Correct, the AC outlet in the kitchen is not connected to the inverter. You’re best bet for a coffee maker might be the outlet under the couch.
As far as the bed, I just measured. It’s 55 inches wide by ~80 tall.
Is the 2-way fridge you have a compressor fridge?
Do you have experience towing with and without a weight distribution hitch? If yes, was the addition of the WD hitch much different?
Im really liking this T@B 400 design. im wondering if it will last as long as a fiberglass trailer.
From the PNW and have a Green Bay Packer blanket?? Hee hee. Me too! Informative video. Thanks. My sis and BIL are looking at TABs, in Milwaukee.
It’s a split household :)
I noticed that too! I lived in Wisconsin, moved to Bellingham for 3 years, and am back in Wisconsin now. 😁
Awesome
Great video, my husband and I are sold. We were wondering as someone else also asked in the comments below, “How do you store this trailer?” I’m assuming from your video you have it in a garage, when I read the specs on this it said it was over 8’ in height. Our garage is 8’ and we’d love to store it in our own garage instead of paying someone for storage. Thank you.
is a composting toilet an option from the factory?
Have you done any winter travel? Looking for a travel trailer that I can take family of three up to Massachusetts for Christmas.
Thanks for the review!
What kinds of things do you store in the camper while traveling? Do you put tables and such? Also, do you have a generator? If so, what works for you?
Hi Kathleen, if you mean in the camper aisle, we try to keep it empty while traveling. We have a pop up table that we keep in the bed of our truck as well as some foldable chairs.
No generator, so far the solar has been enough. The goal is to upgrade the solar & batteries if we ever need more power instead of buying a generator. We’ll see how that goes over time.

Thank you 👍
I'm glad to see the upgrades that NuCamp made. Is it still AC only for the air conditioner or can it work off of the solar?
Daena Smith will not work off solar 🙁
Thank you
Nice job and very helpful. We will pick up our 2020 Tab 400 in August. How is the new air conditioning unit working for you? I look forward to seeing new videos.
Thanks! We haven’t had any issues with our A/C, however I have read that some of the ‘early 2020’ units are affected (nuCamp called out specific VIN’s). Our tab is part of this list.
Unless we have any troubles this summer, I think we’ll have the rework done after the camping season is over.
Since the AC is underneath the bed, seems like it might wake you up at night when it cuts on. Does it? Thanks.
Hummms you to sleep
Where did you get that T shirt with that cool design?
Awesome vid but any vid on towing it or dangers of towing it
Hey guys - I'm having trouble downloading the victron app so maybe you can help me. I did get the download done, but when it comes to typing in the code to finalize it, they give you a keyboard that has the old ABC type or letters on the keys rather than a real keyboard. how do you use this type of keyboard to get the code typed in? thanks.

Hey Jun, hopefully we’ll get a shot of the under side one day to show the tanks and the axels. If we do, we’ll share it.
Winter camping is absolutely on the agenda, I’m sure there will be some learnings to keep everything from freezing.
Is that your garage? I’m ready it won’t fit in a standard garage
Where is the radiant heat, is it in the floor?
love the tab 400 I have a 2015 and Leonard would I would like to know how much more it would cost to put a bathroom in it or how much is this unit I live in Tennessee are there any dealers in the Tennessee area
Where did you get that t-shirt I would love to have one
The Truma specs for your Saphir AC unit States it uses 230v power. Yikes! It is about impossible to find a 230v connection. How are you running it?
Good catch! We have the US version of the Truma unit which has been adapted to 110v power.
Hi! My husband and I are deciding between a t@b 400 and an Airstream Bambi 16. Could you comment on how the bed is for two people in the 400? I'm worried that the slanting angle of the back of the teardrop might be a deal breaker. Thanks :)
Sorry I missed your comment. We actually got our choice down to these two models as well.
If both of you are claustrophobic then sleeping in the tab will be challenging. Thankfully that’s not a problem for us, but it is for others. The slope of the bed is visually there. Physically you probably won’t hit it so it’s more of a mental thing.
Good luck on your choice. Both are great units I think.
My question would be... what is the noise factor of the air conditioner since it is located right under you?
We’ve been fortunate to make it through the entire summer without having to run the AC overnight. It’s not quiet, so you would absolutely hear it while trying to sleep.
Wat is needed to hitch to car?
Is there much difference between the tab 400 and the little guy ? What is the price for the tab ?
Great video! What is the interior height of the 400? I am 6'5" so this can be a deal breaker. Safe travels!!!!
I am 6'6" tall, and can stand up in it.
I've been told that you could get by towing the 400 with no wd hitch, but with only a sway bar. What do you think about that? I'm getting my 2020 next week.
Greg, that’s awesome! We do use a WD hitch on ours, but we started out without one. There’s no doubt that it tows easier (the truck just behaves better in the wind). When we picked ours up the dealer said we wouldn’t even need a sway bar but I hate towing on the highway without anti-sway.
Hi,does the AC unit make noise or Vibrate while on and trying to sleep being its right under the bed cause I ask salesman and said it gives off a white sound noise?
Hmmm. White noise might be a bit of a white lie. It’s not obnoxiously loud, but it’s also not quiet. Most of the noise is from the air coming out of the ducts, not the unit itself. The bed duct is above you near the radio. Ours doesn’t vibrate.
Great video guys, and one of the few I’ve found that specifically outlines the differences between the 2019 and 2020. We’re in the process of shopping right now and the dealer we are looking at have both, so we’ve had the usual “is it worth it” questions. The lower power draw of the AIR 8 alone makes it very tempting.
Also, kudos on the production quality of the video. The drone footage was quite cool (we never get to see the tops of these trailers), and the video and audio quality were great. Perhaps best of all, you were well-prepared with your content, didn’t “uhm...” your way through, and didn’t say the same thing 20 times. Other content creators, take note. Please. :-)
Subscribed and looking forward to seeing more from you both!
In the past, the T@b has had issues with gaps in the retractable screen that allowed bugs to get into the RV. Have you noticed any problems with the screens?
All you have to do is get some painters tape and go around the edge of your window on the inside. It pulls off easily when you want to remove it.
I've had this problem with my 320. So do you afix the tape to the interior window sill? I'm sorry, having a hard time picturing how this works.
Nice camper! How much does this unit weigh? Counter top space and storage are the main reasons my wife loves our Scamp 16'.
Dry weight around 3,000lbs. No propane no AC Wet weight 3,200lbs. with fresh water and batteries no AC or propane. No GVWR on their site has 3,900lb. axle so that's close to GVWR IMO
@@timesup6386 oh wow heavier then I thought. Nice looking rig though. Happy travels
@@timesup6386 Why not give a GVWR nuCamp! Just adding to all the misinformation?
I would like to buy one of these caravans. Where can I find it in Portugal?
Thank you
Nice...hey what do you tow your trail with. I have a 2017 toyota tocoma witht the tow package.
Hi Karl, we pull ours with a 2019 Tacoma with a tow package. It’s fine until you get to the coastal mountains, which there are a lot of in WA. Then it’s a bit underpowered.
Hello, We will be getting our 2020 Tab 400 after Labor Day. Question: Do you have an anti sway bar? if so, what brand. I will be pulling the Tab with a 2019 Toyota 4 Runner.
Hey Jim, we do have a weight distribution hitch with anti sway. It’s the ‘Equalizer 4 way’ sway control hitch with 600/6000lbs bars. I’d say it works well, but it’s a bit of a hassle to put on and off.
Check out the owners manual for your 4Runner. It might mandate a WDH on any trailer over 3000 lbs.
Thanks for the info. Only thing I found was if unit is over 3k, double axil is recommended. Not going to happen Almost ready for delivery. Think all will be ok.
Great video. Very informative. Looking forward to more. We will compare notes on good and bad. More from Durango, in SW Colorado.

This is awesome, I wonder if a van can pull it with ease
Of course it all depends on the van and what kind of terrain you live around. I’ve seen lots of people pulling similar sized campers with medium sized SUV’s. You might be quite slow on the mountain passes though.
It all comes down to the tow rating of your van. I know some of the full size vans have high tow ratings. Not sure about minivans.
Why I don't find any microwave installed in the kitchen area! But I found it in their official brochure!
Hi Jianru, good question! The microwave is an option when you order. We decided that the storage was more important than a microwave, so we ordered ours without.
What did you pay for that one as is?
