I like the mother-in-law riding on the back haha
I really like the way the 400 angles up at the back underside. That clearance can be useful.
That was the very 1st thing I thought! It is very obvious that a real offgridder put a lot of thought into the 400.
Biy, I bet I would rip the butt off that awesome little Max right away!
Nice! Thank you Paul!! Thinkin' you're one of the first to do an "official" comparison.
Paul, that has got to be thee most though tour and comparisons of two trailers! Awesome!!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Great comparison Paul.
Great comparison the best I have seen
Great comparison! Little Guy Max is winner for me. Pass-through storage, larger fridge, more storage, and two tv's!
You do an outstanding job on your reviews!!!!
Thanks for the comparison Little Guy Max will be the one for me...Love it
Excellent comparison, Paul + you're pointing out the pluses & minuses of both models.
I do wish you shown/demo'd the fold away lavatory in the T@B 400 + I wish you'd shown the accessibility of the GUTS of the T@B 400. Hopefully, NüCamp will be able to engineer things to accommodate a larger 2-way (120V or 12V) Frig/Freezer in the T@B 400
Paul, I do wish you'd actually stand inside bathrooms & go through the motions of taking a shower. This will give everyone a much better idea of the bathroom size instead of merely talking about its dimensions.
2019 t@b 400 got a larger fridge relocated to where the hanging closet was in the older model, and includes drawer space under. Three drawers newly occupy the old fridge space. And a microwave is now included above the sink.
And I believe Nücamp has replaced the slow draining folding bathroom sink with an improved version.
Wish you would do this one again with the 2020 models. Please!
I will for the 2021 Models soon....
Thank you very much, you did a great job on comparison.
Thank you James. I try to give as much information as possible.
I'm sold! This comparo convinced me. Both are great campers. And we've owned a Little Guy product before. We just bought a TAB 400!
Randakk how do you like the Tab 400?
Did you not like the Little Guy? I'm torn between the two...leaning towards the Little Guy because of the fridge and extra storage...I plan to live in mine full time. I'd love to know how you feel that these two compare. Thanks
Didn't have to watch but 7 minutes and had my mind made up on the MAX
Same here! The MAX seems to be better quality(in my opinion)!
What sold us on the t@b 400: A larger bath with sink and window. No glass bath door. Quieter A/C Instant hot water (no hot water storage tank to keep hot). Super quiet heat system. Lighter overall weight. Lower overall clearance height. Much better ground clearance at the back. Twice the solar available. Plus larger capacity tanks.
My wife and I were also impressed with the fit and finish of the t@b 400, no matter what brand we would compare it to.
The longer Max excels with it's larger passthrough storage and larger fridge. Otherwise, we can't think of anything else that matters.
Do you have the cash?
Aren't humans awesome?
It took me about 3 seconds to like the 400.
Does anyone else get an eye twich from the round paintjob/stickers with square blackout windows over?
Just Why Mr. Air force guy?
I like the tab 400 so far except for the small frig but I can always get a big cooler with ice. And I need to get a truck. My subaru outback will not be able to pull either one.
Nancy, They made another option for the refer. It is a larger one, but you lose the closet. Good Luck!
Thank you!
I like the TAB overall. If it had a lifting roof like the Safari Condo Alto, that would be killer. (I’m 4’11”. I don’t care about ceiling height. I just like the extra windows and the more comfort with the bed)
The ability to put the tv outside is killer on the MAX. Along with the antenna.
The bigger bed is nice. But I wouldn’t want the TAB too much longer. Maybe a foot for a full size queen and a bigger fridge.
The heating and cooling systems in the TAB are important. That fan and that heating system.
The solar system is great on the TAB
I wonder if an extra bunk bed can fit over the dinette at night...
I have twin littles.
Very nicely done. 👍
Little Guy Max won me over at the large fridge, but no fold down sink in bathroom, bummer.
EXACTLY...bummer....but I need the larger fridge. I guess I could brush my teeth in the kitchen.
Tab 400 should of come with a microwave and bigger fridge with a freezer for this price.
They are aware of that, stay tuned!
They put it in a bad place. I'm a senior and I would not like to bend down that much to use a microwave. Ok for 20 year olds but I'm 65
They need to find a way to improve the refrigerator on the Tab 400.
2019 does...
@@MC-tg1xk
Then, buy another trailer brand that has the microwave higher up. Problem solved.
Love the video great job. Thanks for your Air Force service you must of been an announcer or in tower operations.
I have seen the Max firsthand, really like it very clean and neat, lots of storage.
Thanks for watching. Just put a Factory Tour of the Little Guy Max last Wednesday....
Still would like to see some views of the undersides, tanks location and clearance, low point drains, that kind of thing, some trailers have some serious low points. Thanks.
The T@B holding tanks are covered and that's not the case with the LG Max. I think the T@B is better quality but not as practical.
Hi Paul, Little Guy says they have a black flush connection. It is nice to compare them though and it gives perspective to people to see options as well.
Good side by side comparison
Little Guy Max for the win 👍
Seems to me that if you want to do more of the boondocking style of camping, then the T@B 400 will serve you best. If you only camp where you have shore power available, the MAX would be most comfortable. Great review, Very thorough. Thanks,Paul!
Thanks Nancy!
Gots a 9’ x 9’. T@B 400 fits.
You didn’t compare the price,but love both
If you look below the video, I compared all the specs and prices for that year. Thanks for watching
WOW great review of both these models!
Thanks for watching
I think the build quality in the T@B is a little better. Plus it fits in my garage. The Max would not.
Both the T@B & Max are over 9' tall. So to fit in the garage most people would have a 10' door opening, which would fit either of them. The T@B 320 is over 7' 5" tall and would need an 8' door.
@@TheAirForceGuy According to Nucamp, the t@b 400 is less than 9' tall.
It would be nice if one could combine the best features of each of these trailers! I don't like the fridge in the TAB, but the bathroom is better(for example!) The MAX seems to be better quality on the inside and has more storage space(just my opinion). I would have to go with the MAX(with the Rough Rider package).
Thanks for watching. The newer T@B 400 has a larger refer.
Max needs a sink in the bathroom!!!!!!
Yes...seriously! And the TAB needs a bigger refrigerator!
One important thing not mentioned, What is the carrying capacity.
What is the base price. Looks like a nice weekend camper.
All that I information is listed below Video.
Thanks for Watching.
Hello, thanks for the comparison. Both are great but I like the T@b a little bit better.
Thanks for watching. Happy New Year!
This is the best of all videos ,I'm getting one i want the biggest one the only this is a got a Tacoma 09. 4cylinder
The TAB is clearly well-designed & thought out. The Little Guy looks like they tried to as cheaply copy features from other RV's.
A glass door on your bathroom? Who's the genius that decided that was a good idea? How many people have a glass door on their bathroom at home? That would be none.
The Tab has a much better thought out bathroom, including a sink ( why you wouldn't want a sink in a bathroom I don't know) , with an actual door even!
I know the TAB trailers are more expensive - nearly Airstream levels, but they make much better use of the space they have, and the build quality of the parts is far better.
My wife & I are hunting for our retirement/couple trailer. The TAB would be perfect.
Have to sell the house first though.
I love my job! We carry many different RV manufacturer's and people like or dislike certain things about different ones. That's a good thing. One thing you can be sure of though, things will not be the same and will always change. As far as cost, Both the T@B & Little Guy Max are in the same price range. Take a look at the video that I did from the Factory of the Little Guy Max and see if that changes your mind any.
Video of how the Little Guy Max is built: th-cam.com/video/njhoj-00fZY/w-d-xo.html
I hope to get to the NuCamp factory later this year
I should have mentioned, I did like the video, and the few others of yours I've seen. They're always informative without being too pushy-sales kind of thing.
But the no sink & glass door bathroom thing, is an absolute deal breaker no matter what.
They have changed the shower door for the bathroom to a frosted glass door with a shower curtain inside. I am in the process of getting someone else one with a sink in the bathroom. Thanks for watching!
Paul nice video one Important question is what is the difference in floor, roof and sidewall construction and R- values between the two RV's?
Difference is the T@B 400 has a laminated insulated floor and the Little Guy Max uses Perform Max 500 for the flooring. I am sure that the T@B 400 has a higher R Value.
Paul great job on all your videos. Very helpful! Question...can a rear hitch be added to the 400? Thanks
Not at this time. They tell me they are working on something. Check out the Little Guy Plus Video.... Just put on last night, it might be what you are looking for....
Nice tour of both trailers. But was like comparing a big apple and a small pear. Poor technical knowledge of the different components ( black out shade, recovery of hot water, escape window’s, mechanics of heating and A/C.
Thanks for watching. Getting that technical would make videos too long. I have specific videos covering water heaters, Awnings and other components of different RV's
Ill like to buy one
The hitch weight on both of those trailers is over my Jeep Wrangler JL’s maximum of 350 lbs. Very sad! 🥺
Yes they are. However there are dealers out there that say differently and put people in difficult situations.
This was a benefit well done. I think the T@B is better in quality and cooler looking but to live in and less travel the MAX wins for me. The windows seem wider in Max than T@B and offer more privacy. Talk about towing vehicles. I'll buy the max rough rider if I can tow it. That's my million dollar question now on my jeep Wrangler. Do I have Dana 44 or higher gear ratio??/
Both of these are too heavy for a 4 door Jeep Wrangler. It is the tongue weight that will push almost 500 lbs.
I understand that 4 door Jeep Wranglers have a tow rating of 3,500 lbs. But then you need to subtract people & cargo in the jeep and understand that the hitch receiver is rated for only 350 lbs. of tongue weight. Just my professional opinion.
Can you put a c-pap machine in the Little guy Max?
Yes, there is a plug close enough to do that.
great video and sorry for the basic question, but are both, either or neither of these trailers towable by a 2013 jeep 4door rubicon wrangler. I am really looking to upgrade from my popup tent trailer. My girlfriend wants a real toilet and air
There are people out there towing these with a vehicle like yours. Not really sure that they are rated for this trailer.
thank you
I don't want to cook indoors so this made up my mind that I didn't want either.
Thanks for watching. There are other ones that have the ability to cook outside.
Well Paul, drink another beer......you only missed the heat pump on the 400, you failed to say anything about little things like: sidewall construction, roof construction, frame material: alum. or steel? Then what type of floor, floor construction, warranty.......go have another beer Paul!
Richard, thank you for watching. You are correct, this video was more along the lines of the difference, although I missed a few items, they are well documented in my individual videos for each. Check out the Factory tour videos for both of these campers. In those I go over the construction. I'll take you up on the beer one day when we can have one together.
Great tour! No one seems willing to talk about btu ratings for the TAB 400. Do you have any idea?
Lisa, that is because it uses the Alde System. Stay tuned because I will be making a video just on the Alde System.
the t@b 400 looks like the boondock version
No, just the Standard one.
Which one do you prefer? Or which one do you think is built better
They both have pros and cons. It comes down to the individual.
Other than being the largest versions of the 2 lines, these campers are not really equivalent so you can't really do an apples to apples comparison. Just to start with, the max is 3 foot longer and about a foot taller. No surprise that it has more storage and useable space. Personally, having looked at both, I was very impressed with the features and build quality of the 400.
How did the prices and "deals" you could find compare between the two? I'm still looking!
@@valeriegriner5644 From what I've seen, the T@B is the more expensive and they seem to go for around $30K.
Great video, thanks. Did you get a new mic? Much better sound. The more I learn, I realize the less I really know.
Wireless Mic and new camera.... Thanks for watching!
Parking, parking, parking
For about the same money you can buy a grand design (entry level) more bang for your buck-p
Patrick, you are correct. However they are two different style campers. The entry level Imagine cannot be towed by the same vehicle towing this trailer as well. Many options out there, its good to have options!
Tab 400 has the best bathroom in the class that about or less than 20ft!!! If max has 400 bathroom then it will be the best in its class in terms of size price dry weight. Although airstream 16 to 20 ft long trailers are good , but they are too pricey, and no 400 bathroom.
Thanks for watching

Hi would I be able to pull this with my 2020 Nissan Pathfinder rock creek edition?
Check your owners manual.
My name is John I live in Arkansas I have a Ford Escape I have to have something to tow with that car. Please keep in touch thank you
John, which engine? What year is it? Check your rating here: www.fleet.ford.com/towing-guides/

Look on the link I sent you.
I did but the Bambi is very expensive. They want a lot of money for that I can't afford that
How much is the 400 and the little Max
they are over $40,000 MSRP now
@@TheAirForceGuy they are too much I can't afford that I'm on Social Security I'm not rich
TAB NEEDS ONE PIECE SOLID counter tops!!!!!!!!!!! Like the MAX-HELLO TAB -------EVERYTHING else is SUPERIOR by TAB but that? Unless thats a TAB option?
Tab 400 rules
Did I miss a comparison in price?
Sorry, updated the video. Thanks for the question....
Hi so what do they go for and where are u lo located
Pricing is listed below video. MSRP up to $39,000 depending on options. I am located in Thurmont, Maryland.
Thanks for watching.
So the little guy is bigger then the 400 ?
Yes 3 feet longer
Also about 8" taller
These things look so dumpy compared to the airstream
Maybe, but they are much different than an AirStream and less than half the price. Options are a good thing
Where can i go see them ?
We are located in Thurmont, Maryland. Where are you?
price ?each one ?

RV Reviews by The Air Force Guy n
Tab 400 is just WAY to expensive . airstream territory.
Airstream is a very nice trailer. One must look at the construction of an RV. The materials used in this trailer are higher quality vs many others on the market, they are a small company so materials cost more as well. Many factors to consider before labeling something too expensive. Those that use these trailers would disagree and sing their praises. Happy Camping!
@@TheAirForceGuy oh most of them that own one do sing there praises. That's why I do research on them. Thanks for your videos, very helpful.
@@randalldenison4628 Appreciate you watching. There are some RV's out there that people are not very happy about. But you know how it goes, people are more likely to complain than praise.....
both of these are, both of these are way overpriced!
In the eyes of some. We carry RV's priced from Cheap to Expensive. Something for everyone! Won't find one like this on the Cheap....
Sorry, but this comparison was too casual causing valuable information to be drawn out with hesitating silences and incomplete sentences. Please fully prepare and organize this kind of presentation before posting. I had to stop watching. Sad because we need a good informed and organized comparison.Too painful. Only the extremely curious will stay with it.
Everyones a critic. Make your own damn video then.
