Great walkthrough - thank you! The bunk bed looked complicated in pictures, but seeing you set it up & break it down clarifies how it works. NuCamp has obviously put a lot of thought into their upgrades for 2023.
Yes! It's probably actually even easier than I made it look in the video. That was my very first time figuring it out - I could be faster if I did it again :)
The lithium upgrade is awesome. I will seriously consider buying this now.
Totally agree. It was a much needed option!
@@MandyLea and, the price on this with and without upgrade is…. .???
NüCamp has done a phenomenal job with these upgrades. This makes me want one. So many good feature changes from my 2019.
Love the addition of the bunk beds. Perfect for my family.
Yes! We hope to see more families camping out in 400s :)
Thank you for the detailed walkthrough lol and the bloopers. I love it amazing improvements, I love a company that really listens to their customers and potential customers. Thanks again and wishing you both safe travels 🙏🏽
You do an excellent job describing all the details. Thanks!!
Just watched the video. Awesome tour. I love the aesthetics of that bathroom sink. The bunk bed option is cool and I loved the demos; wasn't expecting Kendrick to be doing it. 🤣👍 Great tour and teamwork! 👍
Haha! You know I couldn't have kept him off it! :)
Great video, thank you. I really like this now that they’ve added the bunk. 🤗
Wow!!!!! We love the new look!!
Us too!
That was great and thanks for the bloopers!! I have been waiting for this video update and you did not disappoint! Neither did nuCamp, so excited!
So happy not to disappoint!! I always have lots of bloopers... but not all of them are usually appropriate, haha
Ahhhhmazing!! Love the Tab products and your videos! I think this is what so many of us with kids have been waiting for!!
I can't wait to see them out in "the wild"!
AWESOME. The walkthrough was very well done. Thank you for getting on the bunk beds. 👏🏾 I am seriously considering getting this for the family ….small and compact.😊
Thank you! It was kind of fun :)
Excellent presentation
Great job Mandy and Kendrick. Always been a T@B 400 fan. Now, it is even better. Thanks!
Thanks Dean! We agree!
Great review and loved how you guys showed the space on the bunk beds especially both height gives avway better perspective.
Love the new changes! Wonderful review! 🎉😊
Thank you 🤗
Nice video showing the 400 updates. The 4-LiFePO battery option is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! It was a fun one to make!
Is it battleborn batteries? And the rep said it was a 185 watt solar panel upgrade.
Love the new 400 changes!!
You two are the best for Tab knowledge and presentation!
Thank you :) We sure try our best!
Ohhh those bunk beds are great. As someone with a small family, I’ve always discounted the tabs, but now I may take a look.
Definitely! I think this will really open up the market for families
Thank you for the AWESOME presentation Mandy and Kendrick!!! You guys are the best, we are so excited for our Tab 400 delivery🙂
Aw thanks!!! So sad it missed the CO Rally but can't wait to see you in the spring!
@@MandyLea Thank you, if by chance Tab is ready in time we will ask if there still is room🙂Bonzi from Colorado to Texas back to Colorado...LOL
@@rebeccawade9377 Absolutely! I'll keep my fingers crossed!
I love the update! We’re a family of four and have been eyeing this unit.
Great! Can't wait to see some families out and about in it.
Nice bunk beds. The whole camper is pretty impressive!! My 7 y.o. Granddaughter would have a blast.
I can't wait to see kids enjoying this!!
Nucamp got great ideas always improving a great well made product. Worth every penny love mine
Couldn't agree more!
Wow! Not bad at all! Awesome! Thanks!
Right!? We thought it was pretty cool.
Fun to see the upgrades! (Still in love with our wee 320… 😉🥰)
We love the 320 also! There are some things we miss about it for sure.
Thats a slick design with the bunk bed.
Slick indeed!
Very well done you two. I live about half an hour from where these are built in Sugarcreek Ohio. I have been through the plant, and was so impressive how they are built. Ya, they cost more than most, but as you both know, are worth it. I was going go get one right before the panic, but then could not get one. Hopefully in the spring of next year.
What a beautiful area! We visit a few times a year to go to the factory and always love it. I hope you can get one and come to our rallies so we can hang out!
Great review thank you!
You're welcome, Patty! Glad you enjoyed it.
Like the new bath. Think our 2020 still suits us best as a couple with myself sleeping on the dinette conversion. Thanks for the tour, makes sense for small folk travels who want a T@b.
Absolutely! Glad you liked it!
I miss seeing your pictures and the travels you two did. Be safe.
Thank you Joyce. We have had a busy year with some unexpected health issues that have kept me from posting as much as I'd like. We will get back to it!
Great presentation!!!
Thanks Joyce!
Love the upgrades!!
Me too! I'm ready to trade in! haha
Need this!!
Wow amazinggggggg!
Yessss!
Great presentation! Well done.
Thank you kindly!
Excellent presentation!
Thank you!
You do a great tour! I bought my 320 and my 400 because you sold me! Great 👍
Haha! Glad I'm so persuasive :P Good to hear from you David!
Clever bunk design!
Right!? Very sturdy too.
That's a nice review, thanks for it! That easy mounting bed in the front area resembles that third line seats in RVs, which cost a lot but almost never used
Thank you! Its quite an ingenious design
Loved your review. You hit the major changes: bunk bed (did you have to bribe Kendrick?), under bed drawer, fridge, bath and battery options. We hope to see the weight specs for the BD & 400Ahr options soon. Thanks for the comprehensive tour. Richard & Kathy in Vermont.
I could probably find the weight out for you. I'll ask the nuCamp guys at the show tomorrow. And no I didn't have to bribe kendrick... he was like a little kid I couldn't keep off the bunk ;)
Like this. Most tear drop have outside kitchen. Yours inside
Yep. Rather than a traditional teardrop, this is more of a "teardrop shaped camper". A great option!
Awesome M and K!
Thank you Dr. Mott!
Very Cool! 😎
Thank you! Cheers!
It was great to meet you guys at the Overland East Expo!!!!
Yes, great to meet you too!
Wow, this is a good upgrade even for a couple. When we rented the T@B 400 that we tried out, I slept in the front and my Sweetheart slept in the back. This was a good arrangement but would be even better now the Bunk affair as it would give a larger sleeping surface in the front for me! The Lithium/Inverter upgrades etc are bang on, this is a great unit!!!!!
Yes I totally agree! And the top bunk could even be used for storage.
I need this
Wow. I love this nucamp with bunks. I would totally buy one, perfect for our mexico travels. I mean it would be ideal
It really is!
Great changes.
Indeed!
Loving the new upgrades, great job on the video. Hope y’all are doing well. Keep an eye on the tall fellow. 😀
Trying my best ;) He's getting better day by day!
The is Super Cool, gonna look for this tomorrow and see if they can get it. I want this.
Awesome! You may have to put in an order but it shouldn't take long depending on where you are
@@MandyLea Sweet , Thank You
Nice review, entertaining also. 👍🥃🏴
Haha, we try :)
Really appreciate you guys showing us that an adult could use the bunk beds. If you wanted to use the bottom bed only, do you need to put up the top bunk to get the necessary width to the bottom bed? Great video - thank you!!
Love it!! Too bad too heavy for my Outback to pull
Cool
Thank you!
Bunks is a game changer
Was looking at an Airstream BaseCamp 16 ...but now seriously thinking about this TAB 400 trailer (especially with the optional 4x lithium batteries). Thanks for the video!
For sure! Hope you can see one in person soon!
@@MandyLea Got to see a TAB400 Boondock at the Overland Expo East last weekend! Think it was a 2022 but really liked it.
@@paullondon445 I was at the expo! Did I miss you? Yes, it was a boondock version that we had there.
Sorry I missed you …would have definitely said hi! If I go the teardrop route then it’s going to be a TAB 400 Boondock with the 400Ah lithium so will wait for the 2023s. Thanks for all the great info you guys put out on these trailers!
Thanks for sharing! The back window and bed height appears to have changed? Safe travels!
Nope, no change to that - adding the bunk probably just makes it look different!
Well done 🏁👍🎯
Best regards from Germany
Ulf
Thank you!
Now I want one 😂
LOL. My job here is done ;)
Wow, I really like it! You do need an upgrade :)
haha, right!?
Really nice tour. Is there a window in that bathroom? thought i saw a shade. Very nice. Hubby just wants a recliner option or a hack for one
The front window big, it spans both the top and part of the bottom
Awesome Presentation Mandy..probably too expensive for me..lol
Thanks for watching!
Just needs deep sink, electric cooker and a better door on bathroom. One other thing. A bigger freezer.
Way too small. Could be above or under the fridge. Would I buy?? I would make adjustments or look for other model. But the sleeping area is good! The bunks are great opening and closing.
I agree, need a much more functional size deep/wide sink.
Thanks for the walkthrough. I am surprised that the bathroom/shower is not more encompassed for waterproofing, kinda like a one-piece shower. At the 4:54 mark, it shows a silicon seal bead against what appears to be wood panelling. That looks like it could be a potential problem site for water ingress. Thoughts?
Great walkthrough ! will you guys be at the Tampa show in January ?
Yes we will!! Come see us!
If they made the option to turn the top bunk into a standing desk that would make a serious workstation
Who in fuck wants a workstation in a damned camping trailer?
@@disgruntledpedant2755people who live in it full time and who work full time remote. Not everyone uses these for vacations.
I would 100 percent be sold on this camper if only it was 4 season
Magnífica revisión de un producto sin duda top, la T@b 400 la conocco desde hace años y siempre me ha fascinado, en Europa también se comercializa y sin duda tendría una en mi garaje, pero no entra... así que tengo una Rapido Club 330 que me tiene enamorado, el interior lo he redistribuido, acondicionado y equipado a mi gusto...parecido a la T@b, pero solo para 2 personas.
Nunca he entendido que esconde o cómo se justifica el panel delante de la ventana redonda del comedor...es un espacio muy valioso.
La batería de litio con panel solar es de lo mejor, aunque 100Ah son insuficientes para un horno microondas, en mi caravana llevo batería de 126Ah con panel de 200W y no se me ocurría instalar un microondas...lo que si llevo es un frigorífico de compresor, ideal para escapadas de 1 o 2 noches por su rapidez enfriando. La nueva posición del frigorífico en la T@b es perfecta y el baño realmente habitable. Felicidades por ese magnífico producto, las ventas están aseguradas. Saludos desde España.
¡Gracias por sus amables palabras! Tiene razón en que el microondas no puede funcionar con las baterías, debe estar enchufado. Sin embargo, eso no es diferente de lo que ha sido en el pasado. Existe la opción de actualizar a 4 baterías de 100 Ah y un inversor de 3000 W. Esto hará funcionar el aire acondicionado. ¡Me alegro de que te gusten los campistas!
Good to hear from you, Mandy! I hope Kendrick is doing better. Rosa kept me informed of your posts and I was praying. 🙏
Thank you so much Jody! Yes, he is doing better and recovering day by day!
the only thing I like more than my 2021 is the lithium. but I really cannot complain about my AGMs and can run my AC off a small propane generator... and really, you don't want to be in a small trailer with AC anyways... you want to avoid being in conditions where you need AC and that's the mountains. also, the fridge relying on batteries is not great. I'm small so the bathroom is not a concern and I would never use the bunk so I like having a bigger table and the shelf underneath...but ohhhh, the draw under the bed as storage. I may need to figure out how to build that myself!
pretty darn cool. my lease runs out next may. looking for something like this(just me)to live in. i would like to know how much this costs, compared to other little trailers, need to start planning on living quarters. thank you. this is a neat little trailer.
it's a lot more than other small trailers and it's definitely not for full time living.... you void the warranty if you use as such
thanks for sharing us the latest and the greatest...wonder how many minutes did you take to set up the bunk bed?
Hi Judy! Thanks! Check out the video at minute 09:15 where I talk about that. Without knowing anything at all about it, it took me 4 minutes down and 3 minutes up. Now that I have done it once I think I could cut that time in half!
Is there still the option then I take it, to set the dinette up as just a single bed, and does that new table make that bed space bigger? I am only 4'11" and thought the 2022 had ample space for me there but bigger is better anyway! Thanks for all your great videos, we really enjoy them :-)
@@ladykfilmartproductions273 Hi! Yes, you can set up just the bottom as a bed if you like :)
Boy those are nice and so very close but not perfect yet. Here what would make it perfect for people with kids. Get rid of upper /top shelf in sitting area and make left side cabinet with shelves go only from top of the cushions to the bottom of where the upper bunk goes. That would add so much length to upper bunk. Then keep the upper shelf but make it on hinges with magnetic catcher or other form of lock in place mechanism, so it could be pushed up against the ceiling when upper bunk is pulled up and that would add much needed width to upper sleeping area. All these shelves look pretty but small camper needs to be very practical first and pretty in second place. I would still prefer square sink because limited counter space allows us to get collapsible insert dish dryer that can be place inside the sink after washing is done to free up the counter.
I am confused about the toilet though. What happen to cassette toilet with outside access? I want large cassette toilet option with side discharge that could be emptied by connector hose to dump but could be pulled out to final clean out and disinfecting. That would make the T&B 400 absolutely best, perfect small trailer on a market. I am loving idea of not having microwave. Who the heck goes camping outdoors to use microwave? That was insane to me. Thank you Mandy for detailed presentation.
These "teardrop" caravans always have been the cutest albeit most impractical ones.
Too bad that many people think that cuteness is the most valid criterion and spend a lot of money on this.
Sure wish they would move those two flip valves for the alde out from under the bed!
Great video, Mandy (& friend )! Love ❤ the upgrades!!! I have 2 questions ~~~ Does it have a cassette toilet ? ~~~ Can you make the top bunk ‘only’ and still keep the dinette ?
Unfortunately this model does not yet have a cassette toilet. It has a black tank. However, YES! You can make the top bunk only :)
@@MandyLea thanks Mandy!!!
We were looking at this model and was torn between the 320 and the 400 model. I wanted the separate eating area and like the bathroom of the 400 model better but..
Hej Mandy, what version ( colour version) is the green/gray tab400 with the yellow stripe? Thanks for all your good info 🖖
Given it's a Boondocks edition, I wonder if they'll ever add a cassette toilet option? Thank you for the walk-thru.
They haven't yet but we are hoping they do!!
just get a nature's head... dealing with a cassette is awful
I love nucamp so much- I just WISH the door to the storage outside was bigger, larger fridge, and sink head taller….I image dishes being slightly difficult to do in its current state.
Anxiously awaiting an updated Barefoot tour.
I could do another tour (the most recent prototype is here) - but honestly not much has changed in it.
@@MandyLea Hi! If not much has changed then no need to do another one. Thanks though!
Excellent! Is the exterior 18'3" including the tongue?
Yep!
Hi Mandy, we have the 400 boondock. Those sturdy handles you talk about aren't sturdy at all! I've lost two handle covers already. It's a two piece handle. The first time you want to twist your trailer to get that perfect view, those handles break some little tabs inside. Then when your driving down the road they fly off. To fix this we use zip-ties to keep the covers from flying off. You don't really notice them. IMO our older 230 we had, had stronger one piece handles. Maybe you can pass that onto the design people. Really like your channel and miss your videos you guy's put out there in the "CZcamss".
P.s. we still really like your tab.
Hi Mark! That is crazy. We have been in ours for 3.5 years and have never had a problem with the handles... but I will definitely pass that along to nuCamp as I will see them again tomorrow :) Thanks for the compliment... I really want to put out more videos, its just been a very busy year for us, and maybe you can tell I'm a little picky when it comes to my editing :)
@@MandyLea it's all good! You and Kendrick seem pretty cool. We hope to make it to a rally someday. I wish I had the courage to follow my dreams. Good on-ya!😀
@@marklundeen1025 I hope you can make it out too. Would be fun to share a campfire!! And really, will pass the info on tomorrow to nuCamp!
I lost covers too and had to pay a lot to replace them
How much does this usually run for? The boondock edition. Thank you
Wow, nice design, what’s the price?
Thx for fast forwarding! No price?!
Price will really depend on dealer which can vary with the different options, location, and market... You can expect a range between 40-48k
I love it.. but that tongue weight. I wish campers like this could be more compatible with Jeep Wranglers. It would be a perfect little set up for a Wrangler, but that tongue weight is just too high. Thanks for the great & informative video!
Check out the TAB 320, it's like the younger sibling to the 400 and the wrangler would do great with it!
Hi Mandy, how tall is it inside the tab 320 or 400. Is it tall enough for a 6’ tall person to stand straight up.
how would you run the ac w/out the batteries?
This unit was plugged into shore power at the time of the tour.
I have a sister in law who has just invited herself and her husband on our vacation saying they will use the bunk bed. Is there a weight limit asking for a friend.
I don't think weight should be a problem. It is rated over 250 lbs. That being said, the top bunk is very small. More suited for a child than an adult.
Cool vid. I think you should tell the price
It is impossible for me to give a price as they vary so much. The price will depend on your dealer, location, camper options, and the market at the time. I do not want to be held responsible for any pricing EVER! :)
Hey wait! How much do these cost??
No mention of price?
Is it all seasons now or no?
Still just 3 season
Independent suspension?
I wish! But no... these are meant for light off-roading, not rock crawling...
Now what will this be priced at??
Hey Mandy are you and Kendrick going to purchase this model?
We might trade in! We've been in our current one for 3.5 years now.
@@MandyLea It Might be time! 🤭😏
thanks :) $?
Is this all wooden construction?
Nope! The trailer frame is aluminum with azdel walls
how much is this in Canada, base model?
I'm not sure but you can find a dealer in canada on their website at www.nucamprv.com
