These caravans as we call them in the UK were British made in the Cotswolds and were originally launched in 2015. They are made to resemble 1950s style and are quite expensive compared to lots of other caravans.
This is beautiful and well thought out. Radiant heat, great idea. I like the cassette toilet, avoids all the black tank rigamarole and saves that space, too. I must have missed the electric system part, battery and such. Outside grab handles for maneuvering, brilliant! Would add an exterior hard cover for the front glass during travel to avoid breakage and pitting. Anyone wanting solar, just use the folding panels, easier anyway for perfect placement and can park in the shade while panels are left in full sun. Quality throughout and an instant “classic”. Well done.
Not a good idea..if this is meant for off the grid camping then the battery will be lucky to last the night...also the fridge should be propane or three way powered.
Nice but I think my Tab400 is more functional with the real commode and shower, queen size bed that stays a bed and lower cost. For 40k plus, I'd look at an Oliver camper. Thanks for your review!
Escape travel trailers are nice in that price range as well. I'm interested in a fiberglass camper but I see absolutely zero reason to go look at one of these. There's better value from a bunch of different manufacturers
Yo Mandy, You are a Sweetheart. Thank you for the extensive tour and specs. Kool Rig I've been following the Barefoot since the prototype days. Love the one piece outer shell.
The closet door and storage door under the teeny closet should open the other way. Have to reach around the doors to access. This is a adorable little camper for 2 small minimalistic people and short trips. Unless I missed it, it looks like no ability to add solar, that’s is a deal breaker, you have to rely on shore power so boon-docking isn’t an option.
Seriously if you cant get past whatever it is long enough to realize that you could use a 3500w inverter generator to boondock by just charging when you need to. Come on. Solar is a virtue signal.
@@kathyadams3366 if you are pulling this then you have a vehicle. A genny to power this whole trailer would fit in the trunk or cargo area of any vehicle capable of pulling this. Generators are not that big or heavy anymore. If you are hauling with a truck, it would fit in the bed and easily be locked down not to slide around. And you can run it in the bed and power the whole trailer. And it wouldnt be hard to do a external solar for it either.
@@metamorphicorder I didn’t see a external solar port but maybe I missed it. The tow vehicle for this camper will be the main place for gear/camping equipment since there is a minuscule amount of storage on the outside and inside. I do think it’s an adorable tiny camper, for weekend trips and one maybe two small/short people.
@@kathyadams3366 you would likely have to have it installed by the dealer or a third party. You would want a generator unless you are in really good weather because if you have a really really hot day you will want ac. Again gennys to run this whole trailer are the size of a small welding machine. So they arent huge. You can use the inside of the trailer for storage as well by using shower curtain rods and adjustable canes as load locks the way truckers use load locks to stabilize their loads. Just wedge them between a load and a wall. Lots of ways to adapt to things if you want.
You have to really like rv camping to buy this trailer. The cost of the trailer and campground nights, one could travel and stay in decent hotels for a solid year, or 5 weeks a year for 10 years. I converted a cargo Trailer to a toy hauler for $3500 total. I don't feel bad if I only use it 10 nights a year.
I have mine already reserved at my dealer. They told me today they are only getting ONE, but they have it promised to me...we will see! I'm a long time customer with them. I guess I'm going to have to add solar and a TV!
I really like the layout of the Barefoot. Looks roomy and a lot of storage. Not very much counter top space tho. The only question I would have is can this be hooked up to sewers at camp sites or is it only the 5 gallon holding tank. Last but not least is the price. To me for something that small it way to high at mid 40s MSRP. Now I know once it hits the showroom’s and has been out and a lot of people like me will not like the price and they don’t sell quickly that maybe the price will come down a bit. You know as well as I do when something new hits the market that it tends to be higher price than if you wait a year or two the price does come down a little bit. So will see what happens. I will say that Nucamp does make some spacious campers. I also forgot to mention that there was one you showed that I wish I had on my Tag cl is the outside 110 outlet. Thank you Mandy for this your.
Super cute. However, the cabinet right next to the door, the doors most definitely should open up from the other side. Makes you wonder why anyone would have ok’d that.
This Barefoot is pretty awesome but I noticed the tires and the wheels are terrible for off roading and it's just to low to the ground so that would unfortunately be a deal breaker for me even though I like it very much.
Unfortunately my heart is broken... I cannot afford it ☹ ... had my heart set on getting this!!! Hope all that get it, enjoy it, have a blast, and go exploring!!!
Thanks for the video! Could comment about its 4 season capability? Like location of tanks and if they are enclosed and getting any warm heat from Alde. Thanks!
Yes there is! I don't know how I completely forgot to show that. There is storage under just 1 of the bench seats. Batteries and AC are under the other 2
@@MandyLea true. But there are folks that just want a fridge to store leftovers from restaurant meals, and there are folks that love to cook, and need space for ingredients. I’m the latter.
Very cute and elegant but it cost around the same as the 400 & little guy max with less options including only one bed. I think $25-30k seems more reasonable
I really like this except the size of refrigerator. Just not enough space for an extended vacation. There is room on the opposite wall for a larger unit. I hope this is taken into consideration.
Id love it if you could remove one side of the seating area for more room to just stand. feels a tad cramped with them and the table. Also better solar would be helpful. Otherwise though this seems great! If only I could afford it lol
Its cute but really how many couple could stand being in it. I think the bed should be smaller to fit one. And add in more storage for clothes. Great features
So disappointed that it won’t fit through a standard 8’ tall garage door. That’s a major issue in communities that won’t let you park it in your driveway or street and a storage space or lot is too expensive.
I wish they did the table post that just lowers with a handle. I think they are a hydraulic telescoping post. One handed operation. For us old folks with bad hands and weak muscles.☹
Pretty decent. Two issues: 1. Solar panels and battery 2. Too many windows. Probably end one should be solar panel, or allow adjustable slider panel on those railings, but fixed preferred. You didn't mention battery did you? Seems overpriced. I'm not sure that themed design is very functional.
@@MandyLea yep happy to accept that the angle could be throwing off the look. At the 43 second mark in the video is what i was referring to, wheel looks to be more to the rear. Great product loved it.
I don't think it's fair or honest advertising to say those tiny little fold away sinks are "one of the deepest for RV's"... Especially now that most RV's and campers have moved away from those because they aren't big enough and go for more deep residential or even industrial sinks..
From the prices i see, it doesn't equal out for what you get compared to the 400, other brands and it looks good, but as far as functionality, no. How tall is Mandy in relation to its size? Two people can't really share the 1 bed if not "close" Watch multiple reviews.
I was really liking this until I heard, "....mid-$40s." I darn near gagged on my PB&J! Nope, no way, no how. Mid-forty thousand dollars.....boggles the mind.
Baby Moon wheels! I had baby moon hubcaps on my '66 Chevy Nova Sport Coupe. That car was a real looker, but my EXhusband forged my signature on the title and sold it. For $400. It's only one of the reasons that he is an ex.
I loved it till I saw the fridge . Why would you put in such a small fridge and one so close to the floor. Most people who are going to buy this are older they do not want to have to bend down like that. We sold our last trailer because of that . If it has to go that low, a large drawer fridge would be perfect.
What a perfect little travel trailer for a Subaru Outback wilderness..... perfect for a day use on the beach......
Right!?
Thank you so much! Been waiting forever for this to come to the US!
Us too!
These caravans as we call them in the UK were British made in the Cotswolds and were originally launched in 2015. They are made to resemble 1950s style and are quite expensive compared to lots of other caravans.

Brilliant functionality and beautiful, too.
Congratulations Mandy Lea and Kendrick!
Thank you Sky Blue!! Yes, its a great setup!
Not a good idea..if this is meant for off the grid camping then the battery will be lucky to last the night...also the fridge should be propane or three way powered.
Love the cassette toilet case!❤ with a rolling function! Yes!
Yes!
Thank you for doing a video on the specs. Very informative. 😀
You're welcome! I'm glad I was finally able to
Nice but I think my Tab400 is more functional with the real commode and shower, queen size bed that stays a bed and lower cost. For 40k plus, I'd look at an Oliver camper. Thanks for your review!
I agree. And it seems you can’t beat an Oliver for holding its value.
What is an Oliver camper?
Escape travel trailers are nice in that price range as well.
I'm interested in a fiberglass camper but I see absolutely zero reason to go look at one of these. There's better value from a bunch of different manufacturers
Oliver campers are too pricey.
This cute camper is too cute but only for couple - two ppl. For three travlers...where to sleep?lol

I love this! I would need some more fun retro colors!
Hopefully more colors are to come in the future!
Well done Mandy. They are called "Moon" because Moon Hubcaps first appeared in the 50's and they resembled the Moon. What is old is new again...
Nice! I knew they were retro just didn't know the reason for the name. Makes sense!
The smallebest built and utilitarian camper. Well thought out. I love it.
Sorry Lea no pun intended when you said tongue box and were laughing i almost spilled my coffee lol 😆 awesome review as always, thanks👍
Haha, glad to give you a smile :)
Grt walk through. Love t whole design. Thank u 🍻....or🥂. Plus. Merry Christmas 🎄🎉
Thanks Woody, Merry Christmas to you too!

cute, spacious, and compact! love it!
in the late 1950s/early 1960s wheel covers like that were called "moons". They were popular with teenage boys on their cars.
I love it :) I'm glad they chose to use those
Love the cassette toilet design as it’s just like pulling a piece of luggage. Cheers!
Me too!
@@MandyLea 👍😊👍

Price please?
@@LillyKC23 I've heard the MSRP is $48,000
Congrats!! I assume you were the Powerball winner too!!
That's awesome Robyn!! I can't wait to see you on the road with it!
I'm sold on this one. I'm in.
They should make that front hutch storage (likely used for gray/black water hose) available on the tabs!
it’s like a Barbie dream camper. Very girly, love it 😊
haha! I hadn't heard that comparison but I like it!
It’s beautiful! And huge!

No you can't hook up to sewer, you just dump the cassette. But if you are in a campground with full hookups you don't have to go far to dump it :)
Awesome Tour!
Thank you very much!
Super cute. However, the cabinet right next to the door, the doors most definitely should open up from the other side. Makes you wonder why anyone would have ok’d that.
With the curved side near the door, you really can't put hinges on that side successfully.
This Barefoot is pretty awesome but I noticed the tires and the wheels are terrible for off roading and it's just to low to the ground so that would unfortunately be a deal breaker for me even though I like it very much.
Ya, it's not really made for the off-road market, more the glamping market :)
It’s designed for British festivals (like Glastonbury). 😍
Nicer than I thought 😁
"baby moon wheels@........reminiscence of the late 60's early 70's beetle that had those wheel covers on,they were called moon discs.
Great reference, thank you!
@@MandyLea I guess thy wanted the"vintage" look.......happy new year to all,from sunny(and veeerryy hot) Mauritius Island.
How heavy is it? Would I be able to pull it with my mobility scooter?
Unfortunately my heart is broken... I cannot afford it ☹ ... had my heart set on getting this!!! Hope all that get it, enjoy it, have a blast, and go exploring!!!
20 to 30% below is not unusual selling price in campers.
Well, this isn't ours, we still have our TAB 400... but it was fun to make videos about!
I'm sure prices will come down after they get production up at higher numbers.
Is there storage under the dinning seats? Or did I miss that, very sharp, great size, love the color-thank you!
Yes there is! I can't believe I missed it in the tour. One of the 3 bench seats is storage. The other two house the battery and A/C
Thanks for the video! Could comment about its 4 season capability? Like location of tanks and if they are enclosed and getting any warm heat from Alde. Thanks!
Unfortunately this is only a 3-season camper as the tanks are not insulated or heated.
OMG so nice! Love it!
Thank you! 😊
Another great video! Well done, and thank you!
Beautiful!
It is!
These are cute but I don't see the value proposition vs buying a Scamp or Casita if someone is in the market for a fiberglass travel trailer
It's really cute. The cassette toilet is something that would take some getting used to. Maybe ok for one person.
Just open all the windows and have lots of air freshener on hand. LOL
@@ralphwoehler9767 I would just have an aversion to dumping someone elses poop. I don't think I could do it. If I were single, I could empty my own.
@@angelmission I feel the same, because my poop don't smell. LOL
@@ralwoe Exactly!
Second, it is the story of my life! 🙂
Very nice Paul, we can't wait!
Hopefully we'll see it at the Tampa Super RV Show Jan 2023.
You will!
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video I have never ever slept in a trailer I'm 6'4 😀 I will Google if they are sold here
I do believe you can get nuCamp trailers up in Canada... I'd maybe contact them to see what dealer to go through.
Is there any arrangements for a tv? Great video
Nothing built-in but I'm sure you could easily find a solution!
It’s so cute 🥰
Agreed!
Mandy, do you know if there are plans to offer a lithium upgrade similar to the T@B models?
Yes I believe that is the plan, it might come with version 2 though.
Is there storage under the dining bench? What is the height in the bathroom?
Yes there is! I don't know how I completely forgot to show that. There is storage under just 1 of the bench seats. Batteries and AC are under the other 2
Fridge killed it for me.
I'm just happy it has a nice efficient fridge!
@@MandyLea true. But there are folks that just want a fridge to store leftovers from restaurant meals, and there are folks that love to cook, and need space for ingredients. I’m the latter.
Very cute
Indeed!
How cute! Hope it’s affordable!
48-50 Thousand$$
It isn't.
The reason it’s named the “Barefoot” is because you won’t be able to afford shoes afterwards.
Very cute and elegant but it cost around the same as the 400 & little guy max with less options including only one bed. I think $25-30k seems more reasonable
I'm surprised it doesn't have solar or a TV. Maybe on future models. Easy enough to add I guess too.
I believe they will be adding a solar port, but will not do panels on the roof of this one.
Needs solar. That is crazy not to have
Interesting concept. So what is the “glycol” for? Thanks!
The glycol runs through the heater/hot water system
How much is this camper. It's amazing.
Omg LOVE IT!!!!
So do we! NuCamp really delivered!
I can see the family resemblence to a T@b 320. I wonder how it will impact sales of the 320. Either way, love my 400.
Yes its a similar size to the 320 - gives folks another option for sure.
I really like this except the size of refrigerator. Just not enough space for an extended vacation. There is room on the opposite wall for a larger unit. I hope this is taken into consideration.
Love it
Id love it if you could remove one side of the seating area for more room to just stand. feels a tad cramped with them and the table. Also better solar would be helpful. Otherwise though this seems great! If only I could afford it lol
I might have missed it but did she say what the price is?
MSRP is $47.5k
what about a screen door & screens on the windows?
No screen on the door. But I do show the window screens in the video.
40k+ with 13” tires that’s not a lot of trailer for the price but it is attractive looking.
Totally agree. For that kind of money I’d go with a tried and true Casita. I love NuCamp, but this price is extreme.
Sometimes it's not about size :)
@@MandyLea It’s about value for your buck and usability 😊
No time to set up the bed but it takes time to put the bed linens on and off. Just a thought.
First time I see a lot of european parts and components in an american RV! Am I dreaming? :D
The design came from the UK!
NuCamp's T@B trailers have Euro components and design roots too.
Is there hitch weight information? Thanks
Where is 12V battery storage?
Its under one of the seats, sorry I didn't show that!!
More composting toilets please!
Agreed!
This will sell like hotcakes. Hell, I want one.
mmm... hotcakes :)
Its cute but really how many couple could stand being in it. I think the bed should be smaller to fit one. And add in more storage for clothes. Great features
I think a couple will be very comfortable in it!
Nice cushions! Not my color but well done!
agreed!
Everybody is "excited" ... for this and that.....
Where is the battery located?
I can't believe I forgot to show under the seats! The battery along with the A/C are located under the bench seats. The 3rd is all storage.
@@MandyLea so is it a lithium battery? It would be hard to vent lead-acid from an indoor compartment.
It’s so cute but really only practical for 2-3 day trips.
A lot of people prefer the cassette over the black tank. But to each their own!
Where is/are the batteries?
Batteries are stored under one of the bench seats, sorry I didn't show that!
the ONLY thing i would want different, is a larger fridge. Has a few things i actually feel is a waste of space but really nice.
So disappointed that it won’t fit through a standard 8’ tall garage door. That’s a major issue in communities that won’t let you park it in your driveway or street and a storage space or lot is too expensive.
I wish they did the table post that just lowers with a handle. I think they are a hydraulic telescoping post. One handed operation. For us old folks with bad hands and weak muscles.☹
The table is pretty lightweight, I think you'd be surprised
is there going to be a boondock option for more clearance?
I doubt it, they aren't really targeting the off-road market with this camper.
Does it have solar?
Pretty decent. Two issues:
1. Solar panels and battery
2. Too many windows. Probably end one should be solar panel, or allow adjustable slider panel on those railings, but fixed preferred.
You didn't mention battery did you?
Seems overpriced. I'm not sure that themed design is very functional.
Is solor optional?
Love it, would be even better if the wheel looked like it was evenly placed in the wheel arch.
Seems pretty even to me... maybe the photo angle is throwing off the look.
@@MandyLea yep happy to accept that the angle could be throwing off the look. At the 43 second mark in the video is what i was referring to, wheel looks to be more to the rear. Great product loved it.

Two people can't really share the 1 bed if not "close" Watch multiple reviews.
what about the floor?
What does it weigh empty
Stats at the end of the video. 2200 lbs.
Those are Moons not Baby Moons! Baby Moons are a lot smaller and show more of the Wheel!
Thanks! I didn't know!
Luv the trailer but 13 inch tires seem undersized.
Ya, its really targeted at the "glamping" market that won't be going off-road
@@MandyLea Agree
Too bad they didn't make this trailer wider and include 30 amp or the availability to install solar generator.
There is a 30amp plug for sure.
Be strong enough to be honest and kind
May peace be with you

I was really liking this until I heard, "....mid-$40s." I darn near gagged on my PB&J! Nope, no way, no how. Mid-forty thousand dollars.....boggles the mind.
At last!
Yes! At last!
Make a rugged look version called the "bearfoot" 😉
LOL! Nice idea!
This camper is for very short trips. Don’t you need solar panel which can add value to this thing.
You can easily carry portable solar panels with it if you like.
how much
MSRP in the video.
Baby Moon wheels! I had baby moon hubcaps on my '66 Chevy Nova Sport Coupe. That car was a real looker, but my EXhusband forged my signature on the title and sold it. For $400. It's only one of the reasons that he is an ex.
LOL! I'm glad you've taken care of that problem ;) Love the look of the wheels.
A small price to pay to be rid of a husband like that ,
I loved it till I saw the fridge . Why would you put in such a small fridge and one so close to the floor. Most people who are going to buy this are older they do not want to have to bend down like that. We sold our last trailer because of that . If it has to go that low, a large drawer fridge would be perfect.
A drawer fridge would certainly be interesting for them to consider in the future.
Forget the Camper, the chick is hot
