  • The all new 2023 Tab 400 Boondock has had some new changes for the 2023 model year. I was torn and looking for something that my wife and I could adventure in throughout the summer months. I did consider and camper but found that we would be lacking in the storage needed for our journeys. Nu Camp had what we were looking for and so I made the trip to Idaho Falls and made a deal with the folks at Teton Adventures RV and we are the happy owners of a T@b 400.

    The best wet bath of any trailer ever especially since they updated the sink in 2023. Love the new bunk option. I'm petite and the dinette bed space is real comfortable for me. I tried it. Add my sleeping pad. Hubs can have the main bed for more room. Looking at a lot of trailers. Keep coming back to this one over and over

    I purchased a 2023 tab 400 also. It’s just my dog boomer and I that travel. We have been on several trips so far. We love the camper! I did make a couple of additions. I added one additional lithium battery. That works just fine with the electronic system that came with the camper. I added a soft start to the air conditioner. That way I can use the air conditioner with my 2K W generator. It works excellent! I also added a 3 inch pad to the bed. my old bones needed a little bit more cushion. I pull it with a half ton truck also. No problem pulling the camper. It catches a lot of wind, but then you just need to slow down a little. The only issue I’ve had so far is that there is some delamination of the ceiling material right around the area where it curves down to the main bed in the back. But nucamp is going to stand behind that issue. The bathroom works great for us.

      Mine delaminated in the same spot and new Camp replace the whole ceiling section for me under warranty. It is a great trailer. Safe travels, my friend.

    Beautiful travel trailer! Just wondering if you find the bed a little claustrophobic when two adults are sleeping in it? Read some complaints how the angle of the wall with the window is a little tight. Appreciate your comments. Congratulations on your purchase!!

    I just retired myself so I’m on a mission now to find the perfect camper. I seem to keep coming back to the nuCamp. We don’t have a truck. We have an SUV. That is the best thing about this camper line. They are light and small enough to be towed by an SUV. I’m torn between the 320 and 400 models. I like the separate eating area and the bathroom in the 400 model but the 400 model also seems tighter so I’m not convinced yet. Question, is the bed made up of 3 twin size mattresses? I’m sure you’re not concerned so ask your wife how she managed the bedding with this oddly sized mattress or mattresses. 😂 Thanks and enjoy your retirement!!

    • @ManCaveMayhem
      @ManCaveMayhem  Рік тому

      It’s a queen bed and my wife uses queen sheets I 🤔 think🤣 no with her to ask though.

    Hey Larry ! !
    Glad you had a good time on your Alaska trip.
    I was surprised at how fast you blew through Canada though.
    Nice trailer Looks pretty sharp.
    Personally I don't know if I would have bought one.
    I have a lot of friends with trucks and they all bought the Truck camper.
    They all want to be able to tow whatever.
    I was just curious how closely you looked at your different options.
    If your lady is the one that chose that kind of camper that's cool.
    Just curious that's all.
    Did Wes end up buying a trailer too?
    Tell Brandon don't be so camera shy.🤭😀
    You're a nice looking guy so relax.
    You're Dads just having a lot of Fun And helping people out.
    Get backing to 🇨🇦 Where I'm from.
    You really want to impress your wife take her through BC and then through to Banff in Alberta.
    Do it like a big circle Start in California come up through BC over to Alberta.
    Then back home through the States There's a lot of beautiful States.
    You'll be in your wife's good books for the next 10 years.😂

    • @ManCaveMayhem
      @ManCaveMayhem  Рік тому +1

      That’s actually the route we took and that is the way I’m going to take her going up to BC and back through Alberta. I still have more videos to post so you can see all the craziness. Canada is a gorgeous place I was very impressed! I actually like using my truck as the drive around vehicle so that worked out well I didn’t wanna have to tow another vehicle behind my truck and then I was running into storage issues also. We did a shake down trip last weekend I think the trailers going to work out well for us.

    I bought my 2021 400 from the same dealer. Ok dealer but that tech wasn't the greatest. It's NOT a 4-season camper. We had a lot of little issues (mainly the cabinets) I had to iron out myself but overall I think you'll love the camper. Customer service is unbeatable. Take the time to learn the Alde system.

      I also have a 21 boondock 400. We really like yours. We have had a few issues though. The handles on the front and rear are nice but be careful when using them to spin your trailer around. It's a two piece handle and will break and fall off when traveling down the road. I put some zipties on them and haven't had a problem since. Next is some water leaks. Take the bed apart over the water heater and all the hose bits. My first leak was at the black tank flush. There's a gray coupling that needs to be tightened. Not too tight though. Then look for all those same fittings and put your hands on them. They're all loose (at least on my trailer) don't forget the one coming from the water heater too. Now take out the cubby underneath the fridge. There's one more of those gray fittings for the water tank overflow. Your probably wondering how I know all this? My trailer has flooded a few times. I was pissed off. So I took it apart, turned the water on a waited and watched. So far it's been good. Also the window screens and door screen are not really bug tight. All this being said, we love our little trailer and have had alot of fun in it. We also got a 3" memory foam topper for the bed. For me that was great. Hope you guys have fun with your new home on wheels. There's a great forum for tabs, Facebook NuCamp owners group. Cheers.

      @@marklundeen1025 Thanks for the info I will check that out! We are having a slight warranty issue with the paneling on the walls over the bed it is delaminating but nu camp is standing behind the issue and hopefully it will be fixed soon. No flooding as of yet but I will check those areas and make sure they are tight. Thanks again my friend👍🏻

      No it can tow 11,900 pounds. It can’t carry more than 1500 pounds it’s like 1440 lbs. Weight and that’s based on the amount of people and gear that u r hauling.
