Re: 2023 400 Pics!
Thanks for catching that link. Got it through the app.VictoriaP said:Hmm. The bunk is clever design, don’t get me wrong, but I think it should have been an option rather than mandatory. New bathroom sink, on the other hand, is an improvement.
Link for those who had the above link go to an app suggestion rather than a listing: https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2023-Nucamp+Rv-TAB+400+Std.+Model-5022345501
Yeah, not sold on that bunk. It’s not really a 4-person trailer (even two kids) so adding the bunk feels forced. And I can’t imagine how little headroom they have.
Re: Miscellaneous annoyances
Try some dry lube on, and in, the door latch mechanism.
We've had trouble once or twice when the Tab wasn't well leveled, but a change in the levelers seemed to correct it.
If you want to change the lock to a combination-lock the RV-Lock is excellent.

Re: Miscellaneous annoyances
You might just need to adjust the striker plate to help the door opening/locking.
Re: Mattress alternative
Rarely in right place at right time. Was able to snag one of these at REI at 25% off (Labor Day Sale). Even if your (@Bergger) post-trip report is a thumbs down, this will be a good resting place for house guests. Again, thanks for posting!
Re: anyone use shoe covers at the RV dump site?
There's probably more splashage at the urinal in a public restroom than at a dump station. 
Re: Alde System
0* sleeping bag is really comfy at 19*F, and it’s very much a “leave no trace” warming apparatus.
Re: Right break light
If your 7 pin connector gets water in it it can cause this to happen (happened to me). I just spun the connector around and let centrifugal force remove the water. Blew on it also. Afterwards the light went out. I was more careful about keeping water out of the connector after that...no repeat of the issue.
Re: anyone use shoe covers at the RV dump site?
I use the disposable (one-time use) clear plastic gloves, drop the gloves in the waste bin (most dumps have them) then use hand sanitizer when I get in the tow vehicle. That’s it. Dumping was something we were concerned me about when we started this nearly five years ago. As it turned out, it’s one of the biggest non-events of our camping experience, and we’re frequent flyers. We rarely spill a drop and there is water around to wash it away if we do. Still, as Dutch061 said above, you need to do what makes you comfortable.
Re: Boondock Style Cargo Nets
Having issues with the installation of above window cubby nets. Purchased the 4x20", and 4 X36. Pre drilled all screw holes per suggested. Find that the screw for clamps provided pull through the clamps. Additionally I cannot for the life of me, stretch the recommended nets to fit. Others have not had these issues and I can see different screws are sometimes used. I'm using the Obie nets.
Re: Victron App Load Output Current
I'm pretty sure that "Load Output" reading is from the "load" connection on the Victron controller. I think that most T@Bs are wired so that the controller doesn't have anything wired to that connection. The devices in your camper are connected to the battery via the converter box, not via the "load" connection on the solar controller.
