Just finished my Shake Down Trip in my Tab 320S to Devils Fork State Park in South Carolina. My new tent worked out better than expected.

I’m CAMPING! First trip of the season with my gal group and it feels SO great to be out again! The river is running high and fast!
Unofficial nuCAMP [email protected] Resource Guide - Finalized
If you click on the link below, you will be taken to a Google Drive where we've uploaded one families view on how the [email protected] should be used & maintained. Hopefully it will grow from it's 160-pages, or be corrected, or both, based on feedback from fellow nuCAMP owners. While it was written for the 400, only 20% is really specific to the 400 and the other 80% covers things that relate to other nuCAMP models which share the Alde and holding tank systems. The modifications apply to anyone with a battery or who want to winter camp with holding tanks.
We will be maintaining the PDF and the YouTube playlist as appropriate on the Google Drive. Many of the Facebook users don't use the Forum and many of the Forum users don't use Facebook but the community is on both. Moreover, Google is hosting the PDF for free and it links nicely to the YouTube videos that are referenced within.
Hopefully you find this of value but please recognize this is one families, NON-EXPERT opinion on how things should be done. Following any advice other than what is provided in the nuCAMP manuals is at YOUR OWN RISK and we take no responsibility for how someone may interpret or even mis-use what was written.
It was formatted to be printed on A5 loose-leaf paper to make it approachable to carry and read.

I am so proud of my Uncle, Grandfather, Dad and his sister, my Aunt for their service in the military. My aunt passed in 2011, but was a Sgt-Major and in the Marines for 28 years. She signed up in 1954 and retired in '82. So proud. I wore her brass hat pin this weekend in Rolling Thunder. I'm proud to be part of a military family and all those who serve in any way - including volunteers to who help our vets selflessly!!! A big Thank You to everyone for your service and support. Everyone is important.

What it is like to stop at a County Fair Grounds RV Park mid-week during planting season . . . .

James Floyd State Park, Georgia. Nice weather this week.

Ponderosa Campground, Payson, AZ, part of the National Forest services. Water available, dump available for $10, bear boxes at each campground, and large Ponderosa Pines.
And the the first picture is why I stopped in the early afternoon! Luckily the snow didn’t stick to the roads.

Maiden voyage!
My friend and I are both new owners and took a short trip earlier this week about an hour up the road for 2 nights. Everything went perfect! The picture of us going down the road was by another friend that just happened to see us and snapped the shot to send to me because she knew I was wanting something just like this. She then passed us and realized it was me! Dream->Vision->Reality.

Our camping season started this week with a trip to Shenandoah River State Park here in Virginia.
A stop on Skyline Drive in the National Park enroute to take in the view. Those senior park passes come in handy.
180° view from the state park overlook on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. RV campground is at far left down by the river.
A closer view from the overlook showing campground area. The tiny white speck at the arrow is the top of our [email protected]
A view of our site from down below. The overlook is somewhere in the trees at the top left corner.
We had gorgeous weather in the upper 70's and upper 40's to lower 50's at night, and low humidity. Some campers are visible in the trees, and this nice bike path goes right along the river.
On the blue bell section of the trail along the river, the Virginia Blue Bells were in full bloom. We were here a couple weeks later last year & they were already fading, but perfect timing this year.
The trees were just beginning to get their leaves, so not much green yet, but in a couple weeks that will all be changed.
From the bottom left to the right edge is the blue bell section of trail that starts in the campground close to our campsite #25.

2019 [email protected] 400 - Users Manual Update
The users manual which came with my new 400 is dated 2017 and doesn't cover many of the new features including something as simple as how to change a flat tire. Seeing how the unit doesn't come with a jack nor any stickers saying "PLACE HERE" and the factory video for the 320 jacking procedure conflicts directly with the owners manual on the use of the stabilizers, I'm looking to put together an update to the manual both for my family and the NuCamp community at large. My rationale here is that the manual should be a "go-to" tool for when you are stressed and everything has gone sour and you just need a simple direct answer to what seems at the time to be a monumental issue. So, while things are calm between now and the next outing, I've started that process.
That said, I can really use some help as we've only owned our trailer for a few weeks although we've traveled in a 2017 for a month. Please use this discussion to post suggestions for what to add so this Users Manual can become a reliable tool. As a personal appeal, could someone please post an accurate procedure for changing a tire that applies to the 400 and not the factory video for the 320. Any postings by NuCamp would be greatly appreciated.
I'd also like to point out that the manual, with all its limitations, is far ahead of what NuCamp's competitors put out. Its just that it can be better and there has been so much change. Something as simple as the recommendation for cleaning the filter on the Cool Cat says to slide it out of the unit but there isn't anything explaining where it is and how to slide it out. What may seem obvious to one person is not to another making this forum both valuable and a tool to maintain a continually updated users manual.
If others think this is helpful then great. If not, I'll just update for my family and move on. Curious to see what the feedback is and hoping someone knows how to change a tire on this thing.
