Re: SOLD! - 2017 T@B CSS, New Lithium Battery and Converter, Northeast Ohio. $19,500
We are ending our RV travels. We have been east and crossed the country four times to travel west. That’s a long trip from Ohio. It is hard being away that long when responsible for two parents in long term care. We loved our experience and we are happy that the new owners will have a good start on their TAB adventures!
HDMI Switch
I just hooked this up and thought someone might like the idea.
I bought a 3-way, HDMI switch and attached it to the back of the television with double-sided tape. I have three inputs: the digital antenna, the DVD player, and the 'fire-wire' for my phone. Now, I don't have to mess around unplugging and plugging in cords. I just select the switch for whatever device I am using.

Re: Need Replacement Trim on Front of 2018 T@B 320S
@ReenieG, I believe this is just like the keder rail insert, but it is black (7/8" wide). It may just be a matter of finding the closest size/color insert as a replacement. Should be easy to locate with a Google search. While I was searching, I found many sites sell similar trim (e.g., eTrailer):
Amazon - molding-Insert-Camper-Travel (7/8")

Re: VIN lookup/Highlander towing
Agree with @Horigan. In spite of the advertised tongue weight in 2017-2018 of around 290#, it was in fact, much heavier per owner reports. In 2019, this excess weight became more apparent as the number of customers increased and more weight checks were done and posted here. I think that it was actually in the neighborhood of 400#. Horigan has his exact number.
In 2020 in an attempt to reduce the weight, nuCamp switched to the Elwell Air8 air conditioner in the rear under bed, replacing the Dometic CoolCat A/C, among other fixes. Unfortunately, the Elwell was a problem in performance, and nuCamp went back to the CoolCat in 2021 and made other structural changes to reduce the tongue weight.
What I'm trying to say is that your vehicle would have a problem with a 2018 Tab 400 specifically due to tongue weight, but will probably also have problems with any year 400 due to the tow vehicle's 3,500# weight restriction. Once the vehicle and trailer are loaded, you exceed your max limit.

Re: hot water leak

Re: Shower Door Magnetic Strip
@Jake23 Thanks for pointing that. I looked at mine to see if it still has all its parts and it is OK but if I had to replace the magnetic strip I would first ask my dealer. If I could not have it replaced by NuCamp, I would have a look at The Gordon Glass website. I have seen a 3/16 x 1/8 x 75" magnetic strip which look similar to ours. They have many more slide-in strips with different configuration. Hope this helps.
Re: Shower Door Magnetic Strip
Thanks for your help. I had no idea this was such a common issue. The long magnet strip is in pieces now with some of them lost. Can I order directly from NuCamp to get a new one?
Re: Shower Door Magnetic Strip
Welcome to the Forums.
And, welcome to the "Shower Door Magnet" Club. Mine just got a little dab of glue. There are a couple of other suggestions in this thread.
