Re: Suspension on Tab 400 Boondock Edition
I'm with you on the suspension, rubber torsion axles are probably the worst for going down rough roads. The Dexter specs list a whopping 1.5" of up travel for an axle at load capacity. One of the hurdles when replacing the axle is that the tube serves as a cross member so you can't just remove it. Either build a replacement cross member or pull the swing arms out of the tube. Leaf springs aren't necessarily bad if they are designed for a good ride (long mono leafs or similar) but the typical trailer leaf springs aren't gonna cut it. I've been toying with the idea of coil overs which are pretty compact but do need a way of locating the axle with trailing arms or similar. Maybe next winter I'll brush up on my non-existing welding skills ....
Re: Suspension on Tab 400 Boondock Edition
Leaf springs would be my last choice. I’m surprised it was that bouncy. After having owned a tent trailer with leaf springs towing the 400 is a dream. The more overland-ready campers use coil springs and shocks but I have no idea if that could even be retrofitted.
Re: Multiple Mods - Tab 400
I like the storage mod. I did something similar for our 23' Tab 400. Removed the bunk bed and replaced it with a storage area.
Re: I have a question about drains under my 2023 320 S BD
Those are the Alde glycol drains. There is a pump that pushes through one of the drains and empties out of the other.
Re: New to NuCamp in State College, Pennsylvania
Hi @PSUSchaffy , I put a deposit down and am picking up a 320CSS from the dealer down the street from you in Juniata (wink). I live in Philly but got a great deal there. I can't wait to get my new toy!!!
Re: What would you think of this?
lkc001, you’ll get all kind of responses from sellers. I buy and sell vehicles frequently online. I like cars, rvs and boats. Many times sellers get frustrated at the numerous “looks loos” contacting and wasting their time. And it sometimes the frustration gets carried over to actual prospective buyers. I currently have a 400 for sale. Since we have no dealer within 50 miles I get a person per week just wanting to look at a NuCamp 400. Luckily it sits in my yard. I’m retired, if I’m bored, and around the house I’ll accommodate them.
Convince them you are a serious buyer if all things work out and they’ll work with you.
Or move to next available trailer.

Re: Shower Floor
To each his own. I was going for the basket weave look.
Re: Solar panel not working?
Luckily it was just a fuse! NuCamp also upgraded the 40amp breaker to a 50amp at no charge. Thanks to everyone who gave us advice on what to consider.
