in Introductions
Just thought I'd introduce ourselves...Jim and Joan. After a long time of considering the purchase of a T@B 320 CS S Boondock
Lite we just finalized the deal on a new 2020 model today! Didn't drive out of the dealership with the unit because weather in the Chicago area is not quite camping friendly.  We are excited about the adventures ahead.
I've been "ghosting" the forum for awhile and I've been impressed with the helpfulness and hospitality members have shown each other and "newbies". We will be in need of hints and support to help make the transition from tents to trailer successful!

    @JDA ; Welcome! If you head down to Texas to camp away from the snow (it's almost 80F today in the DFW metroplex), we have Gino's East down here now... (I'm originally from the Chicago area and still like making real pizza).

    Welcome @JDA! Will you wait til spring to take delivery and start camping? Chicago can take awhile to thaw. Winter’s a good reading season fortunately.

    What is that in the picture?   A casserole?

    @JDA welcome to the Tab family! No question is too crazy, and my personal theory is that every goof is a new campfire story, and we’ve all got them!  :)

    @JDA, congrats on the Tab purchase (an excellent model I must say) and welcome to the forum!

    @JDA, welcome. You mean you were lurking? No one here has ever done that! Oh, but of course, I tease. We were all newbies once. If we pass you on the road someday, we'll be the crazies waving. Happy t@bbing!

    Heck with the calendar...I intend to do a couple of short overnight trips this month with our new T@B CS S this month to kind of figure things out...dry camping of course due to cold weather. I'm sure to have some questions. My wife and I have already scheduled a 10 day trip to Tennessee in March and I don't want that 1200 mile trip to be our maiden voyage.
    By the way, Chicago style deep dish pizza is the best!

    Hoping to have the opportunity to meet some of you on the road.
    Pictures to follow...

    Two photos (I hope they post) of my first outing with our new T@B 320...cold, snow on the ground but heat, TV and other non-water dependent systems worked great! My son, with his 2004 T@B, joined me for a wonderful father-son weekend. I'm looking forward to many more enjoyable experiences!
