I noticed the location of the solar panel on the 400 is in front. I wonder if it could be add to my 2019? I think the two panels would create power all day if the camper was parked North/South.
I also love the tree graphics.

The solar panels on the 2021 400 are placed just behind the roof vent, in between the vent and the the rear window.  The factory can add the solar to yours.  Hopefully they'll add the wilderness graphics to the 400 sometime soon.  When we ordered our 2021 400 that graphic was only an option on the 320.  The photo of the 400 they have on the site with the trees is not a factory graphic option.  I think we are going to add some graphics to the front of ours, just under the window.

I am still not seeing any on dealers lots though in the Southeast. Hopefully soon.

Where are you looking? I did see some in NC about a month ago. I am afraid that Covid has slowed everything down, including getting the new models to dealers.The factory has been shut down for weeks.

I am in NW Florida so I have to travel to Ms, Al, or across to Jacksonville Fl.  Nothing very close to me so I have to rely on their websites.     I will keep looking.

The pictures of the light wood interior look so nice. It makes me want to upgrade once the world starts to return to normal (hopefully for summer 2021). An interior toilet would be such a luxury.

Are there plans available to build that clamshell twin bed expansion? (not of PVC pipe). Love the flat cabinet fronts.

Sharon_is_SAM

I know they refer to the clamshell split bed, but you can’t sleep front to back (only 58 inches).  I look at the new design as an easier way to assemble the bed without additional slats.  I suspect that most solo CS campers make a single bed across the rear.

I reached out to Austin at NuCamp and asked about the front solar shown in the photo of the 2021. It is indeed in the front of the unit.


He said it could be added to my 2019 but it would need another controller. He quoted a price for the work. It would be expensive but I think it would be a great solution without having to carry a suitcase.

Denny16

Yes, yes it would — nice addition.  What was the cost Austin quoted?
cheers

JeffroNC

@Denny16 it was $1950 with a new controller.

Denny16

Thanks, figured it was in the $2K neighborhood.
cheers

I added it to my 320 last year and I love 9t. It performs really well, I don't have to worry about theft, and no more fuss at set up and tear down.

That's odd.  Our 2021 has the solar panel in the traditional location behind the exhaust fan. Maybe they've moved it since our build.  And that looks more like a 2020  model with some modifications.  It's doesn't look to have the nautilus water system and has all the old hook ups and alde access door.   Regardless of where the panel is mounted it can be added to any 400. It is a great option.  We also had them add a solar plug so we could also use our suitcase if needed. 

Denny16

We have have the one piece rear solar panel, and adding one to the front would double the solar charging capacity, or extend it asbthe sun goes from one end to the other.

Yes, that's a picture of a 2020 model...notice no Coolcat vent...and as you mention, no Nautilus system door, which is definitely on all the 2021 models.

Anyone know why the stargazer window was moved up?

Verna

@Mconner, you will get a factory response if you send an email to customercare@nucamprv.com.

Our dealer mentioned that the stargazer window was moved up -10" I believe- to give more room to the person sleeping closest to the window.
We have the new 2021 and it is super comfortable near the window, but having never slept in a 2020 or earlier, don't know if it makes that much of a difference.

I think I will go with a suitcase since I would never recap the expense of installing solar on the camper and I would have more options in placement. I tow with an F150 so I have room to store them.

As for me, it was more about convenience and not having to worry about theft.

Our 400 sits in our driveway with the panels pointing north, and even in the winter months, I’ve noticed enough generation to keep the batteries topped up and I don’t have to do a single thing to get it.  I really like the simplicity.  That photo with the panels on the front must surely be a custom install?  I suppose if you really needed that much generation, it would be some clear roof real estate there, but I think it detracts from the front looks.

Unless they also changed the shape of the rear curve (which I have always thought would be a good idea) of the TAB400 I can't see how raising the window would make it more comfortable on that side of the bed.  On the other hand it might help keep somebody from damaging the screen or shade if they were a restless sleeper.
I wonder if the window is the same height or if they just took 10" off of the bottom.  Would you measure your window please?

I think it prevent blankets, and occasional feet, from contacting the window shade frame as easily...having looked at a number of T@b 400s, I think raising it might yield some actual benefits...and if it is the same length, would give a better overhead view as well.

@ChrisFix
I agree.  My son-in-law has managed to mash up the shade twice now as he thrashes around at night.  Looking at pictures on dealer websites it does look like the bottom of the window is about 10" higher on the 2021 models than on earlier models.  I couldn't tell if the window was smaller or just raised.

I just went out and measured the window on our 2021 Tab 400. 
The window sits 21-1/2 inches above the bed, measuring along the curve of the wall. The window is 50 inches long. 

How does this compare with the size and location of the stargazer window in the previous models?

It would raise the inside widow sill 10-inches from where it is on the older modeles.  I just 
measured our 2018 TaB 400, the window is 10-inches above the bed
 along the back wall.  On the downside, you loose the bottom 10-inches of see through from a TV when towing on the road.  This is how I see what is behind he trailer when on the road.
