Just took delivery on a new 2021 400 Boondock and reading everything i can find about how it all works. I find the NuCamp Users Manual not helpful enough. The "Unofficial Resource Guide" written by "Dad" to his kids is fantastic, but its for the 2020 model. Any other resources other than the one-off subject matter Youtubes for the 2021??

    Not yet.  I believe an update of the Unofficial Resource Guide for the 400 may be underway.  We are waiting on input from you owners of the 2021 models!

    The Unofficial Guide is actually based on a 2019 model, which also covers the 2018.  The newer 2020/2021 models have much of rhe same layout and equipment, except 2020 has a different AC (Air8) and [the 2021 has] the new Nautilus system added.  So much of this manual applies to all to all TaB400s.

    I am willing to edit up a couple of Addendums to cover the differences on the 2020 and 2021 models, based on input from you TaB400 2020 and 2021 owners, covering the Jensen system, Nautilus setup (what works as expected what does not), location of specific bits, like the Solar MPPT controller. (Photo showing location), and access location,
    Air8 operation specifics, and photos of Air8 control panel options.  
    Nautilus operation specifics on how you use it to do the various functions.  I know some of the valves do not perform as expected.
    Operation of the larger 3-way fridge, fan switch/light function and when to use them.

    Any other tips on how you might use yiur TaB systems, and what is working and what is not working as expected.  Submissions can be made here by posting a reply, and I will collect the submissions and photos posted here to create a new add on supplement for the Unofficial TaB 400 Guide.  I will collaborate this effort with the guides original author.
    Thanks

    We have a 2021 TAB 400 Solo Boondock. Our dealer sent us off with only patched together systems and appliances manuals but not a main operating manual. I commented to NuCamp that given all of the risks and warnings in the manual we finally tracked down, every vehicle should have one, just like when you buy a car!   They sent an online version but we don’t have a printer that can handle the Fonts and color nuances in the manual so we asked that NuCamp send us one. We received A loose paper Printout by mail to us. I then took the loose printout, out it through a three whole punch, and have it organized in a binder with sections highlighted with sticky notes. There is a lot to know for a new owner!  
    I believe NuCamp should provide both a print manual (bound copy) and a video tutorial taking owners through set up and operational steps. (I also bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee Outlander and it had a manual, video and setup app included  - setup took time but was a breeze for my Jeep. We are still stumbling around learning the Tab 400!) 
    There I a lot of great technology on these things and we want to both take advantage of the features and protect it (and us) from harm!

    nüCamp does have on line video library of how to do videos of the TaB systems that are common to both models.  They need to add the two Nautilus systems to their library.

    Simbionic, we just picked up our new TAB400 Boondock. Have been trying to find manuals for it. Could you provide the link you got from NuCamp? Thanks

    I am going thru the above manual.
    I don't believe the 2021 400 has a cassette toilet correct?

    The waste water system includes:
    • Fill Level Monitor Screen
    • Gray (waste) Water Holding Tank
    • Drains
    • Cassette Toilet
    • Piping & Connection

    @runaway30, if you could send a note to customercare@nucamprv.com with a screen shot with the page number, I’m sure they would be happy to pass along the need for a correction to the proper department.
