Farewell and Adieu ........

 Well all, its time for us to say goodbye to our (very much loved) 2019 T@B 320s . We have thoroughly enjoyed our time and trips with it . In the end .......its just too "tight"  for us . Not too mention, I think I have permanent scars on my forehead ........you all know what I am talking about, lol  ;) . After acquiring a new pup (Golden Retriever) in the summer of 2020 , it really hit home , that our 320 is not going to work for us any longer . We have been looking for a suitable RV that checked all the "boxes" for our traveling adventures for quite some time , and have watched exhaustive hours of you tube videos on new RV walk thorough's (Thanks Josh @ Haylett RV for all the videos) !  Its tougher shopping for RV's with no RV shows due to Covid ! Anyway , we have been searching for something right between our T@B 320 , and our "Big" 32' Keystone Outback (which is TOO big for us to travel stress free) . Kind of like Goldilocks ........not too big, and not too small - right in between - just right ! lol 

BIG hint to NuCamp ............ we REALLY wished something between the 400 and Avia was at least an option .  T@B 400 wont work for us because we are not sleeping sideways , and Avia is just too big for what we need . Maybe something like a "500" or Mini Avia , would bridge the gap , and give previous T@B owners something to "move up" too . We are VERY happy with the quality of NuCamp , VERY HAPPY , but sadly , nothing else exists in the NuCamp lineup that we can move up too . Actually shopping for "other" Rv's was quite daunting , as we are used to the NuCamp quality . Short of a $100K Airsteam or a $65K Lance , its tough to find RV's that compare to NuCamp quality . Sigh ........

In the end , we settled on a WInnebago Micro Mini 2108 TB . It was the closest RV that checked all our "boxes", we could find that was remotely similar to our NuCamp T@B 320 . We special ordered a 2022 unit,  due to arrive in June . Luckily, our dealer had 4 upcoming production slots for the model we wanted , and was able to "tweak" the order sheet to suit our needs . Not many options available, as the 2108TB comes pretty well loaded up anyway . We just upgraded to a 15k A/C unit , the new  Dometic 10 cubic foot 12v compressor fridge/freezer (not dealing with a  3 way absorption fridge ever  again, lol!) and 30 lbs propane bottles over the stock 20's . Should suit us perfectly , and our tow rig (2001 Suburban 2500 8.1 ) will handle it with ease to make for an easy tow .  

Not ours ..........but here is exactly what it looks like . It kind of feels like our T@B to us (even though it not) , but GIANT sized! . That said, it will be a sad day , when our 320 rolls out of our driveway for the last time . :|  



And one last picture of our beloved 320s ............



Just wanted to also thank you all , for all the information, help looking for solutions to common issues we all deal with occasionally , and all the various ,and "genius" modifications we all make to our beloved NuCamp T@B's . Thanks for letting us become part of the family .  

We will be back, if NuCamp ever decides to manufacture a "500" 
So for now .........so long and farewell , and thanks again .

    @B0atguy, from one 2019 320S owner to another, best of luck to you.  It looks like your new home away from home was the right move for your camping needs and will no doubt serve you well.

    Best of luck with your Micro Winnie!  I hope you find a good community forum like we have here.  I think we all understand the value of owners helping owners.

    @BOatguy, happy camping. Perhaps not adieu, but just a distancing..... Please check in from time to time just to see what is new, particularly with nuCamp. You just don't know what may be coming in the future. In the meantime, fair weather, good roads and great adventures to you.    -Denise and Jim

    Thanks , and yes , perhaps not adieu . With any luck, NuCamp will be see the HUGE demand for a midsize high quality RV (a little bigger than 320/400) and we will be back in !
