I'm 79 and wife of 57 years is 78.  Old backpackers, mountain climbers, and sailors, we appreciate the relative luxury of our 2022 320s bd.  Towing with Tesla Model Y is very easy.

I am 69 and my wife is 65. We have travelled to all of the lower 48 states and three Canadian Provinces in our 2018 400. The 400 has been a great camper for travel.

I am 73 and my wife is 74. We've towed a 320S since January of 2018. We have no issues and have towed it to most states and five Canadian provinces. We are former tent campers and backpackers. We love the 320 and if we get something bigger it will be due to loss of mobility. Otherwise, we have no desire for something larger, but recognize that's why there is chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. To each his own. (If one of us was over 6 feet tall, I'm confident we would have gone for something taller).

I am 62 and hubby is 65.  Both camping for the very first time, towing our 2020 T@b 320S.  Had to convince Mike that mosquitoes are NOT dangerous. The  ceiling is "just" the right height for us, but we make do with our Walker tent when we want open space.

70/70 here. After 11 years learning and putting tens of thousands of miles on our 4Runner/RPod combo, we finally grew up and bought a 2023 F150 Powerboost and a 2023 Tab 400 Boondock. Now we're ready for the next chapter!

I’m new to the group and currently have a 28ft Retro but lately I’ve had some scary moments with towing so downsized my 1500 Silverado to a 4x4 4 Runner and plan to trade the retro next spring for a 320s. It looks smaller and more manageable. 68 years young with a fur baby. We won’t need much more room than that. Plan to visit state parks.

@ShelbyLee68.  Welcome to the forum!  You will love both the 320S (same as mine) and this group where you can find all the information in the world about your trailer.  Please do post a photo when you get it and in the mean time, do like many of us did: study all you can about your future T@b. Lots of people travel with a fur baby.  Mine is a Blue Russian cat. Feel free to post a photo of yours with your introduction.  (You can give us a little information about you and have more people seing your post by starting a new discussion in the introduction column.)

I'm 66 and the wife is 62. We recently toured the USA in out Tab 320. We were out and about for 42 days. Great trip. No issues at all pulling the 320.  We decided to upgrade to a Tab 400 for a little more space. Picking it up on 11/24/2023 in PA. I don't foresee any issues pulling a slightly larger trailer.

We're 65 and 67 (but won't say who's who). Like many our 320 is our first camper and a massive upgrade from the tent(s) we have enjoyed.

HedCount

we are 66 and 73.  Bought our 400 last spring and logged 5 fairly short trips in it this summer/fall.  Looking forward to spending more time this year.  The 400 is small, but has everything we need, and our dog adores it.

Just picked up our new 400. We had zero issues pulling it with our Tahoe. A little longer and wider than out 320. Yes we stopped here for lunch.

Lesley_and_Ian

We are both 71 this year. We have made some adjustments. We stay in a hotel every 5 days or so.  in all honesty I'm amazed that people are doing it age 82.  Although month long trips are very different to a few days!

Towhee

We are 81 and 80.  We like to end a trip with a couple of days at a resort or nice hotel.  No problems with our 320 s bd.

CandJB

We're 73 (74 in March) and 72. Like some others, used to tent camp for years and just bought our first Camper RV this past November. Went out one time for a few days the day we bought our 320S Boondock and had weather that let us try out A/C and heat. While planning our next trip, discovered I had to have bypass surgery, so a few months of winter camping plans will have to be postponed.

I'm 66 and we got a 2018 T@B 320 about 4 yrs ago. Have but over 75,000 miles on it since retired in 2019. Having a lot of fun seeing the US and Canada and also attending rallies. Once you get things down pat, it's pretty easy. 

paddler1950

My wife and I will be 74 this year and are 1 week away from a 5000 mile round trip from Ohio to Glacier NP and Yosemite NP. We tow a 2021 T@b 400 now, but towed a 2007 Dutchman T@b around the country from 2009 to 2016.

I'm 85 and my wife passed away last year.  I've owned camping trailers, travel trailers, boat trailers, and motorhomes, since 1965.  I just purchased a T@B 400 Boondock Solo to continue enjoying camping - and to facilitate visiting my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren scattered all over New England.  The only minor challenges for me are those that require bending down to place leveling  blocks, operate the stabilizing jacks, activities at the dump station, etc. I exit the vehicle frequently to check things out when backing into a site.   I avoid the use of awnings, and the like, as being more trouble than they're worth.   When I go for a walk I always use a pair of hiking sticks - more for balance than for physical assist.   Aside from all of that, the T@B 400 is a delight to camp in, and fun to trailer with my Honda Ridgeline.  I hope to meet a lot of people at the next T@B reunion in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

I'm a 73 yr old female and have traveled solo since 2004 in various RVs. I had a medical scare in early 2021 that convinced me I shouldn't travel alone for long periods any more and maybe not at all. So I sold my van as too expensive to keep for only a few short trips a year. And went back to a tent. Which, after a bad experience last fall, I started looking for a trailer my car could tow (3500# limit). This spring, I ran across the T@B model and started looking closer at them. And finally bought one in April (2018 320S).

I've been camping with family five times this year and once a two night trip by myself. And I've enjoyed myself in it. Is it perfect? No, but it certainly is better than a tent! I'm aiming for 80 and re-evaluating keeping it then. And I'm also re-evaluating my ability to do longer solo trips by myself. I'm planning on going to the next T@B reunion in Sugar Creek this year.

I'm 63, new retiree. I pull my nuCamp T@B 320S Boondock Black Canyon with my 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Koda rides shotgun. The max towing capacity is 3500, and my trips to Cat Scale show I'm well within the limit.

Romana

We're both 72. Use our DM T@B infrequently, but love it when we do. No issues towing, we also have a small boat, a 1962 Glasspar Seafair Sedan.

We're in our '70's with a 9yr old Border Collie  on the way to the Hot Springs in Death Valley

Purchased 2021 400BD April 2024; 74 and 70; no previous trailer camping and little other camping; so far, have made 4 2-3 night trip within our state; no substantial problems.  We bought the trailer hoping to make a 2 week trip to western park, which we hope to do this year(!).  Where can I find help planning this trip?  Or, anyone have an itinerary you'd be willing to share

BTW, TV is F150 3.5 ecoboost

Starting from Where to Which Western Park or Parks? Mountains or Desert?

@gkopan If you can narrow down what you mean by "West" that can really help.  There are just so many spectacular places....and honestly, there are not many bad choices. 

If you can find the search box on the top of the page, you can search various things that will have destination hints, park reviews, etc.

This is a quick search for Grand Canyon...which has a various threads with info. Skim through for different threads that can get you started.  Change your search term for where you might want to go.

One of my favorite threads in this group is "Post Up Some Shots Of Your Tab Setup at the camp site". The threads are long.....and now there are three different iterations of the thread now.  I've searched for specific campgrounds with this thread.

58 & 59 here. We take 2 two week vacations a year and try for one weekend a month. I can only imagine what retirement will look like. Can't wait!
