I wanted to first say thanks to all of you.  In the past few months, I'm not sure a day has gone by that I haven't been on this forum to get your insights on all things T@b-related.  I'm excited to say that I pick up my buddy (haven't named it yet) in mid-Dec from Road Trip Camping in Orange, VA.  It's been so much fun researching all aspects of ownership from WDH's and brake controllers all the way to what size bed sheets to order.  I owe a lot to you guys!  I look forward to meeting you all.

    Welcome and happy camping. We love our 400 and get to use it most of the year in TN. Take it slow and ask questions if you need to. Lots of good advice on the forum.

    @GTinVA, CONGRATULATIONS on your new 400.  We drove 1,300 miles in October of 2020 to pick up our TAB 320 from Road Trip Camping.  I cannot say enough good things about RTC and Warren. We could not have had a better buying experience.

    @GTinVA welcome to the forum and congratulations on your trailer. One of our favorite sayings is "no pics, didn't happen" so we are anxiously awaiting your excited post telling us it's here and a wonderful photo of you new rig!

    Happy t@bbing!

    Thank you guys so much!  @Freespirit Warren and Bethany at RTC have been really great to work with! I count myself lucky that their only 25 mins from my house.

    @dragonsdofly I'll post a pic as soon I get the ol' boy hitched up on the 14th!

    Congrats, @GTinVA, & looking forward to seeing your first camping photos!  We haven't visited the Orange, VA dealer yet, since we got ours down in NC in 2017.  We made it our mission to visit all 23 of VA's state parks that offer RV camp sites, and about a year ago we accomplished that goal.  We're glad we did, because there are many great ones.  We're down in Chester, by the way.

    @BrianZ I'm looking forward to sharing!  We're in Charlottesville so hopefully our paths will cross in 2023.   We haven't been to as many VA state parks as we'd like, but we love Douthat and Claytor Lake.  My son and I go to First Landing for his school spring break for a little father/son time.  We love that place too.

    Welcome! I have a "local" (Virgina/Maryland etc)  T@b group on Facebook. It's for sharing trip plans for meetups and destination suggestions etc. It's DMV Teardrops. I just started it last fall so there isn't much to it yet but it will pick up as camping season approaches.

    Welcome aboard and congrats! I was in the same boat at first, researching. Then diving in, and now exchanging information.
