T@B 360 at the Marvac RV Show

Basil48192

I checked out the the 360 at the Fall RV show in Novi, MI yesterday.  I have to say that, in person, they are much more appealing than I expected from the videos I've seen.  The extra space is really apparent and I like the kitchen set-up...even though there is less open counter space. 
My only concern (aside from the price!) is the width of the unit.  I boondock quite a bit and really like the fact that my 320 is the same, exact width as my truck.  I know people pull wide vehicles all the time, but I've always felt comfortable knowing that if my truck makes it through a narrow opening....so will my T@B.

Hi,  

We saw one a few weeks ago while camping but today went to a local dealer for a much closer inspection.  A few observations (obviously my opinion).

Overall it's very nice, felt bigger and open.  Besides the obvious increase in physical dimensions, the shower is slightly bigger (taller)  and you can  reach the sink easier to wash your hands making  it useful.  The center night stand is nice, the slightly larger twin beds than the S (for twin position) is also very  nice.

- Both the Alde AC and battery compartments under the seats have the wood covers or the seat benches screwed closed.  Not a deal breaker, but for those who like to "tinker" or do continuous inspections, not easy to access, especially the side that has the ratchet seat back.  It's probably only a matter of time before the wood screws strip out of the holes or are just left out.

-Just comparing to my '21, the fit and finish was not as "crisp" or tight as my '21.  It's by no means terrible and as we all know a cut above almost all others, but IMO not as good as my 320.  I know many say the post covid trailers were not built as well as  previous years, but my '21 is solid and tight in all aspects.   The drawers and cabinets seemed to be lighter grade wood and just did not feel as solid.  Others may see it differently. 

-One of the two main reasons we went to look was to see how easy and/or quick it is to raise the table from the "sleeping position".  I'm an early riser and usually make my coffee inside while my wife continues to sleep.  We leave our homemade indoor table (with drop leaf sides) against the door at night and in the morning,  I can quietly roll my side up and put the table up in less than a minute and be ready for my coffee.  I probably  just need more practice since it was new to me, but the 360 seems less efficient and quick with the new set up. Lifting the table, extending the leg and snapping in the table edge took more work than how I do it today.  I realize it was not designed to be silent and quick..but this is one of things I am looking at  that may convince us to trade up.

-We are not convinced it has any more storage than our 320 (no measurements taken to do an actual comparison..just what it felt like to us).  The available storage  is probably a bit easier to access than a 320.  We changed our  rear seats to open from the front and use that space a lot along with all the other cubbies.  We also  get a lot of good storage from the upper rear cabinets.  I moved my lithium batteries next to the Air 8 and we also make use of the passenger side wheel well for lots of things.

Camp/Travel On!

I definitely agree with you on the overall 'quality' feel.  I also have a 2021 'S' and love the cabinetry and finishes.  I was trying to determine what the 360 cabinets were made of...definitely not the robust, multi-layer plywood of my 2021.

Hi, is the overall size similar to the Ultimate version but with the similar 320 features? Since they have the larger structure tooling this may have been an easy justication for designing an in between model.

We're pretty happy with the 360 so far! Were gone with it the entire month of September (5000 miles) and out again this weekend for a local trip. Just relaxing after a fall color mountain bike ride. It feels twice the size of the 320 we looked at. I'm making some mods and upgrades; nothing is perfect. Overall, it feels like the right choice for us.
