TAB 360 First Time Out

I love my new TAB 360 at Assateague Island, Maryland, but my first time out was filled with the normal goofs and gaffes that everyone always have on their first outing. I won't mention the purely stupid or embarrassing things, but I will mention a few thoughts on the new 360 camper.

  • The 360 is designed as a solo camper. I think of it as optimized for a nomad worker or photographer. The single bed and table, really are best suited to a single person. I know that is obvious, but it becomes even more apparent when you live in it a bit. With that said, it is wonderfully spacious and comfortable for two people after you have been using a 320 for 6 years.
  • The custom sheets from allpro fit very tightly. The top sheet is so narrow that it is kind of worthless.
  • It still needs a topper on the cushions like every other camper bed you have ever seen.
  • The solar panels are, in my opinion poor. I will probably get into a lengthy convo in the solar forum about this, but the two panels that run front to back are not optimal to gather sun from many angles.
  • The inverter is powerful and noisy
  • The refrigerator is large. I haven't used it enough to decide if it can be sufficiently icy.
  • The complaints about the kitchen counter are unfounded. it is deeper and that increases space significantly. With the bathroom sink available for handwashing, it is a very convenient space for setting stuff
  • There is lots of space to put your crap
  • It rides much better than the 320 we had. I will need to see how it does with a full load of water, but initial returns are very hopeful.
  • The plywood with formica surfaces feels a bit icky after having the natural wood in our 320.
  • We miss the big-king sized bed of the 320
  • The screen door is easier to close and doesn't have that crack sound when closed.
  • The actual door needs to be slammed a bit to close. That may loosen up.

  • It is bigger and longer. In parking lots it feels bigger. When you park to pull-through two spaces, it is harder to get out in a small row. It's still maneuverable, but if you are coming from a smaller teardrop, you will notice that 18 inches of added length.
