Will hope be restored

I could have started this with “faith” or “trust”. But at the moment. It’s hope. My wife and I (in our 50s) have had about 13 rv’s over our 32 years of marriage. We have had it all. Trucks and campers, 5 th wheels, bumper pulls, tent trailers, motorhome, and even 2 roof top tents. The last trailer we bought, we bought brand new. A 19 foot Jaco. We owned it two years and took a 10k loss when we sold it. It fell apart. Was put together with staples, the bed collapsed and the shelves fell out of the cup boards. And we take care of our stuff. I lost faith and all hope that the RV industry is worth a darn.  Still not sure but we just pulled the trigger on a 2026 T@B 360 Black canyon with the upgraded solar system.  I have high hopes that this will not let me down. The price of these are high, hoping the quality matches. Any advice? I am willing to listen. Upgrades over the winter will be more battery storage, it has 1 100ah battery and I plan on adding 2 more. Not new to the battery world so I don’t see having issues. We don’t like the dinette setup, so both sides will turn into full couches with custom cushions and pillows. We will add a Lagun table between them. Looking at adding a Lagun bracket up near the kitchen someplace so we can have more counter at the kitchen when we are cooking and a bracket on the exterior so the table can be moved outside. Oh, and I am taking the micro out. Not sure if I will just put a net a-crossed the hole or make a door.  
Reasons for the choice. Easy to tow. We have a 4 runner and a Tacoma. Either vehicle will tow this great. I can teach my wife to tow it. So the trips are no longer just on me. No black tank. I hate messing with black tanks. Even if the poo is mine.🤨. The bathroom will be used very little but it’s there if we need it. We spend our time outside but want a warm, dry place to sleep, or set if the weather is bad. Has all the little stuff that all these other RV s lack and you have to add and upgrade. All the lights, the lp quick connect, the solar, etc. etc.
Wish me luck. New here to this community and honestly kind of excited about it.

    @Mountaintrails congratulations on your new 360! Sounds like you are very experienced as an RVer so I'm sure you'll enjoy the trailer. We love our 320.
    If you're not already aware, there is a yearly rally of T@bs sponsored by NuCamp. Takes place in Ohio. We've been fortunate to attend the last two years and really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

    Congrats and welcome to the forum!  NuCamp has high quality, but they are not perfect, so, consider that this is the first year for the 360.  Keep us posted with issues as they arise.

    Hi, I have a 2025 mid June 360CS build with about 7000 miles so far.  No issues or anything that needs to be brought back to the dealer . Very solid .

    Welcome, Mountaintrails. We bought our new-to-us 2019 T@B 400 in August, and just returned from bouncing it 5,420 miles across the country and back. Not a squeak, rattle, piece, or part out of place. Hope you'll enjoy your 360.

    Until a few weeks ago, we had a 2019 t@b 400 that we purchased new in 2019.  We had over 50k miles with two large trips from FL to AK in it.  At first, we tried to get camp sites near bathrooms.  The t@b bathroom felt too small and my wife was worried about everything getting wet, even with the 360 curtain.  Along comes the pandemic but we still want to camp - but the restrooms were closed at most camp grounds.  Saw here that another 400 owner had removed the drop down sink and replaced it with matching wood paneling.  Cost me about $100 and only took a few hours, but what a difference.  We just use the kitchen sink to brush our teeth but the space in the shower is GREAT.  We kick ourselves for not using the shower/toilet earlier but we were BRAND NEW to travel trailer camping and didn't know what we didn't know.  When I started I said until a few weeks ago - we upgraded to the new Haven 220 and sadly waved goodbye to our 400.  It had lots of great memories but as we have gotten older, the climbing over each other to go to the bathroom while stepping over our Aussie was becoming problematic.  As my wife said, it's also nice to be able to make the bed and not actually have to crawl on the bed.  
    FYI - are you having your 360 inspected by an independent RV inspector?  You said you have tons of experience so are probably smarter than anyone at the dealership, to include whomever does your PTI.
