T@B 400L Update from Girl Camper Janine Pettit

Listen to the podcast (February 22, 2016)at 43:10 - 45:25 Chris Baum from Little Guy talks about the upcoming 400L: "This year they start prototyping a larger T@B based on the European 400. Retail sale: Spring of 2017, if all goes well. "

Below are reference images of the European T@B 400L, if you guys haven't seen them yet!

    I've seen lots of photos and a few video walk throughs. I really like the back window on them, but I would really want a more Americanized interior, more like the current PV T@B lineup.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    The additional length looks out of proportion to my eyes. And I don't like the Euro look interior at all. I'm sure LG would change that up though.

    Could also be cell phone camera lens distortion.

    Thanks for posting this.  Can't wait to see Little Guys version of the 400.  Since we are a family of 3 really need the bigger one.  We do not want to use tents for sleeping as this brings in the outside noises from other campers and my husband doesn't like tents attached as you can't see the T@B.  We are patiently waiting for this camper to be for sale.

    I talked to Elsie today and she said they are breaking ground on the factory expansion in 2 weeks. A bigger factory paves the way for the larger T@bs. The factory seems well aware of the desire for a larger T@b but my hat is off to them by controlling their growth. Companies that fail often do it during rapid growth and PV/LG seem to be handling it pretty well.

    Wow, breaking ground! Very exciting times for LG/PV!!!! I have extreme brand loyalty to LG/PV. I -so- want everything to go as smoothly as possible for their new factory. There's only one other company I have this type of brand loyalty, so I do not say these things lightly. Go LG/PV!!

    I love the 400L Euro interior design. I listened to the podcast and I am delighted to hear a similar model will be produced here.

    The curves make the interior graceful and sophisticated, and the wider range of colors is a welcome change from the dark brown on top of gray on top of lighter brown that seems standard in the US. The use of space is pretty spectacular. There is a slide out pantry, much more room under the sink, under the bed, and next to the bathroom. The bathroom design itself is homey, and there are nice silver touches throughout.

    The Euro design does not waste resources on TVs and speaker systems. Today people have smartphones and small but powerful portable bluetooth speakers and/or earphones. People can watch broadcast TV on a laptop or tablet, or use it to play a DVD. Wifi connects to online accounts for movies and TV shows.

    I was prepared to buy a T@B-S Maxx, a Sofitel or a Tabitha, until I saw the Euro version, the 400L. I am sure Little Guy can do as well as the German company that manufactures the 400L, and am looking forward to seeing the first ones that roll out, and hopefully buying one!

    Cailin - Am personally hoping they make it more like the current T@B - Won't even be considering it if it's like the Euro version. To each their own though.

    Yup, to each their own, but I agree with you @PXLated , would rather an Americanized version, and an option without a bath/shower.

    That is so pretty, I love the interior! I have a feeling it would require a bigger TV than what we have, so I'm ok going forward with our CS-S we ordered.

    Just saw a post on the FB forum where Scott Hubble says to look for a US version of the 400 next Spring!

    boo - agree, don't like the 400 look but the pics I've seen are all of the european model. The regular T@Bs are different there also so we'll have to see what LG/PV do to their version.
