Are you happy with your LG T@B

Tabster

LOVE my Tabby. First RV after years of tenting. My CS is perfect. And my dealer was super helpfull. 10% down. Ordered Nov 2014. Picked it up in Feb 2015

We are very happy campers.   We were tenters for many years and then a small teardrop for a few years and have always preferred longer road trips.   We bought our first T@B, a 2014 model off a dealer lot.   When it developed water leakage problems, I brought it to Pleasant Valley for warranty repairs which the factory certainly stood behind.  Between model years, we upgraded to a 2015 S M@x.   We love the upgrades and got to choose the color we wanted.   We love everything about the T@B and look forward to many memorable travels.

Just curious, what are the usual % requirements for a deposit for your T@b order?  Also, Jenn, did you consider the Canton RV dealer here in Ohio?  They are even closer to the factory.

My dealer did not want any more than $500. I offered more, he said no.

Interesting. Miller in PA told me they want 75% of the total before they even place an order. That doesn't sound reasonable to me.
I know dealers will all be different; I also realize that I'll probably need to travel 4+ hours to speak with more dealerships since there's only 1 within an hour from me.
What is a reasonable amount down? 
I'll probably finance about 1/4 the total.

Our deposit at ordering was $2000, an even number close to 10%. In no case would I have made a deposit for more than the limit at small claims court.

That makes more sense to me. 
Did your t@b ever arrive, Photomom?!

Our dealer asked for $500 and I'd say after one 2.5week trip we are pleased. Even if my husband is too tall for the T@B, we make it work.

I like ours so far after a few trips and doing a few modification to suit my taste better.  I am 6'-4" tall and the wife is a little squirt at 5'-2".  The T@B fits her perfectly.  I am ok but I do use a collapsable foot stool at Night on the door side of the bed.  I set it up and put one of the side cushions on it and it is the same height as the bead.  This give me an extra foot of length and keeps the wife out of the refrigerator at night ;0)   This simple fix works quite well for me.  The rest of the time I am usually out side or lounging inside.

We did have to get rid of that factory table and install bed slats.

When it is my turn to cook or do the dishes, I just sit on the edge of the bench or use my foot stool.  Tall people typically have long arms and I can reach almost everything from the bench or from the foot stool.

Here is the foot stool I use:

I absolutely love my LG T@b. My previous travel trailer was a 1965 canned ham that I fixed up-as much as I loved her, there were just too many quirks with regard to setting up, towing, lack of bathroom, etc. With my T@b,  I have camped in snow, rain, straight line winds, 90 degree heat, and have a great local RV repair place to do any minor things like winterizing as I bought my T@b off the lot in Madison Wis-over 300 miles away.  I think the key is being honest about your own goals for camping, what the Ta@b's limitations are, as well as what you yourself are willing to experience.

New to the teardrop world and  have spent three nights in our T@B. (Still trying to come up with a cute name.) So far we love everything about it. We have experienced a couple of glitches but figured that comes with the territory. We are sailors and although we don't own a sailboat have rented a lot and my in laws own one. There is always stuff that goes wrong and lots of maintenance and tinkering.

I am always surprised when I hear that people are unhappy with the size of the T@B and having to make and unmake the bed. It is, after all, a teardrop trailer. I think maybe renting one before purchase would be a good idea. We rented a pop-up and although we enjoyed the experience, we live in the north east and the dealer said the pop ups usually get moldy...no thank you. Had been coveting the Airstream Bambi and while doing some research came across the T@B.  The price point, quality, and cuteness factor sold us! Oh plus our hipster nieces and nephews think we are very cool.
