It's like waiting for our new child to be born.

I retired about five years ago and spotted a T@B for the first time.  What was that tiny trailer?  After lots of Googleing we finally found the trailer we wanted for traveling the back roads of Canada and the USA.  After waiting another 4 years for my wife to retire we were finally ready to commit.  In the time it took to wait, the T@B Outback was born.  The silver lining, it was perfect.  After so many internet searches, phone calls, RV shows, and bartering with RV dealers we got our deal.  If all goes well we will pick it up next week.  Can't wait.  Will join more in the discussions and post pictures once it arrives.. Cheers for now, Bill and Maylene.

    Cool!  Are you going to be changing your cabinet knobs to those from a "special" local company? ;)

    That's exciting! Both your retirement and a brand new Outback to celebrate your new journeys! Don't forget that as soon as NuCampRV.com has the new forum up and running we will all meet back up there. Might take a bit I suspect, but that gives you time to take lots of pics to share! Congratulations!

    @Verna Knobs are pretty far down the imminent mods list. Thanks to jkjenn we have a Victron battery monitor to install and the other kind folks (you know who you are!) who have convinced me that we need... 
    Hardwired surge protector
    Door holder for use with xl visor 
    Fantastic fan upgrade
    Rear shelf mod (not a scroll saw masterpiece)
    Air conditioner cover
    Ponder solar solutions 
    Etc (there is no end really) 

    Of course we do have a few rosewood knobs that might look awesome... Hmmmmm.... :)

    @hymie, I used some of the larger ceramic ones for my Silver Shadow.  I still have the stock ones in the T@B. Maybe I'll try carving some out of cherry to match my new tabletop and pantry......we'll see.
