Hello Everyone, Longtime viewer and new member to the forum. Tomorrow we will be picking up our new T@B CS-S M@X from the factory. My wife and I have recently retired, so the cross country journey from Portland, Oregon was something we finally have time to do. We are looking forward to many more journeys in our new baby and maybe meeting some of you along the way. Hopefully some pictures tomorrow. Brian Kirk Portland Oregon

    Hi Brian - What part of Portland do you live in? My son, daughter-in-law and grandson live there so I get up there whenever I can. Have seen a few T@Bs in their neighborhood and also plan on spending some time there when I retire (in my soon-to-be acquired T@B)! Hope your journey back is a fun one! Michele

    You never really travel alone. The world is full of friends waiting to get to know you!

    Oh, yeah, I remember that white-knuckle trip back from the dealer last year, December 7, 2013.  It was 9 degrees and a little snow where I live here in Denver, Colorado .  It all turned out okay.   :) :)Congratulations!!!  I had a great first year in my T@B, and I'm looking forward to more adventures next year.  Have fun.  Take it slow.  Welcome to the Forum.  =D>

    Update: Picked up the trailer on Tuesday. It was perfect. We have moved to warmer weather for our travel home. In Memphis now after a great Thanksgiving with friends in Indiana. I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good. Attached a couple pictures. We replaced the front bench seat on the CS-S with a custom cabinet with sink and removed the sink out of the bath. I attached a couple picture below. Brian - Portland Or.

    Walloe, we had the same idea on the cabinet. We added the 110 plug also. We kept the fridge but have two large AGM batteries inside the new diamond plate box which is a little bigger than the plastic propane cover and has a very solid floor with the front platform under it.

    I guess I have been out of the loop on these upgrades as I was amazed to see the cool looking diamond plate storage area on the front.  Is this a "new option" on the T@B units?   I discussed this in the past with Scott Hubble at the factory and he said they were exploring diamond plate cowlings on the front with a company, so it appears they had some success.  I would be interested in seeing some photographs of the interior and construction of this box if you could post some up when time permits.  

    Your trailer looks awesome!

    Works on my iPad. Click on the little square twice, and it should show up.

    Double click does not work on my IPad; however, if I just hold on the square a window pops up asking if I would like to open it. It then shows the image link and let's me view the pic when I click on the link.

    Here is a picture of the compartment door. We use this compartment for the power cord, water hose etc. It makes it nice for setting up without lifting the bench bottom which we will typically have made into a bed.

    Hi Brian - Congrats on your new T@B! We're in Seattle but may camp at Seaside next year. Our favorite WA campsite so far is the Port Townsend Marina. We'll be there next year for Memorial Day. Hope to see you around the PNW!

    Hi SunnyTab and Brian, is the Port Townsend Marina a park?  Can you reserve a spot? Additionally, I have a spot at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Sept 11-13th for the Wooden Boat Festival.  Would be wonderful to meet up on the trail in 2015.  ;)
