edited October 2017 in Introductions

We have a T@B 400 on order, due off the line 6 Nov, 2017. White with Silver trim, Black Sentra graphic with Silver/Grey bottom stripe. 200 W solar panels and 1200/2000 inverter. We also selected Anchor (Blue) seat backs in the interior. We are also inquiring to upgrade the fan to 7350 model.


We been camping since the 70's, Motorhome since the late 80's, mostly boon docking high up in the mountains. Kids now out of the house, went back to tent camping for the last 3 years, time to get the hard cover over our heads when we want it. :)


Our TV will be a 2015 MB GLK250 diesel, lots of torque and not bad in HP 369/200. I already towed a 4000 trailer @ 75, (yes a bit overload) since recommended the TV is only @ 3500 rating (6600 in Europe - go figure) and got 25mpg over 200 miles on I-15 in Utah. I pulled a lighter trailer for 400 miles or more getting over 33mpg. All figured by math, I do track the fuel and mileage. I figure the TV will work just fine for our future trips we are dreaming about.

    Looks like my wait will be bit longer. Dealer informed me today that the 400 is on the line now, due to be completed on the 15th.

    Also was informed the delivery on sold units have a higher priority on shipping than non-sold units. It's only a 1850 mile trek it has to make on some flatbed.... :).

    This unit was ordered by the dealer back in July. The wait so far has been a long one... LOL.

    I had 1st look and chance to buy at a just delivered 400 250 miles away, but got a bit better deal on one I had to wait on.

    I purchase this one as a pre-delivered 400 with some personal preferences and upgrade.

    Congratulations @LSkrabut! I feel your pain as we ordered our 320 MaxS October '16, it arrived at the dealer the last week of January '17, and because of a very icy hard winter and a contractor issue that couldn't be resolved till the snow melted, we brought L@dybug home April 7th this year. I did have visitation rights at the dealership till I could tow her
    home!  Waiting means you have time for research and a bit of shopping!  =)

    its here, finally =)

    Buttttt

    Dealer stated to me some minor messups from the factory they will correct.

    I custom ordered a FanTastic upgraded fan Model 7350 (less amps draw, 13 speed, rain sensor, temperture sensor), factory installed it on another 400 which arrived to the dealer. Also ordered the Sentra graphics, factory did not install them but shipped inside the 400. Dealer has to correct both issues before I can pickup the 400 tomorrow. Been a long wait, should of been built on 6 Nov, then 21st, just delivered on the 5th Dec.
