Tent campers moving up in the world

gymcoachdon

After 25 years of camping using tents, the wife and I have purchased a 2016 320 CS-S.  Looks like we will be picking it up this Saturday.
I tried to convince the wife about 4 years ago to get a Silver Shadow, or possibly a T@g, but when we went to look at them. She said T@b or bigger.
Well, that meant we needed a better tow vehicle.  Last year we got a truck, but no dealers in the area, out of sight, out of mind.

But, Thursday we drove from Indy to Akron area, traveling through Columbus.  I remembered a dealer from the area, we stopped, found the clamshell layout we had decided on 3 years ago, used.
Looking forward to our first trip soon!

Congratulations on the new T@b!

My wife and I have the same year and model. Buying that little trailer was such a great decision for us. It makes camping easy as it can be. Easy towing, and easy setup. Win!

Welcome, @gymcoachdon!  From another Indy resident, we did gain a new nüCamp dealer in Braun’s Fun Time Campers on Pendleton Pike last year.  Good luck and by all means, have fun with your new T@B!  I haven’t visited them since they became a dealer, but we exchanged a couple of private messages last fall before I went to Arizona for the winter.

@gymcoachdon, welcome to the forum, the t@b family and congratulations on your trailer! most of all, happy t@bbing!

gymcoachdon

@Verna, Yes, for about 2 weeks I was trying to get a time when the wife and I could get there to check out their T@bs, but they appeared to only have new trailers.  When the opportunity arose that we would be driving past Haydocy, well, it must have been fate!

Welcome to the forum
Same trailer here, have enjoyed camping in it. Love the galley in the back. The main reason we went with the CS-S.

Leave early tomorrow for 3-4 hour drive to pick up our baby!

Okay, here’s advice from another newbie:  before you drive off the RV lot, be sure all of the windows are latched.  Just in case the dealer doesn’t check it for you, and just in case you run into a terrific rainstorm on the trip home, and just in case you get an inch of water in the shower and soaked seat cushions.  Not that it happened to me last Saturday.

@CherylinDallas, You have NOW earned yer water wings!!! Just one more thing you absolutely won't forget for your prior to towing check list!

Very good looking CSS!  Enjoy!

@CherylinDallas Funny you should mention water problems.  I thought I would assemble my water system for "city" water set up, using my socket in my garage.  Well, apparently the faucet under the clamshell was on, and the cutting board was covering the sink, so I ended up with some water in my T@b on my first day as well!

@gymcoachdon and @CherylinDallas you both now have what I refer to as "campfire stories" and you may have both earned your indoor water feature badge! @ericnliz earned one last year for the one in his screen room... @Ratkity seems to be in charge of these now. I think...

@gymcoachdon you have a very nice looking Tab there! Congratulations, and many happy journeys ahead!

@Homebodyatheart, @ericnliz, and @ratkity, which one of you is designing the T@b University Indoor Water Feature Badge, or is this a collaborative effort?

@dragonsdofly I'm not at liberty to divulge this...

dragonsdofly

@Homebodyatheart, I see....... The secret handshake and all that.......

ericnliz

At what point can I just plead the 5th????

Cute rig, GymCoachDon!  Cute = The Best in the female part of the T@B ownership world.  I really like that white with red trim.  It looks like you have already been polishing the exterior.
