New to T@B -- and the whole shebang!

otterhere · February 2015

Have just recently hit upon this idea for retirement (in two years); lots to learn and glad I have time in which to learn it! Having thumbed through a few versions in my research thus far (Shasta Airflyte reissue, Sunset Sunray, Scamp, and Casita), I THINK I've settled on the Little Guy T@B Basic S. Looking forward to spending lots of time here; thanks for having me.

Welcome aboard.
I looked at the Shasta & Casita also and settled on the T@B - Couldn't be happier.

Welcome, Outterhere. I looked at several other options, too, but I think the T@B feels more "homey," and the construction and upgrades are much better. You will quickly become T@B-obsessed. I bought my T@B one year ago and have one year left before I can retire. I have appreciated the time to get to learn about towing and everything else new to me (batteries, winterizing, de-winterizing, propane, etc.) Have fun!!!!

we looked at Casitas for years...two deciding factors: 1) You have to get a big one for a big bed (I'm 6ft1in), and 2) there are no Casita dealers (and our one RV dealer doesn't like them)...our T@B dealer is only 20 miles away.

I'll likely purchase before retirement in order to "practice" and familiarize myself with everything before setting out. I also wouldn't mind using it for weekend getaways close to home if friends will let me boondock in their driveways; much cheaper than hotel rooms! Having a dealer just a few hours away helps, too...

Thanks, everyone!

Welcome aboard otterhere.

We are primarily weekend campers (and occasionally longer), a long way from retirement. The T@B fits us very well as it is easy to setup, easy to tow, allows stand-up space, and can be stored at home because it fits in the space we have. Many of those others offer the same, but I also like the look and craftsmanship in the T@B, which is something I don't think you get with some of the others.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. The more I research, the more I think just the Basic will do me just fine. Will have to figure out a tow vehicle (I drive a tiny economy car) and the toilet facilities (would like to dry camp), but EXCITED; will look around your forum now. Go small or go home!
