Unofficial nuCAMP T@B400 Resource Guide - Finalized

    @johnfconway, in response to your question, nüCamp does not provide a tool bag or spare fuses (except, there should be a couple spare fuses attached to the top of your Alde boiler, which is nice, because those are smaller and a little harder to come by, although I believe I purchased some additional spares through Amazon.)  @Awca12a, created the Resource Guide for reference by his family members (and friends?) who occasionally use his trailer.  Nice guy, eh?

    Thank you! I did get the common ones. The more obscure I will wait on until I see if they are different in 2020. Awca12a alluded to fuses in a toolbag in main cargo area under bed. I couldn't discern whether Nucamp provided the toolbag or it was one he put together. Is there indeed a toolbag from Nucamp?
    The PDF I posted has a reference section with checklists.  You are supposed to cut out the fuse index and use it as a insert in the amazon linked box along with the specific fuses described.   Each of the tool bags is detailed with a checklist so you know what to buy and why.  There are no for-profit links for anyone to question the motives.  Glad to see it’s still of use to people.

    We can't thank you enough for this manual! I love manuals and knowing how to get things done. The dealer walk thru was much less than I needed and this fills in some of the huge gaps AND answers the why's (nurses like to know the why's!)

    If there are any 2020 owners out there who would like to collaborate on a 2020 update - let me know.

    All you need is a 2020 and 2021 TaB400 Addendum detailing the changes from a 2019, giving proper procedure for using the Nautilus system, which is the big change p, along worth the Air8 on 2020 models.  You could also add Alde Glycol tank location change, and Inverter outlet changes.  Also add in the details in the Jensen Cube entertainment system differences.   A Addendum for the Solo would also be nice.  No need to rewrite the entire manual.

    I’m I could edit them, but someone with an 2020 and 2021/ would need to provide the information based on their model TaB400.  I have a 2018 and am familiar with the 2019 differences, and a few of the newer 2020/2021 units, but getting the details from owners of these models and the a solo would be a starting point.  I could pull all the input into their respective documents.

    @Denny16 The editing I can do but would welcome the help.  Its the details and photos that are needed.

    Or if the factory wanted to drop off a 2020 as a loaner for a few months, I'd be willing to update the manual and repost.  I'm curious myself to see what's changed.   And the offer to the factory still stands for them to take over the manual and keep updating it.

    I am a new owner of a TAB 2021 and your manual has been the MOST important document to explain to me the logistics of all the systems. THANK YOU! Is there a way to get a word copy so that I can print specific pages (checklists, electrical details, hitch & unhitch lists, etc) with out printing the entire manual? With gratitude!

    @Awca12a First, your resource guide is my "bible". I have a TAB 2020 BDL/Solar and was absolutely new to a trailer and towing. Without this manual it would have taken me way more time to learn about the TAB. With regard to adding content, I could send photos. I'm not quite sure of all the differences between 2019 and 2020 so some hints would be helpful. Let me know how you'd like to collaborate.

    @jadamsdpt - Glad the manual is still of use out there.  Not sure I understand the problem, are you having trouble printing individual PDF pages?

    @anba and @jadamsdpt - The factory has offered to send me photos which I'm looking forward to going through.  Not having a unit will mean I need eyes and ears to answer questions about what I'm seeing, get specs off of new equipment, perhaps open compartments and peek inside.  That help would be enormously helpful as I'll recognize what's different but not recognize what they did, how or why without hands-on help.   Appreciate the offer to assist.

    Highly appreciate this helpful document and the work that went it compiling it! It covers advanced topics that the official T@B 400 manual is not addressing.

    I too have found amazing help with the Unofficial manual for my T@B 400. @vttj you may not know that @Awca12a lost his 400 in Helene and last posted in Feb 2025 looking for input from members with newer models, particularly the Black Canyon option. A good way to help him would be to put your thoughts on his Feb post:

    @HuskyMom ymom be aware that the Nautilus system is not included in the manual. The rest is pretty close for the post 2019 models.
