    I for one don't think the " T@B " prefix should be used on this huge and fairly standard box travel trailer.

    Isn't it likely a nüCamp Aria just like nüCamp TAG, nüCamp TAB, and nüCamp Cirrus lines?

    If you don't have an FB account you probably will not see it. It's on the T@B Camping Trailers group.

    Double axle, rear north/south bed, separate toilet/shower, large fridge with separate bottom crisper drawer, closet, wrap-around front dinnette seat that supposedly makes a queen bed. No mention of length or weight.

    Patsy Miller posted it from Miller's in Perkasie. ou should be able to see it without having an account.

    About 3500 lbs.... Here is the video from their public page. Production should start in January.

    I love most of what I have seen. I wish they had found an upgrade to the windows and shades but I realize this is still in development and those could change. I love the look of the cabinets. I am still holding out for a sharper exterior look.

    From the graphic on the trailer it looks like the name is actually AVIA, like the running shoes. (Possible name conflict, like with Outback?) Look forward to seeing it in person in Hershey.

    The fridge looks the same as the one in the Cirrus (along with the nifty pantry drawer).  If so, I believe it is a two part fridge, with a bottom refrigerator drawer, not a freezer.  I'm willing to be wrong, just going off memory.

    It looks like a super nice camper.  I wouldn't know what to do with all that space.  I have useable empty space in my 320, and I could still pare down.  I travel light.

    @Travelin3D I noticed the name of AVIA too! It probably would have never registered except I worked there for 8 years from when it was a start up company and 8 employees! Back on topic--will be interesting to see if the name changes.

    On the bottom of Miller Trailer Sales homepage (official nucamp dealer) they have this note about the 2018 Hershey RV show: 

    "Most exciting though will be that NuCamp will be featuring two of their prototypes for the first time: the Aria, which will be a little bigger than the T@B 400 but a more traditional style with a queen bed on one side and the dinette will make another queen bed. The second prototype will be the new half ton Cirrus truck camper for the smaller trucks! We are excited to be the first dealership in the US to show these models, so come on out and see them! The prototypes will not be for sale, but you can place an order."

    Really quality looking Unit.  Won't fit in our shop and can't pull it with our TV.  Sticking with the 400 that we have and love.  Should pull some business from some of the upper scale units.  Know NU Camp will get it right for sure.

    Attended the Hershey show yesterday. nuCamp and Miller Trailer Sales were set up next to each other.  The new Avia is very impressive: large, of course, nicely laid out and quality materials used throughout.  Very airy with a large skylight over the dining area.  Kind of an odd bathroom set up, but someone said they may be refining that from the prototype.  Crowding made picture-taking impractical, but I'm sure others will be posting shots here.

    Patsy Miller was doing land-office business and all her units were marked "sold" with two days still to go.

    Inside the arena there were many vendors set up and I saw that Alde had a booth that was looking very lonely, so I stopped and chatted with Spencer for a bit - nice guy and I hope he gets more folks stopping by.

    All in all, a good show.  Not being a T@B owner yet, I have to say that after looking over miles (literally) of other brands I would not buy anything else.  I was explaining the Alde compared to furnace systems to another attendee and she asked me if I had a card!

    Also got to meet Patrick and Patti from "Travels with Delaney."  Very nice folks, down to earth just like their videos.

    Well, that's the news.  Hope some other T@Bbers post their reviews of the show as well.

     Smaller trucks are the Tacoma, Canyon/Colorado** and soon Ford Ranger, correct?

    Current Canyon/Colorado models are not designed to carry a slide-in camper, Bold Type Warning in Owners Manual, they are designed for towing . . . nearly everything you need to tow is standard.

    Seems like NuCamp is taking a bit of risk here.

    ** just to be clear current design Canyon/Colorado is as BIG as a 1990's full-size pickup with the exception of engine.  Newer engines are smaller but may have the same output as the 'good old days' of pickup trucks. = before they became over priced 1st vehicle instead of their work truck history =

    Four Wheel truck campers have a model for a Colorado. My bet is that nuCamp did their research, here, before producing a camper for a truck that cannot handle it.

    Canyon/Colorado Users Forum has references that the cargo box is not attached to the frame the same way as full-size trucks.

    I wonder about what it will cost

    It way too big for me now but eventually I may want something like this, especially if it is from NuCamp

    Here are a couple of videos of the Avia prototype with a good close-up look inside and outside of this 28' trailer. Do you think the bathroom is adequate?
    https://www.teardrop-quebec.net/t1557-nucamp-avia-prototype#

    As comparison, here is a bathroom from a 27' Coachmen. 





    Is this more than you need or do you expect this in a larger camper?

    @Misterbee - you find the above pictures unattractive?  That is from a Coachmen.

    @Roamey That is why there are a couple of hundred trailer manufacturers.

    Don't like one, pick another vendor.

    If a big bathroom is your deal, there is a trailer for that,  obviously not a nucamp.   Expect and need are completely individual choices.   

     I wouldn't let anyone shame you for what you want.  The absolute last place you should be is setting up your trailer and saying to your self......I wish I would have bought the other trailer because.........

    My advice would be to go to a showroom or rooms for trailers on your short list and go through your daily routine.   Tell the salesrep you need time in the trailer with out them . Make the bed and lay in it,  Go through the motions of your morning routine....motions of making a meal.   Motions of a shower and using the bathroom.  And take notes and picture of likes and dislikes.  That is what we did.

    Every trailer will have comprises.   You just need to figure out which ones are deal breakers for you

    Nice!  Loved the reclining bed, reminds me of the reclining seat in the 320. Still don't get the bath. It's a big camper, where is everyone going to keep hand towels, wash cloths, and bath towels while using them?  There isn't even a solid, flat door available to hang things on.

    I guess I don't understand the bathroom either.  So you have to straddle the toilet while you have to pull down the sink to wash your hands &/or use the mirror to get ready in the morning?  I'm glad we have other nucamp options---I like the look of the 320S with the light birch cabinets & oak flooring--just my taste.

    I see the bathroom differently, I guess. As two people are getting reading, one can have privacy in the toilet/brush your teeth/put on makeup/etc. area while the other has privacy in the shower. 

    It would be a rare occurance to be sitting down taking care of business and to need to have the faucet running at the same time. There's always the kitchen faucet, too. 

    Think of a motel room. My favorites are the one  where the shower is separate from the sink area. When my sister and I have traveled and stayed at motels, the split bathroom floor plan has been my favorite.

    Just my thoughts....
