Hello from Southwest Virginia

I have been lurking here for several months as I researched our T@B 400 purchase, which just went down last weekend (2020, standard, small fridge, tall closet, solar). 

Having opted to buy our first camper in the winter season I can only tinker with it in the carport until spring and not even touch anything to do with water. But maybe that's a good thing, as there is much to learn and some equipment still to acquire.

So far we're pleased with it. It towed home pretty well (about an hour) behind a 2018 Tacoma SR.

The curvy under-sink cabinet did not latch, I found out, but after some adjustments to the hinge screws it does, if with slightly misaligned doors. Only complaint so far.

I'm sure I will have questions eventually to which that I cannot find my own answers. Making this post so that my first won't be a question!

We live near Roanoke, Va., within sight of the Blue Ridge mountains. Our two children have flown the coop. Looking forward to some new experiences.

A. (and K.)

    Congrats on your Tab!

    My first "overnight" will be tonight in the carport. Just got a micro HDMI cable to plug Chromebook into the TV for some entertainment ...  :)

    Welcome! I have a 400 and Tacoma also. We live in Ohio and just returned from a trip to Florida. Really happy with both trailer and truck. I hope you make many wonderful memories with both.

    Welcome. We bought a 400 from Tonies RV in Salem December 2018. We thoroughly enjoyed it this year. You should consider joining FB group "Southeastern T@bs, T@gs and friends". We had a meet up last August at Racoon Holler near Jefferson, NC. Lots of fun. Enjoy camping in 2020!
