Hello everyone, I'm new here and recently put a deposit on a 2022 TAB 320S and I'm very excited to get it...hopefully in time for next year's camping season.
I see that Nucamp has updated their web page to include the 2022 features and I also noticed that they have a picture of the new Charcoal color option they now offer.

Has anyone ordered that color and would be willing to share a picture just to confirm?
The picture on the Nucamp web site looks a lot closer to Silver than Charcoal in my opinion so I hope it's darker than what they show.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    The new sidewall charcoal looks much darker than the silver.  It reminds me of the old Sofitel interior color.

    This is what I'm expecting in terms of color for the charcoal color. However the picture on the Nucamp web page appears to be a lot lighter.

    I almost requested my silver base be changed to charcoal, but the added price plus the fact that the darker color would absorb more heat from the sun made me stick with silver.

    I do most of my camping in heavily wooded areas so the "sun effect" is less of a concern. If I was living in more open/desert areas I may have gone a different route.

    I guess I'm still trying to figure out which of the above color I should be expecting. Does anyone know?
    I don't know what the old Sofitel color looks like and a Google search is pointing me to a hotel chain lol.

    Thanks again!

    @Maple_Geek - where did you find your first photo?  That looks to be a custom color.  Was it listed as charcoal?

    @Sharon_is_SAM I got it from a dealer near Toronto. You're probably right about it being a custom color but I liked it and was hoping it was the new charcoal one.

    They list the color as Matte gray and Snow White.  I would contact the dealer and ask them to check the color on the invoice.

    Yes I did notice they had the color name but that's ok. I think I will be ok with the charcoal color. Thanks for your input!

    The only way to know for sure is to have NuCamp send you a paint chip. The color you see on your screen can depend on your monitor, the light when the photo was taken, how the photo was edited, etc. etc. If it's important to you, you should get a chip.

    Looks like there is a good view of the Charcoal base color in this video:
