Researching Teardrops

Hello All! I'm new here. My husband and I are researching Teardrops. Thank you for the forum it is very helpful. We live in southeast Michigan and would like to see the Tabs in person. Does the manufacturer have a showroom? What is the best way to see them? The local dealer has 1 Little Guy and offered to order one but that's not what I want to do.

    If you were to take a trip to Sugarcreek, OH, they will give you a tour of the factory and show you everything they have to offer.  It may be easier to find another dealer that does have a few in stock.  I think General RV in Michigan usually stocks them.  Looks like Eastside doesn't expect to get one in stock until August.

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    Thank you! We check out General RV first. Does anyone tailgate with their Tabs? Seems like it would be fun.

    Haydocy RV in Columbus, OH usually has a number of T@bs in stock. Of course, only a couple of hours east of there is Sugarcreek...

    When camping with a clamshell, do you leave the back open overnight and when you leave for the day, or do you always close it up when not in use?

    If I were you I'd call Little Guy directly and ask them who the nearest dealer to you carries their T@b product. I had never heard of T@b or even imagined that something this small could offer so much, but I luckily chanced on to a T@b at a local RV show. I ordered mine as a special order from General RV in Huntley, IL, and they now carry T@b as a part of their regular line-up.

    That Packers thing must be something contiguous and persistent:  my hubby who studied for his masters degree at UoWI in Green Bay and lived there only  a couple of years is still a Packers fan... a few decades thereafter  =)

    I think you need to add some yellow and green to that TV

    Psychotherapists studied Packer fans for years and finally gave up :-)
