Hey guys,
I just bought my 1st camper, a TAB 320s, Leaf and Linen series. I pick it up this Friday, and will be driving it home from Atlanta to North Augusta, SC. I've never towed anything, so I'm very nervous. I live in a townhouse and HOA says I can't park it here. I've found a parking space, but it's not covered. What do u guys use to cover your tabs? The Nu camp cover is $500. I found a cheaper one on CarCover,com. It is $189, and it covers up to a 16'2" trailer, so it would work. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Also, looking for an awning, or some kind of shade cover.
Thanks,
Donna

    We bought this for our 320 CS. It lasted a couple years: https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Accessories-PolyPro-Teardrop-Trailers/dp/B01IU4BE6G/ref=sr_1_6?crid=14BJOHTG8N75X&keywords=320+trailer+cover&qid=1690286131&sprefix=320+trailer+cover,aps,131&sr=8-6&th=1

    Congrats on the new purchase and welcome to the community! It sounds like you are going to have a bit of a learning curve but it is worth it. Owning a Tab makes camping such a pleasure and you’ll get the towing figured out in due time. We look at the giant RVs in the campgrounds and realize that most don’t understand the freedom that our smaller Tabs give us. 
    There is a lot to learn and so many knowledgeable people here to help.

    @mert1984 welcome and congratulations on your trailer! We have covered our trailer with a PahaQue cover. The trailer is usually uncovered in May and put back on somewhere between October and December. We have had it since May 2016 and it's almost new looking. It only has a few small bird doo-doo marks and we depend on it because, of course, we have Michigan winters. What we have heard is that the farther south in the country you are, the more harsh the sun is on the covers. You might get 2-3 years out of one of the less expensive covers, or maybe only a single season. The same may also be true of an expensive cover, but I think that the old addage is probably true, you know, you get what you pay for...

    Happy t@bbing!

    Welcome and you will be glad you found the forum, as folks here are both knowledgeable and helpful. Learn as much about towing as you can and be careful. I am still cautious after 3 years of practice.
