Hello everyone! 

I have been lurking here for a few months now and thought it was time to become an active participant!

Our T@b M@x CS-S Sofitel is on order and expected to arrive late September-ish.  We have not camped much together but I camped in a mid-70's Shasta as a child and husband is retired military--so he's boondocked a lot!

The husband found his "mid-life crisis vehicle"--Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon--and we began talking about camping...then it was all about what the jeep could tow.  We looked at a few trailers on dealer lots and could not find anything light enough that we liked (brown, beige, brown and more brown, and built with toothpicks). 
I found the T@b online after looking at vintage trailers and then other teardrops and the Silver Shadow.  So, after lots of research and reading this forum, here we are excitedly waiting for our new "baby" to arrive! 

We are very impressed with the T@b quality (well I have yet to see one "in the flesh") and I was so excited to find this forum and through it the Facebook pages for T@b owners/lurkers. I have learned so very much and it was very helpful in deciding which model and what options to order.

Thank you all so very much for your knowledgeable postings! I hope that I can contribute in a meaningful way as we roll merrily along this new adventure, and hope to meet some of you out there!

(Mouse-ke-t@b we are in Madison/Huntsville area :) and love Disney too!)

Future happy campers,
Pam (and the husband... + 2 golden retrievers)

    People have accused me of both my Jeep and the T@b bring my mid-life crisis. I must have missed te crisis, lol.

    We're waiting (and waiting, and waiting!) on our Sofitel too, Vagabonds. In the meantime, this forum has taught us so much and made us more confident in our decision. We had to travel to another state for a dealer and we saw a few T@Bs that day--and have come across two since. Every time we've been a little surprised at just how tiny they are. But that's one of the things that attracted us to them. Like you, we don't want a giant TV.
    Have fun!

    Welcome Vagabonds!! If you want to see a T@B in the flesh, I'd be happy to show you mine!! Although it is an older Dutchmen.

    Just send me a private message, and we'll set up a time.
