Just saw this video announcement:

"TAB 360 is set to revolutionize our teardrop travel trailer lineup. We blended the best features of our beloved TAB 320 and the spacious TAB 400. This seamless mix of innovation and luxury offers more living space but makes it easy to handle. Here's a sneak peek of our latest model. Stay tuned for additional photos and video or sign up for updates at nucamprv.com/tab-360."

The 360 looks like a great set up! Our initial thoughts were that the fridge could be smaller, especially if it makes the counter longer and the stove/sink separate.

Definitely looks like it is well thought out.

I’m actually impressed with the layout. My only gripe is the fridge and the limited prep space but you have the table right behind to your right that could be used as well. It’ll be interesting to see reviews on it. The wide angle lens makes it look huge.

bergger · May 29

I have to admit it looks real nice! Just a bit too small for the two of us. If I was rolling solo I'd probably get one.

I really like the new design, especially the twin beds / solo camper set up. Would love to see a CS version!! And one with a proper toilet and black tank (but I know that horse has left the barn).

jebjam · May 29

Looks lovely, but disappointed it's not a Clam. Hopefully that's something they'll consider adding though there might not be the space with the north/south beds. The clam is the reason we bought the 320 over the 400, no reason for us to upgrade to this with the kitchen inside, it's our favorite feature. I know we're the minority, but clam owners are passionate about their outside living!

SubaruLou · May 29

The goldilocks of T@Bs! The kitchen area does seem small, but the tradeoff with the larger fridge with freezer I think would be worth it. For shorter trips or camping by myself, I pre-prep most of my meals so I can relax at site. Longer trips, I usually bring an outdoor camp stove/griddle set up. Love the twin set up with more leg room back to front. Big question, can it fit under a 9' garage door?

Regrettably most likely why I won't purchase another nüCamp

Muttonchops I am with you! As I advance in age lifting a heavy sloshing container around instead of hooking up a 1 inch hose (yes I use the SEWER SOLUTION) which uses a 1 inch hose to the sewage drain and never had a problem! Art

bergger · May 29

While I think it's a really cool trailer they are marketing it to people who have a tow vehicle that can't handle a 400. Well I'm pretty sure they won't be able to handle this either. It's only 311 lbs lighter which is pretty insignificant in a towing scenario. And with the kitchen and bathroom upfront combined with that really large tongue box, which people will fill up, I bet the tongue weight will be too much for smaller vehicles. I'm curious to see what the actual tongue weight is. Maybe they have great balancing and the it won't be too high.

Buy a 400. It has a black tank.

Flybone89 · May 30

This is for sure a Goldilocks trailer for our needs - we love our 320 but since I am 6'2" it has always been a head scratcher for me :-). We converted our 320 bed to a twin to make it easier for both of us to get out so there was no way the wedge bed in the 400 was going to work for us. And we love the "lounge" area we have in the 320. So as much as we hated it we started to "peek" outside the nuCamp family for what could be our next trailer but we could not find the same quality and community.

So this is perfect for us! Cassette toilet, towing specs, fridge size, floorpan - all work perfectly fine for us. I actually took a chance and put a deposit down with our dealer several weeks ago when I first heard about this model, and the more I learn, the more I am glad I did. Hopefully I will have first hand details to share!

Surprised and impressed
Can’t wait to see one in person

Here is another one that dropped today. It's good to hear they dumped the Air8 AC and are trying the Truma Saphir AC/heat pump.

Life if full of trade offs, solo, 2 person, utility sites, dry camping, smaller tow vehicle, tall or short people. When marketing lists the uses to hit they go for the biggest bang for the buck. I want to see and drool over some of the new features but we're over in the short, dry camp end so the 320 works best for us. I agree with other posters that the 400 seems a better deal for the other end (tall, utility, 2 person) except for the improvement NOT to crawl over the other person we don't see a need for this.

Our misses are the loss of kitchen prep space as we have minimal need for refrig usage on our trips; to do quick bed prep we have sleeping bags and there is no space for them now. I also like the flexibility of the front current shelf / box options, an option for this giant one would be nice.

We like the lack of head banging storage! The multiple storage cubbies and FINALLY a place to shove shoes. A better door lock. Changing to the bigger Alde is a good opportunity to anodize and correct clamping of the convectors - don't know if this has been done yet. I'm betting just having a larger floor space makes this a lot easier to get around but we aren't sure giving up site maneuverability is worth it. There have been significant situations where we had firm / level ground that we've simply hand turned the trailer to get that awesome view. Taller is probably something that the 320 should do as it fits in only a few standard garages now.

xdr · June 13

We have the small fridge in our ‘21 400 and we love it. I wish it remained an option in the newer 400’s. Giving up our huge closet for a huge fridge we don’t use is a poor trade off. (I guess the socks will go on the bottom shelf of the big fridge?😉)

Just curious- is the tall fridge in the 360 a plus or minus for most people?

m.r.

bergger · June 14

For me it would be a minus since it takes away all the counter space if cooking or using the sink. The large fridge along with the combo sink/stove are the only things I do not like. Otherwise I love the trailer. Even the usable counter space behind the combo sink/stove which the video says is a place to put things is unusable with the stove lid up. I think the front kitchen area needs to be redesigned.

PJ at Princess Craft RV has a 36-min TAB 360 Tour Video out now.
More complete then any of the others released so far.

Princess Craft RV TAB 360 Tour

I found three aspects of the Tour interesting. Interesting for how some features were described not for the feature itself. Those three; kitchen counter, cassette toilet, storage.

In all three the Marketing Folks (Princess Craft or nüCamp) are really pushing against the frequent negative or 'personal like/dislike' remarks on forums, Facebook, youTube.

Kitchen counter: Focus on how easy to open/close the single sink cooktop lid.
                           And there is a 5-inch counter at the back.

Cassette toilet:   So easy to move (when empty) and dump any where even in public restrooms (bad
                          form imho). And no dump station stop! While quickly glossing over the fact a
                          dump station must be visited to empty the gray water tank.

Storage:   A major discussion point has been the lack of storage in for example the current/recent
               model year 320S due to under bench Alde + Air8 + Li-Ion Battery. So the video has lots
               of comments on the overhead storage.

It feels like instead of providing buyers options; cassette or black tank, big Fridge no counter or small Fridge with more counter space. The Marketing Folks are just working/hoping to force acceptance of the no-choice single option product.

Perhaps I could live with a ducted under bench air conditioner, might even learn to live with the non-kitchen kitchen (I cook mainly in my 320S not outside). But as I advance in the 70+ crowd both my interest and before long ability to man-handle a 50"ish pound full cassette every few days is shifting from 'could make it work' to no way - - - I'll have to shop a different RV brand.

bergger · June 14

Yeah I'm not so sure about the cassette toilet anymore. I used to think I really wanted one but now know I absolutely do not want one. @MuttonChops you are correct in that you still need to find a proper place to dump it. And it requires dumping much more frequently. After our last trip where we had full hookups for a week I would hate to have to pull out that cassette and dump it so often. When we boondock we use the vault toilet, if there is one, or if not we can use WAG bags in our toilet and not use the black tank at all. I guess I like the option of a higher capacity, easier to use imho, black tank that you can use WAG bags in as well.

I do understand, though maybe don't like, that NuCamp is trying to design a trailer to the masses and get away from customization. However I do think they completely missed the mark on the kitchen design of the 360. Cooking and washing dishes in it would be difficult and not very enjoyable. Have at least some counter space.

Wish there was a Super Like or Super Agree button on you comments.

JD_Bean · July 2

I can live with the kitchen prep shrink for all the other pluses (and there are many!). I was ready to trade in the 400 for a 360. But I just don't understand the cassette toilet at all. After living with a black tank I cant imagine using a cassette. I could live with a smaller fresh and grey to gain a black water (prelim T@B 360 spec FW 18gal, GW 28gal, cassette 5 gal). Probably too late to make a running change, maybe next year?

K_C_915 · July 2

I agree with several of the commenters on not liking the kitchen set up at all. We have a cover on the sink we use in our 320, so there is room to put things next to the stove when cooking. I would much rather have a small counter there, than the huge fridge. We rarely fill our small one up now, even when gone for a week. I can see lots of frustration with the stove/sink combo.

I can understand people not liking the cassette toilet, but I have grown to like it, thanks to the Americanizer RV Sewer hose to cassette adapter. That adapter is a real game changer in dumping the cassette.

I can understand it being more profitable for NuCamp having a one size fits all interior. But the kitchen set up is a deal killer for me right now. I will hang on the 320 for now.

Yep, fully agree.

The 360 is Off my next-trailer list due to the cassette [however 'kitchen layout' is a downer]

I recently ended a two+ day boating trip. The boat has 2.5 gallon 'holding tank' two-part porta-potty that was only half full . . . . yet, it was by far more disgusting to dump then using a real black tank and dump station.

It was heavy {a quartoer of a full cassette}, it was smelly, it splashed the bathroom . . . . I wont accept that in a travel trailer.

gulfarea · July 3

I have had 2 T@B 320IES. Yes handeling a cassette full of sloshing liquid is not for me at my advanced age! I use the sewer solution set up with its 1 inch hose to drain the black tank on my 2019 320 and have beeb VERY happy with it. Art

Jebber · September 12

When you're ready to capture footage, I'd suggest focusing on both the interior details and the handling experience on the road. A mix of lifestyle shots, close-ups of the features, and some driving scenes would make for a compelling YouTube video. You might want to set up multiple cameras, or even use a drone for aerial shots to show how the trailer moves and its overall design.

If you're planning to edit and clip together those videos on your PC, the process can be quite simple. There are tools like Movavi that make it easy to clip and edit videos quickly. According to this guide on how to record clips on a PC, you can trim unnecessary parts of your footage, merge clips, and even add some cool transitions. This will help you create a smooth and professional-looking video to showcase the TAB 360. Check out here https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/how-to-clip-on-pc.html

Howdy, Stranger!
