New here, considering a 2022 T@B 320 CS-S BD

in Looking to purchase a trailer?
My husband (6'1") actually loved it-which surprised me-but he liked how small it was. I am concerned that he will get sick of crouching his head down? We both LOVE the outdoor kitchen though. We have camped for years in a pop up and never used the indoor kitchen (it wasn't great in the pop up anyway) but really like cooking outside. Any advice or recommendations?

    The lack of headroom was a non-starter for us (I'm 6'-1" also) when we looked at a 320 last year, and headroom in the bathroom was even less. I, too, liked how small it was but with a 45 pound dog aboard it was obvious it would be cramped. We do our outdoor cooking with a propane grille fired from the T@B's exterior gas connection on our 400.

    Okay, see that’s what I am thinking he will feel too. We don’t have a dog ( yet) but probably my will again when my husband is ready. You guys have the 400 and like it?

    At 6.1 he will be cramped, standing or sleeping. Consider 360

    Love the 360, except we want to sleep together not in the single bed set up-is there a mod to make it a queen?

    webers3 Yes, he said it will be fine, but he can't do anything in the bathroom and I worry about him smacking his head (and then I will never hear the end of it lmao)

    Hi Andrea, small world! Since you are so close, would it be helpful if you were to take a look at our 400? You didn't mention what your tow vehicle is or will be. The 400 is considerably heavier than the 320 options.

    There is no need to constantly "stoop".  I have a small expandable stool that can be moved around the "aisle" in the trailer.  There are things I need to be standing up for, but if I'm working on something inside the trailer the stool is right there.  There are many little strategies like this that can make the trailer more comfortable than it looks on first walking in.

    we have been happy with our 2019 320 since we bought it new. However, I,m 5'-8" and my wife is 5'-3" and we spent years in a tiny back packing tent, so the trailer seems larger to us. You might want to look at MBC's XT12HR while you shopping

    Bill&Suze  That's very kind of you to offer! We just bought a Toyota Tacoma 2022 and the T@b 400 is beautiful, but yes, heavier than we would prefer. Was considering a 360 and trying a mod for the twin beds to make Into one big bed

    Into our fifth season with a 2020 320S. I’m six foot tall and have no plans to upsize to a bigger trailer. Perfectly happy with what we have.

    We had a ‘21 Tab 320. It was a great trailer and we loved so much about it.

    However, I am 6’ tall and didn’t fit well in the shower and we slept wheel to wheel and had to sleep at a slight angle. We couldn’t be happier with our ‘23 Tab 400. I don’t have to crouch, the bed is comfortable and always made up. It’s our wonderful home away from home.

    I do most of the cooking outside, but I love the kitchen area in the 400.
