    I am glad I found this forum! I just bought a 2023 used UT Woody yesterday and have been down the rabbit hole researching this unicorn.  I fell in love with this camper and feel it's a great choice as a first time  camper owner.   I have a few questions (so far) if anyone would be kind to respond..
    * how durable is the wrap on these?  Any particular maintenance needed?  Need to keep covered while storing?  I'm in Florida.
    * I am towing with a 2024 4Runner...what brake controller would you recommend?
    *Any mods you have done so far?
    *Alternative table top for the Lagun table that is waterproof?  Would like to use it mostly outside.

    We have an '19 CSS and use our Lagun Table outside. When not in use with threatening weather and at night we cover the table with a trash bag. If it's windy we close the trash bag with a twist tie.

    We've had ours since July 2023. Have not had any issues with the wrap. WE only cover when in storage over the summer months when it's too hot for camping (we live in TX). We'leave our table outside when camping and rain has never been an issue for it. I purchased a Tekonsha 902502 Prodigy RF brake controller and it has worked great. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Wooohooo!  Such an awesome trailer!  We love ours!  I too use the tekonsha Prodigy and it works great!  Wrap is holding up well but we do cover it when not in use.  Wow does it turn heads (and makes friends).  I have added teak floor boards in bathroom.  Set up espresso machine in back.  Other than that pretty stock.  Added an apple TV running off of small sine wave inverter for TV. Also added tubes to store grey water hose.

    We also added a 2" memory foam topper to the bed and leave it made up.  We use the table exclusively outside

    Love this!  Do you have to be on shore power for the espresso machine?  My first trip will be in a week ..can't wait!  What do you use the "cooler cabinet " for...cooler?

    Thank you Brian56.  I ended up with a Redarc brake controller...so far so good.  Installation was easy and it looks OEM.

    Thank you Slackers.  This is a great idea.  I live in Florida so humidity and rain is always an issue.

    Bayougirl, yes, shore power is needed to provide 110v to the outlet in back.  I have a plug strip velcro'd down so I can plug in both the espresso machine and grinder!  I have made so many 'friends' dishing out espresso and latte's in the morning!!  The only way to travel!  PS, I also have a cordless Outin espresso maker (single shot) if I am boon docking. I always use the Yeti (removed in the photo) and keep that full of ice for cocktails.  The 20lbs of ice in back also takes away from the tongue weight.  Hope your first trip was awesome!!!  Jordan

    why 'rough it?'

    I have a strip pulg by the inside sink, but not out in the clamshell. The side one makes the location of the outlet under the counter "usaeable". We use it mostly for device charging on on occasion when we need to bring the coffee maker or air fryer inside.

    jbajor....such a cool "beverage bar"...espresso AND cocktails!  My trip went great.  The AC blew so cold (FL) we were under blankets when it was 90 degrees outside at night.  We ended up making coffee with a Stanley press which was very good but I miss my espresso.  Next trip it will be coming with me!

    Brian66..thanks for replying.  .I too have a power strip inside near the sink.  There was a hook the previous owner placed on the wall next to the sink that allows the strip to be hanging above....I was a little nervous having a power strip laying next to the sink.

    Have any UT owners found an awning and/or tent that is a good fit to connect to our camper?   The awning price at  PahaQue Wilderness is not in my budget now and they did not have any tents.

    Awnings designed for T@B 320s will fit the UT.  Tents need to be for non-boondock 320 CS.  Lot of choices and suggestions on this forum.  We're still using the Isabella Canopy from our 2009 CS on our UT.
