Thought I would post some pics of our new living room.  So far we really like the tent a lot.

    Nice!  Curiously, does the tent fit snug up against the trailer?

    Yes it does.  There is an apron that feeds into the lower keedar rails that then velcros to the bottom of the tent.  It keeps the bugs out nicely...but, you can't use the pull out step and need a small foot stool to make entry/exit easier.  It was quite easy to set up and take down too.  Best part of all was the ability to get dressed in the morning without having to have my head cocked over to one side!  We set up two chairs and a table and were able to take our meals bug free too.  We talked about it being easier if we also got the XL visor but after using as a dressing room, I have nixed that idea.  We did not have any moisture this weekend so not too sure about it's overall ability to stay dry in the rain...but my guess is there would be the potential for some water to get in.  We also purchased the rug that shows constantly being sold out on the T@B store and it was fantastic.  It feels like a throw blanket (you know the kind that are a dime a dozen) on one side and has a more neoprene surface on the bottom.  It's a little big for the tent...but was easy fold under the extra.  I highly recommend it.

    I have the tent also and agree with dmassey321 that it's setup was easy. I did have to close up the side windows during some light rain due to the slight slope of the sides and it did get a little muggy but the showers were quick. Here are some pics of my unit

    Hit the wrong button. We used an old quilt for a rug. Had a Coleman cot, 2 chairs and table inside. Worked very well.

    Although we use our large visor about half the time now, we really appreciate the luxury of our tent like yours (and the same table)!

    I know this is an old post, but this set-up looks exactly like what I'm hoping to do, except I'd probably need a heater. Anybody know if there is a small heater that would be save inside the side tent? I've seen a few heaters specifically for tents, but they seem a bit too NASA for me. I just want a quiet, warm, early morning cup of coffee while the rest of the household sleeps.

    I just bought the tent. What is the best footprint to use?

    I use a small inexpensive ceramic heater with a built in fan and a tilt safety switch for morning or evening cold spells. We got caught up in some 40 degree mornings a couple of weeks ago and it worked great. I would never leave it unattended, but the housing stays cool and I leave a corner of the window flap open.

    We are going to tow with a minivan- lots of room for stuff, but you can stash a lot inside the Tab, too.

    Less is more!!!  We are travelers that have used campgrounds for accommodations for many, many years.  The less time spent setting up and packing is more time at our destination.  We chose our CS because it has nearly every thing we need built in.  The built in storage has more than enough room for all our stuff without leaving anything in the living space.  A couple of plastic totes and duffle bags in the back of our SUV carry extra food and clothes.  Other than hooking up water and electric when available we will put up an awning or visor and a 6x9 patio mat if we are staying a few days.  Being ready to use as soon as we are parked is an important "feature" to our style of travel.

    @SnapDog, electric or propane? For propane, we use a Mr. Heater Little Buddy that uses 1lb propane canisters.

    @Mr_Mrs_Gnome, I was originally thinking propane and Little Buddy looks perfect! Thanks for the suggestion. And it's available at Amazon CA. My concern would be gas in a small space but it says it is indoor safe. A ceramic heater as suggested would work if we have electric but I don't now how often that will happen. We're used to camping in the bush with no services but we've never camped with a railer before so I have no idea if we'll be able to do that much any more.

    We have a propane catalytic heater for emergency heat and tried it in our T@B awning last trip. It generates quite a bit of heat and would have worked fine if we had had the front wall. It does go thru propane quickly - a one pound tank in 4-5 hours on the high setting.

    Photomom - When using my grill to bake, I find the canisters last about that long (4hrs)
