  The 360s are becoming very popular!

  I’m 5’8.5 inches tall. My 320 is perfect when I slip off my flip flops. It’s not a tall trailer. But it works well. The bed is fine, I can usually make a single bed left right or across the back. When my wife agrees to come along. I can make the queen bed with no extra effort.

  If you are an outdoorsman as your handle implies, you might be better suited for a clamshell version whether 320 or 360.  We have the 320 cs s and enjoy cooking outside which is why we camp. Just my two cents.

  I fully agree that cooking outside can be such an important part of camping.

  For the past five summers, I’ve roamed Canada’s northlands in my 2020 T@B 400 Boondock.  I’ll cook outside over a campfire when conditions are favourable.  Otherwise, I’m grateful to have an indoor kitchen for these reasons:  Insects, large predators, wind, rain, cold and privacy.

  On travel days, I can stop roadside and make a meal without road dust in my food, or becoming an attraction to other travellers.  After dark, I can cook inside in full light without wondering if a Grizzly is approaching from the shadows.  Many insects are drawn to light during nighttime; cooking outside under electric lights can become annoying.

  I can wake early on a cold morning and make my coffee without pulling on two pairs of thick wool socks to venture outside.

  Before my T@B 400, I camped for decades with a tent.  Extremely good years, but I’m not going back.

  We have a 400 Boondock and it’s just right for my wife and me. Our non-negotiables in a trailer were an inside toilet (I’m 60, so do I really need to explain?) and a bed that was separate from the dinette.  I’m more of a night owl and my wife is more of an early riser. I do a little work on the road, so having separate spaces is really good.  
  
  We find the bed in the 400 to be VERY comfortable. We have the standard mattress on top of a Froli system of “springs;” it’s better than our bed at home!
  
  Before joining the T@B revolution, I didn’t realize how popular outdoor cooking was. It’s interesting to hear different takes on that. While we do cook outside some (mostly me grilling things), I like that the kitchen in the 400 is actually usable. There’s enough counter space to do some real prep and have room to place platters, etc. I call it my Gourmet Kitchen. 
  
  Hope you join the fold!

  We have a '320 CS. We covered the outside lights with red turn signal repair tape. No more bugs....
