Why did you get a T@B?

Don't worry ScottG, you're not alone :-)
Oh look, there's one in the mirror - Ooops -
We bought ours because my wife was tired of tent camping and wanted an indoor bathroom. I wanted something that my Subaru Outback could pull and small enough to get into all the small and back wood campgrounds that a climber, kayaker, and mountain biker likes to camp at. We looked at other RVs but the T@B was perfect for the two of us and our dog.2015 T@B M@X-S, 2017 Ford F150 2.7L V6 Turbo

marknjudy, True, true! Believe me, Verna would have edited that one. She has a magic wand, just ask her!
ScottG, I have a feeling I fall in to that list too!

That magic wand hurts like a nun's ruler when used on full power!

I will consider myself warned should I ever be tempted to say anything other that what is savory and good.

V, we really do appreciate your quick wand waving and keeping our bad brain cells in line (well, for those of us who have them!)

If she has the wand on stun, you woun't be able to complain cuz you won't be on the forum anymore :-)

Like many others, our family were tent campers for decades. Finally, I am getting "mature" enough that I prefer not crawling around on the ground. For years I was tempted by tent trailers, but got the T@B instead. We definitely enjoy the camper, but are weary of having to constantly make the change from table to bed and back. Often of late I wish I had saved more and got the 16' airstream.Stancil Campbell

A few reasons lie behind our Tab purchase:
- rained out from a tenting holiday last year, led us to contemplate a trailer (I don't get much time in summer, given my work, so we need to make that one week count!)
- we wanted small, and preferably different from run of the mill stuff on the market
- considered an old Boler, but did not relish finding hidden problems and repairs down the road, which led to new
- read some reviews on T@b, liked what I saw: small, light, and well-made
- ordered sight unseen and had it shipped to Newfoundland from Montreal: happy from day 1
- like Estancio, a little more room or permanent bed would be nice, but for the amount of use, a T@b should be fine: I'm a fan of tiny houses too...
- one year in, 21 nights (last fall and this summer so far), no regrets!
- light weight, small, easy to move around, and good looking! (ditto for the owner?!)

Part of it is I don't like exposed fiberglass interior - not warm/friendly at all to me. Didn't like the window treatments, etc and just didn't like the construction quality. And the ones I see in campgrounds just haven't worn well. Have never seen a shaby T@B but see plenty of shabby Scamps.

We bought a T@B because we wanted to be one of the cool kids :-) I originally wanted an Aframe but hubs wanted T@B so that's what we got and I have no regrets. We like the tab because we are "minimalists" and I didn't want a house on wheels. We like nature and we actually enjoy camping... but we're getting older and a/c, toilet, full kitchen are so nice. T@B is just the best of both worlds.

Wanted small that I could handle. Love the mountains and now wouldn't mind a slightly bigger bathroom.Ramblin' scramblein' Tumb@lweed Gray/Red 2016 Max S, Wichita Falls Texas

I am enjoying reading through some of these older posts. My top 3 favourite reasons people bought T@bs:
@PXLated "Have never seen a shaby T@B" -- based on the resale value of every single used Tab I've looked at, they are quality products that will last a lifetime. Old ones and new ones all look good.
@kmb"...wanted to be one of the cool kids" -- yep, awesome cool factor.
And lots of folks mentioned towability (is that a word?) - I sure hope this one is true!Sn@pDog, 2017 Outback, Silver w/black trim -
We bought ours because it has almost everything our 38' Winnabago had and it fits in our garage at home. No more storage fees.
