Strangely quiet in T@B 400 Land

Since we are in Sugarcreek already for üCamp17, the two of us had the opportunity today to speak with a nüCamp representative and sought answers to some of the concerns and questions posed in this thread.

Since your leakage around the light was a problem experienced in only one unit, he was able to tell us that your replacement unit is off the manufacturing line and awaiting transport but was unable to tell us the anticipated delivery date. You might check with your dealer to seen when he expects delivery. But it looks like you will be traveling in your warranty replacement 2018 T@B-400 soon!

In general production of the T@B-400s started the first week of January 2017. Initially they were building one at a time. Slowly they built up their assembly line and began ramping up production. The 2018 Model Year began on April 1st for all the nüCamp trailers (but not the Cirrus truck camper which will be later this year). Thus all units manufactured in January through March are designated as 2017s. Production has been continuous since January. There has been no halt in production. There are no features that were introduced specifically for the 2018 model year. The NüCamp/Pleasant Valley organization has always followed a plan of continuous improvement. As soon as they identify an improvement they immediately implement it. Thus the April 1st units are no different from the March 31st units other than model year designation but the May or June units have improvements over the units built in January or February.

We have know many of the people in this organization for nearly as long as the company has been around. We are continually impressed with their dedication to quality and to customer service. Yes, mistakes happen. Yes, they sometimes get third party components that are faulty. But this company stands behind their product in a big way. 

We have a 2017 Tab 400 and just finished traveling 7,000 miles for 3 1/2 wks.  We stopped by the factory on our trip and were impressed with how careful an employee was being a "craftsman" and checking his work!  This was our "tent" upgrade and love the space and the quality.  We looked at a lot of campers and narrowed it down to the Bambi 16ft Airstream, Tab Max, and decided on the 400.  Our Buick Enclave tows 4,500.  It felt more spacious than the Bambi and was 10k less.  We are happy we went ahead and purchased the 2017 and do not have anything major on our punch list.
I had an overhead cabinet open overhead while in transit.  We are still learning how much we can use the solar when drycamping.  Most of that trip was drycamping.  We now have a voltmeter to read exactly what the charge is and will try it soon.  We ended up with a bad cell in the battery which we needed to replace in North Dakota and NuCamp was prompt in reimbursing us.  Interstate Battery carried a comprable one and we are confident NuCamp will fix the holding brackets for us.  (little larger than factory one). We did have a wet corner upon delivery, dealer had washed it, and perhaps this was the same trouble spot.  Dealer fixed it and we have not noticed a leak there since and we have been in rain.
With all of the people stopping us to ask about the camper and tour it and loving it; I won't be suprised if they go up in price.  A camper from California asked us if we wanted to sell it!  We were expecting our 2 grand kids (3 and 2 yrs) to stay with us a week, so we told him no.
