This is from a 2005 brochure found under the Category - TaB Manuals, then Dutchman resources. “The latest technology, AluFiber®, combines aluminum with fiberglass to create a hi-gloss, impact-resistant finish. Alufiber® is laminated over block foam insulation and aluminum wall framing. Available with Jolt Grey, Orange…
@Rokko16v, novel idea. A simple call to tech support at nüCamp will answer the question if it is feasible or not. Also, Dutchman t@bs are known to have water infiltration through the front curved surfaces and trim. Removal of the trim and recaulking of those particular areas may be very beneficial. Also, the more advanced…
With much thanks to instructions written by Richard Lewis, which should be attached to this post, I recently replaces my original tail lights on the T@Bpole with LED tail lights. Richards instructions are for a Dutchman T@B, and while they are very similar to the Little Guy T@B's, there are some differences. It is not a…
I’d say maybe. It’s probably worth about $2-3k now if he could find a buyer, $5-8k when fixed Depending on condition of the rest . The Odyssey can tow 3500 pounds, so that’s not an issue in going newer. The real issue to me is the availability of Dutchman era parts, and yes, that’s going down. Already, replacing windows…
Hello, fellow T@Bbers. We've had our 2007 T@B since 2007, and have enjoyed many years of camping. On our last trip, here in Vermont, the non-entry side window was opened too far and slipped off its hinge, fell to the ground and a few pieces broke off. We contacted the nearest T@B dealer, and he ordered a replacement window…
We’ve been traditional tenters all of our life (50+ years) but with age comes wisdom and we decided there must be away to get away from sleeping on bumpy ground and getting rained out by Mother Nature. Moving up to a small trailer seemed to be the answer though we feared that a tent trailer won’t be the answer as the…
I know tabasco is now 10 years old and some things shake loose over time, but it never ceases to amaze me. In a lot of cases the various screws and fasteners were missing or loose and in some places had never ever been fitted! I have said many times to people admiring tabasco that Dutchman took a variety of good quality…
@Geo, On the 2004 TAB I am considering, the only water damage appears to be in the area of the Cool Cat on left side and door bottom on the right side. Everywhere else the underneath waterproofing mesh looks fine and is tightly adhered to the bottom plywood. Looking inside the rear bottom cabinets and under the front…
Now that people have identified areas that were previously issues of concern it's important to also focus on the positives of these trailers as well. The early Dutchman era trailers are still out there and still in use. And inasmuch as some issues followed the T@B's after the Amish acquired patent rights to the trailer,…
@Mellow_Yellow, between the Dutchman and nuCamp eras, T@Bs were built by a symbiosis between Pleasant Valley Trailers (who built the actual camper) and Little Guy (who marketed the camper under their own brand). There was only one size T@B at the time, so the 320 designation was irrelevant. As Sharon noted, "Maxx" was the…
