Little Guy T@b trailer questions

Being a fan of small trailers (I don't see the point of the big ones) I did look at the Tab when they came out. IMO the downfall was that the bed and table were one and the same and had to be converted every day. I have a small trailer, with the good old layout of a full size bed in the rear and dinette in the front. It's always ready without any hassle. Otherwise, they serve the purpose.

Even the weight police would not say that a T@b needs a Massive Truck. ;)

I wouldn't bet on that.:)

The other big advantage of a T@b is that you can tow it with almost anything. Most other trailers, even small ones, require a big SUV or a small truck. So if you simply can't replace your tow vehicle, a very small trailer may be your best option.

I agree. We looked at RPods, initially, and though fairly inexpensive, they didn't have the "feel" of a T@B.

I hadn't really thought of it before, but when I was sitting in a T@B I did get the feeling of "quality".

They also have a larger model - T@B XL.

Well they are up off the ground and out of the mud if it rains. They have a indoor heater, a water heater, a shower , toilet , AC, indoor stove and frig. They can be pulled by anything that can tow 1800 lbs. require no sway control and no weight distribution. At 15 ft they can get into any camping spot. They do appear expensive but quality comes at a price. These are the points that I am considering now.

yep, sort of obvious improvement over tent/etc. heat/AC makes life worth living. ;) and a wet bath, cooking facilities inside finish the deal.

First, there is already a lot of misinformation in this thread, so allow me to fill in some gaps.

First, I would suggest going to the T@B forum if you are interested in a T@B:

That said, I will start out by saying that I own an Arctic Fox 27-5L fifth wheel that I really love. AND I own a T@B Max S that I also dearly love, because it is my fifth wheel crunched down to a very small size. It has a dining area that turns into a very comfortable queen size bed, a stove, sink, refrigerator, toilet, shower, an exceptionally nice hot water system and heating system, air conditioning, amazing quality (built by the Amish), a wonderful company backing it up, a very nice room-sized, enclosed awning, and with my 200 watt solar panel and two six volt batteries, I can be off grid for a very long time. Which is why I bought it - to be a longer-term, offgrid RV that I could easily take where I could not take my fifth wheel. Yes, it is small. I'm 5'11", and I need to tilt my head a bit when I stand up in it. But it is a very, solid little rig that, if you can work with a smaller space, has it all. Coming from entirely too many years camping out of a tent (and less), I can credibly say, it is MUCH better than a tent!
