My wife and I have gone from tent camping to a 23’ hybrid trailer to a truck camper to a 30’ fifth wheel. We love the fifth wheel, but we found we missed the “camping” experience; getting into the back country and being away from it all. So, we kept our fifth wheel for our “glamping” trips, but bought a Jeep and a T@B teardrop for our “camping” trips. If you are looking for a somewhat minimalist camping experience, a T@B 320 may work out well for you. As others have mentioned, it’s not an RV you are going to spend a lot of time in, as it is small (and, therefore, easy to get into tight spots)! But we have watched a movie inside while waiting out a passing rain storm. Ours is equipped with a 71” X 71” bed (which can be converted to a dinette if you wish - we just leave ours made up as a bed), toilet, shower, kitchen sink, stove, refrigerator, air conditioner, ALDE (which provides quiet heat and hot water), 12 volt television and stereo. It has fresh, gray and black water tanks, and, although they are rather small, we have yet to have a problem with capacity. But, again, we are “camping.” If we have hookups (which is rare), we have A/C. But most of the time, we are “off-grid,” so we have two six volt batteries and a 120 watt portable solar panel that keeps the batteries charged and runs everything else. To give us a bit more room, we have a “visor,” which is a small awning to keep us out of the sun and rain and a larger awning/room, which is used if we need to spread out a bit more. For the two of us, it works really well, but, admitedly, it is a bit minimalist. But coming from a tent, it will feel like a huge upgrade! I will also say, T@Bs are not cheap. But they are built exceptionally well. We have had ours for two years and have not had one problem with it and don’t expect to anytime soon. T@Bs are made by NuCamp.
