anyone live in t @ b 16ft w/bath??

Our first RV was a T@B. We had the L floorplan, which provided the most counter space. It was more than adequate when it was just myself, my wife, and our two dogs. The best part of it was the add-on tent room which doubled the living space. I would take it fishing with the guys, and the tent room would sleep three guys on cots. When our son came along, one side of the closet became his sleeping space. Once he outgrew that, we decided it was time for an upgrade. I miss our quirky little T@B but know it just wasn't practical for our future needs.

So, as far as full-timing in one, that is totally up to you and how much space you need. Our longest trip in the T@B was two weeks long. We had encountered frequent bad weather, so were tired of being cooped up in the small space.

That is the T@da picture, the T@b is a lot smaller

I too had to go searching for a T@B trailer to see what it was...

Google says it looks like this - nice trailer...

That's entirely up to you. How much of the stuff you have now do you need to keep with you?

What I am doing now with a RV I could do in a 16 foot Scamp or 16-17 foot Casita. Not so sure about a T@B, it is of less comfortable size and construction for me. But for longer term, like snowbirding, I would be more comfortable in the 30 foot C I now have. Been doing some 1-2 week experiments close to home, still running home home for what I didn't bring.

Full timing? That means getting rid of everything that doesn't fit in the RV. Thus a lot of people full time in a 40-45 foot RV weighing 30-40,000 pounds, and sometimes haul a car and or trailer. Right now, too close to the wife's death, all that stuff is still shared memories, full timing means whittling it down to two or three 40 foot containers. Maybe my heirs would want to go into those, maybe they would just want to dump them into a subduction trench, but for now I'm not ready.

it is up to you, how much you can whittle down your lifestyle. I know people who have gotten their stuff down to a motorcycle trailer, trunk of a car, shopping cart, even a backpack. Some people can get it down to a loincloth and a spear, and survive. A T@B can be enough living space for one human being, just a matter of how much stuff you need. to carry. If you can get what you need to keep down to a shopping cart, you could fit it into a T@B just fine.

Bothers me a bit that you say WE. Space that works for one person doesn't always work for two or more. Doubling the space is not always enough, you sometimes also need a good size "no man's zone." Part of why so many full timing couples settle at 40-45 foot, and they stop there because that's a legal limit.

I sold my T@B this spring. Found it small even for just myself! Replaced it with a 27ft Kodiak, this i feel is perfect for two people.

Here's a link to a blog of a female fulltimer in a 17' Escape.

I had a T@da with the bath/shower, perfect for 2 people, but no guests.

I can’t speak to the t @ b but I’ve used a 16’TT since 1989 and it’s been almost perfect for our style of camping. And most of the time we’ve traveled with two and or three kids. It wouldn’t be the best choice if we wanted to “live” in it and lounge around watching tv, but we don’t do that. We camp well off the pavement, usually in national forests, and spend most of our time outside.

We once thought of going to about an 18’, but between the full beds and lack of windows I felt like I was in a closet compared to mine. It has a small side bathroom and 8 windows and feels more open than the larger, newer units. If you want to get back in the most pristine spots the 16’ should work fine for you. If you want to spend a lot of time inside you may want to think somewhat bigger.

It would be big enough for the two of us but there are people who have to have two baths, a dishwasher and washer dryer. To each his own.
