Have no need for the self-contained, TV, and that stuff included in later models but if the price is right that works too. Please respond to this site and I will get back to you. Thanks. |
| George M Sutton | During the course of Tab's production, my dealership was the largest and most successful dealership selling Tabs and Tada's in the nation. When we heard they were going out of production, we purchased every unit they had left on the production line. Although we have sold most of them, we do have them available at significant savings...which is why they have sold so quickly. Check out suttonrv.com and look up the Tab inventory. You can buy a new one for the price of used...and you get the warranty, too. |

| one eye | I am looking for used Egg'or the like, must be in good condition, fairly new. Where can I see these around Portland Oregon? will travel if properly motivated |
| CableGuy | Opinions on the cover for winter are mixed. Some say it's good; others say it can trap moisture and do more harm than good. Other things to do to winterize: Remove the battery, empty water from the holding container and put in some RV antifreeze, re-install tank and run water until you get antifreeze out of the sink. Remove anything left in fridge and any personal items that may be damaged or cause damage from freezing/thawing (liquids, etc.). I also like to use the jacks to take the weight off the axle/suspension and tires. |
| Sally | We have a brand new T@B and want to get it ready for winter storage. We live in northern NH and it gets really cold. We have it in a cover-it to protect it from the snow. What else do we need to do to winterize it? |
| Patricia | silver/gray/red/white T@B wanted in western USA. arabesq125@yahoo.com |
| John West | I like the Eggcamper and need more information on it--Is there a Dealer in Virginia// If not, where is the nearest one to Zip 23692. I'd like the information ASAP-It looks like a new 'twist' on camping for my wife and I. Jack |
| Rob | Sorry Tom, I should have read the comments before asking for what you already posted. |
| Rob | Tom what style, color, details about your T@b? |
| KEN LONGTIN | TAB TRAILERS ARE STILL BEING BUILT BUT NOT BY THOR. NOW ITS DUTCHMAN. ALL ARE UNDER THE SAME MANUFACTURING UMBRELLA |
| Tom | I have a Tab for sale, bought just 5 months ago new. Lived in it while working in Wyoming. Its red and has a bathroom,heatpump/airconditioner,propane furnace,refrigerator,two burner stove,desk/table,twin bed. Have pictures I can e-mail. tktravis6@yahoo.com. I am located now in Topeka, KS. |
| Shelley | Just looked at a T@B TS 2010 (the one with the bathroom) and the dealer made no mention of Thor not manufacturing the product any more. Does anyone know if they are not producing them any more and why? And if they aren't producing them, why would they come out with the new TS for 2010? |

| CableGuy | On the issue of the R-Pod -- it's a good unit with its own advantages and disadvantages -- but it's not "much nicer" than the T@B. I looked at both and bought the T@B. But I agree that the R-Pod is a good place to start looking now that the T@B is apparently history.
The headroom in the T@B is an issue that will affect everyone differently. It all depends on how you are going to use the trailer, and your own expectations for how you want to live on the road. I am 6'2", so I can't stand up in my T@B, but it's really no issue to me at all. In a trailer of this size, how much time do you spend walking around? You don't. When making food on the stovetop, I sit on the nearby seat. It's just not an issue for me. |
| Billy Bob | If you can no longer get the T@B, look at the R-POD made by Forest River. Much nicer than the T@B and fully self contained, all for less money. There is also a R-POD Forum with a lot of good info. |
| Bill Robison | We bought our EggCamper a few weeks ago. Boy is it roomy! I'm a big guy at 6'3" and about 260# - it seems just right for me - lots of headroom both standing or lying in bed! I have created some mods to put on a bath door, rear storage and make the second bed wide enough for both granddaughters to sleep comfy. I've taken all the wood doors down so I can paint them a soft color my wife picked out to coordinate with our cushions, etc. Have some ideas for solar charge unit - but for now will use Honda EU2000i genset for remote camping.
If anyone would like to see one in real life we are near Lansing, Michigan. Send us a note deepthinkers(at)gmail.com
