Absolutely BRILLIANT idea using a walking stick for a hand hold! I was dreading adding another boring plastic grip to the inside. Love to see how people “think INSIDE the box”!!
I live in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and there is a local guy who makes walking sticks. (Sorry Mandy!) We’re going to play around and find one that’s “just right”. I’m a little goofy when it comes to picking out pretty wood grains, lol. His are hefty enough to screw in a few small hooks to hang keys on also. Will most a pic once it’s done.
I did too. That was a really great idea. I am constantly grabbing the edge of the door when I go out. I happen to have a walking stick that will work. I just need to figure out how I'm going to mount it.
@@sandyw821 Make sure to use something strong, you don't want to get hurt walking down steps and having the stick come off the wall. I'm thinking bolts however, need to make sure the walls can handle them.
Hi guys, i find these videos really interesting and i get to see how ingenious campers can be. I think it's to do with living in a small place and maximising space. Some great ideas in this video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍
Lots of good ideas. Modifications by real long-stay users help show the rest of us where the small footprint pinches, as well as what can be done about it.
Thank you so much for doing this.. I wasn't able to make the even this year because of prior obligations.. was really hoping to see what folks had done with their T@Bs.. Thanks for this and all of your videos.
@@MandyLea I am going to order a TAB 400 Solo and your video has given me great ideas to personalize it…it’s going to be my full time home for as long as I can take living out of a trailer which we did for two years full timing but that was a big fifth wheel..I am looking forward to a simpler life. Again thank you for this video!
Love the Wings for the galley. Guess she's got a new customer. I did a bunch of mods to my T@G - external solar charging port with parallel/serial switch to the rooftop panel, LiFePO4 battery bank, Roku player tied into the TV mounted behind the panel with USB port for media sticks, battery monitor and the biggest mods are propex ducted gas furnace and I replaced the microwave (it's a XL model) with full extension drawers. Next is to replace the Dexter torsion axle with a off-road worthy suspension. It's the boondock edition but I'd rather have a real off-road suspension. I also switched the 2" hitch with a off-road hitch - of course that's a mod you only need when you intend to tow the thing to places other people don't or can't go.
I too, like others, here were impressed with the walking stick grab bar to exit the camper. We wonder how it was installed. I looked carefully at that section and it’s attached to the side of the wood shelf about the window to the right of the door and at the bottom to the side of the cupboard. BRILLIANT. Doing that today!!!!
you all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Andres Aries I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love those wind wings! I’ve seen them on other teardrops but so far have only seen DIY patterns for the T@B clamshells and they seem way too hard for me to sew myself. I’m definitely going to check those out! Thanks! XO
I'd like to find the link to the kit for the tongue for the sewer hose. I clicked on the link for the blog, but it says, 'Page not found'. Thanks! Lots of cool ideas!!
We are going to be, hopefully, buying a TAB (either a 320 or possibly a 400) in the not too distant future. Some of these mods are really great! Look forward to trying some of these when we eventually get our Tab
I've ordered a Meerkat trailer & I've seen several mod I'm anxious to use when I receive my tiny trailer next year. On the top of my list are the window dressings.
Mandy Lea Photo You are excellent at sharing other people’s ideas! In doing so, you create a broader sense of community while revealing your photographers instinct for unique perspective. The way you capture people and their great ideas makes each subject interesting and lovable. Thank you!
I respect a guy who still wears Jams World shirts after all these years😊 Not sure about the lady who gave away her hiding spot under the hanging picture though.
Well done as always Mandy! Some awesome ideas from some awesome folks! It’s no wonder my brother from another mother, Pat Wilson, looks so damn good all the time with that shirt hanger device he rigged up. Time for me to get with the program.
Love everyones ideas and helpful shares today. But what caught my eye in a big way was the natural wood table top swap out. Wondered where she got the swing about base. I've seen similar in other trailers over the years but haven't seen them for sale as individual use or just as a base alone so you can add a top of choice. I'm a huge fan of the natural edged wood slabs living in the heart of NW Rockies. Just fantastic shares however so stay safe everyone and happy camping.
Mandy, great video with lots of ideas! We are brand new Tab 400 owners- I noticed the curtains made to cover the big window in the dining area- could you please expand on how those are mounted and how you make them? Thanks so much!
Sorry for the slow response!! The curtains I made don't actually cover the window. They are more aesthetic and just go around the sides for looks (and it gives me a good place to hang my pins!). I just used a small curtain rod across the top and I sewed the curtains out of a shower curtain that I bought at walmart!
Great video and thanks for sharing. An odd ball question for y'all. For those of you that have been living the nomad life no matter what you're living in or out of, have you noticed a difference in your health, an improvement? I've noticed that in the past decade of my various forms of nomadic living that I very rarely ever get sick. Unlike being sick in a stick and brick dwelling where I got the flu annually. I've always been curious as to whether it was environmental, physical or a spiritual change. Anyways a whole lot less stress on this end. Safe travels to all and good night.
I still have plenty of stress because we are still working to make a living on the road - but it is balanced by a lot more happiness. And yes! We hardly ever get sick. We've each only had one cold in 3 years.
Thanks! Lots of good ideas. I’m down to 3 choices for my purchase and I’m leaning towards a T@b 320 S, Little Guy Mini Max or an RPod. Yours looks like a T@b 400. Anyway, thanks again for all the great ideas.
I just bought me a tag xl about a month ago. I am spending 2 weeks in it right now. I am looking forward to a Nucamp camp outing. Do you have any dates for it? I seen a couple of the mods that I could use in mine. Some of these ideas are great for my tag. I won’t be doing them this fall but will do a couple next spring and as time goes on. Thanks for all the ideas. Their great.
Congratulations! For sure, we are offering rallies all the time... check out all the dates on our website and subscribe to the email list at www.nucamprallies.com
Mandy, have you seen any mods for putting in bunk beds in the TAB 400? The only thing I have found so far is that some people managed to put www.discobed.com/cots/kid-o-bunk-teal-with-organizers/
Hi Mandy, I have been following your videos for a while now and I LOVE your photos! I find that they have an etheric type of quality to them. I would go to one of your classes, but I live in a different country. I was wondering, have you ever considered giving classes online?
Thank you so much for the kind words Nonie. I have considered it but haven't figured out a way that I'd like to do it yet - it's good to know there is interest though!
So are Little Guy T@Gs invited to these, or considered the "evil twin"? I still don't understand the association between these two companies. I was looking at perhaps buying a 2017 LG T@G Max XL. It looks like those two companies were joined in that timeframe, but split shortly thereafter. So is this thing essentially (or actually) identical to NuCamp stuff, or was there no NuCamp till after the split? What's the real story, since I'm new here?
Gotta laugh, This is great for hiding jewelry keys and such, well until you broadcast it on youtube. nice video and not a bunch of people with coffee bars, and store bought collapsible tables
Jerry Gundrum Don't be a dumb dumb. How would any know where this lady is camped at? Much less, know what the outside of her trailer looks like? Her trailer's tag number?
Just found this channel. I'm seriously looking at the T@B 400 as an alternative to a Casita. A lot of these mods were great. 😁 Am I the only one who finds the wink at the end of all these videos cringey? What does "love and like" mean? Isn't it supposed to be "like and subscribe"? Anyway, other than that totally stiff and unnatural wink at the end of the videos that creep me out, I'm really enjoying the channel. 😁
I've never been good at winking, but I'm not going to let my lack of talent stop me from trying. I'm stubborn. And, I say "love and light" - love to the world, and good light to the photographers out there. If it doesn't seem natural, thats just because I'm being authentic.
Absolutely BRILLIANT idea using a walking stick for a hand hold! I was dreading adding another boring plastic grip to the inside. Love to see how people “think INSIDE the box”!!
KampKarmaKollies, I saw where someone put in a elk antler or something similar that had the perfect curve.
I love the walking stick too!! I think we're gonna do it!

Hi! I'd like to know how the nice lady attached the walking stick handle. If there's a way to detach it to keep it as a walking stick.
Love seeing all the different and unique ways people modify their spaces!
Thanks for sharing,
Kari
Me too! It's so fun to see in person. Thanks for watching.
There were some really great modification ideas! I really liked the idea of using a solid walking stick as an indoor support rail next to the stairs.
Me too! I'm totally going to do it!
I did too. That was a really great idea. I am constantly grabbing the edge of the door when I go out. I happen to have a walking stick that will work. I just need to figure out how I'm going to mount it.

That scarp wood table is just stunning!
Yes it is!

very helpful video, for me since I am a father and am looking to build my own custom camper. thank you for the wonderful video

Thank you! Happy to have you!
Great modifications Mandy! Thank you for sharing!
