Great shirt, TJ. Hoorah!

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

Great list. We would agree with your list of essentials. Never leave home without them.

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

So true.

[@lizchilders4154]

We have all of those for our 400. Additionally, we have a long arm ratchet wrench extension for the drill so we can reach those back stabilizers. Helps a lot!

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

That extension sounds good. We may need to get one of those.

[@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy]

Awesome list. When we started using the drill we wondered why we hadn’t started earlier 👍

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Lol....so true.

I have the sewer hoses, and the lego blocks, and the hand crank. I like to give my arms a workout. 😊
The sewer hoses are stored for a maybe possibly future camper that I may own one day

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

You have all the tools needed for now and the future.

[@TheGratitudeAttitude]

It’s amazing how many things we need to get with a new camper. I visited your Amazon store and I spotted the adorable pillow that you have in your dinette… It is so adorable. I also saw the attachment to the drill that you use for your stabilizers ... I hope that will works with our T@G; it’s a great idea! Have a wonderful week! ~ Maria

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Hope that stabilizer works out well. Thank you for visiting our store.

Good tips. If I can ever pull the trigger and get a trailer I may have to come back and re-watch a lot of these videos. Wishing I had done it a long time ago.

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

We had originally talked about buying a trailer when we retired. During covid we decided not to wait any longer. We've never regretted it.

Surge protector is a must. Happy camper is also good stuff. I always use a filter just like that. Yeah. I need the Anderson levelers. I use Legos. Try X chocks, they are awesome. It's a good list. Thanks for sharing.

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Wish we could use x chocks, but we can't do that on a single axle trailer.

Hi, this is amazing video. We are making notes and when we finally get our RV we will watch it again :-) We could use that drill for our garden projects.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@lowlifeangler]

You mentioned " going out west trip"...well book your campsites 6 months in advance. I cheated using hotels but went out west for 2 weeks from Ohio. Covered Rocky Mts national park, Dinosaur national monument, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Devil's Tower , Black Hills and Badlands. Small camper is the way to go. If you ever been to Smokies , The are foot hills compared to out west.

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Thankfully Red is an extremely organized trip planner, she booked some of our sites last year for this summer. I am excited to see how the Ranger tows the Tab in the Rockies, that will be the big test in my book. We love our small rig and the places it can take us but still keep us comfy. We will be hitting pretty much everything on the list, except Yellowstone and Tetons on this trip.

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Nice list guy. We have almost everything.

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Sounds like you're well prepared.

Thx for sharing these tips! Do you have a video to show your process taken to change the color of your T@B trim to teal?

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

We have a brief video that shows the transformation but doesn't go into any details. This was done before we started the channel so our video was just for fun. We used plasti dip and it was actually very user friendly. Thank you so much for watching. TJ & Red

Do you have a link to the cell booster system you mentioned on New Jersey Outdoor Adventure? We also have a 2020 T@b 400 BDL and love your RUclips channel for tips

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

We got a Pepwave system. I will dig up the information for you and get it to you asap.
send an email it will be easier. [e-mail]

[@gingerbardenhagen9104]

i’m new to campers so this was so helpful, thank you. We are hoping to purchase a 2021 or 2022 boondock. Did you get yours custom painted? That is the exact color i told my husband that i hoped would be an option when we order.

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

Hi! We painted our trailer using plasti dip. However, we were recently at the nuCamp factory and spotted a teal tab 400. We inquired and it turns out it can be done. We were quoted $1,500 for this special trim.
This is a short of us changing the color of our tab. ruclips.net/video/inKS0h89aTE/видео.html

[@jeffb9444]

Just watched your T@b tour on New Jersey Outdoor Adventure. What tire pressure monitor system do you have and did you have to replace the value stems to install it?

[@LovingLifeHitchedUp]

We did not have to replace the stems, it is a pretty easy set up, and we did not have to wire in the signal booster for it to reach the monitor in the truck. We just added the piece to replace the cap on the stem. They are not flow through so to add air to the tire you have to screw off the "cap monitor" simple tool and 1,2,3 it is off.

we have it all set up in the electronics tab. Will link you to the exact one we bought.
