“Before you Buy, See The Air Force Guy”
I am thinking about buying one of these. I think they are two of the best small campers out there. Well done video, and very helpful. Thanks.
Outdoor speakers..because people don't blast their music enough and bother everyone else ;)
I’m leaning towards the TAB but I hate how it has such a small fridge. It looks like it can barely hold anything compared to the LGM fridge. I really like the bathroom for the TAB better as well.
Check this out. They are putting a bigger Refer in them now, it’s an option.
ruclips.net/video/yAqjQGHSDb8/видео.html
The Air Force Guy That’s great! Thank you.
Traded from the Tab to the LG. The bathroom is much better in the LG. It has a full shower surround that is wider and deeper than the Tab. Also, the LG has a full queen size bed without the claustrophobic sharp angle for the person sleeping on the inside. We put in a Serta pillow top and the sleeping experience is now amazing. The refrigerator is also larger in the LG and just positioned better. The Tab interior design is more aesthetically pleasing, but not enough to overcome the shortcomings.
The Cost is $36,000 .it Started in credit. He's talking if you scroll down you will see all the amenities and then you will see the cost it's actually roughly mainly 37,000
Except for the small fridge and no sink in bathroom, this is pretty perfect, checks almost all of my boxes.
This Refer is a 4 cubic foot one. Other campers this size have much smaller ones. For most people this Refer is plenty big enough, since they know what is offered in the other ones....
There is a sink in the kitchen area a few steps away. Keep your bottled and can drinks stored below, and place a six pack or two in the fridge at a time leaving more room for other things. I have a ice maker I place on a table outside the door... Uses around 100 watts, which can be easily supplied by my banks of solar panels or my inverter generator off the grid... Never running out of ice makes you the boss of any campground...
Shouldn't you actually show BOTH trailers if you're doing a "comparison"?!
Here is that comparison: ruclips.net/video/pr-mO3fnMqA/видео.html
Wish everyone would do a slow good pan first. Noone has shown the legnth both ways to really get "the feel"
Much prefer a sink in the bathroom for sanitary reasons but overall real nice What's the cost compared to the Nucamp 400?
Specs & Pricing are listed below this video: ruclips.net/video/pr-mO3fnMqA/видео.html
You give up the wardrobe for an 1 cubic foot? Also I have heard that the sink in the bathroom in the T@b 400 does not drain well. To me the LG Max seems to be the better RV. Big price difference as well.
The cabinetry in this blows everything else away. It also appears to have better storage inside than the Intech Sol and T@B400. I for one don't care about capacities as I would only go full hook up. Thanks for pointing out the misleading hitch weights.
Thanks for Watching!
so I'm starting a round country trip, and will stop in every county with a post office(so I can work, I have a shop). after my truck and camper, my budget will be finite, and ill be forced to get on the road before I've finished upgrading. my end goal is - heavy duty diesel pickup(one ton), truck camper+cargo trailer small, and ill have that setup complete in November, but all will be stock. I will end up with 1200w solar, 600-1000ah lithium battery bank, a fridge that only uses 80w including freezer. I'm pulling out the built in speaker.tv, and will use the speaker holes int alls for storage, and the entertainment panel(CD player, am/fm radio, etc) as my solar station. so there won't be any built in tv or speakers anymore, and the panels spot will be used for my solar controller/s. I don't know what to get first! also, I plan to use a compost toilet and will switch out my black tank for and extra propane storage. also, I'm using Castile soap which is organic, which eliminates gray water also.
pulling out speakers/tv and will be. using a macboook air + Bose sound link bluetooth speaker for my entertainment, using speaker holes and control panel spot for solar/storage.
Just started looking into a rv/camper/campervan so I'm not yet up to the knowledge base as some who posted here. Enjoyed watching your videos and the commentary. What is Azdel construction and why would it be better than something else? Also, what is an ALDE system? Thanks for you time in responding. (Also an Air Force vet)
ruclips.net/video/7MDWofugfZI/видео.html
Azdel Website: www.azdelonboard.com/
Alde system is for Heat and hot Water. It is a system that has been used for years in Europe. More expensive, but definitely has its advantages.
All the comparisons to the T@b convinced me that even the commentator thinks the T@b is the best.
Check out the factory tour for the T@B , you will be impressed.
I had my heart set on a LG max until I saw the tank sizes were so small. They claim it's made for boon docking but not for very long :-(
Keep some jerry cans filled with water in the back of your large SUV/pickup required to pull this trailer... Or camp at a site with portable water and other hookups...
@@ronclark9724 at a site with hookups? You serious? She said boondocking. Ya know what that means?
Just add length to make the beds run north to south so you can climb out without climbing over your bed mate.
Maybe one day! But then the issue is now it is a regular travel trailer and you need a larger tow vehicle. There are plenty of other RV's out there that give you that walk around bed.
I can't imagine having a see through glass bathroom door. Why would they do that? It appears that there is no privacy to use the restroom or to shower.
There will be another option available soon! Their intial thought was you were with soneonecthat you knee and not with strangers.
I'm amazed they didn't consider a family might use this with 1 or 2 children. It's just creepy to me that as nice as this camper looks, they took a HUGE misstep and put that clear glass bathroom door in. Our family is very modest and respectful of each others private moments so this company's campers will never be a consideration.
The glass is not clear, it is somewhat of a textured glass. I had pointed this out to Chris Baum from Little Guy and he told me they have another one that will be out soon. We can always change this if that was a concern for someone as well.

Oops
I would love to own and live in a LG Max one day.. :)
Lol my camp grounds include crossing a creek and driving down some pretty f'ed up roads. Not much in to glamping😁😁
Thanks for watching!
I expect to see more and more of these on the road. Very attractive and seem to be well made.
I love this setup. Perfect!! How much is this little rv?
Priced in the low $30,000 range... Thanks for watching
thats a hell of a unit,nice job!
Is there access to the outside storage from inside the teardrop?
Thank you Paul
Appreciate you watching!
What is a typical charge for paperwork and prepping the 2021 Tab 400 boondock? I’m trying to budget for one and know that is part of the fees charged.
We include the prep and freight in the price we give to our customers.
But Ii'm Paul the Air Force guy. SAC born in, served in. My first words were General LeMay.
Thanks for your Service & Comment....
I was in Vietnam with Lemay's grand-nephew...
Why did you not add prices
Good job, Paul! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks
They trailer is really thought out, but the only issue that I can see is the low point drain discharge and all the low hanging piping and tanks. That's got rock or road debris strike written all over it. I'm sure a guy can fab up some shielding to remedy some of that. I'm a big fan of Thetford cartridge toilets with that system eliminating the black tank altogether ridding all the discharge piping, and the ease of disposal makes it a perfect system in a smaller RV.
They do have an option that would increase the ground clearance by 3.5"
Paul Chamberlain, Jr yes I'm aware of the axle upgrade. I'v been impressed with LittleGuy/NuCamp I've been invited to tour the Somerset factory once tours begin and I'm also looking to come down to your dealership as well to see different models on hand. Unfortunately it doesn't seem that there are any dealers near me that offers such a variety.
Powder River a
Paul;
Can you get the lg max in the outback configuration?
Thanks
Glenn Bartlett
It is going to be somewhat like the outback Edition on the NuCamp. But, Yes you can get a different look. Little Guy calls it Rough Rider Package (Optional)
Matte black 15” Off-road wheels/tires
Black diamond plate
3.5” axle riser
Love it ~ good feature comparison. Nice to have the larger front and back beds. Two tvs? Crazy! Is it mainly a wood framed structure with luan? Just curious because the nuCamp has the azdiel (sp?).
Aluminum Frame with Azdel
Paul, an idea for the little guy, instead of plastic cover being used on the propane and battery, why not make it out of same material used on the Rick shield? It would blend in and match the front of the trailer and last longer!!!
For the off road edition, you can get the option to give you 3.5" more ground clearance as well asa rock guard style box for the Lp & Battery
Paul Chamberlain, Jr is
Yes
A see through bathroom door is right across from the entrance. Why would they put in a see through bathroom door?
Exactly what I thought. I wouldn't buy this one just for that reason.
It's a well thought out getaway camper.
Thanks for showing the fridge and the storage closet????????????????
This was just a comparison video - check out my other videos on the LG Max as well as the Factory Tour to see how it is built.
@@TheAirForceGuy Seems like there IS a difference between the storage between the two...........big time!
@@richardkoch8752 Yes there is .... Also to be fair, TAB 400 is only 18' and the LM Max is 21'
The only things that the LG Max has over the T@b 400 is the hideaway tv, back up camera and LED lights.
Also, more storage (because it is 3' linger)
Outside stereo speakers
Hitch receiver
Larger dinette
Actual Queen size bed
More outside storage with full pass thru
Larger Refer
TV can be outside
Taller interior
Bike Rack
Electric Jack
Window that has a screen on it in the door
All this for the same money.
@@TheAirForceGuy is it made with Azdel?
Two tvs
Can you show the wardrobe in LG. The tab had a nice one.
The rear hitch is huge for me. A cargo tray for my 2500 Inverter/Gen is a must.@@TheAirForceGuy
I want to get one of these but am car shopping first for a car. What so I need too look for to make sure I have enough power. I don’t want a truck. I was thinking of a Subaru Outback 6 cylinder but I don’t think that will have enough power.
Call me on Monday so I can explain the weight properly
301-898-3300 x139
Not sure if the question was answered in previous comments but do you do financing and if so what would be the minimal payment?
We do have financing options. Payment will be determined by length of the loan and credit. Typically banks like to see at least 10% down, so for this RV it would be about $3,500. Hope that helps. Ferl frre to give me a call @ 301-898-3300 x139 to discuss further. Thanks!
Ur info real informative thx
I see stick construction. So, I am not so sure now if I want it.
Thomas, Where do you see Stick Construction? This is built using Aluminum studs in the walls that are laminated just like alot of other brands out there.
Paul Chamberlain, Jr at 6.27 minute mark the storage Compartment. Does not look like aluminum to me. I might be wrong.
What they use on the interior has nothing to do with the wall construction. There are many companies that use wood for framing up the bed area in their trailers or dinette booths.
Looks like there is a puncture hole in the outside cabinet under the bed. When you were showing the storage drawer. Better check it out before selling to a customer
Not sure what you were seeing! The only puncture hole was the handle to open the drawer.
Where do I find one of their little guy max trailers in Utah?
Check the Little Guy Trailer Website: golittleguy.com/
Please Paul , how much are the little guy max
I have it listed in the summary below the Video. $36,995 for the LG Max
Oh oh!
Little Guy Trailers
The MSRP is $29,999 with almost every option. There are only 4 upgrades beyond the standard trailer which would put MSRP around $32,000
so what is dealer cost.. i never buy at MSRP. even on vehicle.
Where do you plug in your coffee pot near the sink?
Just behind the sink in the left. There is a 12 volt plug there as well.
The awning looks like it will break off during the first use! It absolutely needs the legs!! Shower door should go the full length. All that moisture shouldn't be going out into the entire unit.
Sorry that I did not pull out the supporting legs. As far as the moisture from the shower, that is why there is a power vent fan to exhaust it. If it was a full length door then there would be mold issue inside the shower area. Ventilation is always best.
@@TheAirForceGuy I do appreciate you taking the time to answer but that powerful fan would suck the air dry in a tiny batroom/wet room. But leaving it open like that allows that moist, warm air to go out into the entire camper & then less likely that fan will do its job completely.
When using a fantastic fan you must open a window. This type fan will not only remove the moisture from the shower area, but will circulate the air from the entire inside of the RV. Yes this will remove all the warm or cool air in the camper while doing so. If that is not what someone wants to do, it can be easily replaced with the smaller fan blades so you do not need to open a window or door while using.
@@TheAirForceGuy Oh ok. I didn't know that about those fans. Very interesting. However I still find it gross the door does not close all the way (toliet). But thank you for explaining in regards to the moisture. It sounds like it is capable of doing the job.
A little guy trailer with a max price vs a trailer with a tab over your budget.
Both the Little Guy Max & T@B 400 are priced in the same price range. They are not for everyone. There are so many different RV’s out there so there should be one for just about everyone’s budget. Thanks for Watching.
Very comprehensive video. Thanks.
Paul;
Will you be around this Saturday the19th?
Yes I will be here all day! Best time is early morning or around 3pm
How much have you sold used little guy Max’s for ❓
It's been a long time and don't remember how much. Sorry!
I really like it.
Thanks for Watching!
So your tongue weights.....did you fill it with water? I wonder how that would impact your results
Water weighs 8.33 lbs per gallon. Because the fresh water tank is forward of the axles, it would impact the tongue weight alot.
ruclips.net/video/KpxYubNlkG8/видео.html
No idea where the tanks are located and I am very aware that 10 gallons or 20 gallons will make a huge difference in the tongue weight.
So where is this dealership?
Thurmont, Maryland 301-898-3300, please remember to ask for Paul "The Air Force Guy" when calling, emailing or stopping by, Thank you!
*FOLKS!* ( *Wasn't this guy in 'Caddyshack?' 'Judge Smails?'* )
Thanks for watching... Still waiting for my soup....
is this made with Azdel?
Yes
Why is the tongue weight so gosh darn much? Over 500 lbs? Yikes! How do the smaller vehicles that assume they can tow the gross weight deal with that much tongue weight. I thought tongue weight was 10 -15 % of gross weight ( plus trailer loading and batt/propane)
Just the way it is made. The 10 - 15% is pretty accurate. 15% of the GVWR is over 500 lbs. Remember the dry weight is almost 3,200 lbs.
It amazes me that the best innovations in design engineering do NOT cross over to most brands such as the full extension pull out storage tray or drawer for the basement storage compartments..more efficiency is a second thought I guess. But European designs like that and others are still slowly filtering into crappy built u.s built travel trailers..guess profit is part of the reason.
Problem with putting a storage tray in the pass thru area is that you lose height and width. So in reality, you lose storage space. As far as design & build, these are some of the best in the industry. Time will prove that!
I always see the comments about European caravans being better built than their US counterparts which everyone and their grandmother like to say are just "crap" but when I tried to read about WHY European caravans are "better" built I could not find many articles about it. I don't find any articles discussing their builds at all. (If you know some, send a few links my way)
With many US trailers I can actually know what goes in the trailer, how its built, what materials they built it with, and if I am near their factories many of them even give walk-around tours. You can actually see how these trailers are made. I've also seen many innovations with regards to safety and build standards in American trailers. The variety of trailers in the US from the iconic Airstreams to trailers made entirely from fiberglass, Azdel, and traditional stick builds are available. There is literally something for everybody.
With European caravans, they have fantastic interior decorations and styling. I'd give them that. But often I don't know what goes in the trailer. And I doubt makers disclose their built "secrets".
Basically, what I'm saying is I hope people would provide better reasoning (and evidence) to substantiate the claim that US trailers are crap. I'd like to know more.
Look up where the tab came from and how long it's been sold in Europe.
How much does it cost ?
I have a New 2019 on Sale for $26,999. They are normally in the Low $30,000 range
Can this be hauled with 🚙?
Depends on what you have. Would recommend one that has a 5,000 lb tow rating....
Paul, I'm confused. I thought this was a comparison to the T@B 400? I don't believe I have seen the T@B 400 on this video? Without the T@B 400, it would not be a comparison!!! This is simply a selling video for the Little Guy Max!
That was the first one and it was a comparison to the T@B 400 as far as the specs were concerned. Then I did the side by side as well.
here is the side by side comparison:
ruclips.net/video/pr-mO3fnMqA/видео.html
Great info Paul!
Appreciate that... Thanks for Watching!
I got dizzy with the camera waving around and couldn't actually figure out the floor plan.
I have upgraded to an actual camera. Check out this video for the Little Guy Max, hopefully it is better for you!
ruclips.net/video/njhoj-00fZY/видео.html
In about two months will be worth half the cost people save your money and buy used
Not even close. We have a hard time trading them because people are selling them privately. By the way now they are over $40,000.... So those that purchased two years ago are getting close to what they paid for them.
I love these little tear drops but their tanks and refrigerators are so small I have to pass on them. :(
Small teardrops have small everything. This one has a larger Refer than the others that are in the same category. When it comes to the tank size, unfortunately there is only so much floor space to install them on. Thanks for watching!
how tall is the pass through?
I will get you an exact measurement tomorrow when I am at work. Thanks for your question.
Paul Chamberlain, Jr Are the walls vacuum seal construction?
Door opening is 28" wide by 10.5" tall. The interior height up to the cross members below the bed is 15"
The sidewalls are Pinch Rolled

Whats the difference between the NUcamp and little guy
NuCamp is Pleasant Valley Trailers out of Ohio.
Little Guy is a separate company out of Somerset, Pa and North Carolina.
Little Guy use to use Pleasant Valley Trailers to build for them. Their relationship was ended this April.
Great video😀
Thanks for watching and for your comment!
wow...thats slick...and Price...????
Click where it says "Show More" below the video and scroll down, it's all there. Thanks!
sleeping in a little guy is like sleeping in a clorox bottle built my own teardrop and it's good to minus 45 and plus 140 before you need heat and air my curb wt is 2800.
He obviously sells Little Guys and so I’m not sure this can be considered a fair comparison. Maybe that’s just me being cynical.
Actually, we have both campers. Here are videos on the NuCamp. I’ve been to both plants twice to shoot videos. ruclips.net/channel/UCI83c1wKjFfZLqCZy-vGrKgsearch?query=NuCamp
He is a better comparison: ruclips.net/video/pr-mO3fnMqA/видео.html
The Air Force Guy thanks! Great info!
If I do sales, I'm going to say, "The Janitor Guy" because I was a janitor in the past.
That will work! Thanks for watching...
Great video, very informative.
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it....
$ 24000 wow
Dude was so hyped about his own personal introductions he started to call it a tab
Haha the budget on this production can't be that low... TAKE 2!!!
Thanks for Watching
No way is this travel trailer worth of money they are asking.
To each their own. People who understand size of companies and quality of build have no issue with the cost. We all know that there are larger campers out there for the same and/or less money. It all comes down to what you want & need. Happy Camping
I understand your point!👍
God, I hate salesmen!
Me too!
until you need to know something, eh?
Great response!
Aw, what the hell. Someone has to do it. I just wish I felt like they knew what they were talking about. When I got back from my first exploratory to Camping World last week, I felt like I knew a lot more about Thor than he did. He was just waiting to pounce in various scammy-type places, like the financing we don't need.
@@alicevonkannon1033 how much are these things
There hasn't been 110 volts for 50 years... It's 120 volts.....
Right on the electrical hook-up on RV's it specifically says 110/125 volt AC.
@@TheAirForceGuy So, if it says BOTH, then why call it 110 vac when it's clearly (at least to me) 120+ vac residential service here in the USA..????
Countries that use 110 vac: Anguilla, Belize, British Virgin Islands, Cuba, Guam, Haiti, Jamaica, Saba, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Taiwan, United States Virgin Islands.
My point is that after about 60 years of use, it's about time people living here in the USA and 'advising'' them, learn what is the correct electrical service/supply voltage in the country they live in..... Unless of course you plan to travel in one of the above countries.. Then your are 'good to go'.. LOL! Just sayin..
DOOOD!
HE SOUNDS A VERY NERVOUS GUY
It was my first video, nervous like crazy.... Thanks for watching!
Poorly build\t having critical plumbing hanging down!
Scott, not sure what plumbing you are talking about. These are one of the best TearDrops in the Market. Thanks for Watching.
Both are ridiculously overpriced, they both should be no more than $12,000 to $15,000 thousand. All these rvs are geared for the rich.
Good Luck finding any RV of this Quality in that price range New! Only people that understand the RV Industry know why they are priced where they are. It is hard for people outside the RV Industry to understand.
I thought that too at first. I think the easiest to see is an rv with cardboard and glue cabinets, versus birch wood with dovetail joints.
Totally..ive seen 24' trailers for 21k. What is up with your prices. I want a small unit with a small price..ugggh
B Randell honestly how many birch cabinets do you see?
I am not rich-the TAB is worth it-the build quality is so far beyond that standard cheap RV's.
There can be a 2" receiver on bumper for bikes etc.
These hitch bike racks are ridiculous. Bad aerodynamics, they can rub on camper, harder to use and look hideous.
Why do people like them?.. lol
Because their bikes get less bounce vs being on the back. They are more secure as well. I had a customer towing his 5th wheel with expensive bikes on the back and while going thru a city at a stop light, he noticed someone riding off with his bike the other way. No way for him to catch him.
Count how many times he says "of course" and "folks.". Annoying!!
I need to add a disclaimer. I am not a Professional Actor.
Thanks for watching!
,aliner camper
Yes we have them as well
I like the Max! But I swear you look and sound just like a car salesman right out of the 50’s, all need is a bow tie! What does the Air Force have the do with RV sales?
Chuck, Thanks for Watching. "The Air Force Guy" is how I have branded myself over the last decade. People forget names, but remember brands. It has been very effective over the last few years on Social Media. You know I often considered wearing a bow tie!
