Who ever thought a 5 minute video on a wetbath could be so interesting? Well done Patrick!
LOL! Thank you John!
Thanks for the video! That shower is one major selling point for that camper. And it’s a cool camper to start with. The more you cover, the more I want one.
We absolutely love it! Best trailer we’ve ever owned.
That is a lot of stuff packed into that space, a toilet, a sink, a shower, storage, heat, lights, and even you, all while filming. Nice job. I'm always amazed how you can get so much info into a five-minute video. Thumbs up.
It’s tough sometimes to keep these to 5 minutes....plus you know I like to talk so I really have to get to the point quickly! LOL
I'm so in love with this camper 🥰. Thank you for the video 🤗
You are so welcome.
No wasted space, well thought out design. Great video Patrick. 👍
I’ve been doing my research on the teardrop campers and I agree. This is the best wet bath I’ve seen thus far. I’m not sure if you know but they changed the sink and the placement of it in the newer models. It seems it is fixed and smaller now, but the new placement of it is what I’m not sure would work well. Most don’t have a sink at all so I’m glad at least they have one. Now, if they’d only change the kitchen sink which I really don’t like at all. 🤦♀️ I think they could’ve thought of a better design especially seeing other campers. Why they chose that design is beyond me. 🤷🏻♀️
NuCamp and Casita have the best wet baths I've seen!
Seen a few of your videos now. I hope NuCamp ask you to be one of their ambassadors as you really present the T@b400 in detail for your audience.
Thanks Patrick for another great and informative Take 5 video. These really help to answer questions we have about the systems in the Tab 400.
I am so glad to hear that they are helpful even though they are very basic.
That's good to know about the ice in the black tank. Much more economical than the chemicals I have seen to clean tank sensors. Thanks!
So luxurious! As info, we asked nuCamp if they're considering a composting toilet as an option, but they said not yet. Which would be nice for extended boondocking, and it could potentially turn the black tank into an extension of the gray tank for more capacity. As always, your vids on 400 features are the best out there! Thank you.
Thank you! I would love to investigate the idea of converting the black tank into a 2nd grey tank and then adding the compost toilet.
Love this design and the quality. I've looked at other smaller, much more expensive RV's and this bath beats them all.. thanks for showing us
We honestly love this bathroom better than the full bath we had in our 5th wheel.
Great video at explaing the featers that is probably the nicest i have been as well.
Patrick you should be a paid spokesman for NuCamp!! Love the ice idea too! Great video
Thank you! We love our trailer and NuCamp.
Excellent video Patrick. I especially liked that you stand inside the bathroom during the video so everyone can see that there is actually space to move around, move your arms, etc, while showering.
If you can edit this video I'd like to suggest that you emphasize that the water temperature stays where you set it thanks to the Alde water heater/system.
All those travel trailers with the Atwood heater have major problems with water temperature changing when the shower is turned off & turned back on.
You might also consider letting us know the actual headroom height. I'm a mere 5'6" & weigh 120# so I know there is sufficient headroom for MEeee.
It’s actually crazy how much room there is in that bathroom.
The Luxurious Wetbath! (You saved the best for last, didn't you?) Yep, it's a keeper - Our LGMax shower head didn't come with an 'on/off ' switch so we upgraded (a water conservation must-have!) and no shelving (a large mesh pocket organizer serves the purpose tho).
That bag of ice trick in toilet sloshing around to clean is a great tip! Thanks!!
Safe travels and see you #ondowntheroad 💜
Compared to the wet bath in our last trailer, it truly is luxurious! LOL.
this was super helpful thank you. my husband and I are planning on buying a T@B for the 2020 season. We are going between the 320 and the 400. I'm leaning more towards the 400 even though it's a fair bit more money. I've really appreciated your channel. Thanks for the great content!!
Thank you! If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
The fold down sink is a nice innovation
The new version that NuCamp came out with Darins so much better than the one that was in our 2018 model
Great practical and useful info...thanks!
Yes, our way bath is great. It does have the shower leak problem, but Nu camp is sending the kit to fix it. At least the small leak only was into the shower pan, no damage, just damp feet.
They fixed ours this summer at the rally.
Hello sir. Many thanks for these informative videos. My question is what is the interior height standing in the shower
Amazing how you can put all that in a small space....great job thank you
They did an amazing job on the design of the 400. Very little space is unused
Thanks Patrick!
Thank you
I know you no longer have the Tab, but I noticed in this video that the shower curtain easily glides on the rail. It takes me 15 minutes to position my shower curtain because the hooks don't glide at all. What's the secret to getting the hooks to glide on the rail? I have a 2022 Tab 400 boondock. Thank you!
Pat, I know you guys moved onto a bigger camper! Congrats! Maybe it's your teaching background but we sure enjoyed all your vids on Tab400 and sorry to see you leaving Tab400 comm. While we love all the features of Tab400 (dedicated queen bed), we are still undecided between cassette toilet on 2021 model vs. the standard one you have on your vid. What is your opinions on cassette toto? It's very confusing for me (actual day to day using of the CT) as there seems to be 50/50 ops about either of them. Thanks so much for all your vids!
We don't have those features in the T@B 320S, one of the sacrifices of going small. Info is still useful for our bathroom too though. Thanks!
The bath in the 320 is quite a bit smaller but it’s still nice to have a bath in a unit that size.
Absolutely! Glad to have one! For a small camper, it doesn't feel crowded. The light colored interior helps.
Nice bath. I've been comparing the Tab 400 to the LG Max. I'm disappointed with nuCamp that the side windows up front don't open (cute but not functional round windows) and the very small 2 way fridge in the 400 is a deal killer for me.
Thanks
Great video, Patrick! Have you noticed the place at the back of the toilet where it says, "add water here" or something like that? Is that where one pours water to add your chemical to keep the tank fresh? I have just poured water into the toilet bowel. Love watching and learning from your videos every week!
I haven’t seen that on our toilet. I’ll have to go look later and see if we ha e that. I just put the chemical into the toilet and flush it down.
Very nice for a wet bath... One ? does water run into the top of the heater in the bath?
If any does, not much. It’s open though so it must not hurt or to be exposed to water.
OK thank you guys
Hi Patrick! Thank you for creating these videos. We LOVE our T@B 400 and the wet bath was a big selling point for us. Unfortunately, I am unable to take a decent shower as the water heats up for a short time and then goes cold. If I stop the flow for a moment and turn it back on, it gets up to the right temperature momentarily again. Have you had any issues with yours? Thank you!
We had an issue with ours when we first got it. I had to adjust the hot water thermostat which is located in the outside door where you can access all of your water valves. My guess is yours may need to be adjusted as well.
Hi Patrick. Just curious. Is there a special or certain kind of paper recommended for the RV toilet? It's hard to imagine a calamity much worse than a stopped up or overflowing RV toilet. Also, how much water is used per flush? Thanks!
A lot of people buy the RV toilet paper. I have also used the Septic Safe toilet paper that we use here at home as well. You have given me an idea for a video. I think I will run some simple test here inside comparing the two types to see how they dissolve over a set period of time. Thank you for giving me that idea. As far as the amount of water to flush, you really don't need much since its not really flushing but instead just dropping down into the black tank. One key though is to make sure you put a gallon or two into the tank before using it the first time after emptying it. That way solids won't be setting on a dry black tank floor.
Hey! So does the curtain go in front of the toilet when showering or tucked behind ?
It goes in front so that your toilet does not get wet
Do you have a video that covers the outdoor shower? Our water pressure seems to be weak and it makes a lot of groaning noises!
I don't have a specific video on the outdoor shower. If I remember right, there is a shutoff valve for the water lines running to the outdoor shower. Yours may not be fully open. Our shutoff valves were located below the wardrobe where the water pump was in our 2018 T@B 400
Good info. Where did you find your little trash can that fits beside the commode? We have been searching for a good fit.
We ordered it on Amazon

How is the hot water pressure with the Alde system?
We never had an issue with water pressure on our T@B 400
How long approximately of a shower can you take until the hot water turns cold? If you have city water hook up will it stay hot continually?
With the newer models having Alde's "Flow" add-on, it will be able to give you hot water continuously.
Is there room on the toilet for a fairly wide bottom? ( I have my Mother's hips) LOL!!!🤣
It worked for me and I am not small by any means! LOL
How big is your water tank on the tab and hot water. Do you ever run out?
The fresh water tank is 30 gallons. I am not sure what size the Alde water heater tank is...I will have to check on that. We have not had any issues with running out of fresh water or hot water.
Do you pour the ice water in the toilet?
Donnie Snow we just dump a bag of ice down the toilet before we leave.
how big of a bag?
I usually just get a small bag . I believe they around 5-7# depending on where you buy ice.
I think this bath is nicer than the one in the Avia.
Hi Patrick, Does water go into the Aldo heater from the top while showering?
It’s possible it could as it has slots on the top. It must not be an issue though
@@TravelswithDelaney wondering if it has a drain on the bottom of the heat vent so the water will just run in the bathroom drain.
Is there a macerator option available on the Tab 400?
No there is not.
Thank you
How tall are you?
6'0"
@@TravelswithDelaney Perfect. Me too. And looks like a good fit.
Unless your husband doesn't run the shower curtain all of the way around. LOL. I couldn't figure out how the front of the shelves were all wet.
Oh no!! LOL So there might be a learning curve!
Wet bath, auto spell, grrrr.
You gotta love auto correct lol
