TAG vs TAB — Which one is right for you?
You’re considering buying one of those cute little teardrop campers. You like the idea of carrying your “home” around with you when you travel and maybe even trying your hand at boondocking to give your adventuresome side free rein.
But you’re not sure which one to go with. Which is the better fit for your needs and desires: the compact TAG or the roomier TAB? And is size the only difference between the two?
Here’s a quick rundown on the differences between the two to help you make your decision.
TAG Teardrop
The TAG Teardrop Trailer is the lightest teardrop in the nuCamp family and can be towed by just about any vehicle. The perfect two-person sleeper, the TAG comes with a queen-size bed (the TAG XL offers a larger bed), Ohio Amish rich real wood cabinetry, a sink and two-burner stove, Yeti cooler, 8-gallon fresh-water tank, air-conditioning and external shower.
The TAG line also has options for those who want a little more. Our Convenience Package includes LED lights, galley speakers and tank/ battery monitors and disconnect, among others. (Click here for the full list.) And if you’re a confirmed boondocker, you have your choice of two packages: Boondock Lite and Boondock Edge. As for exterior customization, we give you choices there as well—two base colors and five trim colors, as well as three graphics options: Classic, Matrix and Dottie.
Easy to hook up, your TAG is will always be ready for an adventure—just like you!
TAB Teardrop
Looking for something a little bigger with a few more features? One of our three TAB models—TAB 320 CS/CS-S, TAB 320 S/U and TAB 400—is sure to fit the bill! All three share specific features including central air conditioning, a queen-sized bed, entertainment system, and Alde heat and hot water system—not to mention Ohio Amish rich real wood cabinetry!
TAB 320 CS & TAB 320 CS-S—A cute little two-sleeper, Our TAB Clamshell has a queen-size bed and plenty of storage space. We’ve tucked the kitchen in the back hatch of the camper, complete with sink, two-burner stove and two-way fridge. If you want the convenience of a wet-bath, just pick our 320 CS-S model.
