...the country.
My existing trailer camper weighs around 4500lbs. The best I can do is 1.1 to 1.2 mpkw at 60mph, 70deg weather and relatively flat terrain.
The teardrop I am interested in is T@b 400 from NuCamp.
I would appreciate any comments, inputs and suggestions from your personal...
Sounds good but I tried the Andersen website and there were several pages that were 404. Did they get sued?
Also, there were several positive reviews on YT, but they were not for 5T trailers, and many said they wouldn't trust it. Has anyone seen one on my size trailer?
I towed a NuCamp Avia travel trailer from Louisville to Kansas City with a properly adjusted Anderson WDH and it was super smooth even over the crappy Indiana interstates. I'm guessing your hitch needs proper adjustment or your trailer brakes have an issue.
It can be done. I towed a teardrop trailer (Tab 400) from East Jersey to Kansas City with my Lariat ER. AND a Nucamp Avia from Louisville to KC. Neither trip was fast or fun but I never came close to running out of juice.
Don't have a truck camper, but I have a NuCamp Tab 320S. NuCamp's classic teardrop. Smaller than the 400, but bigger than the Tag. I averaged 1.4 mi/kWHr, but could get higher or lower depending on weather and elevation change.
Also important to note, I have extensive Towing experience...
...I-94 route this trip because of the Superchargers. All the Superchargers on I-90 in SD and WY are V2 (UPDATE: looks like Gillette, WY has a V3 SC now).
I pulled a NuCamp AVIA RV (28' - 6k lbs) from Louisville to KC last summer. I'm guessing this trip across ND will be a cakewalk in...
Thanks! I pulled the A-Frame with my Lightning about 6,000 miles before having a structural issue, so I traded it out in Oregon for the Nucamp T@B 400.
I’ve posted my towing thoughts in a couple other threads. The camper was a T21TBHW, which sits 68” tall when folded down. I averaged 1.4...
Thanks, just updated the spreadsheet!
I traded my Flagstaff A-frame camper for a Nucamp T@b 400 last month, but I had a tailwind for the entire trip home. I’ll update next spring when I have some clean numbers, but it’s looking like 1.1-1.2 at 60 MPH. Not as good as I hoped.
I arrived in...
...I’ll be adding another next week. I reached the turnaround point 2,000 miles from home and saw clear signs my camper wasn’t up for these kind of miles. I traded for a Nucamp T@B 400 in western Oregon, so I’ve got lots of miles in front of me. I’m hoping for 1.3, but that’s looking doubtful.
I towed a NuCamp TAB 400 from Denville, NJ to Kansas City and averaged around 1.3 mi/kWh. It's an 18' long 3,000lb trailer and a fair amount taller than the 320. That was at 55mph. Crazy thing is we decided to get a NuCamp AVIA and sell the TAB. Pretty much got the same mi/kWh pulling the...
My camper is a 2023 NuCamp Tab 320S with a tongue weight of around 326 pounds, a length of 15.5 feet and a total weight of about 2350 pounds. So far she tows like a dream and while towing my range from 90% is around 135 miles.
Feel free to comment!
thanks for update! just back from 2nd...
I have a NuCamp T@G, which is considerably shorter and smaller than your T@B. I get around 1.6 mi/kwh at 65 mph. I think the biggest gain is that my trailer is shorter than the truck cab, so it sits inside the slipstream. With that, I can push 200 mi on a full battery.
...decent delay between current travels and uploads as editing takes time. I will keep posting as I add additional videos!

An update our my towing experience. Had a chance to buy one of the rare NuCamp AVIA travel trailers at a very attractive price so the TAB 400 will be sold. I towed the AVIA back from Louisville to Kansas City and the efficiency didn't seem any different than towing the TAB 400. The AVI is 28'...
