Episode Details

After years of RV adventures—and owning everything from pop-ups to a 32-foot Grand Design Imagine—we’ve added a new, smaller rig to our camping lineup: a 2024 nüCamp Tab 320 CS-S. This teardrop trailer with a clamshell kitchen is already bringing a whole new level of flexibility and simplicity to our camping life.

In this episode of The RV Atlas podcast, we talk through all the details behind this big (yet small) decision—why we wanted a second RV, what we were shopping for, how our dealership experiences shaped the purchase, and what we love about the T@b 320 CS-S.

Why We Wanted a Smaller Second RV

This purchase wasn’t about replacing our Grand Design Imagine 2800 BH “bunkhouse”—it was about complementing it. Our lives and travel needs have changed as our kids have gotten older, and a smaller RV fits the direction we’re heading in.

• Solo trips: With both of us traveling for work, it’s increasingly important to have a towable that’s easy to manage solo. Our 32-foot Imagine is great for family trips, but overkill for a quick weekend or content shoot.

• Couples getaways: With our kids older and sometimes busy with school, jobs, or friends, we’re seeing more opportunities for just-the-two-of-us camping trips. This may be wishful thinking, but we’ll keep you posted.

• Smaller family trips: The new setup (including our rooftop tent) lets us bring one or two of the boys along without needing the big rig.

• Camp Griddlemore filming: Jeremy’s Blackstone cooking show needed a rig with an outdoor kitchen and good visuals. The Tab 320 CS-S is perfect for creating content in tight, beautiful spaces.

• More flexibility: We love state park camping and Harvest Hosts locations—places where our larger rig isn’t always ideal.
