T@B 400: A Full-timer's Tour of Living in Little Bear! 

Thank you Mandy Lea for your inspiration. I have finally made my decision to buy a Tab 400 like yours. Keep up the great work. 😊

I love Mandy's presetation: very detailed, based of experience, includes something from her personal life, and always so easy to follow. Many thanks indeed.

This looks a little more spacious in comparison to the other tabs. I love they way they set this one up with the kitchen across from the bathroom. And I like the bedroom setup. Tour videos always feel a little weird because it’s just people simply talking and pointing lol but that’s what we all want! :)) you guys seem kind and humble which is another reason people connect with this video. I also thought your curtain idea was neat. We have a collection of magnets we hang up, but when you don’t have much metal, a curtain and pins is another neat idea!

I've decided in the last few months that I want/need a teardrop. After doing LOTS of research and many hrs. of watching RU-vid videos, have pretty much decided a Tab 400 is perfect. Just have to start saving money now! 😉 Loved seeing how you utilize your space and the little things you've added...very clever and useful! Thanks and happy travels to you both.

Viva needs to have you as a sponsor girl! I've been watching your videos so much during the pandemic and now I use them!

Great tour video of “Little Bear” and thanks for your pro-tip on the Viva Signature cloth paper towels! We love 💕 them.

If Kendrick won’t deal with the black tank, get a composting toilet, or a laveo. As a fellow fulltimer, I don’t know if I would ever go without my own bathroom again. Great tour!

It's well organized. It's very important for mental health on the road to keep your relaxing space uncluttered.

Nice tour of your trailer and truck, you guys are very organized! :-)

Love it, love it! I’m going to Walmart tomorrow and will be getting some items. Great ideas. Thank you 👍

That awning is perfectly matched to the contour of the roof, and with side extensions would be even better for winter. It's wonderful to see the beautiful locations you find to boondock and explore and work in. You perfectly represent the great boondocking capabilities of 'Little Bear' and how with good management you are able to stay out for weeks at a time. Your boondocking travel cabin (land yacht) looks very well set up for a liveaboard couple and were I to decide to live this way I too would choose the high quality, well designed, spec'd and built Tab Boondock model. Your videos of off road travelling with your 320 really impressed upon me just how capable, reliable and well constructed these Outback/Boondock models really are. It's so refreshing to see these excellent little travel cabins being used in their natural habitat by people whom really understand the lure of living with nature and work very hard in order to do so. Thank you for your beautiful videography and stunning photography, you're both really quite inspirational.

Enjoyed watching you two! Some great storage ideas in Little Bear and Blanca! Happy camping!

Published on my bday, how fun. What’s cool about being minimalist but living in a small space, is that it still feels cozy. To make a larger home feel cozy and decorated similarly you need sooo much unnecessary crapola. Well done, glad to see you out there enjoying life. Pass the Pappy 20yr ;-)

I love to decorate so my favorite videos from you are the mods and seeing your decorations. I just got the 320 S boondock and so I don’t have as much storage space and places to decorate, but I have lots of ideas to make it a little home. Adding that I love your dish towel hanging solution, and I bought your book at PC, it now lives in Jupiter (T@Bs name)

Great set up. Love to see how others are managing. Thanks for sharing.

Most people who post about their campers do not go into detail about what goes where. I often wondered where one would store their clothes, food and kitchen wares. Everyone talks about how much storage their camper has. But for me, watching a video, I just didn’t see it and had my doubts. This video really helped, thank you.

Thanks for that Peek into your home! Looks very comfortable and lived in.

We have two rules we live by in my house: 1. Once a rifle, ALWAYS a rifle. 2. Once a gas can, ALWAYS a gas can... or a used oil can... or used antifreeze drain can... etc. Well, you get the idea. Dudette!!!, you make some of the best (especially the most useful) RV videos on RU-vid. You make everybody's RV experience better. Keep up the good work.

Love using the curtain for your pins! Can easily see them but neat and organized. 😊❤️

I've watched your video 3 times + I've read all the replies + I left a couple of comments to several of the replies, all B4 the following: 1. I especially enjoyed seeing Kendrick getting equal time in front of the camera. 2. Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe your awning warranty is VOID if the awning is damaged by WIND. 3. I liked seeing the Boondock tongue modifications which include 2 propane tanks & the swaybar. I agree airbags for the rear axle of the Tacoma will be a huge improvement in dealing with crosswind handling & weight distribution. 4. I've never seen or heard of the AcuRite thermometer you have which is so functional it's a shame it isn't a standard piece of equipment in every nüCamp product. 5. I liked the 3 towel racks that don't stick out. 6. I've seen numerous complaints about the Tacoma seat being uncomfortable, seen numerous fixes, watched numerous youtube videos showing how others have modified Tacoma seats to make them "comfortable". Will you be modifying the seats in your Tacoma? 7. Congratulation on modifying the bathroom space for storage. Bathrooms in most RV's are used for storing "stuff" instead of being "used". 8. Your Yamaha 2000 generator runs 40% longer on a gallon of gas than any other generator in its class. Congrats on picking/using the most economical generator in terms of gas usage. 9. You said absolutely NOTHING about your solar panel & whether you like it or even if it's putting out the voltage to keep your batteries topped off. Now, I'm stepping down off my soapbox.

Yes!! This is so awesome! I love the tour of the T@B 400. It was really cool to see how you both live in it. Hopefully there will be more videos about teardrop living.

Hello. I just stumbled across your videos, and I love them. I will never be one to do what you are doing, but I certainly admire your lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your home in this public way.

I love that brake controller! Nice tour, amazing space use. You two consistently inspire me.

Thanks for sharing your setup of Little Bear & Blanca! Very nice!

Love your new little bear.

Hi, Love the TAB and Toyota what a great combination with all the details like wifi brake controller (did not know of that:) , remember the places you visit are nice but the most IMPORTANT thing is the BOTH of you as a TEAM!

Lot’s of information. Probably one of the best “tips and tricks” vid I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome set up, it looks like a home!! Love ❤️ the touches in it!

I'm researching small trailers. Both your channel here as well as your website have been most helpful. Keep up the good work!

Yay!!!👏👏👏loved the tour. I look forward to your videos and adventures

I love the ACU RITE! Actually, the whole trailer and all the things you have done to it are amazing

Nicely done toughly enjoyed your video looking forward to your adventures full-timing Stay safe, Be careful and Keep on rolling .

Thanks for your work putting this together. I hope you are still having safe and happy travels.

Great combo! Great tour. Thanks!

Great setup!

Thanks for the tour! 😃

A very informative and well-produced video. Thanks.

Love it. You two look like you are having so much fun

Great video we love it. Fabian didn’t understand Blanca 😂🤣 and he’s Spanish, but now he gets it. And go for the composting toilet.

Great video Mandy and Kendrick. Lot of food improvements to make it y'all's own. Love you storage in the truck bed. Have a great day 😊

OMG, Mandy Lea! I was one of your earliest viewers and saw your first video on the first 3k views... You probably can find comments from me on your first videos. Kept coming back but haven't being here in a while. I was buying my Tab 400 at that time (European version as I live in Belgium) and you were just changing for a Tab 320. And you were single. Wow! So many changes! Nice to see you doing so well and finding love. Will watch some more to get updated. Lots of love

Great idea to use drawer pulls like that for the towels 👍

New trailer new truck that’s they way to travel! Love the TP above the exit door 🤔 got to go, got to go🤣.

Awesome tour! Cool to see the inside of the trailer as well as your DECKED in action!

Mandy you always have the best organizational tips for teardrop! Kendrick thanks for the tips for the Takoma. I'm so jealous I can hardly stand it!! Y'all have an extra good time for me! Thanks & Blessings ~Sidney

Great trailer. Great tow vehicle. Great combo. Great couple. Fantastic video!!! ;)

Beautiful home that you both have! Thanks for sharing.😃

Great tour

Sooo cool..like yalls set up. U look very happy....stay safe stay blessed and mostly stay loved

Thanks for this video!

Nice to see that you are doing well and good equipment upgrades.

Love your home. Blanca and Little Bear seem very homey and comfy. Best Wishes

I love your videos! I’m about to pick up my T@B from Round Rock TX!!! First-time RVer!

Cool little camper! Like that thermometer gadget going to have to look into that. Just came across your channel in the recommends and subbed because I checked out your chan and am excited to watch your Alaska to Mexico vids.

This is awesome. We are "weekend warriors," but I think if we upgrade a bit, we could do some serious traveling. Thank you!

Hey Mandy, if you get a Roku Express+ from walmart you can use the RGB connector from that, which lets you use HDMI arc thus allowing your camper speakers to be used instead

I enjoyed your tour. Thank you, and have fun out there.😊

GREAT JOB

Awesoem RV!!!! Thanks for the tour!

You are so right about needing Netflix to “escape” togetherness every so often. A year living in a 25 foot Ranger Tug boat taught us that!

Loved the tour guys!!! Great little setup!!!

Awesome overview of your home. Thanks for sharing!

Mandy and Kendrick- new to your channel. Great tour and I enjoyed the trip the two of you made from Alaska through Mexico! My husband and I just bought a tear drop camper that is a 15 footer. We have an older 4x4 Tacoma. Not the TRD and wanted to be well within towing capacity. Your set up is fantastic! This must feel so luxurious, with a personal stamp! We are waiting to have a manual electric brake system installed. I am excited to be putting together camping items and accessories with the help of your channel. You have some really helpful tips & tricks from your own experiences and interviews at the shows. Thanks for all the work you both put into this channel and your adventures in photography. ~ Diane

Awesome video! Thank you!

Very clean on the inside.

Thanks for sharing about your internet!

Great video! As always.

Very nice!

The camper of my dreams, nice video

Hi guys. Great set up. Best wishes on your travels.

Hi Mandy! I found these natural sponges that I love that may be a good addition for Little Bear. They are called Twist loofah sponges. They are 100% plant based natural cellulose and loofah. They are hand sewn without glue or dyed. I'm not sponsored or anything, I just like them. Little Bear and Blanca are so well organized, you guys have done a great job. Hope to see you out on the road again soon. We are actually headed to Princess Craft tomorrow to look at bigger trailers for our full time adventure.

Excellent video. Thanks! Wow. This is my dream camper!!!!!

I really like your setup with the camper and truck!

Great ideas! Thank you for sharing!

Only caveat of white Toyota’s, and only white, is that the paint will start peeling somewhere after 9 years. I have a 2014 Highlander and paint started peeling in December of 2023. I took it to the local dealer here in Miami, FL. and luckily, it’s still covered by the warranty. I believe the Warranty is good for 10 or 14 yrs I’m not sure, but. It covered mine. Best of luck!

Very nice camper. I don't know how common the campers are with the trees on the side, but I may have seen you guys a little more than a week ago. I can't remember exactly where I was, but probably on hwy 24 in the Divide/Woodland Park area (in Colorado), when I noticed the camper with the trees on the side. It stood out to me as a really cute camper, but I hadn't noticed from your other videos that that's what you had until I watched this one. :)

Great details, thanks!

Top notch rig" move forward my friends. You got it goin on !

Nicely done you guys I really enjoyed that!!

Very informative and entertaining video ... thanks and continued "happy camping".

Good stuff! Thanks!

You guys are so awesome.

VIVA paper towels...BAM! Why didn’t I think of that? Problem solved! I’ve been looking at using a wireless Curt brake controller on my Pathfinder. Have you ever had any issues with it trying to come unplugged? You finally got a toilet and still dig a hole in the woods? You knuckleheads! Lol! Good episode y’all!

That was so interesting and so much fun to watch. Thanks for taking the time to share all that. Would you mind telling what your gas milage averages when towing with the Tacoma?

"Mimosa Cups." Love it.

Love it all.

very impresive safe travels

I love camping and one day, I hope I will have such a nice little camper like yours. Thanks for sharing

I have been drooling over the TAB 400 for months. My wife thinks I'm a lunatic. I did just want to say that I really like your videos especially on how you set up your TAB. It may be a couple years before we are ready to get one but at least I'll know a lot about them. Also, thank you very much for the discount you gave on another video for kitchen things. I bought a Planetary Design press pot carafe for camping. Looking forward to getting it later this week.

Awesome video 👍

Great tour and love the new Tacoma. Enjoy!

This is a very interesting video...merci...loved the use of the shower/toilette as extra storage :)

Thank you thank you for sharing this tour. All your videos are helping me build my confidence and get on the road May I ask you if you use a surge protector (EMF) type device and what you recommend

Nice job! Love you two!

Love the awning

Looks like you two have many adventures ahead of you. And it looks like you can do so in a very comfortable style. Maybe just a bit jealous still being tied to my 40 hr. a week to keep the condo, wife and kids going. Seriously, ENJOY!

Cool couple

Awesome trailer! The only two things I'd change are a cassette toilet and an induction cooktop over propane.

My wife just watched this and her question is "how the heck did you get those sheets/blankets so tight? Whenever she changes the sheets on the bed in our 2019 400 BDL, it's 30-mins of language that would make a sailor blush.

You two are great. Love your tAB 400. I will getting on soon.
