Main Camper Assembly
Floor
One solid piece of vinyl flooring covers the Little Guy or Silver Shadow’s wooden floor. The T@B’s floor is an aluminum framed piece
that has shot block foam insulation that is backed by wood. On each, the underside is covered with an all-weather, moisture
resistant material. This, along with proper caulking and installation, will keep your camper free from rot or corrosion.
Sidewalls
The sidewalls on a Little Guy or Silver Shadow are constructed with a multi-layered approach. The exterior is a ¼” sheet of azdel (a
plastic, non-moisture absorbing wood) with laminated fiberglass exterior. This sheet is sandwiched with a 5/8” of Eucalyptus with
carpeting on the wall (Little Guy) or Birch with finished interior wall (Silver Shadow). The sidewalls on a T@B are a 1 ¼” aluminum
framed, shot block foam insulation. The exterior is a laminated fiberglass while the interior is a Berkshire vinyl.
Roof
The external material on the roof of your camper is aluminum. It is .040 uber-durable, painted aluminum, as are the hatch doors.
Extrusions
All of the aluminum extrusions on the camper are powder coated to resist weathering. This paint process creates a protective film to
ensure aesthetic and functional permanence.
Seals
All models contain varying sizes and shapes of both rubber and foam seals. These seals should be inspected regularly for tears, rips,
or deterioration. If seals need replaced, please contact our parts and warranty department.
Insulation
All of our campers are insulated to a high degree. The T@B trailers are fully insulated (roof, walls, door and floor). The entire trailer
is shot-block foam except for the roof, which is cut insulation. The Little Guy and Silver Shadow Trailers are likewise insulated with
cut insulation from the front of the trailer throughout the roof to the back hatch door. The side doors and hatch doors are insulated
with shot block foam. The sidewalls and floor of the camper are not insulated, but do have an R-Value. In all, the R-Value of the
insulation components that are employed is R-12. You should be able to comfortably camp without any type of heating device into
the 40’s. The compact nature of your camper allows for body heat to be the primary source of heat. In a Little Guy or Shadow, you
could employ an electric blanket or small 12v ceramic heater. The T@B offers a furnace as well as an optional heat pump, if you
purchased the Coolcat.
Lights
There are two separate lighting systems in your camper. The 12 volt convenience lights require power from the converter, battery,
or the battery of the towing vehicle. If your trailer does not have 12 volt power, 2 AAA battery operated lights will be installed in the
cabin and 1 in the galley. The trailer signal lights receive power from the towing vehicle’s brakes, turn signals, running lights, and
reverse lights. You should test the trailer and towing vehicle lighting systems before every outing.
Fan-tastic Vent
Each model with 12 volt features a fan to evacuate the hot air that collects inside the roof peak. Best results can be achieved by
closing all other roof vents and opening a window on the shaded side of the camper. The roof vent must be open approximately 3”
before the motor will operate. Always lower and lock the vent in the down position before travel.
Standard Electrical Features
Converter
**Follow all safety and specific operating instructions supplied by Converter manufacturer. **
The converter changes standard household electrical power into 12 volt dc, the type of electrical power necessary for the operation
of RV appliances and recharging RV batteries. There are three modes of operation that the converter automatically senses and then
self-adjusts.
When connected to shore power, the converter will charge and supply power to appliances.
When connected to your vehicle, it supplies a slight trickle charge to maintain battery charge during storage.
