Why Did You Choose nuCamp? Real Stories from Our Owners

As we celebrate our 20th anniversary at nuCamp, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what truly makes our company special: you. For two decades, we’ve been honored to build campers that take people on incredible journeys—not just across the map, but through new chapters of life, friendship, and adventure.

To mark this milestone, we asked our community on Facebook: “What made you choose nuCamp?” The responses were heartfelt, honest, and full of the very spirit that has carried us through 20 amazing years.

Unmatched Quality

One theme stood out loud and clear: quality matters. From dovetailed drawer joints to fit and finish that stands the test of time, craftsmanship is a major reason people fall in love with nuCamp RVs.

“First: Quality. It’s one of the BEST built campers on the market. Second: Technical support, customer support, and warranty support are OUTSTANDING.” – Tom Derocher

“I did my research and had one RV salesman tell me that, given the way most campers are built, he’s surprised more of them don’t fall apart driving off the lot. Not so with nuCamp!” – Steven Burlew

“Back in 2016, what sealed the deal was when my husband saw the dovetailed joints in the CS-S drawers!” – Blythe Jones

“We were deciding between campers, and when we were ready to pull the trigger, our first choice was unavailable. What a happy accident! The quality of nuCamp products is unmatched. We have fallen in love with the community as well.” – Jennifer Soto

The Perfect Size and Design

For many, a nuCamp trailer strikes the perfect balance between comfort and towability. Whether you’re traveling solo or with a family, our campers fit a variety of lifestyles.

“I usually travel solo. The weight and size were important to me. I had a 320 Boondock for 4 years, traveling 10,000 miles. Now I have a 360 Boondock.” – Roxie Johnson Crouch

“It was what I could tow without upgrading (my tow vehicle), and nuCamp build quality is hands down the best.” – Ryan Crossan

“We were tent campers for years… I realized that [a teardrop camper] was exactly what we needed.” – Debbie Powell

“The TAG is a giant step up from a tent, but didn’t require me to get a new vehicle for towing!” – Susan Bogart

A Strong, Supportive Community

The sense of belonging within the nuCamp community continues to surprise and delight our owners. For many, it’s the reason they stay—and upgrade.

“As for community, I ended up being alone in life, but in the time since buying my TAB I’ve met, traveled, and caravaned with some of the best friends I’ve ever had. What more can I say?” – Steven Burlew

“Quality, craftsmanship and an entire family of people who share the same interests.” – Mamie Mary Waren Konarski

“A whole new network of friends who are more like family now.” – David Merzbacher

“The best owner community family!” – Wes Humphrey

Inspiration from Others

Some of the most beautiful stories start with a chance encounter, a vision board, or a Pinterest post. Inspiration is everywhere.

“I saw a picture of Jenn Grover’s 320 on Pinterest in 2021… A few months later, Zippy and I were watching YouTube videos, and he picked one out… Last week I picked up a 360, and we both love it!” – Mamie Mary Waren Konarski

“It was on my vision board for a couple of years because of the cuteness factor.” – Deb Davila

“We were camped next to a lady who was in a TAG, and she kindly let me take a tour. I was in love!” – Shelly Jachetta

The Cute Factor

Let’s be honest—our campers are adorable. That initial spark of attraction often turns into lasting love.

“She’s stinkin’ cute!” – Dawn Edwards Fisher

“Quality teadrop! And… super cute!” – Sue Oldani

“I always loved Europe and European travel trailers… I knew it was a great American brand that embraced a European style and quality.” – Mike Boylan

“Every time we stop for gas, meals or pit stops on our travels we are asked about our trailer. We’ve given countless tours and promote the craftsmanship and quality of trailer.” – Margaret Coleman

The Legacy and the Loyalty

Some owners have been part of the nuCamp family since the early days—and their stories show the deep connection that continues year after year.

“I bought my first Pleasant Valley Teardrop Trailer (now dba nuCamp) in 2013… has created a family atmosphere that lives on today.” – Verna Schultz

“I’ve been a TAB owner since 2007… Once Pleasant Valley/nuCamp began producing TABs and started hosting rallies, we (the Dutchmen TAB community), and I were very impressed at the support we received.” – Carol Kelley

Final Thoughts

Whether it was a recommendation from a son, a road trip discovery, or a desire for a clean bathroom off the ground—each story is unique. But they all share a common thread: people don’t just choose nuCamp for what it is—they choose it for how it makes them feel.

To all who shared their stories: thank you. You are the heartbeat of the nuCamp family.
