Re: Maxxair MaxxFan Upgrade
@Gherzig The framing of both fans is the same, using the same cutout through the trailer roof. The 4-5” extension you see behind the fan frame (left side of image) is part of the MaxxFan’s built in weatherproof cover, which it allows it to be open during rain, but collapses down as shown when the vent is closed. This makes it far more compact than the traditional fan + tall vent cover.
Re: Leveling question...
I don't know why you bottomed out leaving a gas station, but in my experience that kind of bump can happen if there's no curb cut. Or maybe your hitch height is too low?Jake_Elwood_and_us said:When I turned 19 I slept on the continental divide in the Wind River range in Wyoming. It was probable uncomfortable but I didn't care. Now many years later I want a level trailer so I can sleep. This isn't a post about what brand of level to use, that's easy. I bought a 400 Boondock so I could have creature comforts while still pretending to be roughing it. My first indication that I might have too high of expectations from the T@B was leaving a gas station and bottoming out the hitch in the gutter. The next was trying to level the trailer at a boondock camping spot. There was no way. The way I figure it, one only has about a level to a little less than 5 degree give before it is too steep to adjust front to back. Anymore with the slope going downhill behind the TV and the tongue can't go low enough. I didn't buy a boondock to stay at a KOA, even if they would have me. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
If it's a steep downslope towards the back of the trailer, how about running the tires up on blocks to reduce the height difference between the back and front of the trailer? I would back down the hill, then arrange a bunch of lego-style leveling blocks in front of the tires and pull forward onto them. If one side is lower (side-to-side) you should also take that into account when building your block stacks.
This isn't the greatest picture, but you can see that I have leveling blocks under the tires on both sides (because of the downslope).
Re: 3 Way Refrigerator Testing and Performance
@TabbyShack just to confirm. You physically move the tstat up or down on the fin to adjust the temp? or is there a dial or lever on the tstat that is adjusted?
Maxxair MaxxFan Upgrade
Just replaced my previous Fantastic fan with a new MAXXAIR 7500k MaxxFann. We haven’t had time to fully test it out but with my brief experience with it I can say it is a definite upgrade. This is the fan that should be installed as factory equipment. It is considerably quieter across the board. Love the fact that at startup it defaults to 50%. And the sleek look just fits our Tab 320s
Re: Rusty Stainless Steel Sink
Have you used steel wool are any similar pot scrubber around your sink? The rust spots look like a reaction with some sort of particle or contaminate. I keep our TaB sink wiped out with a damp towel, and have not had any issues here on the coast, where anything metal will rust.

Re: Air8 Blue screen won’t even light up 😆
And @KimmieGuy - just an FYI. The Alde also has a plug, so you may want to secure it with some kind of zip tie to prevent it from becoming dislodged. That is always a good place to start with any Alde issues.
Re: Anybody Drink From Fresh Water Tank?
That is exactly what I do as well. I can't count the number of places I've stayed where the fresh water spigot is waaay to close to the sewer hookup.Sharon_is_SAM said:
One other thing owners should consider is to wipe down with bleach any campsite or community spigot that you hook up to or retrieve water from. You never know who has gone before you or what they hooked up to the spigot.
Re: A really basic electric question.
A} I like the comments from @Grumpy_G
B} If my rig, would not run-off to purchase Lithium Batteries but would consider going to a
larger AHr AGM battery.
C} I'd also look at adding a portable solar panel to increase your solar input . .
D} Also, consider turning Fridge off after midnight and save a few cooling cycles and AHrs

Of course all the above is 100% WAG - - - with zero data to support it.
Re: Garage Storage Solved!
We did the same, built 2nd garage in backyard of 1st house with 8 ft doors, then when we moved, 3 car garage with 8 ft door on 3rd bay.
Re: Anybody Drink From Fresh Water Tank?
Nope. Not taking any chance. It won’t take much to spoil your camping trip, no matter how much you sanitize it.
