Re: Alde maybe? Not exactly sure
@jillenej, I feel I would be remise if it didn't mention this...as you are inspecting your glycol hose/convector system for possible leaks also be on the lookout for this...bulges in the rubber hoses at connections to aluminum tubing. It's an indication of corrosion of the aluminum at that connection. When the swelling gets large enough it will cause the hose to split where it meets the clamp and you'll have a slow leak that only gets worse in a short amount of time.
Re: 320 Cassette Part Number and Approximate Cost? - Info from Help@nucamprv.com added 4/26.

. . . A big reason we sold our 2019 320 was the 5 gal. black tank was too limiting
for our dry camping needs...
Confused here. The yr-2019 Black Tank was/is 8-gallons.
Cassette removal-tank is rated at 5-galllons.
So two cassettes if maxed out will be 10-gallons . . . . not much of an increase.
Also, expect real-world cassette won't be filled to maximum of 5-gallons when you decide "we better dump or swap tank"

Re: Air Conditioner Powered by Honda EU2200i Generator while boondocking?
@NorthIsUp I agree. Also some reports that non Honda 2k class generators struggle more (my guess is because the Honda has 50% more displacement 120cc vs 80cc for most if not all competitors) nonetheless even Honda is better with the EasyStart.
Re: Dome Light Upgrade 2021 320s
So grateful for this thread. I ordered the dimmable lights and installed them yesterday in our 320S. What a huge improvement. Being able to have the light in the bathroom not be so bright, especially for those nighttime bathroom breaks is going to be a huge improvement.
Re: Do the 2021 or 2022 Tabs have a built in water pressure regulator
I have a 2022 400 BD and I do have a built in regulator right at the city water inlet.
Re: adding locks on the diamond plate box
I agree with @Binghi I don't lock my storage box either. It obviously holds my propane but also all my plumbing items (sewer hoses, connections, various water hoses and adapters, chocks. lynx levelers, a 5 gallon bucket and other odds and ends. If someone wants to steal that stuff I'd rather just replace it than have to not only replace it but also repair the damage done to get into it by breaking into a locked box. To me a lock says there is something of value inside it. Without a lock they can open it and either steal something or not. But at least no damage to the trailer will be done. So far I've never had anything taken. I keep all my electrical stuff, cords, adapters and EMS and tools inside the trailer in the dinette storage area.
Re: Norcold not cooling
Make sure your 120 volt breaker is on. Also the fridg is plugged into an outlet under the sink. Check to see if there is power to that outlet. Fuses are under the stove top.
Re: 2022 East Meets West-Washington State Gathering
@MissScarletand2Doods
At Lincoln Rock, loop A is zero hookups, loop B is full hookups including sewer, loop C is electric and water only.
That said:
The East Meets West event in 2019 was my very first trip with a Tab as a solo RVer (I did have prior RV experience, but long before and as a couple, had never done any of it by myself). Knowing what I know now? It’s the best possible place to get your feet wet even if you have to take a site with zero or partial hookups, because you’ll be surrounded by other Tab owners who can and will help. So, don’t worry too much about what loop, just grab whatever site you can get your hands on.

Re: Tab 320 Speakers
After researching speakers/upgrades I've decided to not touch the factory speakers and just add a Bluetooth transmitter to the Jensen and get a good Bluetooth speaker. Can use it inside, at the TV, and outside if I choose. More options and much better sound quality.
Re: To Keep or Not To Keep? AGM
I can't imagine combining lithium and AGM batteries on the same circuit. Quite different charging requirements and use characteristics. Sounds like trouble.
As for keeping the AGM's vs replacing them with lithium, it depends on you and where you live. While solar may keep up AGM's in Southwestern states, it would not be much help near Seattle, or camped in the woods of the East. I've have had some frustrating battery experiences traveling with AGM's and solar, in shaded campsites and cloudy weather.
We replaced the standard battery on our new T@b 320s BD with two 100 ah lithiums in the negotiations at purchase.
