Re: New owner questions on plywood edge finishing and wet bath caulking

That does not look like a properly finished cut nor does it appear to be top quality Baltic Birch plywood. Clearly different from the photo of my 2021. Disappointing quality control and disappointing dealer shrugging it off with that's how they make them.
Perhaps NuCamp is unable to get the Baltic Birch and is substituting a cheaper plywood.
I would ask to have it fixed as it does not represent the cabinet craftsmanship that is so proudly advertised.

Re: Our First 400 BD Experience

Correct Brad, but that can also change, depending on the time of day and temp outside. I noticed the temp above the front window in our TaB400 will be reading higher midday with a bigger temp difference than in the early morning or late evening. Unless you have a circulation fan going, the temp between the floor, middle and at the roof will be much different, especially midday.

I set the temp difference between my inside thermometer and the Alde control panel in early morning after the Alde was running all night. This way the difference was only the location, without external variables like the sun heating up the outside of the TaB.

Re: Campsite Reservations

@CharlieRN ; I'm with many others in the make reservations when possible group.

As for your non-scientific survey about many reserved sites being vacant, I've seen a few but not really that many. Have seen several 'vacant spots' filled well past dark and the RV pulling out again at sunrise
. . . not my idea of RV traveling.

Re: Solar Panel Charging Capability

VictoriaP said:

Solar production in the northern half of the US differs quite a bit from the southern half, especially at this time of year.

Maybe not all that relevant to @canyoneer, but this is our first time T@Bing in the southwest. Dispersed camping here in AZ, topping off our 250ah of AGM with 200W of solar is not the problem it can sometimes be in the northeast. That’s with running the (12V) fridge, fan, lights and watching a movie before hitting the sack. We won’t miss the wind as we travel north, but not having to worry about power is a big plus.

Re: Campsite Reservations

I miss the days where you drove in, found an empty site on the water, set up, and then went back and told them what site you're on. Those days are long gone in campgrounds in the Northeast. Now it's a race to get a site booked on-line six months in advance at 6:00 in the morning the day it becomes available.

Re: Campsite Reservations

Advance. Driving and wondering if we'll find a campsite just isn't a negative thought process I want as I travel.

Re: Grease seal purchase and spindle nut size?

@khenke unless your trailer is many years old or you have a known bad (leaking) seal consider using the Dexter Axle grease fitting for your annual / 12,000 mile grease change.

That is what Dexter designed them for. These are not 'bearing buddies' of years past, they are a well designed grease distribution system for both the inside and outside bearings.
