Re: Just picked up a new 320 S Boondock can't unhitch the coupler ? I tow with a Jeep Gladiator, Ideas?
Also agree....flip the hitch back over the other way. You don't need rise with a jeep. Normally you need a drop hitch.

You probably do not want a raise hitch on the Gladiator for a TaB320. I use a straight receiver tube for the TaB400 Boondock on my Gladiator. The trailer need to be level when it is being towed.

FWIW, this doesn't sound right. My experience parallels that of @TabbyShack --the system should pressurize within a few minutes. I wonder if you have had some sort of an issue all along but it has just gotten worse.MuttonChops said:
...It the past it has required up to 2+ hours to fully pressurize.
And since I was busy with other tasks I just like it run.

Re: Just picked up a new 320 S Boondock can't unhitch the coupler ? I tow with a Jeep Gladiator, Ideas?
If you backed into a spot, try pulling forward even just a few inches before trying to uncouple. This can relieve some of the pressure on the hitch, allowing the coupler to open.
Re: Permanent Side to Side Sleeping for T@B 320 S
Nice job on the mods. No daily set up/take down is a plus. Would be good for solo. We couldn't do it though. We spent a couple of our camping years climbing over each other in a camper van to get in and out of bed and swore we'd never do it again. We're taller so we sleep front to back. One big bed with both of us and our dog or a single twin when I'm using it solo. Gives us more room for our toes.
Re: Battery Box for 200ah
Nice solution @Marceline, but you may want to add a grommet to the wires where they exit the box to prevent any chafing of the wire insulation.

@MuttonChops, super helpful and insightful. THANK YOU!
. . . This forum is wonderful and I'm glad to be part of a new forum-family.
I'm glad my reply was helpful and Yes this is an amazing forum & T@B Trailer resource.
Side Note:
While all the other comments on fluids and changing fluid are helpful and correct . . .
I would encourage you to start by doing the minimum needed to ensure correct initial
operation of the Alde (and other trailer systems for that matter) by adding some fluid.
The age old " Keep It Simple " approach!
Once you understand how all your new trailer systems operate & we all hope they will
operate correctly . . . than you can think about maintenance items to improve operation
or extend the systems useful life.
Using the trailer {doing some camping} early/before starting bigger maintenance projects
will educate you and identify any possible items needing attention. Just stay close to your
home base for those initial adventures . . . that makes any Oh No situation far less stressful.

Re: Alde maybe? Not exactly sure
Yes, our 2014 has the A/C window unit and the Alde heating system. We will be adding the Glycol to the Alde system and running the system to check all the lines and make sure it's all working.
Re: Bed Lights w/ 12v USB
Most likely the 12 volt powered USBs are drawing battery power all the time. That's a no for those of us that don't use shore power. I put all mine on a switch. Way too many things in a T@B that are always on.
Re: Battery Replacement 24 vs 27 AGM
@ReenieG, most group 27 batteries will fit in your tub with a battery box. You may have to slightly angle or change the box position, but it is possible. I have a 2017 with the plastic front tub and I have a group 31 battery in the tub. Due to it's larger size (than a 24 or 27) it is angled in the tub and does not have a battery box. We had to place a piece of plywood in the tub bottom (anchored) to secure the battery onto. We used a plastic battery box lid on top and strapped it down, so that too is doable. 2 6V gc (golf cart) batteries can be arranged to fit also without too much refitting. You have options.
If you change to a group 27 battery, you will need a battery box to fit a group 27.
