Re: TV charging for T@B 320 12v battery

Not every vehicle is capable of charging the trailer battery. Some do, some don't, some do a little, some a lot. There is no one single answer.

We need to know: what trailer? What year? What size battery? What fridge?

And: what other device do you have to monitor your battery? Any device that measures voltage will always (always always always) produce false readings if: the battery is being charged. Or the battery is "in use".

The only way to get a relatively accurate reading of voltage is with the battery switch off. Which rules out the battery monitor in the trailer.

Your battery voltage may be better than you think. Have a multimeter?

Re: homemade awning is our favorite awning

Love your inexpensive solution. I added keder rail insert to a King Camp canopy and slide it where needed as the sun moves. When you’re on a journey, I see you can probably do the same with the adjustable poles.

Re: shore power extension cord?

We have a regular household current outlet on the outside of our garage to plug in our 2018 T@B 400. I have a 30amp cord, plus a 30amp extension cord if I need it. I plug the surge protector into my outlet, an adapter, then the 30amp cord into that. If I needed a longer run, I'd use the 30 amp extension cord, not a regular extension cord that you'd use to power yard tools at home. We've never had trouble with this.

Re: Danby AC not working 2018 T@B

Are you sure that there's even power to the Danby? The ventilation fan is a completely separate unit. Even if the compressor in the A/C isn't kicking on, if there's power I'd think that it would at least be blowing air.

@PNWtabber someday soon this event will lend itself to a great campfire story. Tuck all learned and experienced info under your cap for just such an occasion. Happy t@bbing.

No worries. You learned something. All is good.

Re: Who really makes this teardrop

I do like the outside grill/camp style cook area in addition to a full galley inside. This gives the best of both options, without duplicating the inside galley, or just moving it outside. You can do coffee in the morning inside, and cook up,the day’s catch outside on the grill, keeping the inside free of cooking odors.

Re: Danby AC not working 2018 T@B

Probably. Have you checked the light on your T@B's electrical cable plug that is plugged into the the outside of your trailer? Is it glowing? If you're plugged into a 15 amp house outlet, you may have tripped the circuit breaker inside your house or on the house outlet itself where the trailer power cable is plugged in. Are any other AC outlets working on the trailer?

Re: Frankly its unbelievable that NuCamp builds a quality camper but just doesn't make it work better...

I agree, a good walk through is just an overview of the trailer and can be overwhelming to a newbie. I didn’t find the Alde difficult to lean how to use, inch simpler than the current Nautilus setup. The Alde does have a leaning curve, but it is just a modern version of an old radiator system, I grew up using as a youth. Instead of heating water to make steam, it heats the glycol (like an automotive cooling system in reverse), to transfer heat to the radiators to heat the air around them. Not exactly brain surgery, and the control panel is well laid out. A quick read of the manual, will answer ost questions.

Re: Danby AC not working 2018 T@B

To add on to what BrianZ said, if no other AC outlets are working in the trailer, then the GFCI could have popped (just like in your home). The outlet right next to the converter has the red button you can push to reset.
