@PNWtabber - NO worries!!! Sites ALWAYS open up. Just keep checking back periodically. Hope we get to see you!
Re: Power to Outlets While Boondocking
@tonygebely I agree with MuttonChops, you do not need, and should not use a fused distribution box. The one MuttonChops shows is similar to,what the new TaBs are equipped with. You could also use a straight Marine type 50/60 amp dual buss bar (no fuses), and save some $.
The rest of diagram looks good. You will need an inline 40-amp fuse on the solar controller, between the battery and controller. Also the inverter comes with or will need special fuses between inverter and battery distribution box connection, as shown below on a 2019 TaB setup:

Re: Renogy 2000W Inverter Install in T@B 320S
Inverter claims to have overload protection built-in, so I'd say no breaker is needed.
Re: Low batter - high pitched sound
What year and model is your trailer? What device do you have to monitor your battery? There are several items that might "alarm" when the battery gets low: the inverter in a 400, the gas alarm in all the trailers, etc.
So: what model, what year?
What are you using to monitor your battery?
Re: Is an all electric TaB trailer viable
Although we don't see a 400 in our future, we have the same thoughts as you. Some of the downside of a 320 can't be modded away. Even so, the bigger footprint that comes with a larger trailer is not worth the advantages to us. Selfishly hoping that you stick with what you have. Always enjoy reading what you add to the 320 conversations here on the forum.CharlieRN said:Ironically, we are seriously considering moving to the 400. ... It would also be nice to be able to leave the bed in place and still have a place to sit, relax and eat, as well as having a less claustrophobic toilet/shower area.
Re: Fan was running and then stopped
J&A, super appreciate the offer for parts. Given all the conversation and results of putting in an upgrade, I think I am going in that direction. Michael
Re: Videos on how to use the Yakima Rail on T@B320 Boondocks
Just to be clear, in the picture above, the rails are the low profile black strips that run parallel to the red trim. The mounts are the right-angled pieces that attach to the rails and crossbars, then you have the crossbars and basket. Are you really talking about moving or removing the rails? They're screwed into structural members in the T@B's roof. You could do it, but it would leave holes.
If you just want to remove the rack itself, to make a cover fit better, and you have the key to the locks (I don't, I wish I did!) then you should be able to unlock the mounts, open the cover, and see two places to fit an allen wrench. One of them loosens the crossbar strap, one loosens the mount itself. I'm not familiar with these particular Yakima mounts, but I've had multiple Yakima products on my car, that's how the current mounts work. So assuming these are similar, if you have the lock key and the proper size allen wrench, you should be able to take the whole rack off. Not something I'd want to do frequently, but for winter storage, probably not a terrible job.

Re: Did I kill my battery?
PNWTabber has a 2018 Boondock, so the tub is aluminumMickerly said:The 2018 should have a plastic tub without a back, unless someone upgraded.
