Re: Switching to New Rhomar Glycol
Bayliss, the change from Truma/Alde is a manufacturer’s notice of a change in their product, not a recall as the result of an issue with the previous glycol. Here is the notice Alde sent to nüCamp:
“SUBJECT: GLYCOL CHANGEPleasant Valley Teardrop Trailers/nuCamp has been notified by Truma/Alde that they will be switching to a different brand of glycol (Rhomar Water RG-RTU-50). This change is a requirement from Truma/Alde for new units to be eligible for warranty. Due to this requirement,all nuCamp production units manufactured on or after 1/4/2021 will contain the Rhomar water glycol.”
They also noted you can not mix the the new Rhomar glycol with the glycol previously used. A tech notice was sent to Airstream for the procedure to change out previously manufactured aA.de units to use the new fluid. Airstream decided to provide this service to their customers who purchased their top end Airstream Classic trailer (a $164,000 unit), and is the only Airstream that has the Alde unit.
Cheers

Re: Upgrade/Repair for the 360 folding seatback
UPDATE: I replaced the board, and added large metal plates below to act as one big washer. Three bolts on each hinge. The result is very sturdy indeed. Also decided to split the cover boards so that the battery compartment can be easily accessed without dealing with the seat moumt. This requires the addition of ledger boards on the support wall between the AC and battery compartments, but it's not difficult. Re: Happy Holidays!
My wife likes to sip her whiskey. For Christmas this year, I got her two rocks glasses with our new pup's (Jasper) picture etched on the side from an Etsy seller. Something like this with a custom picture of someones T@B might be that unique gift you're looking for.

Re: TAB360 == Share Interior Dimensions ? ?
Here ya go, approximate of course:
1. 26"
2. 32.5"
3. 17"
4. 32"
5. 43.75"
6. 23.5"
7. 22"
A. I think that represents the bathroom heater, which is about 1.75" deep and mounted along that wall, and perhaps the TP holder.
B. I believe that is showing the TV on its swing arm. It is over a storage area. I removed the TV and installed some shelving in this location.

Re: Battery Trials and Tribulations
Agreed. Your formulas are correct and are burned in my brain too. The discussion does highlight that amp-hours should be given at a specific voltage. The 6V battery has 235 aH, at 6V. Putting two in series gives you 235 aH, at 12V. Putting two in parallel gives you 470 aH, at 6V.
Maybe a better way is to use watt hours, like our energy bills are measured. That would include the voltage and be a measure of power available over time...

Don’t Go Camping Without This Simple Item
As I was sitting around the campfire with my wife I started thinking how much I was using this item around the campsite. I thought I’d make this video to show all the great benefits from this ordinary item.

Re: Battery Trials and Tribulations
Two 6v 225ah batteries wired in series would be 225ah NOT 450ah.Mellow_Yellow said:I have gone from 89 amp hours to 450 amp hours. Woo hoo! I’m doing some driveway testing running the Alde on propane now. With my low-passive drain setup, I should have about 4 days of power. I’m using this battery monitor, which is 6V and AGM compatible: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0CXP8RRNR?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Premium membrane for older RV lock from RV Lock
EDIT: it's been mailed! Woo hoo.
Does anyone have an older RVlock dot com keypad? We got our camper in 2019 and invested in the RVlock. The membrane that covers the keypad has really cracked and broken and so we ordered their new $20 product which replaces the old keypad you just have to take the lock off the door and install it. They have a video and there are others on YouTube. I have an extra new keypad and am hoping to share it with someone for free. If you bought one recently you have the rubberized keypad. The one on the older locks just feels like a thin piece of plastic.
Let me know if you'd like it and I can pop it in the mail.
from their website:
The RVLock Durō™ Keypad is a premium durable keypad membrane upgrade for existing RVLock products. The Durō Keypad is designed to withstand better the extreme weather conditions RV doors face as compared to older vinyl membranes.
