Re: axel alignment
There’s not really a way to align these axles. Typically when wear is uneven like that you’d need to look into an issue with the hubs, inflation (not likely) or a defective axle. There have been issues with Dexter torsion axles being defective and causing wear usually to the inner part of the tire. Outer wear I’m not so sure of.
380 Watt Solar Panels and Lithium Upgrade on T@B 360
I am preparing for my first spring outing with my Black Canyon T@B 360. The solar system remains a bit of a mystery to me. Sitting in my driveway here in Maryland the solar panels aren't keeping the system topped up to 100%. The only way to stay charged is the shore power. My previous T@320 with 200 watts solar and 300ah of AGM batteries was easily kept charged in winter without shore power. I had that for five years. My new camper is sitting on the north side of my house so it doesn't have direct sun, but it does have full exposure to the sky. This should bring in more than the 15-88 watts that the system says it is providing.
The dealer has told me that because the lithium system needs to run the battery heater, the solar panels can't keep it charged. To me, this means that the lithium upgrade makes the T@B 360 less effective as a camper for the cooler shoulder season because the solar system can't keep up with the battery heater.
What am I missing? Is there something wrong. I do have experience with solar panels and with T@Bs, so I don't think I am crazy, BUT I haven't worked with lithium.

Re: new style printed shower lock for T@B400
We bought a Black one. Very nice printing work. Installed on our shower does a great job and looks good too.

Didn’t see that coming!

My interaction with Scott was stellar. I wish him the best of luck in his new adventure
Re: Scott Hubble stepping down as NuCamp CEO at the end of August.
Do they have a succession plan in place? Who is going to lead? Is there an ownership change coming?
Re: Scott Hubble stepping down as NuCamp CEO at the end of August.
From their press release:
Jesse Mullet, President of nuCamp RV, will be stepping into the role of CEO. Jesse is the son of Joe Mullet, the Founder of nuCamp RV, and has worked side-by-side with Scott and his father on nuCamp’s cultural foundations, products, and growth. Jesse is also an avid cyclist having rode his bicycle across the country to raise money for a local adoption support agency.

Good to see that there is a thoughtful transition.
Re: Evaluating used trailer mechanicals - hooking up required?
Based on my sample size of three (one dealer, two private party) I'd say it's common to have the trailer hooked up to power and having some water in the tank. Obviously in the winter a trailer may be winterized so you might want to wait until spring.
