Re: Help! 2009 t@b clear coat destroyed
We used 320 wet and dry sandpaper, vacuumed it all, rinsed with water, degreased with simple green then wiped with a alcohol water solution. Final wipe down with a tack cloth before using an Apollo 3 stage HVLP sprayer. We used Dupli-color paint shop solvent based gray primer. Purchased from Autozone. Used all 3 quarts. We mixed the primer with a reducer about 30% reducer 70% primer, sprayed until I got even coverage. My guess is at least 5 coats? We are going to be testing a Rustolium solvent based metallic gray in the next couple days to see if it is a close match to the sides. We also might use a GM factory metallic paint color. Still in the testing and searching mode. Will sand the primer and repeat the cleaning process before we paint. We are also still trying to figure out the clear coat as well. It has been challenging but also very rewarding! Very happy with how the primer came out. We also sanded and painted the trim with Rustolium Thunder Cloud rattle cans. I sprayed the trim with the HVLP gun using Dupli-Color clear. Not too happy with this clear. Will most likely re do the clear on the trim when we hopefully find a better brand. I will also be repairing the broken and cracked trim pieces using a plastic welder. There is a lot to do. But looking forward to finishing and getting back to camping! Hope this answered your questions? If you have any other questions or input, please don't hesitate to reach out! I will update again after the next step!
Cheers

You can replace the entire assembly with a 2-1/4 - It just bolts into place
Re: Size of mattress topper?
@ HR_Taly Thank you very much for the time you took in replying to this and providing this explanation! I have a 2017 Outback. So it does have the wooden slabs. Good to know on the different kinds of sleeping arrangements one can configure in the RV. I will take your advice then and just take some blankets and see how it goes. Good to know on the specific dimensions as well if I wanted any custom made topper.HR_Taly said:@DancingOtter your T@B (if it is not the clamshell version) is set up so that you can make the bed into a 70"x73" area, which is larger than a Queen but not quite a King. To make the large bed, you may have the bed slat version - so slats are included in your T@B and they will be placed in the area between the benches. The cushions drop down to make the large sleeping area. If yours was manufactured before bed slats (I think they made the change sometime in 2017), your large table will drop down to cover the space and the cushions will go on top of that. You can likely find some YouTube clips of this, too.
Most important though - if you haven't slept in your T@B yet, I'd advise you not to buy anything yet, but take either some bedding (blankets etc) or sleeping bags and see what you think on your first trip (or test it out in your driveway one night). The cushions are relatively comfortable on their own, and you may not want to buy anything extra.
If you search the forums, you'll find a lot of different ways people have done up the sleeping area to suit their particular style. A lot of solo travelers (like me) like to keep the back bench in the down position as a permanent twin bed, leaving the two seating areas to the side available all the time. However, a lot of other travelers just make the entire area into a bed each night like it was designed to do and have a luxurious large bed! And some couples form two narrow twin beds running separately along the sides. And many permutations and modifications in between! Like just about every mod mentioned here in the forum, I'd wait investing money into it and go try it out as normal a few times first to see what suits you best.
Re: Summer Heat/Humidity Strategies - Cover/Fan/AC/Dehumidifier
So if I just plug in the camper, is there a way to just turn off the fridge-- without pulling a fuse, etc.? Is there anything else that I wouldn't want connected to power all the time- for wear and tear purposes (and power consumption)?
Re: using a generator for air conditioning?
Technology and cost has a ways to go yet before solar+L-Ion batteries will be cost-effective. I have also yet to see a portable power lithium battery company like Battleborn or GoalZero make any kind of statement or pledge about responsible cobalt sourcing for their batteries. Half of the world’s cobalt supply comes from DRC, a war-torn country which has a terrible track record of forced child labor and poor health and safety standards in the mines. Other companies, like Tesla, Apple, GM, etc., have made responsible sourcing pledges, but I haven’t seen any kind of statement or pledge from Battleborn or GoalZero on this.

Re: 2021 Tab 320 Boondock - 8' garage opening
FWIW, I was able to push my 2021 320S Boondock into my standard garage with no modifications (stock boondock tires, full pressure). I couldn't do it while hooked up to the truck. I unhooked, lowered the tongue as low as it would go with the wheel still on and hand-pushed it in. I had about 1/2" or so to spare. I did not have to air down at all, which is good because there's the likelihood that I'd forget to air back up!
The trailer has stock battery and propane on the tongue but all the tanks are dry and there's no gear in the trailer. The highest part of the trailer (that new plastic molding along either side) taped in at 95.5". The new molding appears to be just slightly higher than the Fantastic Fan vent. Any modification to the stock vent and it would not fit.

Re: Replacing AGM with lithium in 2021 tab320 BD
Hi, I’m not home til later today. I’ll send the diagram then. The changes are not intrusive at all. I’ll describe it better when I send the drawing but it’s really just involves cutting the 10 AWG battery wire from behind the WFCO that goes from the inside to the outside and to the front tub. The one cut end (behind the WFCO) that comes from the WFCO would go to a new ON/Off switch and then to the battery. The new neg. can be tied into the neg. bus bar by the WFCO. There is no wire fishing as no matter where you put your batteries, everything is easily accessible via the inside.
You still have to get power to the electric e brakes. also did a slight modification to put power to the e brakes independent of battery switch so in the unlikely event the battery switch is off, the e brakes always have power. If it’s still fuzzy, it will be clear when I send the diagram.

Re: Faster 12V USB Charging than original USB ?
12V ports with the cigarette lighter adapters are the easiest work around.
I took out my USB ports. I upgraded the "reading lamps" in the cabin, and they have a USB port that is capable of "fast charging", at least on my phone. Look over this thread.
