Re: Pictures of some of my favorite mods

Dale, don’t know if you saw this on FB, Tab Camping Trailers group, but it looks really nice! Your wire shelf mod was his inspiration. (I couldn’t find the original post to add this to.)

Re: lithium battery

Yes, the shorter recharge time makes solar charging even more efficient, and if this was true, not heard this before, and it would be the best setup for boondocking.

While Thetford Cassette Toilets are being used more and more in US/North American market RVs, we lack the standardized cassette dump points here. You can dump them in a standard toilet, a pit toilet, or try to get the cassette discharge pipe into a standard NA RV dump connection, designed for a 3-inch sewer hose connection, all messy and sometimes smelly options. Some have made their own adapters to connect the cassette to a standard 3-inch RV sewer hose connected to the RV dump port.

There may be a commercial product to connect the cassette to a standard 3-inch RV sewer port. James at FitRV has come up with a one piece adapter to make the connection from the cassette to the 3-inch sewer hose, he calls the Americanizer, see his site: s://www.thefitrv.com/Americanizer

He also posted a video showing his adapter in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHRiCzLV2fk

Re: Alde 3020 - heat only from bed vents

You are welcome Greg. The TaB400 heating element areas are easy to see in the dinette and washroom, the galley area is a little more obscure, as is the one in the back under the main bunk. Here is a shot taken during assembling a TaB400 showing the back of the galley area and the Alda heating unit:

You can see the Alde heating element sticking up from the middle on the right side, between the fridge and sink area. Air is drawn in from under the center part of the galley, up the back past the heating element and comes out between the side wall and galley counter. Older models had an open slot with a aluminum angle bat in front of it. The new 2021 model has a screen over the slot, to keep small objects from falling in behind.

Re: Another New T@B Owner

Great idea, but the RV place is not a nuCamp dealer. They took it in as a trade. Drove out late today for a closer look, but they had moved it into the maintenance shop for detailing and a final check-up. The shop was closed for the day, so it was a wasted trip. Oh-well. Next week.

We're kindred spirits @AnOldUR - I also recently bought a used 320 S (2014) from a NuCamp "no-know" RV dealer that was a trade-in.
Congratulations! I hope you love the process of getting to know your fabulous little tiny home away from home as much as I have!

Another New T@B Owner

Put a down payment on a 2018 T@B 320 S yesterday. Picking it up next Friday. My wife and I retired last year and are looking to see some of this country while we still can. Came here to get the inside scoop on these trailers and found much more. Great place!

I'm sure to have many question, but right off the bat here's a simple one. The tongue box is different than any I've seen. Is this an aftermarket item? I'm trying to figure out how good (or bad) of a deal I got, but there seem to be limitless configurations from the factory. Or is that just my imagination?

Looking forward to following the discussions here and learning from others. Thanks for having me.
