New "Thermostatic" Mixing Valve
The new hotness over on the FB page is this new mixing valve design that is apparently showing up in the latest trailers:
An owner contacted Alde and got a response about how to adjust it. They claim it is not adjustable.
"Thank you for your interest in Truma and/or Alde products.
The Speedfit Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) is not able to be adjusted.

NuCamp responded this morning with "another" answer:
We
are just checking to see if you were able to resolve this issue.
If
not, please try the following: Remove the red cap from the mixing valve,
turn it upside down and use it as an adjustment tool.
Turn the spindle
clockwise to lower the mixed water temperature.
Turn the spindle
counterclockwise to raise the temperature.

Re: New TaB owner
Congrats on the new camper @vflowers. I'm not yet a T@B owner (so am a bit jealous) but found a ton of useful information on this forum and have gotten many useful suggestions. I'm sure you'll find the same.
We've been waiting for about 5 months for our 320 BD, but were recently notified that the factory will start our build next month. With any luck, our long wait to become legitimate T@B owners should end in early March.

I live in Wisconsin and I have a brand new 2021 T@B320S
Re: camping trailer breakdown towing
@Tundra57 ;
YouTuber Slim Potatohead had several roadside breakdowns with his older TV and Aliner pop-up. Each time he remarked how helpful the Tow Truck operator was in getting his trailer to a campsite. A place for him to wait while TV 'parts' shipped to middle of nowhere.
In general TV was loaded on one of those flatbed Tow Trucks (roll-back) and the trailer was towed by Tow Truck. Slim never shared the cost but seemed OK with the results.
Like so many things, fully explain your situation to the vendor before they arrive on site and they will work with you to find a solution.

Re: Alde no heat but hot water
Thanks everyone we figured out where the tank is, and it is empty! I have no idea why. Turned off the alde. We will contact dealer, as on warranty
Re: 2021 Tongue Box Dimensions (320)
Thanks, @Verna! I have the standard Valterra carrier. I don't recall the exact O.D. but I think it may be a little chubby for that trough. I suspect clearance to the camper wall might also be an issue.
I might take you up on the offer of additional photos once I ruminate on it a bit more.

Re: Glycol tank - cap will not fully tighten and glycol level problem?
I went to top off this afternoon also. I was curious about this issue, after reading it. I was removing the cap, and thought to myself, “what’s the issue?” When I went to put the lid back on, I experianced what has been spoken of. The fix, at least for me, is to pres down on he lid as you screw it in. The threads will catch correctly. This worked for me, without any further mods or gyrations.
Re: Newbie One Night Question
We've stayed multiple times at Cracker Barrels, without any trouble. We've always called ahead to ask if they allow overnight parking (not camping). If yes, we follow whatever instructions they give over the phone. We don't unhitch--just unplug the 7 pin. We've put the stabilizers down just to get rid of the bouncy feeling, but point taken about being able to easily drive away if necessary. We might reconsider stabilizers in the future. Cracker Barrel is our choice because we can get a big, inexpensive dinner, save enough leftovers for lunch, and have breakfast in the morning. It's nice to get dinner to go and eat in the camper with a glass of wine (since Cracker Barrel doesn't serve alcohol).
Re: Good Words From Competition While Shopping
The “Little Guy” T@Bs were manufactured by Pleasant Valley Teardrops (see the VIN tag on the left side of the tongue). Pleasant Valley is the “mother” company of nüCamp RV. Little Guy only marketed the pleasant Valley Teardrops through their “divorce” in early 2017. Little Guy never manufactured these teardrops, T@G’s, or T@B’s.
The quality is still the same.
