Re: Do I have enough strength to do this?
I think the most physically demanding thing is hitching/unhitching when the coupler gets stuck on the ball. It's also difficult to push/pull the Tab around by hand if you need to. And the most frustrating thing is backing up and parking the Tab.
Great Trash Can
Recently found this great little Camco 5 qt trash can, on Amazon. It looks good and functions very well. We have it mounted with adhesive tape on the door of our 320S, so it serves both inside and outside. The flap is spring loaded and the receptacle is easily removed for emptying. Dimensions: 13" high x 8.5" wide x 5" deep. They also offer a smaller, 3 qt version.

Charging from TV
I found this kind of by accident. I know I don't get very much current through the 7 way connector on my F150. I am putting the smaller version of this on my future mod list.

Re: Lusting for [email protected] 400-family and friends think I'm nuts. Too small they say. I want your feedback.
it will only feel small if it is replacing your house. It will be huge if it's replacing your tent.

Just returned from a great long weekend camping with my gal’s group, 11 of us camping at Heyburn State Park in North Idaho. Beautiful campground, beautiful weather and great friends! Love my Tab more each trip! Brought Reggie, my furry sidekick. There’s a lot to be said for morning naps in the sun!
Installation of Sofitel Sink
I’ve just upgraded the sink in our 2018 320S with a Sofitel-style stainless sink and glass lid. When searching the forum for any information, I found references to other members having completed this upgrade but no details, so I thought it might be helpful if I posted my installation experience.
The new sink is a Dometic / SMEV VA8005 which I purchased from Amazon for $219 + tax. Installation took only about one hour, although that was made easier and quicker because I had previously fitted a Hepvo trap and flexible connector for the existing sink.
Removal of the existing sink was easily accomplished by unscrewing the four corner clamp wingnuts and breaking the fine caulk bead. The faucet was then easily removed from the counter. Since they both fit, I chose to transfer the drain and faucet to the new sink.
Perhaps the most critical part of this upgrade is the precise measuring, marking and cutting for the enlarged opening of the new sink. There is minimal room for error. I used masking tape to map out the opening. Keeping the front edge of the existing opening I cut the sides, back and corners. I offset the new opening slightly to the left, to allow for the close proximity of the right inside cabinet wall and used my cordless jig saw for the cuts.
Since part of the existing faucet hole is exposed, I used epoxy putty to fill it (although the dark gray of the putty does not look so awful, I do plan mixing a little acrylic paint to match the counter top). After checking for fit, the sink can be positioned and anchored down with the corner screws which are accessible from the top by removing the four rubber pads. Note, there are four tiny clamp extensions that should be fitted before dropping the sink in the opening. Once the sink is secured the water lines and trap can be connected. The final step is to run a fine bead of caulk around the sink (I used GE clear silicone).
The attached photos should be self-explanatory. I am very pleased with this upgrade. The end result is a flush, streamlined look and increased counter top versatility. BTW, if anyone is in need of a standard sink and [email protected] inset board, I have them available in as-new condition!
