Re: Dirty clothes
We hang a laundry bag behind the loo in our 2020 320S. When it's full enough to interfere with sitting, the contents get transferred to a storage bin in the back of our tow vehicle.

No worries @MOS2
I recently read a comment on diversity and freedom of choice that I believe applies...
"Most choices in life come down to "what am I going to do with the next minute" and "how will I spend my next dollar".
It's wonderful we all choose differently... "Safe travels!
Re: 2021 320 air 8 relocation of sensor
I have installed it and have a word of warning - the instructions stating "just unplug the wires" from the white wiring harness are grossly over simplified and I have contacted NuCamp to tell them as much but they were NOT receptive and said that no one has had an issue. A posting by my wife asking for feedback has yielded opinions to the contrary with non in agreement with NuCamp at the time of this posting.
Drilling the hole in the required location and running the wires was relatively simple - providing you happen to have the required size drill bit which is quite large.
The wires do not unplug from the white harness and the best description I can think of is that they are barbed and not meant to come out unless you have a special tool. Pulling on the wires to "unplug" them resulted in the wires breaking off and the metal leads or barbs staying within the white plug. I had to ever so slightly cut the base of them to get them out after the wires broke. Once I plugged the new leads in they would not stay firmly in place so I used electrical tape to secure it and placed the white connector back on the circuit board. So far it has held and the sensor has given a temperature reading.
I have requested 4 metal leads and the white connector in case it fails but NuCamp says they need to get it from Elwell and I haven't received them to date.
If I were going to do it again I would just cut the wire, splice them, and shrink wrap them without removing them from the white harness.
Just a heads up if you are going to do it yourself.
I will add that the sensor seems to be mostly inside the cabinet than in the open air and seems to read a bit high as I think it is reading residual heat from the cabinet.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Good luck!

Re: Backing up into camping space
Going into our sixth season of T@Bing, backing is still not pretty. I find that by going slow, using mirrors and getting out to verify when not sure, I can get the job done. My Achilles heel is when we visit our son in Chicago. There's a great spot to moochdock off the side of his driveway. The trouble is that it's a sharp turn off of a narrow road with a big tree to navigate around. I start sweating miles away anticipating the embarrassment to both me and my son as his neighbors watch the show.

Re: Washing dishes in a T@B360
How ambitious are you? This is how I changed the kitchen and it's very functional. If you get rid of the glass top everything opens up, including the space to the rear of the sink. This setup provides a prep area and drain board options. We don't need the dopey TV, so all that space can also be used if you need it.Re: WFCO with cold solder joint?
Generally speaking, fuses protect wiring so this fuse is supposed to open when there is a short in the wiring between the power center and the battery. However modern LiFePo batteries with 50+ amps of charging current can easily max out the converter and draw more current than the fuse (and the wiring) is rated for. Typically there is also is a circuit breaker or fuse near the battery for the same purpose, the circuit is somewhat unique in that it does have power sources at both ends.pthomas745 said:The "battery charging" fuse (I'm guessing a bit here) prevents a surge of power from being sent to a battery in a very low state of charge.
As for a cold solder joint, anything is possible but I I'd think it's not likely. Rather have a really close look at the fuses, or just replace it and check that the contact is tight and not oxidized.
Re: Walker Tent/Awning for T@B 400 Experience
It was an adventure. I didn't really know what I was doing. I'm a decent seamstress but I did it in winter when the T@B was in cold storage.
I called the company in the Netherlands and ordered the zippers which was the biggest hurdle. My mom lives in England so they mailed them to her. Might be really expensive to do it to USA. They cost me over $100.
Then I used the tent parts as a pattern and used black bug screen from JoAnns I used a thicker screen for the bottom half so it would withstand some wear and tear. I laid the fabrics on top of each other and "sealed" the joins with some thick ribbon I sewed on. same with the joins to the zippers. it was a challenge to keep the zipper parts separated so I would be sure to use the correct piece to zip in to the existing tent. I am not really finished yet. i was going to add some loops for tent pegs but think not as we need to be able to go in and out of the zipper at the front. Next time I take D@isy out I can take some detailed pics if you are interested.
