Re: How do you secure items in your fridge while traveling?
We also cut egg cartons long-wise and they fit right into the small shelves in the fridge door. the eggs stay nice and snug in there.
Re: Victron MPPT 75/10 never charges battery - Resolved, blown 20a fuse on bottom of MPPT
Did you check this fuse? It is kind of hidden by the wiring and hard to see from above. A small mirror may help...
Storage bins for Tab 400
We like to use the storage space under the stove for food. The product shown in the picture is item S-15646Y from Uline.com. It only comes in set of 9. (But I found great use for the other 5 in the house.) They are just deep enough and fit side-by-side, nicely. It is easy to load with food, in the house, and tote 2-at-a-time to the trailer. Looking for something? They slide in and out easily. Cost was about $90 including shipping and tax.
Re: Victron MPPT 75/10 never charges battery - Resolved, blown 20a fuse on bottom of MPPT
@rfuss928 I did NOT check that one! And what do you know, it's blown!! Will have to wait for the sun to come up again to see if replacing it took care of things. I will post back, thanks!
Re: Victron Smart Shunt IP65
@Robermcm Generally it won't be replacing something else. Most systems don't have this installed as standard (Unless your Tab came with the factory Lithium upgrade install). All loads and chargers get connected to one side of the shunt. The other side is connected to the negative of the battery. If the system doesn't have a shunt installed already, there might be a need for some cutting of wires and connectors being attached. The install is quite easy.
Re: RESOLVED: T@B 320S not getting power from the tow vehicle
UPDATE: Just to be sure I checked this out on my Frontier. While--as expected--the tail and side marker lights are linked to the headlights, the brake and turn signals operate regardless of whether the headlights are on or off.
Re: Microwave Outlet
@ScottG
@rfuss928
Again, thank you for the help! All good points.
The original outlet is rated for 20 amps, the Romex is 12 ga., and the breaker is 20 amps. I could easily change the breaker to a 15 amp so as not to overload a 15 amp outlet....if that ever happened. My other concern was exactly as ScottG mentioned. I'm not crazy about the 'guillotine' style connectors and I was concerned that a 15 amp breaker might be too tight on the 12 gauge wiring.
Last resort, I suppose I could change the romex, the breaker, and the outlet....but I think I'll just leave it as is for now. It was just one of those ideas that I had which, I thought, would be a quick, simple swap. I'ver learned that these campers are designed to utilize every square inch of space and there is usually a reason for most things.
Thanks once again!

Re: No dc on shore power and battery is not charging (solar disconnected)
Bit of a longshot, but in my 2018 320, the first 15 amp circuit breaker on the panel feeds the converter (and the inside GFCI outlet, and the household outlet over the sink). You might check that and reset it, especially since you seem to be getting shore power to the other circuits. Or, plug something into the one of the outlets I mentioned. If they're getting power, then it indicates the problem is in the converter itself.
Re: External antenna fell out of mount (2019 T@B400)
Interesting. Looks like the bonding that held the sleeve in place has failed. Removing the base (since you never use it) will of course leave a sidewall hole to fill/cover/seal.
My 320S uses the same antenna.
For the black-tank version 320S the antenna can be reached from the wet-bath hatch behind the toilet. No Idea on access in TAB 400.
The Antenna Mount (inside) looks like this:

Re: Driving Self Crazy What If'ing on Next Trailer & Tow Vehicle {long rambling}
Love the cassette. If you think it's too heavy when full then don't use so much water when flushing and just don't wait till it's full. Had a black tank for many years. So much quicker, cleaner, and easier, and so many dumping options with a cassette. I don't ever want to go back to a black tank.
