Re: Hello from Idaho~
Welcome to the Tab family! Your picture looks like southern Idaho somewhere. I’m currently camping with friends at Priest Lake. If you’re ever up north the second Saturday of the month October through May, we have a SpoTab breakfast and would like you to have you join us! There’s a post here on the forum. Enjoy your journey!
Re: Tab 400 vs alternatives
This year, I also considered purchasing Horizon Sol vs Tab 400 BD. The comparison provided by MuttonChops is so awesome. Thank you for sharing that.
I was so close to a Horizon purchase, I visited the dealer for a long tour, went back to Nucamp dealer to sit in and check out the 400, joined the Horizon Sol FB, posted FB questions for owners concerning the furnace heater, insulation, towing, etc.
I decided on Nucamp.
Like their overall quality of the Tab, quiet Alde heater, insulation and coziness of the Tab during cold rainy Oregon coast boondock camping, and central Oregon fall evenings, comfort in towing (Sol seems so large to tow).
I chose to stay w Nucamp.
By the way, Horizon FB owners response, and a local owner, tell me the heater is noisy, so much so that some owners will only stay in CGs with shore power so they can use a little portable heater, and keep the Horizon Sol heater off the entire trip. There is a very good you tube review, by Couch Potatoes, check it out.
I still like Horizon Sol's dinette, gotta admit.

Re: Which Port for incoming from Solar Generator? And Why?
@crosstrnr Show us your setup and how you wired your Ecoflow when you are done.
Re: Nautilus Suction Remedy
@MuttonChops - Success! Opening the external cold water tap primed the water pump, and it stayed pressurized while I ran antifreeze through all faucets and toilet flush. Nice to have this task completed.
@pthomas745 - thanks for the recommendation. I have bookmarked this product for future reference if I have trouble going forward.
Appreciate the guidance. This group is just so awesome. I tell all new T@bbers about it when we meet at campgrounds.

Re: Sewer hose storage and putting screws in the front of a 2023 Tab400
I was looking at doing the same thing, but ended up mounting just behind the front stablizers. Pretty easy and accessible install location. I share as an alternatve. Clean install, a bit less visible, and easy to access.
Re: Which Port for incoming from Solar Generator? And Why?
In the "Anyone Carry A Spare Battery Thread, there are several ways to attach an "Extra Battery" to the trailer. (The Ecoflow is a very impressive device but it is...a spare battery.) You can attach the Ecoflow to the 7 pin plug on the trailer with a simple modification. I have attached a "spare battery" to the trailer by wiring a battery directly to a 12V port. (A 12V port is a 2 way device: they can draw power or send power to the battery. Another owner simply connected a Bluetti directly into the 12V system.
Here is the "spare battery" thread, with pictures of various "extra battery" setups. The 7 pin plug adapters are discussed, and the Bluetti attached directly into the trailer is on page 2.
Re: After a shore power short the 12v side of things is not working
I think i was switching things on and off when we woke up and electrics were all out, but we have fixed it!
