Re: Attention all Spokane and Pacific NW T@D@ T@B and T@G enthusiasts monthly breakfast
@Tabinator yes! Please note the location change. Perkins has closed for good. We will be meeting this Saturday, October 14,9am at Frankie Doodles. They’re located at 30 E 3rd Ave, just east of Dicks, parking is in back. If we have any idea of how many will be there we will reserve a bigger table. The food is much better, the coffee wasn’t the best the two times I’ve been there. The price was a bit less than Perkins. Anyway, I look forward to seeing tabbers there! All are welcome!
Nautilus Suction Remedy
Maybe this has been posted before...but I've seen the Nautilus getting a bad rap lately!
I had a similar issue with poor suction while trying to winterize....because I emptied my first gallon of anti-freeze, started sucking air, and I lost the prime on my pump. I found that if I open the cold water low-point drain for a few seconds (with a bucket below it), the air would purge quickly and the pump would starting pulling again. For me it worked really well. I also learned to pour 2 gallons of anti-freeze into a bucket before I started....to make sure I didn't run low.

Re: Nautilus Suction Remedy
Thanks for the hints...but the fact that it is not working easily for so many owners means it was never really thought out.
Re: Post up some shots of your T@B set-up at the camp site! #3
Hi Everyone! I've been away for awhile, but am back now! Posting some pics of our trip last weekend to Pinecrest Lake, CA. Weather wasnt great but kids had a blast! I did discover my 2 Harris 6v AGM batteries died so got some good use out of our Honda 2200 generator. Motivated me to do the lithium upgrade (underway)!
Re: 3-way Norcold replacement?
Here's my installation of a Italian made Vitrifrigo C62iXD4-F 2.2 cu ft refrigerator/freezer.
3-way Norcold replacement?
I’m not finding much via search. Can someone steer me to threads on replacing my Norcold 3-way in a 2017 320S. I was one of the fortunate ones in terms of performance up to about a year ago, but it’s been giving me problems running on propane for awhile and I’m ready to do DC/ 2-way.
Re: Norcold 180.3 Out and Vitrifrigo C62IXD4-F In
Finally getting around to posting finished picture:
The top compartment on the right is the air inlet, The middle compartment is for storage and the bottom compartment is the hot air exhaust. There is a plug used to block off the outside vents from the inside to change the air from outside to inside when the compartment door is removed. Have only used it in very hot weather (100 degree temperature) and it had no trouble keeping in the teens and low 20's in the freezer.
Re: Subaru Tow Vehicle
Our 2020 XT + 2018 CSS has been great for us. Going over the Sierra passes and climbing the long grade in Death Valley was just fine. It’s been stable when crossing the windy sections of the Sacramento delta. MPG is 17-18.
I really liked the turbo’s torque and recommend it over the 2.5L engine of my previous Subarus.
Re: Which Port for incoming from Solar Generator? And Why?
Some of the 12V to 12V methods described are in effect connecting the batteries in parallel. From what I've read, it's not a good idea to do that with your lead acid battery and the LiFePO4 in your Delta 2.
"Different types of lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries are not recommended for use together, because the load characteristics and capabilities of the battery are different, which will lead to abnormal conditions and safety issues."

Re: Subaru Tow Vehicle
Thanks for the feedback. The Subaru Outback turbo and the non-turbo are built on the same platform. The Subaru service people tell me the increased towing capacity and tongue wt specs for the turbo is solely because of the higher hp output of the engine coupled with more robust transmission gearing and cooling. Essentially the turbo engine will haul a heavier load up hills, etc without struggling. The suspension on both vehicles is the same and therefore should handle the same (apart from the power issue) under towing conditions. Has anyone found this not to be the case? Comments please.
