Re: Keder rail split on 320...fix ideas?
This never really made sense to me. Certainly Nucamp could get Keder to provide single pieces of rail in a length that wouldn't require a split. We had to do some filing on ours to keep the awning from snagging. After we filed, I put some Rustoleum on it. Yours is too far off for filing though. It needs to be aligned and refastened.
Backup camera zoom lens
Hello all,
I got a new wireless backup camera for my Tab and it works quite well with one exception. And that is for anything beyond about 20 feet behind me, it makes things look like they are a mile away. So cars way to close for me to make a lane change are almost not even visible. I think it is ok for backing into a tight parking spot but otherwise, this thing is a major accident waiting to happen. So I was wondering if there is a small zoom lens that I can attach/glue to it to get a more close-up view. Kinda like those lenses you can attach to an iphone for wide angle and macro. Has anybody found something like this before??
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Alde Outdoor Temperature Sensor installed
If anyone is interested I went ahead and ordered the stock Alde Outdoor Temperature Sensor on eBay UK from an RV parts supplier. It was $38 with all the fees etc. it took about two weeks to be delivered.
I wasn’t sure where I was going to pass the wire through to the outside but while searching my 2023 T@b 320s I was pleasantly surprised to find there is a ready made pass through right next to the Alde system. It’s a rubber grommet with 4 pass through holes. Two are being used as drains and two have small removable rubber plugs. The temperature sensor cable fit perfectly, it was an easy install.
I picked a location that seemed like there would be no direct sunlight or heat sources that would interfere with the temperature reading. I mounted the sensor under the floor of the nautilus cabinet next to the frame with double sided tape and two self tapping screws. I coiled the extra cable and left it inside the Alde system under the electronics access panel just in case I want to relocate the sensor.

Turned on the Alde system and now I have an outdoor temperature reading under the inside temperature.
Re: 360 Cassette Question
@Mickerty. Understood. I was commenting on the original post mentioning the combined tank in a Basecamp. But to me, it's still a permanently mounted septic tank. Just my preference. Regarding the caddies: Because it's basically soapy water in my gray tank, I just use a small bucket on the rare occasions that I've had to empty. An open container of soapy water doesn't scare me!
Re: Need help with Maxxair Maxxfan upgrade
I believe the roof thickness is the same on the 320 and the 400, and I made the mistake of getting the base fan and it does NOT work with a 1 1/8" roof. I had to trim mine out and lost a bit of headroom.ckjs said:@bjn2 Have you (or anyone) seen how the MaxxFan flush interior mount works? I’m in the middle of replacing the Fantastik fan with a manual MaxxFan (4401K). The sales info for the new one said it works with 1” roof thickness, but the paperwork inside mentions a minimum 2” thickness unless you get the really basic MaxxFan Mini, which I’d never heard of.bjn2 said:Just a note that our 2023 320s BD came with a base level MaxxFan. NuCamp trimmed/reinforced the inside of the opening with 1x2 wood. Unfortunately, that wood reduces headroom and Nucamp left sharp corners that put divots in my head until I covered them with foam padding. NuCamp changed the mounting in 2024 so the ceiling fan trim is flush. Eventually, I'd like to upgrade to the Deluxe MaxxFan and hope it's possible to remove the wood to regain headroom.
Perhaps nuCamp added an exterior trim ring, on the roof?
The story is here and I used wood trim to finish it off after the vinyl stuff would not hold

The higher cost Maxxfans all can use a 1 inch roof apparently
Re: No Hot Water Supply Woes and Repair T@B 400
Thank you. I’ll pull the cap off as soon as I get home. And resume the effort there.

The red cap on the mixing valve actually pulls off and is used to adjust the mix of hot to cold water. You'll see a triangle indent in the reed cap that fits the triangle of the adjustment knob when inverted. I would start there to see if that is the reason for no hot water.
In my case the mixing valve itself was bad. The check valve on the hot water inlet was stuck, so no water was flowing. I was able to unstick the check valve as described in the last paragraphs of my original post. We just got back from a three-week road trip, and all is still functioning.
