Re: Attention all Spokane and Pacific NW T@D@ T@B and T@G enthusiasts monthly breakfast

@MuttonChops - I haven't heard anything about the group officially disbanding. My recent travels have kept me out of town during our typical meeting times as well. Hopefully East Meets West will get us re-energized to continue the get-togethers.

Re: Post up some shots of your T@B set-up at the camp site! #3

Pretty sure that a Harvest Host vineyard doesn't officially count as a campsite, but I'll throw this in here anyway. It was from last weeks shakedown trip of four HH stops. The pictures from the rest of you has us really looking forward to getting out to visit some new places. Thanks for sharing!

Electric Brake Repair

After years of bumpy trails and long miles on pavement, the brake wire on the passenger side pulled out of it's crimp connection. I removed the crimps, soldered the wires, rapped them in electrical tape and encased the wires in 1/2" Beaded Wire Loom.

Re: Solar Suitcases Compared?

Got the chance to hook all three up today in full sun, same position and angle, same extension, and same controller. The 200w flexible roof panel I haven't mounted yet did the best with the lightweight foldable 200w portable within 5%. The older, heavier 200w suitcase was about 15% less.

Re: Install of 2-way fridge in 2014 TAB 320-S Basic

@EBastow, it’s a Domende (not Dometic). I only posted it as a size reference, but it has done a great job going into its fifth season.

Re: Install of 2-way fridge in 2014 TAB 320-S Basic

Had a similar fridge in my VW van and now a Dometic in the 320. You don't require venting to the outside but as someone else mentioned any extra air flow helps with efficiency. When ambient temps rise the fridge works harder to cool. Basic science. I kept the OG top vent on our 2020 open to allow outside air to flow past. Added some bug screen just in case. Also added to vents in the cabinet.

Re: 2023 T@B 400 battery did not last the night with alde running.

no, battery was full when we left - trailer had been plugged in to the house for a day. Also had the t@b at my son's wedding. it sat in the sun all day with just the fridge running, and the battery died at 11PM just using lights and fan. Maybe the og battery is not good, but since I added another things are working fine?
