The E-Z pass gantry will detect the trailer and and charge the 3 axel rate to the TV tag.
I've been using one all over the US for years.

Re: E-ZPass
I have a Massachusetts E-ZPass and 5 years ago entered my Tab as a TRL-Trailer, with the make "Pleasant Valley" and the model "TAB 400".
However, I see that they made a change for travel trailers and they want you to now call their 800- number to specify the type of RV for proper billing.
Your state may be the same. Read the "Enter a new vehicle" part carefully.

Re: Planning DC charging upgrades- solar and DC-DC
You obviously have not looked at the original diagram the OP posted which is what I commented on and there are different ways to wire batteries in parallel. Depending on length and gauge the top diagram is preferred for longer and smaller gauge wire.rfuss928 said:Maxcamp8
It concerns me that the three folks that chose to offer detailed critique of your wiring diagram so far cannot see that the batteries are clearly shown wired in parallel. I would look elsewhere for electrical advise...
Re: E-ZPass
Thanks for the info. We are from Canada and are heading to Nucamp at the end of April for some warranty work and a factory tour. On the E-ZPASS form we were unable to enter our trailer information. We will be calling their 1-800 number this morning for clarification. I will update when I know more.
Re: Looking for propane grill recommendation
Assuming the outside propane connection is like on every other RV keep in mind that this is a low pressure connection, after the regulator. The typical small propane grills have their own regulator and in many cases the regulator and flame adjustment are a single unit so you can not simply remove it. With larger grills that connect to a full size propane tank one can simply replace the hose with the regulator with one that connects to the quick disconnect.
Although I had trailers in the past that had the propane quick disconnect, I never used it because of the hassle of adapters and regulators. Plus it limits where the grill can be placed, which more often than not is away from the provided table and benches.

Re: Looking for propane grill recommendation
I don't bring a BBQ grill anymore. Too heavy and too big. We have completely switched to a skottle from Tembo Tusk for all our cooking and I can't see us going back. Not only is it lighter and smaller to carry but it is also so much easier to clean. https://tembotusk.com/pages/skottle-grill
Re: Looking for propane grill recommendation
We still use the Coleman Road Trip grill we used for many years while tent camping. We don't take it very often. I've wondered about the Weber Little Joe. Weber has a table top, gas grill that looks nice. If it cooks and fits in your car, it's good.
Re: Looking for propane grill recommendation
I've used the smaller Weber Q for years. The Q used to be pretty popular with this crowd--it's solidly built with a heavy iron grill, has a griddle option, and with a few modifications can even be used as a makeshift oven for baking.
That said, it is a bit oddly shaped and a little bulky, but I've got plenty of space in the covered back of a truck, so I'm stickin' with it!
Re: Looking for propane grill recommendation
I love my very small Weber with igniter. I have had others that are larger and heavier, but prefer this one. It’s lightweight, has plenty of grill space for my needs, is reasonably priced, and does the job well. I had the lower model CharBroil but prefer having an igniter.
