Re: NuCamp recall for certain 2023-2024 nuCamp TAB 400, Cirrus 620, and 820's with the Lithium Upgrade
I need some schooling here. Although this recall doesn't affect me, I'm curious...
Most of the battery disconnect switches I've seen installed in T@Bs look pretty substantial. These are usually rated to handle voltage and current (amps) far in excess of anything a normal T@B would use. Anybody know what's happening in this case, or why it specifically matters in the case of the lithium upgrade?

@AnOldUR, I couldn't agree more. The available options have gotten better and much less expensive at an amazing rate.
Re: Dr. Prepare 100Ah 12V PowerMax LiFePO4 Battery / NOCO Genius10
@bjn2 My LiFePO4 journey has be a bit haphazard. The Dr. Prepare mostly rides in the back of my Wrangler and is dedicated to a small chest fridge/freezer. At the time I had a pair of AGM batteries in my T@B and put a Victron 75/15 in the tub to assist in charging them. I was happy enough with the Dr. Prepare battery that I purchased two of the non-hub versions to replace the AGM's. If I had it to do over, your 230Ah Li Time would probably win out for the trailer. The price, quality and choices of the newer LiFePO4's is hard to keep up with.
Solar panel specs on 2021 Tab 400
What is the wattage on the 2021 Tab 400 roof Solar Panel? I have seen everywhere from 105 to 190 watts. Does anyone know for sure?
Re: Large Rigid Solar Panel Upgrade
Every one who ever sees this post is going to ask:
How are they attached to the roof? How are they secured while the trailer is in motion? Or, do they have to be?
Can you show us what the "mounting frame" is and how it works? How did you get on to the roof to install it all?
Where/how does the wiring enter the trailer? How/where is the solar controller?
Beautiful install. There have been several other installs of "tiltable" panels done in different ways, and each have been pretty remarkable achievements.
This install was pretty amazing for...2017.
320 "closet"
Decided I needed to better use the tiny bit of underutilized space. We hadn't used the TV for a couple of years!
Re: NuCamp recall for certain 2023-2024 nuCamp TAB 400, Cirrus 620, and 820's with the Lithium Upgrade
As I've been building a parts list to install a Multiplus 3000 in my 2021 T@B 400, one of the things I wondered about was the disconnect switch nuCamp uses. I had already purchased a 400 Amp disconnect and was planning on replacing the existing one for the exact reason this recall is happening...Glad I did!

thank Thanks @ pthomas745. I put it under the Service, Maintenance and Recall category.
Re: Alde Fluid Never Changed - Problems?
The anti-corrosive properties of the glycol degrade more over time than use. That's the reason for a two year time frame rather than the amount time the Alde actually ran. Look for bulging around the convectors like in the attached picture to know if you have a problem. If you don't see bulging, you are probably safe to assume that all it need is a glycol exchange (preferably to the Rhomar fluid).
