Re: Ideas on Tab 360
Wow is this for real? I sure hope it is as this would be perfect for my wife and I. We love our 320S, but do wish it was just slightly bigger - especially the height since I am 6’ 2”. But the 400 pushes our tow limits and the bed was always a deal breaker for my wife. We have twin bed mod now, so having a dedicated twin bed setup, extra height and still towable by our Model Y would be perfect! Please nuCamp build this soon! Let me know if you need crowdsourced funding to accelerate development :-).
Re: TAB 400 2021 Tires
that is what I have been running for several years now. never had an issue and they tow very well.
Re: Ideas on Tab 360
@Mickerly we were looking for a bigger 320 CS where we could sleep N-S vs E-W. Ideally it would offer a bit more overall room. After reading about the prototype 360, you are right we'll stick with our current Slacker-approved 320 CS.
Re: Very low hot water pressure solved
Yes, exactly this.dsfdogs said: do you press the white "ring" towards the mixing valve while also pulling out the black plastic elbow/connection?
Re: Solar Suitcases Compared?
While I don't have much to add, it was amusing to see one of my first forum discussions resurrected.
FWIW, The Renogy 100W suitcase with 10A PWM controller I bought in 2016 still meets my needs. Technology sure has advanced though--I've been interested in the more recent comments about the current generation of solar equipment.
Re: Corrosion of Alde Convectors
Yes, the non return valve is still an aluminum part. There is a 60 mm version and a 90 mm version. They sent me the 90 mm version, that will still work, probably.
The total for 6 of the plastic "stubs" and the valve was 46 dollars with shipping, etc. The packing slip did not break down the cost per item. Took three days for shipping from Ohio, so I'm guessing the shipping cost may have been 1/4 of that 46 dollar total. And, I hope Missouri Teardrops got compensated a bit, too. I have no complaints about this: I didn't think I'd be able to order any Alde parts, and it was nice to get them to Socal in three days or so.
Looking again at the FB post, that owner says that Alde charged 1.41for each stub. So...I think working through Alde would be a better deal.
Re: Ideas on Tab 360
A long time ago I suggested to them a version with a hatch at the back (like the clamshell) but for a storage garage for bicycles and inflatable/foldable boats and the kitchen on the inside. I still think that it would work. It would be like a mini toy hauler.
Re: Solar Suitcases Compared?
@pthomas745, I used two 120 Bluetti Portable Solar Panels. I installed a Victron Solar Controller and external connector in my front tub. I use one panel for the camper although could combine them if needed when boondocking. I also bring an extension if I've park out of the sun. I use the other panel in conjunction with a small bluetti solar battery to run my portable ICECO GO20 Fridge/Freezer. It can basically run that indefinitely. Been working good for about 2 yrs so far.
Re: Corrosion of Alde Convectors
My order of the "stubs" and another non-return valve arrived yesterday. This is what the plastic stubs look like.
An owner of a 2014 on the FB page went to school with this thread and cleaned his convectors, etc also. They reported that they were able to order the parts needed with a direct call to Truma/Alde. I'm not sure if there has been some change in policy/ideas from Alde, but maybe, just maybe, they will be a bit more helpful with the parts side of the Alde.
This phone number for Alde: 855-558-7862
