Re: Honda Ridgeline Tow Vehicle - Monitoring Transmission Temperature
I've been using a re-coded 1st gen ScanGauge to monitor the tran temp in my 2017 Ridgeline for the past four years. In extreme summer temps in stop and go traffic I've seen the ATF temp exceed the water temp a few times while towing my 320S, approaching 200 degrees. I only have 38,000 miles but have changed the fluid 3 times just to be on the safe side. BTW, I used to have it mounted like in the photo but moved it as it fits perfectly in the cubby below the radio.
Re: Damage to plywood panel in storage space under rear cupboards
So far so good! It's been raining overnight and all day and no signs of leaks yet. Still raining off and on so will check again in the morning.
The amount of water I had leaking prior to my repair was simply too much to have been from the taillight screws. I would be willing to bet anyone that checks the rear storage area and sees evidence of water on the plywood floor should check the seam where I found the missing sealant installation.

Re: Alde leaking as it heats.
A similar thing occurred to the Alde in my T@B 400.
I believe it was caused by air bubbles expanding in the glycol.
The problem was resolved by turning the Alde glycol pump up to full speed for a few minutes. I could hear the bubbles flowing through the system, eventually becoming released to atmosphere once they reached the reservoir.
After a few minutes, I turned the pump back down to the 2 setting (5 is full speed).
I also gently tapped on the automatic air bleeder (located above the glycol pump) in order to bring that device back into proper service.

Re: Alde leaking as it heats.
Hi,
The Alde fluid level should be checked on a cold system. It should be 1 cm above the min. level when cold.

Re: 2024 East Meets West Washington State Gathering Information
I'm in area A site 4 with my T@b 400 BD. Last time I was in a tent...so I'm excited to catch up with everyone now that I'm a T@b owner.

Re: 2018 Nucamp Solar Package?
Let me add this: for some people, the crock pot method of solar (fix it and forget it) will be best. It's true you won't get as much efficiency and it will proud e poor results in shade, but there are folks who spend a lot of time away from the campsite, use very little power, and just need enough to keep the three way fridge running for a weekend or those who are OK parking in open sun. I met a couple last summer who had bought their T@b used and it already had the Unisolar panels installed. They absolutely loved their set-up. They spend their days in the back country and don't have to worrry about theft.
The other thing is that you could actually have both set-ups.

Re: E-ZPass
Interesting, I have had an EZ Pass transponder for four years in my Jeep but never did anything for my Tab400. I have towed her hundreds of miles through many toll roads and never once had a problem. My account has been charged accordingly but I never bothered to confirm how many axles were counted.

I agree completely. Several different utility, travel, and boat trailers and never any problem. If you look at your statement there is a column for class code or something similar and in NYS it will be 2## or 3##. I have a commute between home and a cabin where the same trip is 50% more $ for the 3 code trips which are with trailers.

Re: E-ZPass
I have two passes. One for the truck and one I registered years ago as an RV EZpass for when pulling the camper. In New York there use to be a discount for RVs/campers if you used a separate pass registered as an RV. I don't know if it still applies. I'd have to check as it's been years.
