Thank you! There was indeed a blown fuse. I thought I had checked them all, but I missed it.

@lkc001 I do not know if anyone has been able to directly answer the question, because I (and others) were fortunate to obtain some from nuCamp. However, although I do not recall the source of the information, I previously copied and saved the below product link for future reference, so you might want to take a look and see if it will work for you:

Re: 2021 Tab 400 Boondock heavy tongue weight?
I always recommend to newbies or folks like you thinking of going bigger… rent. I was in your spot years ago. Though not with a 400 but Winnebago. I found a same model on RvShare and towed it 1400 miles to northern Ga for the test. I learned a lot through the reasonable cost of a weeks rental. Vice the cost of depreciation of a wrong Rv purchase.lkc001 said:I understand @GatorEgg —not really a deciding factor per se. I tow a Tab 320S now & tow with full water tank & extra weight on the tongue because it rides better. Have more than enough power & torque & tow in Colorado mountains. No issues at all & keep up with reasonable traffic speeds at no higher than 3500 rpm for short bursts with OD OFF. Have no need for any springs or WDH hitch now even at highway speeds wind or semis passing . The reason I am researching here & other places & asking feedback is because I have not towed a Trailer the size of the 400 with my Frontier—so I don’t know what I don’t know. it is rated for 6,300-6,500 # & has tow package. I’m asking & gathering info to decide between Sumo Springs or WDH. It appears to be a split between people’s preferences.GatorEgg said:400 tongue weights are all over the place. As said, check VIIN with NuCamp for specific. My 2022 tongue weight is 321#(weighed). IMO, If 100 lbs or so difference in tongue weight is a dividing factor then a different trailer or tow vehicle should be considered.

Something like this would be ideal.
Re: Post up some shots of your T@B set-up at the camp site! #3
Taking a midweek respite from heat wave and house repairs back home. 100 ft from ocean at Sunset Point Campground, Harrington ME.
A rare place with well separated spaces and many secluded sites. 60s (fog) and 70s on shore! 90s inland.
Re: Portable Gas Grill for 2025 T@B 400
We gave up bbq’ng simply because of the cleanup and smell. We found a planchard - a ribbed flat cooking surface with a handle about 10” square. The ribs allow drippings and fat to accumulate below the meat. It works very well and washes easily as it is non stick. We use a Coleman bbq as the heat source. This fits into a Woods zippered heavy bag for storage. Fuel is the disposable 1 lb propane canisters.
Re: 2021 Tab 400 Boondock heavy tongue weight?
Gosh, tongue wt again. My 2019 - 400 weighed in at 406# with empty tanks and a full propane tank forward. Since fussing over this, I’ve been able to manage with my Subaru Ascent 500# limit. I place the portable gear; chairs, table, heavy groceries and drinks etc; on the very back portion of the double bed and in the locker below. It reduces the tongue wt a bit.
Yes your vehicle has a limit on the allowed tongue wt. however this is a static load ie: with the rig on a level surface and not moving. Once you start driving that tongue wt varies to probably double to zero or less when you travel over uneven surfaces. Consider the up and down when going over a train track or dip in the roadway.
I’ve thought that Sumo springs might be an economical solution if your vehicle bottoms out. I’m not sure if they provide additional or levelling support as a result of tongue wt. Perhaps someone can clarify this.

Re: Portable Gas Grill for 2025 T@B 400
The quick connect is for a "Low Pressure" camp stove. Most camp stoves need a high pressure supply. Even bypassing the stoves regulator won't make it work properly. Anything that works directly off a little green bottle most likely won't work properly (like Coleman). If you try to use a high pressure stove it either won't light, won't get hot enough, or could easily blow out in the wind (dangerous). Blackstone makes low pressure grills and Camp Chief has a low pressure camp stove. A standard camp stove (high pressure) should be connected directly to the propane tank before the T@B's regulator, not the quick connect. They make Y connections to do this.
Re: Portable Gas Grill for 2025 T@B 400
I think it’s the Q1000. Same thing without the side shelves. We swapped half the grilling grate with a solid frying type grate. Veggies go there, steaks on bars. Or eggs go there bacon/steaks go on bar side.Chele said:@GatorEgg Thanks. Is your Weber the Q1200, by chance? That's one I'm seriously considering
Btw, to use Weber on trailer propane port, grill valve must be modified.
Re: Battery power issue solved 2021 tab 400 BD
Where is the Gloso circuit breaker located on the 400 BD? I have no battery power. Thanks.
Never mind - found it, it was tripped and I have DC power now!
