Re: TAB400 Bathroom door hinge source
Thank you for this information! We either broke a hinge when removing the door OR it was already broken and was discovered as a result of removing the door. We are removing the plastic trim and installing an aluminum channel in its place. I am continually amazed at the knowledge base of this forum. Thank you!
Re: I kiled the cat
The compressor has thermal protection and shuts itself off if overheating. The fans will continue to run trying to cool things down. You should be just fine. Many of us have made a similar mistake.
FWIW - Cooling performance can be substantially improved with an external baffle placed on the outside grill that separates the hot exhaust from the inlet air.

Re: Renew Alde air cushion
Many thanks!RTWCTS said:There are two of them in a 400. They are located in the compartment under the bed on the driver’s side. You’ll need to unscrew the bed panel and lift it up to find them.BillCB said:Where is the yellow valve inside the cabin? I don't see one in my 400.Like some others, we now leave the screws out of that panel because we are regularly in that compartment to do this procedure. I also drilled a finger hole in the panel to make it easier to lift.

Re: Jack-It Bike Rack experience
@Marceline, thanks for the suggestion to also submit a report to NHTSA, which I did this afternoon. I had previously considered contacting them, but assumed it was not within their jurisdiction. However, I researched it today and found that they do investigate bike carrier safety issues.
Re: Post up some shots of your T@B set-up at the camp site! #3
The Ohio/ Pennsylvania Tab group were camping at Keystone state park last weekend. There were 21 Tabs in our loop and a couple in the no dogs loop. We had about 40 at the pot luck supper. 
Re: Some "Out the Window" Views
Here’s a funny out the door shot. Slept with windows open and woke up this morning to a poopy smell. Thought that there was something going on with our black tank. Opened the door to find this. The owners of the Harvest Host lets his dogs out in the morning and was very apologetic. We’re dog people and had a good laugh over it.
Re: Too Much Truck
@tabiphile I picture it like jumping off a wall with either knees locked or knees bent. Knees locked will send more shock through your body. With knees bent some of the shock will be absorbed by your muscles and tendons. With a lighter duty tow vehicle, the suspension will absorb more of the impact than the stiffer suspension of a one ton.
