Re: Tab400 screen door
@Jeneenae, I have no personal experience with repairing the screen door, but these discussion threads may get you started (or at least make you aware of what is involved.) There are other discussions on this forum. Use the "Search" box at the top of the forum page and enter "screen door" or related terms to find additional info:

Re: Air Conditioner Condensation Drain Hose Sealant (Exterior)
Thanks, @Sharon_is_SAM. I was aware that they have recommended the Geocel 2300 MHRV sealant, and I believe it is what they also use to seal the areas around the wheel wells, etc. However, I have never used it myself, so I don't know what it is like (or looks like) out of the tube. The sealant around he A/C drain tube is very thick and gray. The sealant nuCamp put around my wheel wells is black and relatively shiny (wet looking), but maybe that is because it is recent. I imagine the Geocel will do the trick, so I will probably go that route if nobody else chimes in with a better idea. Thank you!!
Re: nucamp360

Does Nu-Camp offer a 320 size kitchen yet? I'd probably go for a 360 if they did. No way am I loosing what little prep area I have up there.
Not at this time. However,
as the 360 is still in evaluation/prototype not real production now is the time to contact nüCamp with your TAB 360 ideas/concerns. The more people that do so the better chance for some changes before final production.
I emailed customer.service and asked them to forward my comments to sales/design teams.
My email had two requests:
1) TAB 320S like kitchen {with smaller Fridge being OK} as an option.
2) A Black Tank (at least factory option) as I won't consider non-Black-Tank models for my next trailer.
I also briefly explained why these options are important to my camping pleasure.

Re: Changing out the Alde fluid.
This part of the thread was started back in May and I haven't seen any further comments (I may be missing some), so I don't know if/how the problem was resolved. However... there could be an issue with your transfer pump. If you bought one similar to what is recommended in the DIY guide, AND disassembled it to wash out the manufacturing lubricant, you may have put it back together wrong. I did this on mine and it would pump once or twice, then get difficult to push, then stop altogether. The culprit was on the outlet end. There is a little dome-shaped disk that sits there to regulate flow. On mine, the dome has to go "up" (towards the barrel of the pump). If you put it in backward, the pump will act up as described. Before doing much work on the trailer, I would verify that your pump can, indeed, pump.
Re: 2024 Tab 400 Drawer Height
Replace the stripped screws on the drawer rails with larger ones that tighten properly, and tighten all the non-stripped screws. That should raise the drawer height. Also, tighten the latch and catch screws. If the latch still does not engage, try adjusting the position of the catch.
Re: Issues with TAB400 Air Conditioner
Sounds like the drain hole/tube is clogged. Not sure what the diameter is but I would think a coat hanger or some such run up the tube would clear it. If you have water in there seems like the AC is doing it's job.
I wouldn't overly force the rod, it may just be bugs or general schmutz blocking the drain.

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.
