Re: Moonshade XL Awning on my T@B
I've had it out a couple of times.
The only place I attach mine is by straps to the front and rear handles. It's tight enough so it won't lift over the edge of the roof. I found with one person that tying a cord to the center of the side going over the roof (there's a loop to attach to) makes it easy to lean the moonshade up and use the cord to pull that side over the top and attach to anything on the opposite side to help hold in place while you're tightening the front and rear straps.
I also shortened the poles that came with it. The bottom section with holes for adjustments can be shortened. I cut 10 inches off mine. The 400 is taller so you might want to cut less.
Re: Solar panel not working?
I have seen solar going to the batteries on the Victron app before. And we have the 2-way fridge that does not run on propane.
Just realized we are at a Harvest Host site tonight that is 1 hour away from Pleasant Valley Teardrop! Might call them first thing in the morning and possibly take it in.

Re: CSS is at the top of my (most recent) RV search
We love our CS-S! I think having a good system for still being able to use the kitchen when it rains is key. There are a lot of good options out there. Last season I bought the REI Trailgate that we really like. It’s easy to set up, is just right for 2 people and has kept us dry while cooking in some heavy storms.

Re: Comparison of Dimensions: 320 vs. 400
This is a really good question and I can understand why you would want to know. I have not seen those details, but I would think the factory would be the best place to get those details. Perhaps one of the mods here in the forum can inquire.
Re: Pricing a 320 without a bathroom
Bee, Where are you located and do you have pictures?
Re: Pricing a 320 without a bathroom
While I have no specific advice regarding dollar amounts, here are some thoughts...
At first consideration, a non-bath model is going have a lower resale value. However, such units are also pretty rare among the Pleasant Valley/nuCamp generation of T@Bs (as evidenced by the lack of response to your inquiry). The old adage that something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it probably applies here. There's a certain subset of owners who have no interest in a toilet or shower in their camper--particularly at the cost of storage. If you market it well and are willing to hold out for that certain buyer, you might find it's "worth" more than you think.
Not to mention that 2015 was an excellent vintage for TABs. ;-)
Good luck!
Re: Average Age
My wife and I will be 74 this year and are 1 week away from a 5000 mile round trip from Ohio to Glacier NP and Yosemite NP. We tow a 2021 T@b 400 now, but towed a 2007 Dutchman T@b around the country from 2009 to 2016.
Re: Additional, portable solar panel
I installed an additional solar charger and a MC4 connector in the nautilus cubby.
