Re: Nucamp /Alde service in Colorado
Hi @josiet. Welcome! I’m in Denver. I was researching Alde service in Colorado for an issue that I was eventually able to resolve myself. But before that I found and made an appointment with a place in Colorado Springs for service. I can’t find the email but I think it’s Sun City Trailers https://www.suncitytrailers.com/. I found them by searching for Nucamp Cirrus (their truck camper that also has the Alde) dealers/service.
I also remember getting referred to TransWest which has a few locations in Colorado. I know I called them but can’t remember if they could service Alde. I know these options aren’t close to SS but hope this helps!
Re: CSS is at the top of my (most recent) RV search
We finally got around to setting up the tailgate awning today. There may be some benefit to adding pipe-insulation or pool noodles on the tailgate corners. @StepheninDen have you had any issues there?
Re: Battery Not Holding Charge
Not unusual for a dealer installed lead acid battery to fail after 3 years. You don’t say how long you Boondock, but, many casual boondockers get by with a 100 AHr battery. AGM will get you at least 50 AHr and a lithium battery will get you almost 100 AHr of use.

Well done. Thanks for updating us.
Re: Awning for T@B 320 Boondock
As Tabaz noted, attaching guy lines to the trailer will result in the visor being flipped over the trailer in a moderate wind. Not recommended. Either stake it or weight the lines with water anchors (at least 40 pounds each for moderate wind).PNWtabber said:After reading up on many of the options, I am reconsidering a visor instead of an awning, since it doesn't necessarily require ground staking, looks like the guy lines can be attached to the trailer??? It also sounds like it might be the easiest to put up. Pahaque says theirs is waterproofed. I had avoided looking at visors because I had read you can't open the trailer door fully with a visor attached. Ugh, decisions, decisions.
You cannot fully open the door with anything in the keder rail as far as I’m aware. (And FYI...the door shouldn’t be fully open if running a 2018-2020 fridge on propane, because you’re blocking the vents.)
Re: Generator No Longer Powers Cool Cat w/ Soft Start
Quick update. Replaced the carburetor and all is fine. Somewhere in that old carb is a clog but I can’t find it. Paid $37 for a new carb but I guess it’s cheaper than having a mechanic look at it…and now I know how to disassemble and work on it now.
Re: Issues with TAB400 Air Conditioner
Level is not critical for cooling but is for draining condensate. If anything, a little lean to the AC side helps assure the catch pan drains toward the outlet tubes.
Re: Need help with Maxxair Maxxfan upgrade
I just installed a 7500K on my 2022 Tab 320S. I was surprised to find out the original fantastic fan was not screwed to the roof. It was glued with some clear glue and looked like hot glue. I did not install the screw that is right above the power cables to avoid damaging them. One screw did not make any difference in the sturdiness of the flange. I also purchased stainless steel self-tapping screws at Home Depot: same size, but self-tapping. The screws included with the fan were too soft, and even though I drilled pilot holes, they were bending, and I was afraid one would break. On the inside, I used one of the self-tapping screws to drill the pilot hole for the screws included with the Maxxair flange. Just don't drill all the way through so the hole is not too big for the screw. I added a magnetic blackout cover when I didn't want any light coming in through the translucent lid. 
Re: I kiled the cat
The condenser probably got way too hot and couldn't turn the refrigerant into liquid any longer. Turning the "cat" off and let it cool down made the process work again.
