Re: Using the Inverter - 2024 T@B400
With only a single 100ah battery and a 1200w inverter it's not meant to power a ton of things. However, you could rewire other outlets to also work with the inverter. The outlet by the television is close enough to the kitchen countertop that you could run small appliances off that outlet if needed.BillCB said:Thanks for responding. Problem solved - I hadn't seen the (tiny!) with in the bedside cubby. Shame it only powers that one outlet and the TV.
Re: Too Much Truck
This is one of those topics that at face value, kind of makes sense, but realistically, does not. That was my initial thought the first time this cycled through here and now with the big bad truck making a comeback, the same thoughts return.
Unless you are literally driving the wheels off of your 350, where is the harm in towing with it? You have more torque and more horsepower. Does that mean you will be driving like Johny Force and accelerating hard enough to pop the frame rivets in the Tab? Doubtful. If anything, the extra HP will allow you to drive more gently. Starting from a standstill on a steep hill? Ease away. If you have a Subaru TV you'd be giving it everything it has. What does the trucks suspension have to do with how the Tab is sprung? Goose egg.
Yes, the 350 could pull your 400 at 70, 80, 90 on the Interstate. Would you? Most certainly not. Judge Harvey rules in favor of the big truck. Let er rip. Go for the King Ranch.

Re: Nucamp /Alde service in Colorado
I would stay away from Windish like the plague especially the one in Longmont -- they will not even talk to you if you didn't purchase from them & they are bottom of the barrel all the way around. I have told Nucamp how bad they are & it is not good reputation for Nucamp to have them as a dealer. I think Cousins RV ( it's Longmont or Loveland I believe) can & does work on Alde & Nucamp. I called Cousins when my 320S got hail damaged & they took time to answer my questions so my first experience with them just over the phone was positive. I have not had service from them yet so I can't speak to that. TransWest, as far as I know only works on high end RVs-- think $300K - $1M.
Re: What's running my battery down?
Yeah, it's got the stock Interstate SRM-24 12v deep-cycle battery. I have the Victron app working on my phone and it shows good voltage from the solar panel. I'm just using the control panel in the RV to look at the battery level. I'm thinking maybe pulling the fuses on some things to reduce the drain, but it's hard to believe a few LEDs would run the battery down so fast.
I kiled the cat
Managed to run the ac for 48 hours unattended on a '21 tab400 cool cat with the outside cover on the intake in 100 degree heat. Is there anything I can attempt to bring it back to life? Blower blows.
Re: Extra Long Lagun Table
@Basil48192, this is from the Lagun USA website:
TMP= Table Mounting Plate
TMP= Table Mounting Plate
What size tabletop is recommended for Lagun?
- Tabletops are NOT INCLUDED with systems.
- System with Standard TMP can support up to 50 lbs & a tabletop up to 30″ x 40″.
- This includes the weight of the tabletop plus anything placed on it.
- System with Folding TMP can support up to 40 lbs. & a tabletop up to 24″ x 36″.
- This includes the weight of the tabletop plus anything placed on it.
Extra Long Lagun Table
Bought some scrap maple and walnut pieces from a local cabinet maker and made a new top for my Lagun table.
It's actually 36" long (8" longer than the original).
I'm hoping the extra length and weight on the bracket don't present any problems. Please let me know if anyone has any input. I can always cut it down if I have to. If necessary, I can cut the extra length off and attach it as a drop leaf. I'm hoping the extra length will be handy as extra prep surface for cooking.

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?
