Re: Backing up with Al-ko surge brakes;12 volt battery required to get the Norcold 3-way fridge to work
Here's a video on the AL-KO surge brakes, can any of the early Dutchmen T@b owners confirm that's what they have ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwYRgFA2vBc
Re: Backing up with Al-ko surge brakes;12 volt battery required to get the Norcold 3-way fridge to work
As for the fridge, it does need 12V to operate on propane or DC (obviously, doh!). I *believe* the early style (push buttons for mode selection) also need it for AC operation. Hooking up to shore power should provide 12V power via the converter which should make all three modes work unless there is something wrong on the power side.
Troubleshooting steps: Trailer connected to shore power, do the 120V AC power outlets work ? If not, check breakers in the power distribution. Do 12V interior lights work ? If not, double check breaker for the converter, then DC fuses.

Re: Towing with a Ranger
For those with two piece adjustable hitches I recommend getting a pair of hitch-tighteners to all but eliminate any nerve wracking play at the receiver and the two adjustable parts of the hitch.

Re: Black water transfer tank with pictures
Dale, once you've finished draining the blackwater into your transfer tank, how do you pull the tank off the drain pipe and stand it up without spilling? Or is there enough spare room in the tank to not overflow while lying upside down?

Re: Which Electric Tongue Jack to get
A month ago I did the "Electric Tongue Jack for Less Than a Buck" mod and it was easy (for me). @Tross2023 do what's best for you.
Re: Pump not pressurizing - dry camp valves stuck?
I checked the filter, unscrewed, very clean, screwed back on making sure it is threaded correctly.
Checked all the connectors and hoses on the back of the panel but will check again.

Description: Miscellaneous resources for owners of Dutchmen built T@Bs. North American T@Bs were built by Dutchmen from 2004 to 2009. Like their European counterparts, Dutchmen T@Bs were equipped with surge brakes rather than the electronic brakes found on later models manufactured by Pleasant Valley/nüCamp.
