Re: PopT@B pictures
Twocutes, the wire racks were in the Lowe's section where they have the shelving and storage. The toilet paper holder is one that goes over the side of the tank. Since the camper potty doesn’t have a tank, I used a 1½” square x 6” long block of balsa wood (purchased at Hobby Lobby) and notched the 1½” side to accept the metal piece that would normally hang on the tank. The TP holder hangs on the wood block, which attaches to the bathroom wall using a Command Strip. The only trick when placing the whole thing under the sink is making sure there is room to replace the TP without taking the holder down. I held it in place while removing the TP core and replacing it with a new roll before sticking it to the wall permanently.

Which Trailer Lock Do You Recommend?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMu_GnNnnBEI see from previous posts some foks use a Trimax wheel lock. The Brahma wheel lock seems pretty sturdy as does Proven Industries coupler lock (might still be possible to pull the trailer, but probably too much trouble). These products all cost more than $200, all are heavy and a the wheel locks are pretty bulky. What are your thoughts?
Re: Alde reliability
New 400 owner hear browsing the list to try to fix all my problems. Good to hear that most folks are happy with the Alde, we've found it a real bummer moving to this from the forced air heater of our Hallmark Pop-up (you jump in and are warm in 4 min). It takes many hours to heat up, hot water runs out really quickly (and we have to really fiddle to get it hot enough), and now I seem to have a problem that others don't have... we get 'gas failure' and the alde stops even though there is propane. I kinda think this is due to low voltage after a few different tests, but it happened after only 2 nights of pretty conservative use (and with a solar panel). The Alde service folks are nice, but they don't seem to have a way of diagnosing whether the unit is actually working right and now I'm going to have to find time to take it hours to a dealer to hope that things can get fixed. Oh, we have a glycol leak too around the fill tank.
Anyone else have a 'gas failure' or glycol leak issue?
Thanks!

The extra storage cabinets/drawers would have been nice but that would eliminate the puppy bench!....oh nooo!
Re: Need Help - Mixing Valve Leaking
I think you might be onto something with the loose hex collar idea. It certainly can't hurt much at this point to try carefully snugging things up a little and crossing your fingers. Worst case you'll still be replacing something.
Like Verna, I have an older T@B without the mixing valve. I can't say I'm disappointed about that--while the water does come out of the Alde pretty darn hot, there is already a handy "mixing valve" located at each fixture. ;-)
If it were me I'd probably remove and bypass the valve altogether. However, the pretty darn hot I mentioned earlier can exceed 150F, so if you burn yourself you didn't get the idea from me! :-)
