So, there are 2 wires coming off the current interstate Lead Acid battery. There is no inverter, and I wish to upgrade to a lithium LFP 100 amp battery. The 40 amp battery protection fuse is just fine and I do not need to add that 100 amp ANL fuse, is that correct? No.. I do not want to add any more load to the entire system I simply want to boondock more days is all, and I have a Bluetti AC200L for the AC needs! My model year of the Tab has the Lithium auto detect in the converter. Please confirm I won't overload my 2022 Tab 320S Boondock with 105 watt solar panel by simply upgrading the battery to 100amp lithium LFP! Thank you so much! Well for safety sake I should install that ANL fuse on the positive battery wire.
Thanks for your questions and suggestions. The battery is a typical car battery and the camper year is 2014. I have a Bluetooth battery app that measure battery level. I’m sure it’s not exact but it seems to show general levels.
In terms of things left on, it’s just the stereo display light, smoke and CO detector, and fridge light. I have a master kill switch at the battery but it seemed to turn off the fridge (running on propane but indicator light obviously needs power). I wonder if you can run the fridge on propane with battery disconnected.
So perhaps I have a parasitic drain or need to try another battery level monitor.
Such a disappointment when I called the dealer I purchased from-- Sun City Trailers in Colorado Springs CO-- because I need a couple of parts-- only to be told they are no longer a Tab dealer & that Nucamp switched to Windish RV! I really liked my dealer & his service guys are the best. IMHO Nucamp made a huge mistake. They should have done some more research on customer reviews of Windish in Colorado-- Windish would be near the bottom of my list for purchase-- would not ever take my unit to them for service & I'm not going to by parts from them either. I'll have to find another dealer out of state to order parts for me. I hope someone forwards this discussion to someone at Nucamp. I have referred people to Sun City & would tow my trailer from north of Denver to Colorado Springs for service. Now I have no idea who I'm going to get service from! You made a big mistake Nucamp 🤔. Anyone have a suggestion of a dealer outside of Colorado who won't gouge on parts & will drop- ship? AARGgggg
This is my first trailer for camping, but have always done a lot of tent camping in state parks. When I look at pictures of many RV parks they look barren and packed with RVs. I guess I will use them, but only as a second choice. The state parks in Texas I have looked in to don't seem to have restrictions on tents, but space may be a problem.
One thing that can cause excessive noise is if the hoses to/from the water pump are touching or close to the wall, normal shaking during pump operations can cause the hoses to bang against the wall. If you can access the pump hose with the water running, you might find that the noise if reduced when you hold one or both of the hoses. While I have not done this yet, some split water pipe insulation from a hardware store wrapped around the hoses could help a lot.
