Yet Another T@B Newbie

keithk26

When my wife & I became empty-nesters several years ago, we decided to revisit tent camping; something we had both enjoyed as young adults raising families. Now that we are in our mid-60's, we decided it was time to graduate to a small RV (decision hastened by the pandemic). We are retired, so we find midweek trips work best for us; no crowds or traffic to contend with. We have become somewhat dependant on electric campsites, something we never considered as tent campers. Our T@B 320s has met all of our expectations in our first six trips this summer - 2 more trips to go before we call it a year.

@keithk26  Welcome, we bought our 320S under the same circumstances as you. First time rv owners. Haven’t officially named it yet, but leaning towards “Divoc” .... covid spelled backwards !!! It helped us turn our 2020 around, allowing us to safely visit our three grandchildren who live 900 miles away, and to have a great time with our local grandchild who is 4. Have boondocked only in the driveway, so we have been electric hookup mostly as well. We carry a CPAp and worry about losing too much battery, but keep reading about battery management on this forum and will try short Boondock trips in 2021. We have the 105 watt solar setup and I have been checking the charge capabilities with the Victron app under different conditions and getting more comfortable with the performance (my non-rv neighbors probably think I’m OCD nuts always standing in front of the 320s tub holding my cell phone for readings). Learning curve in general has been steep, but a lot of down time this year for sure,  to learn something new.

welcome me to the forum and enjoy your adventures !

Before the pandemic, we thought we would only use the 320's toilet in the middle of the night. We are using it exclusively now, and have found we can go for 3 days without needing to visit the dump station. The learning curve is indeed steep - the 320 is small but sophisticated. Now that cooler weather is here we are getting acquainted with the Alde system and it's nuances. Happy (and safe) Trails!
