2015 T@B Outback Edition

Sorry to change the topic, sort of, but I couldn't help notice on the photo of the front window, that the plastic casing looked like it had a sag in it on the top. This was an earlier forum topic and it looks like it hasn't been corrected by the factory, at least on the Outback.

Have any of you come up with a solution to this problem?

Sable, it's one of the warranty items they are looking at on my T@b. It deems to be a consistent problem.

We were able to install two 6 volt batteries in our Diamond Plate front area with the propane mounted to the left side.

Brian...do you have much experience with how the 2 x 6volt batteries are working for you?

Just a little in the T@B.  We are going out next week for about a week to Northern CA.  I have experience in other RV's with the 6 volt batteries and loved them.

Have they reduced the size of the tongue box?.  I just measured mine ('06) and the tongue box is 30" wide and 15" deep.  I say this because before I moved my batteries inside, I had two Group 27 (Lifeline GPL-27T) installed in the tongue box area.  It was a tight fit but worked well for a year (the propane on the old ones is in the left hand rear corner of the tongue box).  

I attached a shelf in the base of the tongue box that was cut to fit all the available space (and bolted to the bracketing bars along the base of the box and 1"X1" around to hold the batteries in place) and added strapss thru the shelf.  The space managed to fit (tightly) two group 27 batteries, one horizontal along the front and as far left as possible (near the propane tank), and the second turned at a 20 degree angle and set back in the right corner.  I can't imagine that the new ones won't hold a single 27 battery, although you may have to abandon the battery holder and construct a version that will hold the battery and tie this to the bracketing to ensure nothing moves.

How much is the roof rack? I might like to add one to my 2014 S

Take a look at http://www.yakima.com/shop/racksystems/permanent-installation/tracks54-w-plusnuts.

Could these be mounted on a Tab Max. Does the Outback have additional reinforcement or is the roof the same as the Max?

Thanks!

Has anyone towed an Outback down the 4x4 roads in Death Valley? If so, which ones and how did the little T@B perform? 
Thanks!

Death Valley - Would be interested in that also. When I was there last year, many of the backroads warned to have a spare because of sharp rocks and punctures.
