I'm in the process of adding two matched 100 watt panels in series that can be moved to the site's best light. These have their own Victron controller that will be networked to the trailer's 105* watt array/controller. As stated above in the wet side of the PNW worst case I'll be lucky to get enough light for 10 watts or…
Thank you John, very helpful information. If we slept in our U model, as you do in your L, with our heads toward the door, then I could place the CPAP on the little shelf/platform the "U" has which is over the Air conditioner. This shelf is where the bathroom is on T@Bs with bathrooms. It is about the height of and end…
Most inverters for marine and RV use are available as 1200, 2000 and 3000 watt units, only 2500 I could find was Victron inverter/charger combo units, most of which are designed for residential and commercial Solar applications, and would be too large for a TaB install. I am also looking to upgrade the inverter on our…
My battery of choice is the Interstate brand. There is a store close by and Jon will take all the time it takes to help and explain. Customer service means a lot to me. I first walked into his store late on a Saturday afternoon a few years ago after my SUV battery had died and I needed to jump it to get to his store. Even…
After our trip up to Vermont last Fall, we knew it was necessary to increase our "off the grid" capabilities. Hours of research and nearly reaching the end of the internet, my DW suggest's perhaps we can place the pair of batteries inside the stock TAB storage area and relocate the propane. Low and behold, the TAB comes…
I haven't been around for awhile and had my Tab Outback in a heated garage all winter. Took it out and put in driveway to get ready for spring and found out the propane would not work for the alde on thermostat. It has been on a battery tender all winter and showing 13 volts +-, I have read everything in the forum I can…
I was able to add the Haloview RD10 rear camera to my 2022 TAB 400 Boondock without drilling into my trailer. First, I had bought the camera after viewing a youtube video and before I took delivery of my new camper. The problem with this camera is that it was made for a longer trailer and had a separate transmitter. SO,…
Finished the Platform upgrade with a couple inexpensive Tool boxes from Menards. The large center handles weren’t needed so I removed them and noticed I had a nice square empty spot to fill. I searched for a little storage box that would fit and found one but shortened it a little and added a new base to clear the Aluminum…
Trojan Grp 24 100ah 11.30x6.73x9.8 Trojan Grp 27 115ah 12.80x6.73x9.8 Trojan Grp 30 130ah 13.92x6.75x9.95 The Grp 24 NOCO battery box in my 2016 T@B has an exterior foot print of 7.2x10.5. Cameo makes a box for Grp 27 and 30 that is 13.87x7.87x10.9 It was hard to measure the frame for the battery with the box in place. I…
We have a 2020 400 BDL with the 12 volt compressor refrigerator and it is my opinion that I could reduce the cycling and improve the efficiency by installing an exhaust fan in place of the battery vent hose since I installed lithium batteries. Moving the heat out that is captured inside the cabinet area to reduce the…
