#1 is not quite correct. The BAL Norco frame is not aluminum but high strength low ally steel. #2 is also not necessarily correct. NuCamp seems to have reluctantly given an answer on this and they recommended only a bolt on WDH, however we know equalizer makes brackets specifically for the BAL Norco frames and we haven’t…
@Bayliss Thanks for the info. Yeah, I went to their site as well and Trail Runners didn't even come up even though they appear to be at Amazon, Walmart and a couple of other places. I think I've researched just about every ST and LT tire that exists. There are plenty of affordable ST tires out there with E rated sidewalls,…
@richardlacroix: We have a 2015 Max-X and towed it with a 2012 Subaru Outback 6-speed manual for two seasons. The outback although a wonderful vehicle is not designed to be a tow vehicle for long camping trips. The CVT transmission that is installed in most cars today is not designed to tow small campers or trailers for…
Guys, There's two of us ( and a German Shepherd dog ) so space is a bit more important. We'll have to go to the dealer and try out the different sleeping arrangements available; I'm 5'-10" so wheel to wheel sleeping might be tight. One other question I have; Based on your tow vehicle, are any of you required to tow with a…
@dsfdogs, I believe Thomas is referring to the little black box on the middle divider (back of storage locker) in center top of the photo. Not sure what it is. The Victron solar controller is behind the locker cubby on the floor, under the fridge. It is also blue in color, not black. The inverter is also the charger for…
Depends on the towing capacity of your Tacoma. We pulled our Outback 2,800 miles last summer from AR to CO and back with a 2011 Tacoma pre-runner, 4 cyl, automatic, with no tranny cooler without any issues. Not the quickest over some passes but tolerable overall. We ran it in D, manually downshifting as necessary in the…
Hm....I'm with SAM on this one. If you "break away", you won't be getting power from your TV anymore unless you happen to get very lucky and the 7 pin doesn't get ripped from your 4 runner and the cable continues to reach the trailer as it goes bouncing down the road. It's not likely but if you lose your 400 you will be…
As @Verna pointed out, the issue is your specific configuration. If you could post what engine (4 vs 6), drivetrain (2 vs 4WD), body cab style (regular, extended, crew) and the payload capacity data from the yellow sticker on the drivers side door. This type of info is important because a 4-cyl in 2007 was rated at 3500#…
@Tea - Judi replied to your other post. She tows with a 4 runner and avoids using the frig on 12 volts. See below. jgram2 Posts: 1,062Associate Member 8:30PM 71.36.127.63@Tea We have the 3 way fridge-propane, 12V, 110 in our T@B, and never use the battery for it because it’s a hog, drawing ~3 amps/hr. While propane is very…
I am feeling the same way about the TV. We just bought our 400 in early July and have been hauling it with my pickup but I'm wanting to get our 4-Runner ready to haul it ASAP now and that's a shame... shouldn't be that way. The windows should be made to withstand much higher winds than this. This window thing is a big, big…
