Make sure the front of the radiator is clear of bugs and crud. You could try spraying water under pressure through the radiator from back to front to clear dirt as well. If that doesn't work or if your coolant isn't clear, a flush would be my next go to. Make sure the thermostat is replaced when you do the flush. I don't…
Some people have managed to get dual batteries in the driver's side, and there have been mentions of batteries on the passenger side. Pictures are hard to come by, though, but this thread has a couple of pictures of dual lithiums on the driver's…
@Mellow_Yellow, you can't run your air conditioner or microwave off your battery anyway, so those appliances will not impact your battery capacity in any way. What you actually "need" will be determined by several factors unique to your own situation. I camped my first season with the cheap group 24 wet cell that came with…
A question was asked about what fuses are in the T@B. Thought it might be useful to have a thread about it. Fuse Inventory: 2014 T@B S M@xx with Alde Heat and Norcold 3163 3-Way refrigerator. At Battery:* 1x - 20 Amp ATC Blade Fuse (yellow) At Converter:* 4x - 10 Amp ATC Blade Fuse (red) * 1x - 20 Amp ATC Blade Fuse…
Fixed. Not a straight pull like I had imagined, as I had to gain access to all routes of the cable, cut zip ties and take up cable clamps. I had to take an additional cover off in the closet, that covered the air duct going to the bed area, and access a nest of wires zip tied behind the air conditioner duct. Once the zip…
Apologies in advance. This is slightly off topic. I replaced the Danby A/C in my T@B a couple years back. Got an LG 6500BTU instead of 5000BTU for the TX heat for $160 on sale, and it's also more efficient since it has about the same draw on the inverter as the old one. And it has a remote and Eco and Dry mode. Holding up…
Just a public service advisory... if you have a somewhat higher power inverter... like 2000-4000W... consider buying a spare one when you find them on sale. I have a couple lower power cigarette lighter type inverters I've had for decades. No problems. But once I wanted to power espresso makers, heaters, and air…
I looked through the manual and maintenance material before I started. It appears the refrigerator is designed for a zero space enclosure. That's why it draws air from the front, under the unit and exhausts out the front. I didn't find any corrosion in the compressor area. Just a lot of rust in the front. Mineral Wells…
Thanks for the wiring diagram and this conversation. I am doing a similar upgrade to my 2018 TAB 400 in the next couple months. I have 2 x 12v 300ah (BMS is 200a max) Lifepo4 batteries that I am running in series (24v). I already have 300w of flexible solar panels on the roof run parallel. I am replacing the stock (Zamp…
Winterization (from T@B 400 manual) Operating in Freezing Conditions can damage piping and equipment if camper is not winterized. Always winterize your camper if you are camping in below freezing temperatures. Propane for the appliances will work down to 44 degrees below zero (-44°). The windows have weep holes, which…
