This question had me thinking for a while, and I have some ideas. The short answer is, unplug your laptop and work as long as possible from the computer's built-in lithium batteries. Laptops get hot. Hot things waste energy. charging hot things=bad. This could be a "zero-sum game" because you can waste heat energy with the…
Edited my original post for updates. Proud new owner of T@B 320-S Boondock 2020. Got the solar panel option, a backup camera, upgraded the fan (thanks to this forum recommending that one, it's a game changer), got my WeBoost so I can still work from the road on longer trips, purchased a Honda EU2200i generator. I think…
We recently bought our Tab and put 2K miles on it over the past two months, so here's my thoughts and data: The Subie OB 3.6 got more juice then you need. Like some other said in this forum, you don't feel like you are towing when on highway, just need to keep remind yourself you are towing a Tab behind or you will easily…
I recently set up a 100 ah BB and a 720 watt EcoFlow River Pro power station. I briefly ran my WFCO off of the EcoFlow power station and everything worked well. I didn't try to charge the BB, mainly because if I were to do any charging, it would be the other way around. However, it is possible, but not efficient. Direct DC…
MikeT, we tow a 320s with a 4 cylinder 2012 4wd stick tacoma. Much of the time you just put the pedal to the floor and see what speed you can coax out of it. Its stressful passing trucks on start of inclines to maintain inertia at 60 and then pulling right and crawling in third for the latter half while everyone whizzes…
UPDATE - Problem solved. Wanted to update this thread. Quick refresher, since switching TOW vehicles, we have been unable to get our Norcold 3-way to run solely on DC (battery). At one point last year we had the circuit board replaced. During that process, the tech installed a "blue" wire from the circuit board to a hot…
@Verna Long time, so see! Biochem person here with some organic and inorganic chem in Masters (PhD was Microbiology - all of that chem in action!). @Denny16 's comment was correct. No interaction between metal and rubber. The interaction is between metals with the sitting fluid, glycol. The formulations of the glycol will…
Over these first 4 years (has it been that long already?), most of our T@B camping was in Virginia state parks where we never had any electrical issues (that I know of, but how would I know for some things like voltage issues?). Now that we've camped at all 23 of them that allow RVs, and we are planning a trip using…
That's one of the main reasons I made the switch. Too many gadgets! I am finding out that many of the onboard devices have controller apps that can be downloaded to the head unit. I am also finding out that a few of the apps I've tried require portrait orientation and either work poorly or not at all in landscape mode. I…
So, we accepted delivery of our 2020 T@b400 Boondock Lite on May 24, and I’ve since been out in it 11 nights of the first 14 we’ve owned it! Less than 24 hours after getting it we were up at the Buffalo Creek group camp for two nights to do some mountain biking, then home for 2 nights, which allowed a trip to the Container…
