How I Power My TAB 320 Teardrop Camper Boondocking! 

Just a Nucamp update. Nucamp recommends that you change the glycol fluid every 2 to 3 years. Doing it yourself saves you a bunch of time and money.

The 360 comes with a 3000 watt inverter, and 200 w solar, with cassette toilet. Im new and learning what im gonna need. This was Helpful ty

Great setup you have there. Until I hit the road again, I do enjoy living vicariously through you so keep the videos coming.

The photo that this video had on the RU-vid page showed a set of portable, foldable solar panels. But they weren’t mentioned in the video. Why was that?

Liked the video and the solar setup. Have a small 265 amp hour Bluetti with a 100 watt fold up panel. Works great for the 12 volt electric blankets. Glad yo see you back of there.

Great video! I’m getting a 2023 tab 320 boondocks…had the same idea to use a bluetti AC180…and will drop a battle born lithium in front…wondering if the bluetti will top off the rv battery while it’s plugged into the 30amp receiver.

I have an AC180 You're right about air conditioning. It takes allot of power to run air. I do like the idea of Lithium batteries. It's a much better way to go and I'm considering piggybacking another AC180 to the one I have.. I've got 400 watts of solar and I've been happy with it so far.

2:41 I'm not sure exactly how you might have killed the initial battery that came with your tab, but im fairly certain it wasn't trying to turn on the Alde system on electric mode. The electric settings 1k ans 2K are for shore power, they never draw energy fir heat from the 12V system. The Alde system only uses 12V power for the control systems and pump. The heat is provided by either 120V AC power or propane.

I have a small 2019 Geo Pro 12 SRK, no air but a mic, 3 way fridge, hot water (propane, electric) Maxair fan, TV, stereo, 20 gallon fresh water, a 20,000 but furnace (way over kill) and a 6 gallon grey tank and no bathroom. I bring that with me. I have a 100 watt panel on the top, factory installed and a 90 watt suitcase on the ground with a 40 foot cable so I can move it around while I'm in the shade. I have 2 lead acid 12 volt group 24 with a total of 160 ah which I have 80 ah accessible. They say not to go below 50% charge on lead acid. These batteries are now 6 years old and still have 100% charge, I do maintenance on them regularly. Anyway, I do the same as you to allow me to go to out of the way places to camp. I have 3 solar gens, 2 - 1000 watt (1500 watt inverter) 1 - 2000 watt (2000 watt inverter). All combined I have 3600 watts of storage but you only get 2900 watts usable. I use the solar gens to run many different appliances like, air fryer, fans, electric smokers etc. It has a rear kitchen but I prefer to cook away from the camper as I mostly camp in bear country and they love the smell of bacon, lol. I use the lead acid batteries during the day and switch the battery disconnect on to isolate these batteries and plug in the solar gens during the night and have never come close to running out of power. I bring a 400 watt portable solar panel to pump up the solar gen batteries back to full everyday. I'm pushing near 70 yrs and I love the camping life. I live in northern Alberta, Canada and the mountains and country side are beautiful for sure. Thanks for the video, I like the spots you go to, alway nice. Take care and stay safe.

Hi. Just found your channel. I subscribed because it looks like you make videos for the beginner. A very concise video. Thanks. I also want to do some desert dispersed camping in the winter and the video answered some of my questions. I bought a Tag in 2020 and got the solar option; AGM battery, 100W flexible panel on roof, and wired to plug in more portable solar. One question I had is you said your heater works by plugging your solar generator into the shore power outlet. How much power does your heater draw? Is that where the two Battleborn batteries come into play? Now I’m thinking I need the battery upgrade to run that little ceramic heater the Tag came with. Am I correct in my assumption?

Great info! I'm wondering now about my two new battle born batteries in my 2018 tab 400? As it comes to the old inverter?

What type of converter did you install in your table 320. You're right about the solar panel that comes with it it's more of a trickle charger. We upgraded ours also with two battle born lithium 100 amp batteries. How about the refrigerator sure does eat up the batteries.

Wonderful to see your solar setup and to see you enjoying peace and quiet 🙌 🤩 Happy trails!😊

Is there communication way in dry booney land in case of emergency..say stranded or medical? Thanx n nice vid !

Why don't you just plug your trailer into the bluetti...

When the camper sits for a week or two, do you leave the system running or do you kill the power via the dial in the tub? Is there a way to turn off the refrigerator? Thanks

I have a similar setup. I just got a Bluetti AC240. Its has a 30 amp connection so I don’t need the adapter. I’ve been driveway testing. Can’t wait for real life use. Love your setup.

Another great video sir and looking forward to our next camping trip

Great idea. I like the simplicity of how you handle the power needs. I assume when you plug in the Bluetti to your RV you would turn off the breaker to the RV's charger, so it doesn't drain it unnecessarily.

Was nice to meet you at persimmon hill❤️

What happened to the runaway camper? I have a runaway range runner!

Do you use potable solar panels?

Nice video! I have a 2017 TAB 320 and was wondering how you are connecting the CIGS solar panels to your battery. Going through roof? tub? Thank you.

I subbed. Very good job. I just retired and plan to or hope to buy a 320 or some sort small rig for my wife and myself. SO getting simple knowledge now and looking to follow your adventures .... thankyou sir

Are you talking about the camper converter? My understanding is most converters in rv’s are built for lead acid

Have you tried the Echoflow wave 2 It’s designed to cool and heat small places on 12v dc

We have a 2019 320 that we Boondock in for several days at a time too. With a few modifications for off road, we can get to very remote locations. We utilize a portable Zamp 95w solar panel which allows us to place the trailer in the shade when available. We are both fortunate to have the 3-way refrigerators that we can run on propane. BTW, Trailer manufactures like NDC (probably our next trailer) and XPlore mount solar above their roofs on a frame. Solar panels are far more efficient at dissipating heat with air rather then a roof directly below them. Keep enjoying the desert with your T@B !

Fantastic look see into how you make it all work. Thankyou, Great segment Sir !! I've often wondered, when do trailers like this come standard with a secondary "inside the camper" shore power outlet? During heavy rain, cold or high theft area concerns, having the option to put your thousands of dollars power station inside the camper would be safer and make sense.

Hello. Just watched you with Bob. Your personality is fantastic. I'm sure you're told this a lot. I hope to get on the road and meet you. I like the TABS

Perfect!! Nice set up!!

The latest on keeping your LiFePO4 lithium batteries alive for their longest time is to only charge them between 40% to 80 or 90%, so I just use a standard Iota battery charger, and charge my 100 amp hour to 14.2 volts most of the time. I can charge it to 14.6 volts if I want, but I'm experimenting with the lower voltage idea. With a lead acid battery, you could always charge it fully at a lower voltage of say 13.8 volts, but it would just take longer. I think lithium batteries are similar.

Tell me what roof maintenance must be done on this tab to prevent leaks. Most campers I have seen requires too much work to prevent leaks. What year is this tab

When you plug in your Bluettie, does it charge up the in house battery as well as allow you to use the 110 plug ins?

That fridge is extremely power hungry, maybe see if you can fit a more efficient one. Small fridges like those used in campers shouldn't use more than 30-50 watts.

Way to keep it simple, Stephen.

Love this video! You explained this in terms I can understand. I’d love to know how you manage your water and bathroom resources when you’re out in the boonies.

Neat rocking camp chair. Looks comfy. Happy with it? Recommend? Thanks for the video.

How tall is this? Does it fit in a garage?

I just love your videos!!! What a great help they are to us 320S owners!

I saw one of your videos and thought I'd subscribe. Unfortunately, in this video you say "for Christ's sake" ! That is not smart communication right there, as you'll lose a large group of subscribers. So, I hope you do well. Cheers.
