I always use one on my city water connection; a habit I got into years ago when I hauled a pop-up around. It's cheap insurance.
I use mine when rarely attached to water. It is always attached to one of tree 10' hose sections. I usually just fill up my tank and use that instead of shore water.
I also went with a 100Ah lithium cell to replace the 100Ah lead-acid lump without having to also replace the Victron box and/or upgrade to a more-bigger-more-expensiver power center (the lithium-enabled 30-amp WFCO was hard enough to justify). I'm considering the future long-term possibility of adding another 100Ah cell in parallel with the first one, but I want to finish tweaking the original system first, to determine if I really do need that much capacity.
Y'all were right. On closer inspection, the wheel had broken the wire. If this hasn't happened to you yet, be forewarned and get under the fender behind the wheel and secure those running light wires well away from the tires.
Here is a post of the things I have purchased for my T@G.
Out of all, my lithium battery upgrade was the most beneficial.
I have a 2018 Tag Outback and live in Vancouver Canada and am also new to the site. I am looking forward to doing some mods to my setup so will be on this site as there a lot of interesting things to ponder! Here are a couple of recent pictures of my camping at Christina Lake this last summer.
and 15A male to 30A female adapter and maybe 50A male to 30A female in case there's no working 30A power at your camp site. The 15A M to 30A F and a 10 or 12 Ga extension cord also allow you to plug in at home. Both normally available at Walmart or Northern Tool. I've never installed any moisture barrier. Keeping a window or two cracked and ceiling fan on low exhaust when we're in the teardrop has always reduced the humidity to a comfortable level.
I’ll start…
A water pressure regulator is essential for use at home or while camping with city water. Usually it is recommended to see how you camp before investing in too many upgrades like solar, lithium, etc. If you typically camp with hook ups, you may not need any or much solar. Some kind of leveler (Bal or Anderson vs blocks), chocks, stabilizer pads, water hose/jugs, extension cord(s), volt meter to check the battery, a surge protector/EMS of some kind for use while on shorepower.
The heater runs via 120v.
