Re: Breakaway switch 2021
@Colorado_Bruce - during a complete disconnect, the TaG electric brakes are powered by the house battery. The breakaway pin removal triggers the brakes to lock up. Trailers that do not have a house battery (like a utility trailer) generally have an alternate power source to power the brakes in a breakaway scenario.
Re: Yakima roof rack replacement parts
Go to REI, Rack-N-road, or any sporting goods store that sells Yakima racks and they can set you up. You just need the round load bars. Heck, you might have some luck on Craigslist or Play-it-again Sports. You want your bars to be at least the width of your T@G's roof (personally, I'd go a little wider since your fenders are already "clearancing" if you plan on putting a Yakima Skinny Warrior basket up there. It need to overhang outboard slightly so as to not prevent opening the fan fully.
Re: See you around!
Thanks for your years of dedication to the forum. All the best -
Re: See you around!
Thanks for all you have done for the community, Sharon.
In my sort journey with the T@G crowd you have been a lighthouse and a generous fount of knowledge.
With gratitude and respect, I hope our paths cross somewhere "out there."

Re: Tagxl 2018 fridge slide drawer
Same type issue with my 2018. It is the screw(s) causing the issue. Look hard (really hard) and I would bet you will find a screw in the track.once removed and put back in place, it should solve the problem. I backed out each screw and put glue on threads. Reiserted screws all the way and have not had any repeat issues. (Don't over tighten)
Best of luck.
Best of luck.

Go to Auto Zone. Get one of their cheap 99¢ car wash sponges. Cut it in half.
Et Voila! Perfect size for stuffing up the cowbells, and you've got one for each side.
Re: Storage box for the front rack
I replaced the factory nüCamp tongue box on my T@G with a pickup truck bed box from Home Depot. Tons more storage!
Re: Breakaway switch 2021
Have not opened mine, but pretty sure it is the junction box from the 7 round that is seen in this thread.
Re: Converting to Lithium in a ‘22 Tag
I put in a 100Ah Renogy battery in my 2018 T@G and can run my Norcold refrigerator for up to 4 days without solar. I rarely use my Fantastic vent fan because it draws more power (up to 55 watts) than I want spend. I may use it for a few minutes only. As needed, I typically use a 9" usb battery powered fan on a timer for maybe 2-5 hours a night. No ding on my T@G battery.
I recently bought a BougeRV 12V 30 Quart (28L) Portable Fridge ($209) as a second fridge. It is efficient and with 100Ah battery my tests show 4-5 days usage without solar.
I would suggest putting in a lithium battery between 100-140Ah. For the refer put in what fits.
For charging phones, I typically use a USB power bank. Same as I use with my 9" fan. Battery management can be a challenge. Solar panels are easy to bring into the mix, which can greatly extend your off-grid stay. I have done 10 days in the desert, but ran out of consistant sun, so I had to call it quits. (Planned 12 days) I now have a self made power station with 100Ah lithium, Victron solar controller and 500 watt inverter.
Going cross country (San Diego-North Carolina) at the end of May. Will need shore power for dog AC when we are at White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns, and after that who knows.
I plan on bringing a 100-watt renogy solar suitcase, 50 watt Renogy portable panel and 45-watt EcoFlow solar panel.
As far as converter, mine (not lithium rated) will charge my lithium battery to around 94%. I bring a small Eco-Worthy 10Amp to get up to what I want/need.
You could put in more than 140Ah, but then fitting everything in becomes the challenge. If it fits and you want, then go for it.
Changing from lead acid to lithium made a world of difference. After my first 100Ah Renogy battery ($800), I have purchased two 100Ah LiTime 100Ah trolling batteries. The last one I bought cost me $203. Now I have 300Ah to use if I really wanted.
I recently did testing with and was able to run my AC for 4.5 hours with 100Ah. Gives me a option I previously did not have.
Continue to do your research, run searches on this forum and enjoy the camping experience.
