Re: When to pull my Lithium ion battery? How cold is too cold?
@Sharon_is_SAM, that T@B forum was great reading material. Thanks for posting the link. I made it to there independently but got sucked into too many "interesting reads" without finding your linked thread. Among other things it solidified my smugness in having chosen a T@G and embracing the more minimalist approach to "living the dream." If batteries need removing, I only have one... Not stressing about heat system antifreeze replacement/leaking is OK with me also.
But, I digress, I'll be draining the battery a little and then disconnecting those leads (negative first!) from the battery in the next day or so.
Thanks one and All for your continued support and sharing of expertise.

Re: Backing up Tag boondock
I've had mine for almost 8 years. I have never successfully backed it into a parking space. My husband and I have been pushing it into place by hand the whole time we've owned it. No regrets. It's a lot less frustrating to move it by hand than to try backing it in.
Re: Electric Bikes
I recently took my Lectric 3.0 bikes to Zion and the Grand Canyon. Had a great time and very little problems.
Fold them up and place them into two totes. I then just slide them into the back of my RAV4. Enough room for my larger cooler, two camping crates and chairs, etc.
I look forward on taking them future trips.
Re: Electric Brake Wiring - 2021 T@G Boondocks
I did not take after pictures but I went out over the weekend to adjust. On the driver side, I heat shrunk the connection on the wire, wrapped with electric tape and added a 12 inch section of loom. I used a zip tie to loosely hold the loom to the "control arm". I left it loose to allow the loom to slide as the arm moves.
On the passenger side, those were not wire nuts. They were tapered crimps. They were not self sealing, so I cut them off and added heat shrink connections and completed the same as the driver side.

Re: Did using Vodka as antifreeze do this to my filter view cap?
I do have experience with Titos vodka just not this usage. HAHAHA. Anway, Alcohol can precipitate calcium deposits from hard water. Calcium carbonate is the main component of limescale, which can form in water systems that use hard water. Limescale can be a problem in heated water systems, and can be removed through water softening or descaling. See below.
- Calcium carbonate precipitationIn a mixture of ethanol and water, the type of calcium carbonate that precipitates depends on the ethanol concentration:
- Less than 40% ethanol: Calcite is the only calcium carbonate that precipitates.
- More than 60% ethanol: Calcite, aragonite, and vaterite can all precipitate.
- Precipitation pathwaysThe presence of alcohol can affect the pathways and morphology of calcium carbonate polymorphs.
- StabilityThe concentration of alcohol and shaking speed are the most important factors in affecting the stability of vaterite and aragonite.
New to us 2021T@G Boondock
We have just bought a little used T@G and after a couple of nights, have put it away for the winter. We plan to tour eastern Canada and, maybe, all the way to Wyoming and back in the spring. I have already found lost of helpful comments on the site. We are longtime campers but not getting any younger, looking for ward to joining the community.
New Owner - 2021 T@G Boondocks
Hi! I just completed my one year journey to research, find and purchase a teardrop trailer. We landed on Nucamp due to reliability and features.We've been tent camping with our boys for 8 years. The wife and I decided it was time to simplify our cooking and tent setup by retiring our tent and consolidating our supplies to a teardrop.
I'm looking forward to learning tips and tricks!
Re: New to us 2021T@G Boondock
When I found this site, I systematically, over several weeks, read every article in every category, printed the manuals that pertained to our T@G and filled a notebook I still carry in the T@G.
Re: Pic 2023 Boondock under bed frame?
For what it's worth, here are a few of a 2024 5w Boondock... after I sliced the bigger pieces to make it easier to access gear when inside the unit. This involved repositioning and adding a couple hinges.

2024 TAG SE aka simple edition
bought a new Nissan rogue platinum AWD that averages 20 plus towing small trailers. So I’m coming back to the NuCamp world. But on a smaller scale and have read a lot of reviews here and what lil YouTube shows.
so I’m thinking of a 2024 Tag SE.
Positives: added vista / view out the back when the hatch is open along with the added air flow. Having that area wide open allows the bedroom to have access to the kitchen area without getting out… no upper wall space for the kitchen and no inside shelving on the backside. NuCamp should make a screen with Velcro seems or even a built in slider storm window and or screen so we don’t have to make shift with mosquito netting lol
Easy and very little tow weight staying within the 2023 Nissan rogue AWD hitch and tow weight of 165 and 1500.
