Re: Changes to Forum Appearance Pending
I flipped the switch to the new theme today. Things look a bit different, but so far nothing seems to have blown up or melted down. Fingers crossed.
Please poke around and comment here if anything seems amiss!
Changes to Forum Appearance Pending
The layout and appearance of the T@G forum is governed by a "theme" that is no longer supported. Once the switch to a newer theme is made, the forum will look different. Navigation functions may change a bit, but all user information and content should be preserved.
Those of you who access the forum on mobile devices may have noticed a change some time ago. I believe the pending change will result in the desktop site looking very similar to the mobile site.
I wish I could provide more information. I'll be tinkering with adjustments in the next several days. Please feel free to comment here if you have any questions or concerns.
Re: Changes to Forum Appearance Pending
Seems to work fine here, and I like the new look.
Re: Devices powered by Inverter
It does seem somewhat strange as to how the dealer setup the power system. I would contact them and find out why they wired it in such a fashion.
Do all of the 12-volt items work when the inverter is on?
Have you heard or checked to see if the WFCO power converter is powered on when the inverter is on?
They may have wired in such a manner as to bypass the WFCO converter to save on power consumption.

Re: Powerstation to power the campers DC system directly.
@josephkruger;
I have a 2018 standard 5-wide nuCamp T@G with a 12-volt lithium battery (Renogy).
Two methods come to mind.
My first thoughts would be to back feed from your Bluetti 12-volt accessory port directly into one of the 12-volt accessory ports of your T@G. (inside or galley)
i.e. use a male-to-male 12-volt cigarette lighter/accessory adapter. (suicide cord) This would feed into your converter (WFCO?) and should feed to all other 12- volt sources, such as refrigerator and USB outlets.
You would want to limit your capacity usage as to only draw 120-180 watts (10-15 Amps). Your biggest draws would be your refrigerator, FanTastic vent fan and water pump.
»» It would be important to turn off your main electrical battery switch, (do this first before connecting up the Bluetti) otherwise your Bluetti would want to charge up the trailer battery. I would think you should have minimal issues. Always carry some extra fuses for the converter and the accessory cord.
Another option (not the best) would be to use a 12-volt male accessory cord to a SAE adapter. (This assumes you have one on (SAE) the side of your tongue box) In this case the main battery switch would need to be on. The Bluetti would then be charging up the trailer battery as well as providing power to the entire trailer. This method would drain the Bluetti faster. In my case this may not be a bad option with my lithium battery, since I can shut off my battery, eliminating any attempt of the Bluetti charging it. With your marine lead-acid battery, you do not have the option to shut off the battery, besides cable disconnect.
My best upgrade was replacing my marine lead-acid battery with lithium. Costs have come way down. For $200-$250, you can get a very good lithium battery these days.
Good luck on whatever decision you make.

NC NuCampers
Hi All. My wife and i recently purchased a 2026 NuCamp T@b 400 Boondock Black edition We’ve been out 3 times in the past 4 months and love it. Our youngest (12) comes with and he’s enjoyed it too. Looking forward to reading through tthe forums!
Re: dim left turn / brake lights
By the way, i solved my orriginal problem. I found some white corrosion on the red wire terminator in the main junction box. Cleaned it and added some dielectric grease.
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: 2024 TAG SE aka simple edition
Yeah i decided on it and take delivery next week sometime. The rogue is rated at 1500/135 so this is well below my allowed tow rating. Of course when I mod it out I’ll take into consideration how much things weigh and keep the tongue weight where it should be. But honestly with AWD I can tow 2000 pounds so I’m not worried at all. Just trying to keep it simple and use camping gear I already have for cooking and cleaning. Will def wanna take some t to Cape Lookout National Seashore to camp on the southern OBX beaches. Also bought a 3500i craftsman generator from Lowe’s so that I can have ac and heat if needed.
