New Owners of Older T@G

MrGneissGuy

Hello,

My wife and I had been looking at teardrops for quite a while and kept putting it off; partly because of being unsure how much we'd actually use it to buy new (especially considering some makes cost upwards of $40k). Then we found a 2015 T@G at a dealership for a good price and picked it up. Name TBD (there's a split in the family between two names).

We've spent the last few weekends cleaning, testing, and setting everything up. We're heading out for a short test run this weekend to a relatively close state park, in a not necessarily ideal forecast, but should be fun nevertheless.

I know I'll be hitting folks up for information (I cannot find a manual for this model year anywhere), probably first regarding the battery and connecting solar panels. But I'll save that for after this weekend and after I've had a chance to search these forums.

It says 2017 but I dont think your 2015 is different.

Original owner 2015 here. No manual came with it. Check your bearings and get them greased up. Pop off the cap on the wheel cover, remover the rubber cap and pump the zirk.

Probably a good idea to raise each tire in turn as you grease so you can rotate the tire a few turns while you're lubing. Use a paper towel or shop rag to catch the old grease as it pumps out. There's a video on the NuCamp site that shows how to use the same side stabilizer and the tongue jack to raise the tire. Chock the opposite wheel to play it safe. I've done it many times on my 2016..

Remember to NEVER jack up under the axle, always use the frame or RAS's idea. I remover the hub every other year and inspect, had to replace a race this past year. Also the bearing seal is a single flange from the factory, etrailer sells a double flange and it also comes with their dexter bearing kit.
