How do your make your TC your own?
What does it take for you to feel that your newly acquired TC is uniquely yours? For me it's improvement projects. Since getting our 2002 Northern Lite 10-2 CD last year, the projects are: (1) buil...

Our '98 Lance is getting long in the tooth. We made a tough decision to patch it up instead of buying a new one. The tough part is I really wanted a new XP camper to ride into the sunset. This summer I added to the old clunker:
A new PD4645 converter with charge wizard
200 watts of solar,
a new camper battery (1-group 27 is the only one that will fit)
a lot of 1" closed cell block foam, foil both sides,(to ****** the release of gasses in the bubbles in the foam) onto the inside of the useless front window;completely covering the pass through window; around the Prop tank, inside; the floors of cabinets that bottom to the floor or over fender area; the wall behind the top bunk; the wall behind the upper cabinets. Gorilla has a new, "sticks to anything" glue cartridge that seems to work. My right arm is not much use any more so I left it as collateral to buy the glue.;I used foil tape that has a long, long stick life. Still, single pane windows are not good for what we do. A couple years ago I cut a carpet remnant for the floor with a rubber pad underneath.Jeanie has collected a couple dozen refrigerator magnets from N.P.'s and such that adorn our range hood. I put a turnstile on the range exhaust flap to keep it from flapping in the wind. Early on I put a cable connection right thru the wall for our little 9" TV on long trips.
In reality, most of the upgrades of our truck camper were to the truck. And most of that was drivetrain related. I'm thinking the Lance 165-s's days are numbered. It won't be worth selling; just take it to the dump. It will go out just like me, totally used up and not worth a thing. A fellow professor at Long Beach State, who had many new ball joints put into his skeleton just to stay afloat told me he told his kids upon his death to remember him by making a wind chime out of all his titanium parts.
