Survey on new technology for truck campers

Need quiet fans not let the whole camp know what your business is when they sound like a C-130 taking off. Need better insulation so your not camping in crowded summers. need 3 way water pump switch with one in the bathroom. Aluminum escape hatch lids/ covers so they last. Last, they need to slightly reduce the voltage to the furnace fan since they rumble too loud and a macerator pump out not dump out with a hard to clean hole cracking corrugated sewer hose.

My fan is quiet, don't use it hardly at all and no ac either. No need. You can spec a camper with added insulation (called cold weather package). I don't have a bathroom, I use the woods, well I do have a bathroom that I've never used, it's there for the wife...

I agree with aluminum hatch covers, nit a bad idea actually. My first truck camper back in the 60's had aluminum covers....

The furnace, well, when I use it, it's limted use only and I have no idea what a macerator is and not sure I want to know. I dump my grey and black at home (when I use the gacilities, which is seldom) in a clean out next to the driveway. 20 bucks for a sewer hose don't seem to me to be excessive...

Like I said before, it's camping, not taking your home to the campground, but then, truck campers are a different breed from other RV'ers.
