So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?
I saw these threads in some of the other Open Roads RV Forums, but didn't see one for TCs. I'll start... I installed Interior LED puck lights and a 12v power outlet.

Replaced the incandescent interior bulbs with LED lamps. Picked these up on eBay

The seller raised the price since I purchased. I got these for $1.99 ea with free shipping. I see the price is now $2.19, still a heck of a deal. They did sort of trickle in one at a time over the last week or so after a two week wait, but for the price I'm not complaining. Bought a few extra just in case but they've all been good so far. Only caveat is they are polarity dependent, but that's not too hard to figure out. I plan to use a pair to replace the high tail light on the back of the truck cab. I have a boot for the pass through window and on an earlier trip I was stuck in traffic for an extended period and the heat from the brake lights built up under the boot and distorted the plastic lens/housing. Since then I've been unplugging the high brake light before loading the camper, but with these that shouldn't be necessary.
Old incandescent
New LED
The LEDs are a cooler light but plenty bright. Ran a test and the incandescent draws roughly 1.3 amps, the LED's 93 milliamps (.093 amps).
