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.

Truck:
* new under valve cover harnesses and new valve cover gaskets.
* Added a 200 amp shunt between alternator and camper for a digital amp meter.
* Prewired for torklift hidden power with anderson plug.
Camper + truck:
* rewired battery charging wires to awg 1/0.
* Installed a 200 amp mega fuse with holder in the battery compartment.
* removed the recalled sure power 1315 100 amp battery separator and contacted the manufacturer for an upgrade to 1314 200 amp while changing out. The 200 amp will be better with the 1/0 wiring and uni-directional will be better with solar. The new one is on its way.
To do:
* finishing the amp meter job (making hole in dashboard and wiring the meter)
* installing an emergency start switch to connect to the sure power 1314-200Amp
* installing a torklift hidden power with a Trojan 27TMX battery. Should arrive at the end of December.
* placing another mega fuse of 200 amps in or on top of the torklift hidden power box, so it's as close to the battery as possible.
* Placing the sure power 1314-200amp in the engine compartment as soon as it arrives.
* Replace electric element of my Suburban water heater. While doing the rewiring job, I must have switched on the electric heater by accident and since it was winterized, it was empty. Normally I use the little switch on the outside, but unfortunately I didn't this time...
