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.

Made a gawdawful mess when I opened up the motor for my Shurflo comfortbreeze. It had stopped running again, so I decided to see what was going on, inspect the carbon brushes and what not.
When I pulled it open, about three pounds of worn carbon brush dust poured out all over everything. It wouldn't have been so bad, if I could have gotten the motor unplugged, but as it was, I had to do it while the motor was still in place, so it rained down all over me, the table and the floor.
That stuff is not something you can simply vacuum up, either, it embeds itself and stains any surface, so it took alot of scrubbing to get it cleaned up and the socks I had on are likely a lost cause, but, the upside is the fan is working again, for how long, I have no clue, but it's work like it did before :).
Matt,
When you had it apart you should have added in a plug to the 12 VDC line to the motor. Then if you ever need to do it again you could just unplug it and take it outside to work on.
I'm not certain, but I believe there is some kind of attachment point/plug already on the unit, but I couldn't get a clear view of it from inside and it didn't want to wiggle loose, so rather than risk damaging the plug or the wires, I just left it and worked with it hanging down from the opening.
If it starts to have problems again, I'll at that point be contacting Shurflo for information to the motor replacement or information on how to remove the motor properly from the factory assembly without damaging the plug.
