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.

Well, technically I didn't do it, but I was the research person, the purchasing agent and the motivator.
My husband did the up-grade to the Rieco-Titan electric jacks with the lovely little remote. HOW COOL!!! The weather broke for a few days so we could uncover it and he could get it done between midnight shifts and minimal sleep.
The next project is some kind of awning over the back door. I did order this Kelty http://www.kelty.com/p-720-tailgater-ipa.aspx?category=tents-shelters pretty much on a whim. It was a little cheaper. REI's return policy looked good so if it doesn't work I'll just fire it back to them. My (my husband's) problem is going to be how to anchor it. I want something to go a little over the back edge and fasten on top of the camper. The two piece door on the Bronco is a source of concern for me. I can see this being a "leak site". I also think that if it is not high enough for us, I can buy some longer poles or take them from our tent. I thought this might give us a covered area to wipe human and dog feet before going into our teeny-tiny camper. I think my next choice was the ARB.
Next question, has anyone mounted any kind of storage boxes/containers on the outside (back) of a TC? I have considered some kind of wire basket thing to keep the weight down and just bungie stuff in. I got a cool porta-potty thing that folds into a case that is 19x14x5 and I thought if I could just find something to haul that in I would be happy. Any ideas or concerns?
Thanks in advance.
