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.

Bagged and tarp'd the camper until next use.
Bagging is getting easier - I only have to get on the roof one time to layout the bag.
The tarp is put on by throwing a heavier rope over the roof middle - its attached to the middle draw string - then pulling the tarp up and over the side of the camper.
This is easy to do because the bag already smooths out potential snags.
Next, from the ground, I use an extension pole (for window washing) to poke and prod the tarp corners and edges into position.
The draw strings are extra long to help in the endeavor.
With no wind, it takes about ten minutes to get the tarp on.
I prefer to have a few loose tarp edges so that breeze can lift and billow the tarp - it air circulates and tosses any accumulated moisture.
Tarp is cheap and has a one to two year life span.
