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.

Pulled 2 of my jack power heads to sent back to the factory for rebuild. I opened one up last week and found the gears and bearings in like new condition. The problem was in the lower motor bearings.
The 2 good power heads pulled almost 2 amps. The noisy bad ones were pulling 4 amps. I couldn't get the motor out of the plastic case.
The factory does a complete rebuild for $60 each, so I decided to spend that time doing something else.
Contrary to a lot of posts on RV.NET, I called HappiJac and received great service. Marv at customer service/repair sent me the info necessary to do maintenance on the jacks but recommended that they do the work.
I'm in electronics and buy this kind of hardware daily. I expected to pay ~$50 each for the motors, so it's a "no brainer", for $10 more plus shipping, I'll let them rebuild them. Then I don't have to play in the grease.
