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.

Dweikert, great response.
Thanks. I often try to put seeds out there for others to consider, in making their own changes. Just as you have done with your own sharing, of your installation.
In a similar type situation, where I needed to install something vertical, on the thin wall strata, I took another sheet of Plywood, bolted the item on this plywood surface and then attached to the wall using a Z and Square Screw pattern, to spread the attachment across a broader surface. It is good to plan ahead, for future installation. But, let me ask you this, in your plan of an inverter installation. Won’t you be concerned if there is a catastrophic failure of your water pump/accumulator putting water in proximity to your electrical appliance (inverter)? Or Winterizing or draining of your water system?
I agree with you on the lifespan of an OEM Water pump. That is why I carry a spare and use it to transfer potable water into my in house Potable Water Tank, while it is sitting in reserve. But, I have used my water pump, on a daily basis, for 59 months with no failure. Food for thought.
Since I am in extreme boondocking situations,95% of my time, one of the things constantly on my mind, is water conservation. Funny thing happened last summer, I was camped within 8 feet of a potable water faucet and suddenly realized; “Hey I can have a really long shower and use as much water as I want!” But, I got over that feeling really quickly and my sudden Gluttonous thoughts.
For me, I travel on a lot of roads, much like the “storied” road to the Racetrack, in Death Valley. The pounding, from the road, does some amazing things to things inside the camper, as well as the leading edges/fenders to my 8X14 enclosed trailer. But, I will never stop traveling the roads less traveled, just make things exist better for when I am.
