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.

Your accumulator tank/pump will run much quieter if you run about 2-3 feet of flexible rubber hose before tying into the hard factory plumbing lines, on the inlet and outlet sides. That annoying pump running noise is multiplied as it carries thru the hard plastic lines. I did this mod after learning about it on this forum a few years back and I was amazed as to the results.I used to take a shower and listen to the pump run every time it kicked on. Now we hear nothing.
I'm guessing by "hard plastic" you mean PVC? The fresh water line in my camper is PEX tubing which, while not as soft as rubber, is still a flexible tubing. I wouldn't want PVC running right to the pump either. That vibration would be bound to stress the PVC and fittings. In any case, it's not the noise of the pump that bothers me it is they way the pump cycles.
