So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

And a pass on the outside faucet/people cutting through your campsite blocker assembly dealie.

Thank you, sir. I sure do have a wild hangover. Did I really install that pipe thing and post it online? I don't remember a thing. Crazy. LoL

Nice work on the blackout blinds Joe. It never really gets dark up here in the summer, I may do something similar. Did you also make covers for the roof vents? I cut some reflectix foil insulation to fit and used Velcro tabs around the perimeter to secure it.

I did the same with reflectix foil. That stuff is awesome at keeping the heat (and light) out. Especially in the bath. That skylight is the worst offender.

I have pieces cut to size for all the windows and leave em in while camper is sitting. Keeps the UV from peeking in and deteriorating the interior. They stow under the bed when not in use. Sure would be nice to have a covering or garage to put the camper in, but I don't. Oh well. Haven't decided what to do about the upper door window as a roller shade won't fit between. I may just limo tint it, get a black pull down shade like the one that's already there there and call it good.



As far as the vents go, no foil there. I have only the FF vent which I installed a black, not smoked, Aero vent cover over. I'd say it blocks 99% of any light coming in while at the same time, lets the camper "breathe". Huge improvement in heat reduction over not having one. Much cooler.

Before installing the blinds and vent cover, I could make my way to the bath with whatever ambient light peered through. Now, it's pretty much pitch dark.
