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.

Swapped out my FWC Battery Bank today.
After 5 years, and more than 1,825 cycles, it was time to swap out my GC2 Battery Bank 2. The winters and many nights below zero certainly take a toll on them. This winter and 2013, was extremely hard and cold. As does the extreme heat these batteries exist in, as they store my daily solar harvest. So, after a few weeks in Death Valley, out with the old and in with some equally shiny and fresh batteries. I expect another good 5 years, if not more cycles. Maybe 2,000 cycles?

My new set of Interstate 6v GCS FWC Batteries, installed into my Bank 2 Coffin.
After a bit of time getting everything hooked up to my two charge controllers, 2 Buss Blade Fusses and my 2,000 PSW Inverter. Fired up the first time, not a hitch.
