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.

Cut a 2x6 to bolt into place for the new furnace vents to anchor to from the outside, finish cleaning, butyl taping and reinstalling the last of the trim strips to the driver's side, installed the new fresh water tank fill port, city water connection, and cut the new hole in the replaced 2x6 for the 30 amp marine connector for shore power and sealed it into place.
Also got the other rear jack bracket drilled and mostly installed (Still need to pull the shower so I can install the rest of the carriage bolts into the frame to secure the lower leg portion from the second direction.
Tomorrow, I'll clean and clear the floor so I can tear up the forward sheet of plywood and see if the floor framing needs repairs or just additional framing (will need some anyways up front to support the new 41 gallon fresh water tank.
The 35 gallon waste tank has finally shipped, found a new 20" wide tread three step folding stair case to replace the existing two step, and if there's time left tomorrow, I'll finish dry fitting the new bed frame into the cabover, and then cut the rest of the pieces so I can get it installed and be able to safely climb up and start carefully removing the last pieces of the ceiling (need to use them as a template to cut the new pieces).
Once those are out, I can begin running the new wiring for the running lights, finally figured out why they weren't working well. Apparently to save 30 cents, they grounded them all into the skin on the driver's side rather than run a ground wire all the way back.
