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.

Our next project will be to replace the bottom panels on each side of our 2014 Travel Lite 770R. We started getting galvanic corrosion last year. It was slight, but we knew it would need to be dealt with. This year the bottom half of the TC siding looks like swiss cheese - it's just eaten away.
Why the corrosion, How are you planning on preventing it from happening again?
Until we get it opened up it's just speculation, but we think the adhesive they used may have reacted with the aluminum siding. It's been a well documented problem for 25 years in the RV industry (from what RV repairs places have told me). But the same glue is still being used and sometimes causes problems.
Or it may be from contact between screws or staples used in the construction and the siding. It looks more like this b/c you can see "pops" every few inches in a definite pattern... like nail pops you'd see on sheet rock.
So some combination of the two is giving us problems. We think... again, until we get the siding off we're not 100% sure.
As to the fix, need to see why and then make sure we correct it by using a barrier or different staples/screws. I'll be posting a thread with pictures about the fix when we begin.
