So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

I played Karate Kid with the camper today.

You know, wax on, wax off!

I got tired of the worn faded stain on the cabinets so I did a light sanding and restain. I like the way it came out with an Antique finish look

before




After





used this stuff

Rewired the rear drivers side marker light on the wing. Wires were undersized and pulled out of the housing. Splice in a 16 ga wire extension then after reinstall slopped dicor all the way around the lamp to seal it. Working on restaining the cabinets now plus some wardrobe mods.

Installed Elfa pull out shelving in our wardrobe. Barely fit, but love the functionality.

Did the AC/digital thermostat mod so that the digital thermostat can now control the Air Conditioner. Keeps the temperature more constant than the knob thermostat on the AC. Hardest part is neatly routing the wires.

Please tell me how you did this!!! My Eaglecap had a thermostat and it worked great. When I purchase my brand new AF1050 I was very disappointed it didn't have the thermostat too.

I didn't do anything but I loaned it to my daughter and she just informed me that she replaced the mattress with a new foam one as she found the old one uncomfortable. I thought the old one was OK but I guess I have a new one now lol.

Wow...nice daughter! Lol

Resealed the skylight in my shower yesterday, just in time for the rainstorms that rolled through last night. Second time in a year, but last time I missed the bad caulk on the vent next to it and some water was leaking under that, to accumulate at the corner of the skylight and dribble down. Problem solved and the shower was nice and dry this morning. Time to start planning a fall trip to Big Bend.

Replaced the standard double pedestal tables mounts in my Northstar Igloo with a Lagun table mount. That made a huge difference in ease of use and being able to push the table out of the way when not in use.

Replaced the propane leak detector. The first lasted from the build in 2005 until 2012. Now the replacement was giving false alarms so it was time for a second replacement unit.

Retrieved my truck camper from my flood-ravaged Campsite in the mountains of West Virginia. Now to clean it up.

Hey, Beer. So sorry. I didn't realize you got hit. Where did you have it? We are planning an early October trip somewhere local and I was going to hit you up for suggestions.

Hope it is ok.
