So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Nice job. Was there something wrong with your other toilet or did you just want an upgrade?

We installed new vinyl plank flooring and a new porcelain bowl toilet.

Before



During



After

I hooked up the Lance Electric power cord for the camper and ran 12v power for the on board air yesterday.
Today if I finish the air compressor and tank I'll call it good for a few days.
I've got a few dealers calling me now with $45-48,000. for a new Lance 1172. Those are good numbers for completely loaded models, so we're getting there.

Uncovered it and filled the fresh water tank. We went without power over the weekend into late Monday night and lost everything except propane. The camper while off the truck served us well providing everything we needed including temp power via the generator. So I guess I silently thanked my truck camper for providing what we needed to get through these huge storms.

I swept another 12" of snow off the roof again for about the dozenth time this winter.

Prepped it as an escape pod if the coming storm is as big as they say. There is kind of a big **** and lake up valley from us although the 100 yr flood maps in case of dam failure show us to be two blocks outside of the innundation zone

I walked past and patted it fondly... No camping for a while for me during this winter season.. :(

Dak

tomorrow i will be stopping by the yard to check the ceramic heater and top up the dessicant and dump the water.

After much deliberation on what to do about what "may" be an issue, I installed a Hellwig BigWig anti-sway bar. You think it was the advertised 1-2 hour installation? Of course not. I spent almost that much time trying to figure out Step 1: relocate the brake line bracket. Naturally its location pic was nowhere near where mine was and the supplied relocation bracket wouldn't work at all. I finally decided to just ignore it and see if it gets in the way. It didn't. I finished installing the parts and snugged things up. Drove around town a bit. Got back out there this morning to torque things down. I'm doubling up doses of ibuprofen. Dang trying to wrap one arm around the frame to hold a backup, hold the torque wrench up with a 12" extension with my chest, and then torque to 50ft.lb. with my free hand was a challenge.
I hope it helps the "may be a problem". lol

Thanks for heads up. I think I will have 4 wheels parts here in North Dallas install The Helwig sway bar for me. Did a great job On my previous Ram CTD installing a Helwig Sway bar.
