So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

repaired/replaced dry-rot on the wing around of generator area and side post, what the jack attaches to. Probably going to repair/replace the other side. Heck, when I'm finished I will have a new camper.

spent most of the day in EMS recertification classes but when I got home I installed the extension mirrors to my 03 F350 Dumbo Ear Mirrors

I DROVE my truck with the camper on it!! I have actually only driven the truck solo twice to work since I bought it (and the camper) a few months ago and have just been ITCHING to drive it with the camper loaded. Today I drove about 40 miles all over the mountain to see how it handles with the camper loaded and fully packed. I'm pleased to say that it did GREAT! No issues. Plenty of power, no swaying or rocking, stops great and handled the winds up here today quite well! NOW I want to go camping!!! It brought back memories of when I had a NEW 1992 GMC dually and Weekender camper, only it was a foot longer.. LOVE IT! :-)

Today we are parked-up in a very plesent carpark next to River Arade in Portugal after spending the morning wandering around a very nice market/town in the sun----
Yesterday--------
I fixed a piece of board to the floor of the over-head area with coach bolts to pull the ally sheeting back up----it was doing a good job of destroying the cab roof as it was sagging down--------looks good today

Camped in it at the Tampa, Fl RV show. 70 degrees and sunshine! More of the same today.

When I bought the truck, the parking brake light didn't work anymore.

Today I removed the parking brake switch to file away the oxidation and put it back in. Works perfectly now. :)

Sorry....Scaled today, loaded and ready to camp 10,260 gross, 3,760 front axle, 6,500 rear axle. Door sticker says 10,000 GVW, 4,000 front axle, 7,400, rear axle. all in all.....I'm pretty happy, the truck handles it without issue. It has the camper package and stableloads with Bilstien shocks. :C

Came up the front of the mountain in hella winds at 45mph.

I restocked the beer yesterday. Gotta take some out today. It is an ongoing process, drink and replace. Have to exercise the fridge. Today, will have to clean it up a bit, for a trip this weekend.
