So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Oh! and the BONUS was when I took out the old Magnatek converter I found the reason why the fresh water meter wasn't working.... a simple common wire disconnect! The nut had worked it's way off, so with that little fix ... I now have a properly working fresh water meter! Yay!!!! :)

Pics? :)

They're a comin' :) Yesterday I installed the Boondocker! Yay!!!! It's all done now! I did take pictures of both installations (meter and converter/charger) and now have to take the time to write it all up and post the photos.... Hopefully this week!

Fitted up a receiver and welded it. Then welded that to the front frame members.

I welded up a 2 x 4 steel carrier and repainted it last night in the garage. Got done at 3-am.

Brought it home today after some minot warrenty work. If the temps stay down it will be time to go camping...

today I bleached and flushed all my fluid tanks, repaired the positive wire to my solar panel regulator thingy, cleaned the insides of all the outside compartments, (propane bottles, battery tray, generator compartment), and tried a little bit of 3M marine black streak remover on the side wall(aluminum skin), then waxed. I believe I will be doing the entire Lance 1025 with it as it works very well. It does take the wax off though so waxing it afterwards is a must.

Going to work on getting the bugs off the front before I do anything else.

starting the preparations for a 5 week mule deer/elk hunting trip in Idaho starting in October.

We sold ours to a guy in NC south of VA Beach Va. So I regret that were done working on ours. But it was fun for 6+ years.

I installed a magazine rack to store all of my maps, lists, and pamphlets. Got it at Camping World for $11.00.

spent over an hour using goo off, a brush, soapy water, and a high pressure hose nozzle to get all the dang bug splats off the nose of the TC

I use two products on my TC.

A couple times a year I polish with Rejex.

Before each trip I apply a coating of BugSlide.

The Rejex requires application below 85F and out of direct sunlight.

The BugSlide is a spray on wipe off product that can be applied anytime.

We just traveled 2,000 miles through Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, & Mississippi collecting many bugs and BAKING them on in 100+ temperatures.

When I got home, I sprayed with the water hose, used my long handle brush and in less than 15 minutes, all the bugs were GONE! I then reapplied BugSlide as I am heading out again Saturday.
