So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Perfect, Perfect Perfect...just what I was looking for. I will check into the weight.
thanks

Next question, has anyone mounted any kind of storage boxes/containers on the outside (back) of a TC? I have considered some kind of wire basket thing to keep the weight down and just bungie stuff in. I got a cool porta-potty thing that folds into a case that is 19x14x5 and I thought if I could just find something to haul that in I would be happy. Any ideas or concerns?

Thanks in advance.

You might checkout pjay9's storage lockers on the back of his camper. Thisd might be heavier/bigger than you want but some ideas here.

Well, technically I didn't do it, but I was the research person, the purchasing agent and the motivator.

My husband did the up-grade to the Rieco-Titan electric jacks with the lovely little remote. HOW COOL!!! The weather broke for a few days so we could uncover it and he could get it done between midnight shifts and minimal sleep.

The next project is some kind of awning over the back door. I did order this Kelty http://www.kelty.com/p-720-tailgater-ipa.aspx?category=tents-shelters pretty much on a whim. It was a little cheaper. REI's return policy looked good so if it doesn't work I'll just fire it back to them. My (my husband's) problem is going to be how to anchor it. I want something to go a little over the back edge and fasten on top of the camper. The two piece door on the Bronco is a source of concern for me. I can see this being a "leak site". I also think that if it is not high enough for us, I can buy some longer poles or take them from our tent. I thought this might give us a covered area to wipe human and dog feet before going into our teeny-tiny camper. I think my next choice was the ARB.

Bacon, eggs and fresh trout. Took my camper fishing. 20 yesterday AM.

That's some good looking breakfast right there ;).

Well yes it is..... EXCEPT there isn't enough bacon. ;)

Yay ... it's a beauty! There's still time for some winter camping ;)

Thanks!! But it wouldn't hurt my feelings if the snow just melted this year. LOL!!

Use it at the world famous Slab City. Ah yes, my kind of people and not for the faint of heart. :W

I installed my weather station with 2 remote sensors. One under the wing near the front for outside temps and one in the dump valve area. Wife finished make the drape that well go across the rear door. This allows me to take the cover off the lower window in the door so I can see who is out there if someone knocks on my door without opening the door to a stranger in the middle of the night. Also looking for a place to mount my new Remington 870 12 guage tactial shotgun with a 18.5 barrel that we well be taking with us to Alaska. Normally I keep my Tarus Judge that shots 410 shotgun shells with us but heading to Alaska with a hand gun is a no no.

Great idea with the remote sensors. Personally I would take the Judge as a backup for just in case, IMO, Because if you rely on only one you will need two. Have fun on your Alaskan adventure

Damn that trout for breakfast looks good.....

I like the idea of mounting the weather station sensors. In deploy mine manually for each trip and that can be a pain keeping them out of the sun and not forgetting to pick it up before breaking camp. I REALLY like the idea of mounting it under one of the wings.

How do you like that Taurus Judge? How is the recoil shooting the .410s?

I just use double sided tape and mount the sensor. Using alchol to clean the area before putting the sensor on. When I take them off I normally really have to pull on them to get them off. I have never had a problem with one coming off.

Honestly I haven't had a chance to shoot the Judge yet as I haven't had it that long either. I don't think it well have as much kick as my 44 mag does though. I do need to get out and start shooting again as I have been collecting some guns lately that I haven't even fired yet. I guess I'm saving them in new condition for my son to use them some day when I'm gone. I know he well love it having brand new guns. :D
