So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Finally started my 1981 frontier project! It's a classic 8ft'r that needs a new insulation job, minor (so far) wood replacement and some new vents. Basically I'm skinning it and working from the outside in.

looks good buzz,we had a sunny day in vancouver so i did the same,washed yesterday and waxed today,takes a long time to do a lance 915 by hand,and i am sore too,lol

I finally bit the bullet and started the wiring needs for a house battery. For some reason I thought I could finish by the next weekend. We shall see!

See my blog post for details and pics.

Bought a F550 XLT to put under it

I found the prewired stereo position in our new to us bigfoot, and got a $48 microwave from wallyworld and put it up in the cupboard above the stove where the microwave prewire is. I'm going to get some shelf liner (like tool box) and put under it to keep from moving while going down the road. If this doesn't work I guess I'll leave to fabricate some straps to put over it to keep it in place.

Well it took me almost 5 five hours but I took soap and a scrub pad and removed all the accumulated bug splats from the previous 12 months from the truck and TC then I washed and waxed the entire rig. Yes my darn Hands, arms, and shoulders are worn out. Now I remember why I rarely do this...lol

looks good though for a 10 yr old truck with 120k miles on it and a 6 year old Lance 1055

Do you want to do mine ? I will pay you all the beer and pizza you can eat. never mind that could be too costly. I'll just take it over to the auto detailer that does mine.
And for your question what did you do to your truck camper today....nothing I vegged out in my recliner most of the day. :W
Looks good!

My batteries were not holding a charge, so I pulled out my two group 29 batteries to check the water level.

In the first battery, the water level was corrrect. The second batttery - two cells were full. Four cells were dry. Strange. But the batteries were marked as "24 month" and they were three and a half years old.

So off to wally world for two new batteries!
