So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Got the Happy Jack apart, cleaned it, grease and oil, thanks to thread below, makes it much easier. I took the guts out of it and I had to straightened the outside tube that got bent this winter when I caught it with the truck support. I used a big hammer and banged on it with a piece of wood and got the tube perfectle straight, it now goes in/out real easy. The mechanism was well lubricated, top with white grease and shaft with oil, it was moving pretty good.

I now have to paint it and put it back toghether. Taking apart was faily easy. One piece of plastic that hold the plastic top gizmo inside got broke when I took it out, but I will have a new one machined.

Washed the ceeling, seats, carpet, well wife did it, but I helped a little!

Removed the two noisy factory vent fans and replaced with the SharkCool muffin fans. Now when I run the fans they are not annoying like before. With the bathroom fan running its quiet and will be perfect to gain ventilation when using the Wave 3 heater.The galley fan works well while cooking, and so quiet.

Finally got a chance to take a few pics of the latest mods. Added this second slide out switch so we can bring the slide out in after climbing into bed if need be.

Routed the cable for the local antenna (tv) to the lb on the sat dish so we can record two program at the same time (directv) . Since the local antenna wasn't usable for digital . Also contacted Winegard about adjusting the dish to elimanate play. They were very helpful. Also changed out our old 15" tv to a 32" and had to add surround sound to the dinette because of the location of the AC. We would post pictures but don't know how. You understand we're in our 70s so lost of hearing and sight gos with the terriority.lol also added some shelving in the bedroom for storage . The one thing we miss from home is the easy chairs so I developed a device that is hinged and slides under the cushion in the dinette it allows us to have our legs elevated. A nice addition to comfort in our TC.
