So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Well it only took me 3 evenings to completely clean out and put back together my Lance 1055 from taking a fishing trip with Jake the wonder dog. It included dumping all the tanks including the fresh water (refilled that one), sweeping out all the crud, wiping down all the walls and floor with 409 and changing the bedding. So here it is one clean 08 Lance 1055. In case you were wondering, yes I do sleep very well on that regular queen size Sealy Posturepedic with a synthetic down pillow top. I really do like the campers functional layout

Nice setup. We mounted ours on the left rear of our AF bumper with the slick rail system. Ours just fits in the side storage under the dinette ( I detailed my storage fix in a earlier post) and rerouted the LP gas line so it doesn't interfere with the step in the offset position. They're great little grills that cool off and clean up quickly.

Started painting the inside cab-over area finally after taking out the front window and re-paneling the inside of it. I bought one of those cheep sprayers from Harbor Freight and it works great!

bought a Boliy Pro3600 (3000Watt) generator with the remote start option and the remote fuel tank option.
Went to a metal shop to have a gen box made to fit my bumper.

Installed a front end hitch mount (Drawtite from Etrailer). Planning to use it for bicycles or maybe the spare tire. -Mark.

Yesterday installed my old Superhitch on new truck, and also installed new front T.L.tie downs,and a new set of Stable Loads.

Impressive BBQ, Dak. Thanks for the pics.

That is too shinny and pretty to cook on. It does look nice.

Well, it wasn't today, but I finally got around to posting photos on my Picture Trail account to link to here! :-) I installed my new Olympian Stainless Steel BBQ to the truck and used it for the first time! It's expensive, and the accessories add up too, but I went full hog and bought the quick connect hoses for direct connection to the camper's propane tanks (not hooked up yet) the hose for the 5gal tank and the hose for the little 1 lb portable tank, as well as the carrying bag. Next step is to have a metal box made to fit it and install on the camper bumper next to the door.. As promised, here are some photos.. I love this BBQ! :)

The mounting rail backed with tape prior to install:


The bracket for the BBQ simply hangs on the mounting rail:


And the BBQ just slips over the bracket, which is also useable in the opposite direction as a table top stand:


It has a really nifty sliding grease tray!


The location made it perfect for a magnetic led flexible BBQ light on the jack mounting bracket:


After less than 8 minutes on MEDIUM with the lid closed! I find I open the lid much more. This sucker really cooks!


On low with the lid closed:


Time to eat!! :)


Overall I'm really pleased with it!
