So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

I saw these threads in some of the other Open Roads RV Forums, but didn't see one for TCs.

I'll start...

I installed Interior LED puck lights and a 12v power outlet.

    Decided that since my Lance 865 came with a TV antenna with built in signal booster I'd put a TV in. I found a 19" wide screen at Best buy on sale for $99 and then bought an aluminum swing mount at a local RV dealer ($69 with the Good Sam discount!!). The wall mount didn't fit the screw arrangement the Lance factory installed so I had to drill new holes in the wall plate and countersink the holes. Got the TV in then did a direct wire to the battery so I could use a small solar panel I had on hand to keep the battery topped off. Both are working great.

    The TV bracket is a locking type but unfortunately the 19" TV hits the side wall before the lock will engage so I'm going to find a way to secure it during travel. It would probably be OK but why take a chance.

    Thats a great idea. I was surprised to see how much Northwood changed sink layouts from 08 to 2010. Now I have more work to do.

    Replaced the cheap outside speakers with some nice Sony marine speakers.

    Do you have the box spring under your mattress too?

    no that's just a standard 80x60 queen with a synthetic down topper resting on a sheet of refletex on the floor of the cabover
    Whew. When you said it was a challenge to get into your camper, then a box spring too, I was going to be really amazed how you got that done.
