So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Removed the cheap undersized FORD Rear Anti Sway Bar and today I installed the Hellwig Big Wig Rear Anti Sway Bar. Can't wait for the next trip to see how the rear end handles the EagleCap 950 now....While I was at it I rotated the tires....That in itself is almost as big a job as installing the Hellwig Bar and end links.

You'll probaably notice less roll in curves, that Big Wig really helped our handling. Pretty slick install with the "wired" block nuts to drop into the frame openings, Hellwig did their homework on those.

Kerry- you're welcome on the lock info, happy to help.

Changed out all the CH751 cargo door locks with tubular cam locks. Look good and greatly reduces the chance that someone will happen upon our unattended rig with a key that lets them get to our stuff without a struggle.

what made you pick that switch ? just wondering what to look for .I was just going to put one of those cheap switches we use to use on our cars for the track .

I was going to do the same but when I saw this one I liked the look and it's mounting options, just personal preference I guess

watched a bear walk by my window as I was eating breakfast

Locks are designed to keep HONEST MEN ...honest!

I didn't have a TV so I installed a Jack Antenna and a 19" 12 volt TV. Just finished it up and I get 38 channels. 30 of the channels are in Spanish so I those don't do me any good but the others are great.

Just my 2 cents but most tubular locks can be opened with a cheap bic pen and such tutorials can be found on youtube...Scary what you can find on youtube these days.

Any lock, given enough time and an experienced thief, can be defeated. Those videos are mainly of pre-2005 tubular bicycle locks that were easily opened with a Bic style pen. Since 2005 the design was changed, making it much more time consuming to pick the tubular locks and this company sells Ace Tubular that are just that much harder to pick. I'll take my chances with these, rather than having thousands of people running around with a key that is known to open most RV cargo compartments. Wikipedia- tubular pin tumbler locks

The Bic Pen trick doesn't work on these locks, the Bic Pens are too large. I installed these in my TC last Spring.
