So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

I finally got the rot in the wing back together. Wind rain and cold made a single day job four days. If that thing rots now it's just possessed.

Cried a little bit when I discovered that water had started to pool in the skin of the cabover floor, punched a couple small holes to allow it to drain out till I can take the skin off.

Another leak has cropped up and the weather is too ****ty to fix it.

the round retention pins for the Lance strut mount on the cabover of my 8 year old 1055 had developed some play where they insert into the aluminum block so I replaced them with new mounts

After all my personal brain damage hashing out my options over and over again I made the jump to a 19.5 tires and wheels set up. I’ve known I was running at the weight limit for a few years with my stock 245/75R16LT setup but I never had an issue.
After looking all over for wheels that would properly accommodate a 285/70R16LT tire and rated at the same 3750 lbs, I gave up.
I found a great deal on this set up from a gentleman that went thru the same tire dilemma and then sold the slide in and went to a class a diesel pusher.
I had them out on the highway today, very smooth and stable with a very little bit of the high pitched semi truck tire sing. Vision Heavy Hauler wheels and 245/70R19.5 Sumitomo ST918 tires, I just had them Saf-Tee siped for better ice traction.

LED's do mess with electronics, I put one in my garage door opener...remotes all stopped working while the bulb was lit. Put a standard bulb back in...remotes all worked again.

Put the 4th and final coat of DEP polish on her and she is ready to go.

Put up our state map.



Alaska is about 1/4 the size it should be relative to the rest of the states....but it is in the right location. We're looking for a larger Alaska sticker to put there.
