So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Added a Powermax Boondocker to upgrade my Magnatek

Installed an upgraded converter/charger.

I may be mistaken, but I think you responded to a Thread someone started on this subject, not start a thread. There is a big difference in my opinion. I do not see where you stated anything other than a "one liner". I sure do not see much in the way of details.

Consider: "I installed a Blue Sea 360 12v Panel in my TC. The details can be seen here on this Thread "xxxxx"". A very specific Thread, with details, and a discussion unique to the subject.

This would be great as a stand alone Thread, including a "how to". Could have been very informative for this Thread: installing 12v outlets. Obvious questions is why the Blue Sea 360 12v Panel, a source for the panel, and how was it wired.

Wayne

I already did, Wayne. :)

Now I just need it to stop raining so I can finish de-winterizing, fill the FW tank and check for leaks.

This could be a great Thread. Why the accumulator tank, why this size, why this brand, advantages, are their other tanks and if so from where.

With an in depth discussion, there is a lot that can be learned on this subject.

Also...the vent covers help save the vent tops from the UV effects.

I had them on our old cimarron TT, and liked them a lot.

Ha! How far South you coming? It's over 100 degrees today in the OC, So Cal. I'm seriously thinking about hitting the beach, maybe take fido along.

Regarding the vent covers, which do you recommend for for the Fantastic Fan? I've been reading that some covers have clearance issues. In addition, the manual says NOT to use any kind of vent cover over the fan. I think that's just a bunch of hooey.

Your accumulator tank/pump will run much quieter if you run about 2-3 feet of flexible rubber hose before tying into the hard factory plumbing lines, on the inlet and outlet sides.That annoying pump running noise is multiplied as it carries thru the hard plastic lines. I did this mod after learning about it on this forum a few years back and I was amazed as to the results.I used to take a shower and listen to the pump run every time it kicked on. Now we hear nothing.

Good tip regarding the noise isolation, but all the FW lines in my Northstar are PEX, not a hard PVC. You can just see the T feeding the sink above the drain line in the before pic. The pump noise wasn't the problem. It was the frequent cycling I wanted to do something about.

I threw up some vent covers with screens and installed them on the two vents that open. Now we can travel down the road with the vents all the way open, increasing airflow exponentially...and allowing the dog to ride back in the camper if we so desire.

Not normally an issue in AK....but we're headed south in a few days and you guys have some stupid hot weather happening down there. We heard it was over 80°F in Oregon yesterday! 8D We'll be cranking our AC a bunch...that's for sure.
