So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

I FINALLY made a sewer hose holder and installed it under the wing of the camper. The sever hose holding bumper door is missing and I just keep the extra hoses, parts, etc. in a plastic tray in there. Rust was beginning to be the issue as it is a closed bumper and stays moist a lot. I used French drain pipe with air holes to keep the hose dry on the new install....I really like it and save considerable $$ by doing it myself instead of buying a ready made one. Pictures, picture, pictures.... I KNOW! I have photos of this and all the projects I've been working on, but right now I'd rather be doing the projects, going camping and reading here than doing all the work to upload pictures and write up reports! I WILL soon, but.... well... you know. :)

Dug out the old caulk and putty around the dinette windows, then re-caulked with silicone caulk. Didn't have any QUAD for the job on hand but did have the new GE silicone. We’ll see how it works. I did this because I noticed a little moisture under the dinette bench seat cushions whilst we were camped up in the Mt. Adams area this last weekend.

Ordered a Derale Deep Transmission pan w/pickup extension for the pickup.

Replaced the propane switchover valve along with the regulator, new hoses all around too. Also replaced the leaking water pump, will tackle the repair of the propane side of the fridge tomorrow. In the "get it ready" mode for our north-western trip.

Replaced the hotwater heater outlet pex fitting adapter, for the second time this year :h Little black nipple with hex in the center, replaced with grey nipple square center. The black fitting was almost crystalized, nothing was stressed or moving in the area, guessing the black plastic is not up to par.

Re-did a bunch of the old screens on the TC. Had the old grey metal mesh type on there and now have new clean black screens to look out of!:B

Decided to go to a trailer, or exiting out of the RV world as a whole?

bored w/ it.....got my eye on another one to possibly rebuild...also looking at a bigger truck,so maybe a bigger tc.

We purchased a new to us 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 to put our pop-up TC on. So today, I am working on adding some frame mounted tie downs that I am fabricating.

Bless that 409...good stuff. Need to touch up here and there with that stuff as well.

Works great cleaning a TPO roof.

well one good thing about it being a slow day, I have used 409 to clean the bathroom, stove, walls and the fantastic fan vent screen and blades. Not to mention washing the fire engine and rescue.

The camper and trucks look great, Buzzcut!!! :)
