So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Thanks Kidoo. Our first trip there. Any advice always appreciated lol.

WoW!
Those are some pricey LED lights in that link. I did all my camper LED's for $40 from eBay last year, a total of 17 bulbs converted including the stove hood, pantry, reading lights, bathroom, 14" florescent fixture and the three outdoor flood lights. They are all "warm" temperature range and, except for seeing the LED's behind the lens, you can't tell the difference between these and incandescent bulbs they replaced. They seem to put out a little more light than the original bulbs, but that might be due to the fact they don't dim as the battery voltage decreases during a camp trip.
I recommend searching eBay for LED's in bulk. Many sellers list bulbs in auctions of 10 or more. Find a seller who sells several different styles of LED bubs and send them a message of the type and quantity of LED's you want. Ask them to put together a specific "buy-it-now" auction that is specific to your shopping list of LED's with you as the only person who can buy. (A good eBay seller will know how to put together this sort of package and specific buyer listing with little problem.) I found my seller from China. The LED's took an extra week to clear through customs, but it looks like I saved plenty to go this route.

Installed a few LED Lights

COOL. I've been running their lights for several years now.

Worth noting, he's a fellow truck camper owner - Arctic Fox 811.

I hear he will be attending the Montana Glacier Park TC Rally.

Finally getting the 7-pin receiver installed in the truck bed and evidently having the TC re-caulked.

Also, found this cool idea http://www.doityourselfrv.com/rv-storage-ideas-tic-tac-rv-spice-rack/. I have started collecting the boxes from co-workers and my task this weekend is label making and mounting with magnets.

This works great, we have been doing that for decades, when we started camping with the Volks Westfalia.

Made some purchases, getting ready for the Alaska excursion: ride-rite airbags, in cab controller, front hitch, tire rack for the fron hitch, and a pair of aluminum 'ramps' to use as the base for a small rear porch with ramp access. I'll have a month between retirement and the trip to install and test, at the same time I do the 7K maintenance.

Have a good trip, I wish I go back soon, maybe in 2014.

Just hooked up my new winegard carry out satelite dish,WOW is that easy. I think I'm really going to like this investment. I was concerned with the $$$$, but if it stands the test of time I will be a very happy camper:B

Getting the ol S&S ready for our yearly IH rally. Might even get the dinette changed to a Flip-n-fold couch before we go.

Finished installing the mini blinds, cleaned & reinstalled the cooktop, made the bed and finally slept in it in the driveway.
