So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Our Northern lite camper has a hanging cloths closet we never fill.

I installed a cabinet that holds three slide out file storage cabinets, with 5 inches of space on the side to hold hanging cloths. (with a solid stop so things don't go flying out during travel)

In addition the door on the left side only opened straight out so I installed 170° hinges (direct hole to hole replacements) for easy access.

I LOVE camp driveway!! I've stayed there many, many times through the years :) Didn't know you had one there too! ;)

I baked a Raspberry Sara Lee pie in the oven :p.

Finally replaced the crappy old spring mattress with a memory foam mattress from Sleep Science. WOW!!!! What a difference!

While I had the old mattress out, I also laid down some insulation to help with the winter camping.

Thanks Skipro. I had one of those but last year I let a buddy long-term borrow it because he's living in their 5th wheel. I had never gotten it filled or used it and then once he got the valcves replaced I realized how useful it would be to have at home. Now I have to buy another one to replace it! $50 is about right once you spend another $50 to get the valves changed out. Thanks for the lookup.

Blew off winterizing it again and let it burn more propane. Doh! Camped in it last weekend (and skied Cooper) and got home late. I'd like to get a BIG propane tank for home use to hook up when I fail to winterize it......or just need to run it for a while for some other reason.

There are several 100 pound propane tanks in Golden. Here is just a few posted on craigslist over the last 2 days. There are many more;

I replaced the original 18 year old, cracked and split plastic fresh water drain valve with a bright clean white new one! :)

Sealed the roof, replaced a door latch, and repaired a piece of trim that was coming up on my Ford. All washed and ready to camp!
