So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Sanitized the water system, fired up the hot water heater and installed a seven inch LED light from Best Converter above the dinette. Ten more days and I'll be headed for the first time this season.

Installed warm white LED strips to replace my fluorescent tubes. I'm happy with the result but it was difficult to get a good connection between the strips and the connectors I ordered. Had to remove a lot of stickum from the ends to get good electrical contact so it turned out to be more labor intensive than I had envisioned. But, what the heck, I'd rather be working on my camper than most anything else.

I know where that is!!!

You are so lucky! I used to spend lotsa time there when I was in high school. I went back 4 years ago to check it out and reminisce, and there's a big campground there now! (there were a lot of people too)

I was shocked.

Still beautiful and very special

filled the freshwater tank, dumped the others. I'm working at a horse show all weekend so its stock up my food and med gear time plus load up my wife show gear as she is competing there. going to be fun hanging out together all weekend.

I bought the chocolate chip pancake mix too!!!

I started to stock up the TC for this weekend. The kids are all excited about the chocolate chip pancake mix my wife bought! We will be going up to the tulip festival this weekend and meeting with some fellow RV neter's. I hope it doesn't rain too much!!!!

Today I de-winterized the camper. Over the weekend I installed a second solar panel. It's a Kyocera 140w added to the previous Kyocera 135w giving me a total of 275w (on paper at least). The single 135w panel wasn't quite enough to keep the DC compressor refrigerator running. I installed the panel Saturday and the fridge has been on since while the batteries still show a full charge.
The plate in front of the panel is where the Winegard crank up antenna had been. Reception wasn't that great and I needed the space for the solar so I removed it. I put in a bulkhead F-connector and I plan to use that connection for a Dish Tailgater.

Well not technically "today" but Friday I loaded the Avion onto the truck, after pulling the studded snow tires from the F350, and reinstalled the 19.5's. Now to get the Avion cleaned up inside, and restocked for the summer camping season! It's only 22F right now, but bright and sun-shinny. Also got a chance to install the Super-truss and the fit is perfect!
Reason for loading this early in Alaska?
Had to make room for two 10yd dump truck loads of logs for firewood...

Installed a cargo net across the fold down cabinet doors over the table. OEM wanted $35 for net plus $15 shipping. Bought an acceptable net at Walmart for $15. We can now fit four storage bags across the shelf, giving us 25% more storage. Every little bit will help during our trip to Alaska this summer. One step closer!
