So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Camper is on the truck, going for the weekend to a camper's gatering at Le Géant Motorisé of St-Ambroise Quebec, over 1000 campers go there for the season's opening. We get the camper's blessing from a priest, everything is allways free, hundreds of full hook up. There is already near a 1000 campers there so I will get a spot with no hook ups, free hot dogs on friday, free party, music, Elvis night on Saturday, free great full breakfast on Sunday.

torklift has some fancy frame mount battery holders if you ever want to move the batteries out of the bed.

Took TC off the truck, washed and waxed it, took truck in for service and added 2 more batteries in the truck bed and tied into the TC,put back on the truck with 300 amp hours:B

Sorry you are feeling the need to give up your camper, and I hope your health improves! It is good though that it will stay in the family and perhaps you can go with your daughter now and then..

Well, not today, but last night. I removed all the garnish, screen, crank, etc. for my old roof vent over the dinette and drilled through the surrounding vent frame ceiling structure, tied into a ceiling light that uses led bulbs and pre-wired for my new Fantastic Vent fan that will be installed when the new roof goes on in a week! :)

Nice rear seat modification... I also take my two dogs with me and the entire back is foam with a comforter for them... the things we do for our furry kids!

Today I replaced both the black and grey tank valves. No more drips from the grey valve or a cup of water when I take the cap off! Yay!

I made a platform for the rear seat of the truck. The newer Fords have a storage contanier under the rear seat that is lockable but when you raise the seat the storage is wide open and no real way to put anything there. So I made this platform and it is lockable by the original Ford locks.

Here is the driver side of the platform



Here is the passenger side of the platform. It has a 2" foam pad for our dog to lie on.



I can still open the platform over the storage compartments and have tools in this one.



This is what I'm using on the driver side for storage. I have another one that stacks on top of this one. I put in some rings that are mounted to the platform so I can tie down the storage container and anything else I want to store here.



This one is from the dogs point of view with the storage contanier where she well get to ride.



My wife also made covers for the back on the seats and the console to keep them from getting scratched up from items stored in the back. We also put in a seat protector to cover the back seat to prevent damage to it also. This is the gray cover you see in the pictures.

I have not had time to finish off the frame and doubt that I well before we leave. I covered the top of the platforms with a felt material. The platforms are hinged and seperate in the same spots that the seat does making 2 sections to the platforms

This is is prep for our trip to Alaska this year.

Well it wasnt today, But this past weekend i ran a test with my New Chicago 2 Cycle Generator that i got for Christmas. The 900 Watt Max did Everyting i wanted it to and didnt seem to stress it. I ran the Fridge, and all the Lights, and then periodically ran water just to test it. Went through a little more than 1/2 a tank in about 6 hours. I will add Pictures later whn i get home from work. :C
