So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Sanitized the fresh water tank and started loading for first trip of the year this next weekend.

Replaced my Coleman air conditioner with a low profile Dometic. Very nice to gain almost 3" in clearance.

Also changed out the light bulbs to LED and what a difference in energy consumption!

Down to the last week of preparations before leaving for Alaska this Saturday. Repositioned the truck and camper this morning so we could load the motorcycles on the trailer we'll be towing. Trailer is now ready; one small step for the trip, one giant leap toward starting the adventure :-)

Gas truck tomorrow, start cooling the refrigerator on Thursday, add water and last minute items on Friday and hit the road Saturday morning! Let the adventure begin.

Adding a drawer underneath the dinette bench seat.

Repaired battle damage from our recent run of the Burr Trail. During the drive the passenger side window valence that holds the window blind completely came out of the wall. I had to use wall anchors to reinstall it.

Removed my blue sky 2512ix controller, which I'll have to send back. It overcharges the batteries - got 15.2V in boost mode while it was set up for 14.5V maximum battery voltage.

I sure hope they fix and ship back fast, because I would like to get it back before we're leaving on our summer trip. Otherwise I'll have to buy a cheap controller and sell it again afterwards.

washed it, cleaned out the inside. I will know if I take the truck to the shop for airbag repair this week or wait until next. it depends on if they can fix it before I need it for a two day job this weekend or not.

Put fresh food in the fridge and freezer, checked the tires, did the final walk around....! Ready to go!!!! Yahooooo!!! We're outahere tomorrow! :)

Returned to homebase after a nine-day trip to the Overland Expo, Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods, Goosenecks State Park, Capitol Reef National Park, The Burr Trail, Kodachrome Basin State Park, Bryce Canyon, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Getting ready to clean all the dust, dirt, and bugs off the camper.

Solar panel & house battery install, fridge diagnosis, lighting, and other pre-season preparations for our new 1966 camper.
