New Camper!

Worked on it all weekend to get a lot of the stuff out of my "old" 2012 Arctic Fox 1150 and moved into my "new to me" 2012 Eagle Cap 1160 dual-slide. Picked it up last Thursday, and been working on it on and off since just adding/moving stuff.

So far, I've put in:
half dozen golf cart batteries
2kw/4kw peak inverter
80 amp/4 gauge charge circuit to the truck
HD satellite TV
32" LED tv (to be finished when my mount shows up)







Truck is loaded/wet, full with 75 gallons water-- NO Timbrens or airbags.


An access cover hiding the tanks provided room for 4 more 6v batteries. And yes, I put two vents in to vent them off the side of the TC.


There's enough room in this thing that I plan on putting in a brass pole and disco lights there in the center (kidding)


TV is going to get mounted to the wall as soon as the mounts I ordered show up. I ordered 2 sets of quick-release mounts, and am putting the second one outside. Satellite receiver is mounted right there above the Microwave oven. Audio-out from the satellite is patched into the stereo, so when I move the TV outside, the stereo outside speakers will pipe the sound out. Good for Nascar, Football, Movie night by the campfire, annoying the neighbors, etc...
