Sleepys birthday

[realter]

Sleepy is having a birthday today. I understand he is close to 90, just wondering if he's the oldest truck camper here? He probably would say he is oldest and wisest.:R

How rude of me. Should have furnished a link to the TC Magazine article I mentioned.

Link: Palomino Line-Xed camper

Its tough to tell how the units shell seams were assembled. Were they Line-X ed before the trim was put on? A gazilion other questions, too.

I'll have to drive to a dealer to really inspect one close up, this spring. Linex is a nice strong skin, but I would like to verify if the entire camper shell & seams were Line-X ed...

In a few TC Magazine photos, I see lots of caulking around jack mounts and other exterior vents. So, do you still have to caulk all the seams and exterior mounted items??

Belated happy birthday from me also.

AND, have you seen the latest on Truck Camper Magazine?????? Guess it is the Palomino brand, but they've sprayed the entire exterior with Line-X coating.

Perhaps, unsure here, but this may be an idea for the problems you're having with the exterior of your Lance.

Add my belated best wishes, Chet. We are still resting up from our rather strenuous five day ATV ride in Utah and thirty hour drive each way. Without power steering on the ATV, this (almost) 66 year old was tired and sore each night from wrestling the bike around all day.

Chet: nope. You're hardly that. Aren't you demolishing rooms in your house with your own two hands, and rebuilding/remodeling them? Heck, you are doing a lot more physical labor than I am at present :B

As you have seen, I have been informed that I with my recent birthday am now a "dodranscentennial "

Looking that up on google I find....

"If it’s 75 years, you’re supposed to call it a dodranscentennial, from the Latin de quadrans, which means “a whole unit of something less one-quarter.”

I'll proudly take it.... nothing beats being here, alive and well.

Thank you

Chet

My truck camper is getting "doddery" but I'm keeping it as long as I can.

... dodranscentennial

Wow... I had to look THAT one up. Thank you Chet for aging so well so I may add to my crossword vocabulary (LOL.) Camper stuff aside, because of you I still am learning!

I haven't read all the replies here, just one that says he's ninety and another that says he looks like he's seventy-five. Cheers to Sleepy and his fountain of youth!! Cheers Sleepy!!!!!
