So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

[Mello_Mike]

I saw these threads in some of the other Open Roads RV Forums, but didn't see one for TCs.

I'll start...

I installed Interior LED puck lights and a 12v power outlet.

[W6EOD]

Replaced two Bargman amber marker lights.

[recycler]

put up some more foam board insulation

The Trimetric is on the wish list. More important items first like a second solar panel.

I have a replacement 45 AMP BoonDocker power supply coming Friday so I needed to get my 4 AWG wiring upgrade finished. Got the battery compartment done and made all the connections to the new power distribution block. Installed a 100 AMP breaker on the main battery power lead. Routed 4 AWG wire to the new Power supply location. Installed contingency wiring for a power inverter. Eliminated about 10 feet of length of wires from what the old arrangement was and is now 4 AWG. There are a few more associated projects to complete before I have the TC the way I want it.

Sounds great. The 4-AWG will serve you well.

I'm right behind ya! I'm ordering mine next week, along with the Trimetric meter... 🙂

Added LEDs throughout inside and out. VERY nice warm light.

[JoeChiOhki]

Finished getting the Christmas lights taken down ;).

got around to removing the frost and ice from the freezer in the TC. there was 1/2 inch of frost over 1/8" of ice on the back wall and what looked to be the remnants of burst otter pops on the bottom of the freezer. hot water on rags, a plastic spatula and 20 minutes of elbow grease and its all nice and clean.

All thats left for heading out in the AM is to load the food and top off the fresh water tank.

Took it off the truck today, time to start some interior upgrades.

Well golly Sergeant Carter!
My local SEARS is having a 10% off deal tomorrow only so that takes the SEARS DIEHARD PM-1 Platinum group 31 AGM battery from 279.00 down to about 250.00 each. These spec out about the same as the Lifeline 31 and for 100.00 less per battery. They are supposed to be made by Odyssey and on inspection at the store today, looked great, were very heavy, had screw and post connectors. These have a 3 year replacement warranty on them. I have nothing bad to say of them. The 200.00 saved from buying the PM-1's rather than the lifelines will nearly pay for the new Kyocera KD140 u?u solar panel. Now we're playing with some real boon docking power.
Also get to go to the Seattle RV show this weekend so lots of stuff happening. Looking so forward to that first camping trip of the season.

Today I ordered a back-up camera system.

[Lobocop]

Today the plastic vent covers on our Lance were removed and new aluminum covers installed. Those plastic covers really don't like hail.

Had a mirror mounted on the closet door for the DW. The way the glass shop did it for me is a great job, but the sucker is way heavier than I wanted. Hope the hinges hold up.
