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.

Performed some much needed maintenance on my Suburban water heater.

My lance 1161 slideout is lower at one end than the other.
wondering were you successful in adjusting your slide?

I have a happijac system...I am hoping to find an adjustment when I get back to georgia.

thanks for any advice you can share.

In Arizona on the way back to georgia.

Well it's not suppose to get out of the 20's today so I thought this was a good time to break in that heater and get that new smell out of it. SO I set it to 70 and I figure a day of this and it will be broke in proper.

Thanks for the great feedback on the Hellwig Big Wig Sway Bars.I also installed the Torklift Stable Load Quick release kit prior to my last trip....sure does change the Spring pre-load.
I now have Big Wig Sway Bars front and rear.
Anxious to hit the road.

I love my bigwig! I can handle twisty roads, driving the same speeds I do when empty. A big difference.

Removed the cheap undersized FORD Rear Anti Sway Bar and today I installed the Hellwig Big Wig Rear Anti Sway Bar. Can't wait for the next trip to see how the rear end handles the EagleCap 950 now....While I was at it I rotated the tires....That in itself is almost as big a job as installing the Hellwig Bar and end links.

You'll probaably notice less roll in curves, that Big Wig really helped our handling. Pretty slick install with the "wired" block nuts to drop into the frame openings, Hellwig did their homework on those.

Kerry- you're welcome on the lock info, happy to help.

Changed out all the CH751 cargo door locks with tubular cam locks. Look good and greatly reduces the chance that someone will happen upon our unattended rig with a key that lets them get to our stuff without a struggle.

what made you pick that switch ? just wondering what to look for .I was just going to put one of those cheap switches we use to use on our cars for the track .

I was going to do the same but when I saw this one I liked the look and it's mounting options, just personal preference I guess

I didn't have a TV so I installed a Jack Antenna and a 19" 12 volt TV. Just finished it up and I get 38 channels. 30 of the channels are in Spanish so I those don't do me any good but the others are great.
