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.

Thanks for info Wayne. Will try that method and Gel Gloss. Sounds like it will much easier Than buffing.

I will look into gel gloss. Open for anything that will make TC shine more. Thanks.

I don't know that it will shine more, but it will shine. I usually use Gel Gloss. Every once and a while I try something else, but keep coming back to Gel Gloss. I is avalable from many sources. Very easy to apply and remove. After washing the TC, I use a foam type mop with a rag on it. I mop the wax on as you do with most liquid wax. Here's the good part, after it dries, I wrap a terry cloth on my mop and wipe off the dry film. No need to polish and buff. With the mop I don't need a ladder, unless I do the roof.

My TC is a 1988 Bigfoot.

Meguiar's Cleaner wax works great.

Washed the Bigfoot since it was plenty dirty from the trip to Tulsa. Masked off the ends of the side awning and rattle canned that old yellow plastic with Krylon Fusion Satin White. What the heck, did the back porch light and the license plate light too. Love that stuff.

Bought some eternabond tape, and once the weather warms up going to tape the roof to nose cap seam.Doesn't leak on our Lance, but every time I am up on the roof, I keep looking at the seam and think how horrible to have a leak develop there.

I did the same thing on my 1998 Bigfoot 30C10.11F after I replaced the roof. I applied it right over the screw strips, front and back. The previous owner had failed to keep up with the maintenance and I ended up having to replace some plywood at the rear of the camper. Dicor is fast, inexpensive and easy to apply, but the ongoing maintenance is a hassle. Eternabond takes longer and is more expensive, but should pay off in the long run.

Legs in the jacks, or did you replace the entire jack unit?

The legs. The motors were fine.
