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.

I went and had a cup of coffee in my camper today. Turned the heater on and played some candy crush.

Yes, it's a Blue Sea Systems PN 6006. I'm really happy with the outcome, and the outcome of the TV mount I put in this weekend too. It's a rocketfish mount from Best Buy

What did I do to my TC today?


Sold it.....

My former AF that is. It's been sitting here for sale the last couple months since I got my EC. I waived bye bye to it today. It was a good TC. I'll miss it.

Aired up all the tires, after 4 weeks of sitting they were off by 4-5 psi from 80. Fueled the genny and the spare gas can, swapped the bedding to flannel sheets and down comforters. Loaded up my clothes and all my toys for any weather condition ( fly gear to snow shoes). All thats left is to wash the windshield and load the food and I am out of here by 2pm on Friday headed east to someplace in the Sierras. It will be just me and the 3 dogs for the weekend...

I hope that you have your skiis in a water resistance ski bag or binding covers. Salt spray from the highway can corrode the releasing function of the bindings (37 years National Ski Patrol). I ended up just going with a ski box which kept my skis in great shape. Just my thoughts.

Started prepping to head to the Sierras next weekend. aside for loading up my toys I decided it was a good time to refresh my chain up skills and try out my new chain set. This took me less that 5 minutes from start to finish and they are by far the easiiest set of chains I have ever installed. Purchased from Les Schwab Tires

GGGRRR!!! Well I checked all the air pressure in the new tires I had installed only 90 miles ago in prep for a quick overnight local getaway. Inside dual totally showed 5 psi. when I tried to air up I heard the hiss of air coming from inside. Trip cancelled. At least it wasn't the tire itself. It was the inner dual valve extender and it had been sliced almost clear through. When? I don't know as I haven't driven it since July and it was "fine" then.. Maybe on the way home. In any event, it's truck is under the RV port and I have to replace the valve extenders (or leave them off completely.) In 21 years of driving dually trucks with valve extenders this is the first time I've ever had an issue, so I guess it was my turn!

Well, not exactly today, but the couple weeks:

Added a Ranch Hand grille guard (we're a deer & moose magnet)


& installed a custom front 2" receiver (didn't want to permanently install a winch)


& getting ready for ski season, (camping overnight in parking lots to be 1st in line on those Utah powder days & taking early p.m. naps), got a hitch-mounted, swing out ski rack (the Ms. said "no way" to hauling ski's around on the floor).
