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.

Started the install on a solar powered ceiling fan. I need to find a swivel base for the panel. Probably use a seat base.

Clear upper window: Me yay, She who must be obeyed Nay...I lose. It stays frosted

[Mello_Mike]

Great idea, DJ!! I have the same problem with my camper. Another item to add to my modification to do list. 🙂

I lightened the load on the truck by about 100#s by removing the 48" supertruss extension. Next its off to fuel it, fill propane and wash it, then pack for next weekends fishing trip. I always forget then quickly remember how heavy and awkward that sucker is to get it out from under the truck and TC then carry it to the storage shed.

swept out the lance today,ready for some fall camping,wind and rain warnings are in effect around here but we are heading out,love this time of the year !!

I checked for leaks and found 2 in the outside storage areas that I cannot find where they are coming from. Leaks are the worst!!! I added more weather stripping and checked all the caulking.

A mystery indeed.

Swapped the clear bottom window with the frosted top.



Took down factory valance



Added a trim board



New valance with pull down shade inside



With shade pulled



Then I could raise the shade to look out without opening the door. My present SunLite has the clear glass from the factory with a pull down shade but you can not operate it as it is between the screen door. I just leave the shade up and when I want privacy I open the bathroom door which opens against the entry door. :C

VERY nice! .... and a great idea! I have frosted glass in the top of my door so I don't have this need, but I'd like to swap it out and will do the same thing you did! I have a small clear window on the bottom with an insulated flap that I have to open the door to pull up, but that's not a problem and it's handy for backing up sometimes.

Thanks for the photos! Nice job. 🙂

Clear Door Glass YES!!! I replaced the Frosted Glass with Clear on our 2011 Eagle Cap 950 two years ago. It was a simple chore and my wife made a set of Velco on Curtains that we use if and when needed for the upper and lower clear windows. The clear view is great I don't know why I never did this mod to our previous two campers.

Started to load camper getting ready for our yearly moose hunting trip leave on October 7 back in three weeks.ya

My 2008 apache has 2 clear windows in the door with curtains

[Reddog1]

I think the frosted window was a Monkey see, Monkey do thing. I am not aware of any TCs that do not have frosted glass in the door.

Loaded mine up for deer season. Headed out in the morning. 5 days then back home for 2 and back in the woods chasing elk. Will be camped where only people with wall tents and campers can go. No TT going up this road.
