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.

It is not only NL but all of the RVs that I have owned are set up the same way. I think there might be some rules against being able to shut them off with the battery disconnect. It could cause a problem.

Wow, LED lights really are awesome... now have a functional DC system and house battery.
Details here...

Nice Photog101. I used two arms to allow my to store the TV, but allow positioning it so it can be seen anywhere in the TC.

Lookin' good, Photog101!!!! You'll love having the flat screen swivel mount. We use ours all the time. 🙂

This weekend, I finally got all my mount parts to mount the new TV/DVD (RCA Deck 15DR 12/120 volt). I used Sanus wall mount (MF215) and added an extra arm from my Sanus Desk Mount (MD115-G1) that I didn't need because one arm on the desk mount was enough. I needed just a little more arm length in the camper to reach around the corner for the living area.



Pardon the mess in the cabinet, but spring cleaning has not started.









I am still making a foam insert that will fit behind the TV plus a couple of Velcro straps that will secure it while traveling.

I also installed a 12 volt socket near the back that I will use to keep the cell phones charged.



I was going to mount two more 12 volt sockets on each side of the bed for charging the cell phones at night, but I have to wait until the auto parts gets in another delivery. I'll mount them next to each of the lights in the front of the overhead sleeping area. I also need two more 12 volt sockets to mount next to the couch for the computer and tablet.

We picked up a huge roll of the rubber shelf liner at the 'dollar store'. But on the microwave I think you might want to phyiscally secure?

Replaced our batteries Friday, must be somthing in the air. One dumped a cell-noted the solar was continously chargeing @ 6amps, everything off.

Found a purpose for the basement access inside. Shoe storage! It even has drainage holes.

Finally started my 1981 frontier project! It's a classic 8ft'r that needs a new insulation job, minor (so far) wood replacement and some new vents. Basically I'm skinning it and working from the outside in.

I finally bit the bullet and started the wiring needs for a house battery. For some reason I thought I could finish by the next weekend. We shall see!

See my blog post for details and pics.
