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.

In the past two weeks....replaced the upper and lower hinges on the door, they were very stiff and had started pulling the frame off the door. Took out the dinette table and made a "u" seat for more lounging room. Putting together a new detachable custom table in its place. If anyone is looking for a collapse-able table out of an arctic fox DM me. Looking at putting cork flooring in too, in the next two weeks.

Sounds great, can you post pictures when you have it done?

One of the best mods I made to my TC. I installed mine over the bathroom vent, after I installed my Sureflo fan. I leave now the vent open, rain, wind, or whatever.

I added dually hinges. That wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. I backed the DRW far enough to lower it mostly on the bed, and then cranked away. I'm not sure I have it folding quite right, so that is left to do. It seems really close to the plugs, and I'm not sure if that is ok or not.

I also used AMSOIL lubricant like WD-40 to lube the jack switch that has been intermittent. I picked up this hint here by searching, and it seems to work great.

Today I dug the Harley Hauler Trailer out of a snowbank. Moved it into the garage. Worked over the wheel bearings and then loaded the Harley in and secured. I think I'm getting awfully anxious to depart for the Oregon Coast Friday morning. I have had the Camper and Truck all ready to role since last week. Just have to fill with water, hook up Trailer and hit the road....
IF only the wife didn't have a city council meeting Thursday...she is so dedicated to her volunteer job and I am SO READY to head out on the road.

GARY and Laurii
Stanley Idaho where it is still snowing every day!!!!

Just installed the bigwig to my truck along with the 3500 pound super springs ......will be towing a 16' cargo trailer with all my tools , as I am a retired shop teacher and can't give up my shop Yet!

Touched up the T/C inside, fairly clean already...changed the sheets and it is ready for our old friend to stay in next week. A studio apt.
How about that. What would an extra guest bedroom and bathroom cost to add to your house? Not to mention an extra kitchen and living room with a sofa. Cozy, eh.

[RWDIII]

Replaced the outside cover,that covers the refrige.
did some boony camping 2 weeks ago outside of Desert :SCenter.
checked out what is left of the Patton Camps near Granite mt and Rice.
Anyway ran out of Propane and had to drive 50 miles to get some.While checking Frige I failed to latch it back up and it came off.
hade to go to Bronco dealer to find one.:S

Fostering another Cattle Dog to take up some more space on the floor.

[SpknTC]

Took it for a drive and had lunch in it. Basically enjoying it!

[Buzzcut1]

pulled out and laundered the bedding and towels, washed the carpet runners, swept out all the dirt, 409ed all reachable surfaces to de grime it from last weekends mudfest in preparation for filthing it back up again on this weekends fishing trip

[JumboJet]

Pulled it out of the storage bay to prep for the Texas TC Rally in Kerrville, TX.

Cleaned the floors, removed the bedding for washing, filled with water, added new supplies, swapped out empty LP tank, etc.

Last trip was to Bristol, TN for the NASCAR race and wife said it had too many camp fire and grown men smells in it.

scrubbed the roof clean and checked all seals. stripped and re-caulked the seams inside the camper where the floor meets the cabinets and walls. then gave the camper a real good cleaning inside. later this week sometime i will do a scrubbing of the bbq that we have mounted on the back. including cleaning burners and all that.

Love your website. It has been a HUGE help and inspiration to us with the info about batteries, converters and solar panels. With us starting from scratch (literally nothing left on the interior of our re-build) and being that we are "new" first time TC owners, it has been a little harrowing to say the least.

Wow, thanks, Deb. I'm glad to hear that its helpful. That's my main hope.
