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.

Framed in the last set of joists for the fantastic fan that's being transferred from the kit to the Amerigo, ordered the fiberglass cloth and resin to glass the raised roof area that's going in above the new bathroom in the Amerigo.

Changed out my old automotive inverter to a "fanless" 200 watt true sine wave inverter from TRC Electronics

[deltabravo]

Changed the door handle/lock and baggage compartment locks to keyed alike locks from Global Link.

Lock upgrade

[joe123]

Replace the cam lock on propane compartment.

Back on July 16th I installed a new AC unit. The compressor seized on the old unit.



I also upgraded to a Boliy Pro3600SIE Inverter Generator

Lowered it a bit more because it seemed too wobbly. We've been staying it on the weekend in the same place for a few weeks off truck.

[Rubiranch]

Loaded it on the truck.
Did a bunch of cleaning, filled the fresh water tank.

Measured the black tank capacity - more than I thought. 🙂
Don't care about the gray, its more "dumpable".

Ran the new generator and new AC. Perfect.

Once again, road ready.

Leaving Friday. 😄

The new look looks good.

Also inspected the ultra thin roof :0

[JoeChiOhki]

Installed the last 2x2 cross braces to stiffen the spot where the range hood vent is at, and the horizontal stiffeners for where the front half's walls plywood will seam together.

Also uninstalled the water heater, I made the mistake of installing it early on after pulling it from the KIT, and now I had to take it back out so I could install the plywood on the wall and router out the openings for the windows and the water heater and other fittings.

I like it. 🙂



Cleaned and scrubbed the inside and did all the laundry.

Hopefully I'll get out within the next week or so.

Not just today, but the last two weeks. I had to wait days and days for the wooden framing to dry out so I could treat the wood with Minwax wood saver. I have a persistent leak and I have had to replace floor twice long the back edge of the rig. I also stripped most of the old caulk from around the roof stuff. One area I found was that the skylite above the bath none of the screws hand been tightened down. I also found a small hole at the metal angle between the roof and back wall which I'm sure was one of the problems.The second area that I'm suspicious of is the area where the bumper and the back wall joins. I resealed it then put some tape over the entire length of the area.

It looks so tiny, lol. Nice shop building.

Finally got the pain in the arse cabover walls done. Just need to cut a couple of much easier corner pieces and all the wall paneling in the cabover will be finished, then I can start moving a little faster, as the cabover has been nothing but a huge time sink due to the angles and shape of the wall panels.

I will have new bloggy goodness for it soon. :).
