So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

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 use a remote temp gauge in my home to monitor the camper inside temp. This would be a good idea especially if you are using a space heater. A cheap one from Wal-Mart (under $10).

started to build a new bumper stair connection for my bigfoot camper , based on Mr. beagle's design.

I noticed the outside temp was dipping close to freezing so I went out and plugged in the ceramic heater and made sure one roof vent was cracked.

While I was out there I installed a new sink stream/spray attachment. The old one did not have a wide enough spray - we really like the wide spray for rinsing dishes.

Returned home with it at 8:30pm and did a partial winterize on it at 9pm tonight.

I went inside and sat at the dinette for a while, then up on the bed for a bit... dreaming of the day when I will be able to take it out ... for the first time since I purchased it last August!! Life sure can get in the way sometimes!!! 😞

Installed the new batteries I bought a week or so ago.

Finished the charging line upgrade from truck to camper that I started at least 4 years ago. New thread coming soon.

Hey Gary, Where did you end up buying the AGMs?

[ggadwa]

Well after additional research I chose the AGM's in 220 Amp and 6 volt version. Determined that supposedly AGM's recharge faster and they allow
discharge to below 50% which is the max you should discharge wet cells. They certainly cost more than wet cells, however again I don't have to fight to get the batteries out of the tight Eagle Cap 950 battery compartment 4 times a year to service them.....Installing them today.

I'm sorry, but this just has me giggling.

Yeah, you Massachusetts folks have just been dumped on for snow. Wow!
