The purpose of the TCU thread is to capture some of the informative threads on repairs, replacements, modifications, additions and general projects to our campers & trucks. It’s a great resource for ideas, information and procedures.
Though the intent is to keep them from drifting into obscurity, obviously we can’t add them all and there are a lot of good ones. If you feel a thread warrants being added to this thread, send the address of the thread to me in a PM and it will be considered. Just remember, every thread can't be added, so every nominated thread may not make it. But the goal here is to capture links to the really helpful & informative threads before they fade away into cyberspace.
This thread, Truck Camper University, was originally started by BradW in July of 2005 per Joe’s (growler67) suggestion. It has grown to include a lot of helpful information over the years. As current volunteer maintaining this thread the plan is to continue growing this resource.
Thanks to all who have contributed!
Note; though several included links are quite old and may have dead links within or missing pictures, good info still to be had. A few threads relying totally on missing pictures eventually will be culled where information can no longer be gleaned. Also, don't forget the
Frequently Asked Truck Camper Questions Thread - See Section 24NOTE: AS OF 06/2017 PhotoBucket no longer allows free accounts to link pictures. Many of the threads listed, users pictures were hosted on P/B, hence pictures replaced with P/B upgrade/watermarked picture.
Many picture host sites have closed or no longer host free pictures: Tinypic.com, snapfish, flicker to name a few.
Truck & Camper, papers please:
Safety: Detectors LP (propane), CO (carbon monoxide) detectors & smoke alarms.
ALWAYS react to an alarm as though it were real, never ignore, never assume false alarm- hesitation kills....
That said, detectors can be troublesome-do not last forever.
