Re: It looks like my truck camper days are over.

Thanks Grit dog, Neither one of those would be enough TC for me, my last one spoiled me. Finding this Jayco was a fluke. I couldn't have found a "matching" TT if I had wanted one.:)1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: It looks like my truck camper days are over.

I'm glad your up and about and back on the road. If your interested, I had to push back the cochlear a few months because we had to go to NY and get dad out of assisted living and into full time care. We were going to bring him here to Florida but I'm the only one here and my sisters are in NY. It was a better choice. Ironically we are doing the exact same thing with her "wife's" mother about 6 miles down the road. I'll be 61 on July 6th and it will be my turn soon enough. Got out one time this year to the beach the rest has just been crazy.... Anyway, I'm so glad you are able to get another shot at life I hope the rest of us are as lucky. Take care and God Bless. Joe Just one sensor, the temperature sensor for the temp gauge. And one in the gas tank for the gas gauge. LOL Thanks Joe. Its tough when our parents get to that point. Mom was in an assisted living facility for about 1 year, dad was in a rehab place for about 2 weeks when he decided it was time. Dad made it to 92 and mom was 89. That was about 12 years ago. They pasted 6 months apart. My 3 sisters al lived out of state so my brother and I took care of them. It was out turn. I'll be 69 in a few more months. Pretty grateful that I have survived cancer and the accident. And the TT worked out great for me. I'm going camping n it later this week.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Bought a second truck.
I replaced the noisy Flowmaster FlowFX mufflers. They are just like a straight pipe. I replaced them with a pair of Magnaflow Super Turbo mug=fflers. They are much quieter and still a free-flowing muffler. I upgraded the old 2-speed wipers to installed intermittent wipers. I bought and installed a new cigarette lighter too. I never knew they were an option back in 1976. So far I'm pretty happy with the old Ford pickup.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Bought a second truck.
I bought some new tires for the old truck. Those pizza cutter bias ply tires had to go. LOL I had forgotten just how bad they road and just how noisy there were. :R It rides and drives like a brand new truck. :C The truck still needs a lot more work. I need to get my new aluminum radiator installed along with new front and rear brakes. When its ready I bought this TT to tow. :)1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: It looks like my truck camper days are over.
I bought a TT to replace the camper I totaled. This was not what I was looking for. I was looking at newer 19' TTs. My daughter had mentioned to one of her HS friends that I was looking and he sent me a link to this one, it belonged to one of his good friends. I looked at the pictures and told him I was 99% sure I was going to buy it but has to see it in person first. It was 200 miles from where I live. The morning I was goin to go look at it I changed my mind and called him to let him know. A few minutes later he text me and said If I wanted it he's knock off another $100, it was too good to pas up. That made $1500 less than he was asking. I went up last Saturday to look at and bought it. Wednesday a good friend took my to SLC and towed it home for me. My old truck isn't quite ready to start towing. I got all my new bedding and towels in yesterday and still working on getting it ready to go camping. I was not looking for another Jayco TT. I find it pretty funny that's what I ended up with. I live in a Jayco TT that's just one year older than the one I just bought. This is the one I live in. And this is the one I just bought. I do have the important stuff loaded and ready. ;)699Views0likes0Comments
