I just thought it would be interesting to see what everyones "best" mod they have done to there truck camper. Looking for the things that has made the camper easier to use, or things that you could not live without now.

Honestly it was moving the sewer valve handles.

Before the pull handles were close to the outlet pointing down. I had to reach below the connected hose up under the camper to open the black valve. I rotated the valve and added an extension. Now I'm back away from the hose so I don't have to worry about drips or even worse if the connection came off. Plus they are much easier to operate and they are protected by the skirting.

Dino board, life is much nicer when your food that should stay cold does just that.

I really like the design and would like to mimic it to some extent, can you put it up/put it away after stopped and stealth boon docking?

I am trying to figure out how to accomplish both...have deck, but not be visible when inside (meaning getting the deck up).
