Topic: So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Posted By: Atchafalaya_man on 11/21/11 10:06pm

Repaired a rotted wing, and then covered the new wood with aluminum flashing material. It will never get wet and rot again. Why doesn't the factory do them this way? Duhhhhh

Today I found that the short on the 110v circuit was caused by a screw from a new awning rail I fitted------not, as I thought, from a fixing bolt from new roof box !!!! So I isolated one power outlet, now everything (except that one outlet) working fine.
I also fitted another 240v outlet----European electrics are 220v/240v-----------but we use 110v to run laptops, cameras, mobile phones etc.--------------------------I am happy with progress today

After a solid week of brutal pacific northwest wind and rainstorms I went to check on the lance today.We live in a townhouse that doesnt allow rv storage so its in my freinds driveway,10 minutes away.I am so glad I put a cover on it,I got my trusty flashlight and climbed in,doing a c.s.i. type of water intrusion inspection,lol,all went well,no leaks.I found a can of beer,left over from our last trip and enjoyed it while listening to the rain pound on the roof,oh my,I am looking forward to the spring.Its our first tc and the first winter putting it away for the winter,next year its going under a barn roof,with a cover,lol

Check over my sealing job in depth today, after letting it sit uncovered in the deluge that we got on Sunday. Not a drip or a drop inside and the seal job looks great.

Replaced the two big O-Rings on the kitchen faucet's main post and stopped the little leak that was present when the faucet was opened all the way. $2.79 and 15 minutes. Life is good.

Replaced the OEM solar plug on the roof with a new solar panel combiner box from AM Solar. I've ordered a couple 60 watt panels and will need the combiner box for the additional inputs.

I have a long list for my new to me SunLite. I just finished swapping out the G27 battery for a G31 Trojan. Added a battery meter and 12 volt receptacle.

Next on the list is convert the closet to shelves and build a bed spacer/basement so it clears my tall Ford cab.
