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

Posted By: garryk6 on 04/15/13 12:13am

Well, Loaded up the Avion a week ago to move it due to 2 dump truck loads of logs delivered. Drove it all week. Saw a new camper at work, and we ended up parking near each other.

Avion looks a bit smaller than the Lance!

Deep Spring cleaning (interior).

A friend of mine did the first service on the truck, and installed the air-ride bags, in cab controller, and mounted the front hitch, as well. Spent about 4 days working on it. Mounted he compressor to the frame, and even built a water tight box around it, in case we hit deep water lol.

It's good to have talented friends.

After the air bags settle in place with a wek of driving, I'll put the camper in the bed and begin those modificatios: back porch, upgraded battery storage, and minor interior repairs.

April 26th: last work day
June 1: Officially retired
June 2: enroute to Alaska, then parts unknown

We might see you on the highway going to Alaska. We're headed up for three months (or so) this summer. Haven't been back since we retired and left in 2009.

My your retirement be full of adventures!

Might see you in Alaska also as we are leaving around May 15th. Look for a Royal Red 350 CC King Ranch with a front rack and tool box (looks like the Beverly Hillbillies) with a NL 10 2.

Congrats on your retirement. Looks like you had some vacation time coming to you when you retired.

I have been reired from my main job since 2002 after 31.5 years and at the age of 53. But I didn't stop working till about 2 years ago from projects on another job. Really nice being retired for good now.

Added a folding counter top extension, new box awning, slide topper, and 2-6V batteries (within last week). Next will be to clean inside and out, de-winterize and hit the road for some fishing!

Moderator note: Your photos were OK. I enlarged them so you might see how it was done, should you chose to do so. I hope you do not mind. If you enter a width=640 (maximum allowable width) the height will take care of it's self. I also put a space between each photo.

Look forward to meeting other TC travelers. Perhaps we could start a thread for people currently travelling in Alaska, making it possible for those who wish to meet up somewhere for a day or so.

We have a Forum for RVing in Canada and Alaska. That is an excellent place to start the thread. It includes all RV types.
