Off-loaded so that I can use the truck to gather some campfire wood. Drained the water heater and fresh water tank. Thought about pumping in the pink stuff. Soon, very soon. Certainly within the next week.

Insulated a little more. There is a lot of place for improvement on the Bigfoot 4 seasons. The generator box only has a thin layer of fiberglass insulation and one area without any isolation, so I hadded a 1 inch Rose Foam toped with a double bubble foil. The propane tank has no insulation at all between the box and the camper, it is just a thin layer of plastic box and the aerated door, so I hadded 3 inch fiberglass with a layer or double bubble.
Behind the shower, the outside shower has no insulation at all, I sprayed some Can Foam over the area.

Spent the day in our TC cutting Reflectix to cover the roof vents and most of the windows.
We don't put our toys away for the winter. That is THE reason we are back in a truck camper- our mobile motel room, all 4 seasons.

Put a piece of 3/4" polystyrene board that has the shiny foil on one side and a piece of 1/2" thick blue Styrofoam (tm) board between the storm window and outside cab window to keep the cabover warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Also put shelves in the cabinets over the kitchen sink.

Finished painting and then installing the mount to hold the tv receiver box which fits on the wall bracket for the tv. Figured out why the generator kept restarting without pressing the start button... the start button outside on the generator was stuck in the "on" position. Easily fixed. Started thinking about what we need to pack for our Christmas weekend away. Wishing we were already retired and could travel in the TC more often.

Re-loaded the TC, centered this time. I'm not sure how I managed to get it 2" off to the drivers side when I loaded it last time. Cut down the wall between the dinette and kitchen that was there to support the bunk above the dinette. It's amazing how much more open the TC is with it gone. We will never use the bunk and we will be re-designing the upper bunk area for more storage and better access with some bigger doors, a new non-hinged front panel and an added shelf, splitting the area into 2 levels.
