Glued the wire holders back on that hold the D.U.H. system on, yesterday. Curiously, the ones that came loose were in different positions on each side, go figure. In the middle one one side, and the front on the other. Put the pvc and guide back in place.

Painted the stripe to line up on the front of the camper, and painted a stripe on my rubber mat for the back of the truck. Replaced the stainless D-ring that I use as light weight tie downs in the bed of the truck. Technically, truck, but that one came loose on of the last times I was using it to hold the cord that plugs in the bed out of the way.

Changed all the vent covers today, on our last trip noticed that they had deteriorated to the point of turning into powder. While I was up on the roof touched up all the seams.

Replaced the Fantastic Fan vent cover today. When I bought the camper it was cracked already (although it was covered by a MaxAir vent cover.) Last week it fell to pieces.

Got a white double layer model from Amazon

I hacked up a piece of 1x6 and threw the pieces on a disc sander to make some bumper extensions. This gives me a fat 1/2" at my truck's taillights. After screwing the first version onto the existing bumpers, I realized it would be best if they didn't extend past the top of the rubber bumpers, preventing a snag on my truck's bed rail while loading/unloading the camper. So, I took 'em off and cut/sanded 'em again. I debated about epoxy, and decided against it, for now. The screws are #10x1.25".
