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

Took the camper off the tuck and getting ready to repaint the base and ceiling. Gathered the spare parts from the junk yard to turn my truck into a "camper" special. Getting everything ready for a maiden voyage.

Hit a patch of ice and had the rear end of the truck swing like a pendulum (No camper on at the time, was hauling one of my 100lb bottles out to the gas station to get it refilled) while climbing up onto the bridge off the island. Front tires held, rear tires swung side to side until control was regained.

Camping (dry camping) at Bodaga Bay, California, so far today I just started the Honda and made a pot of coffee, then turned on the water heater.

The suns a shinning, looks like another 45 to 50 degree sunny day.

Do you mean Bodega bay Nor Cal? If so which campground? Doren? Wrights? Just wondering I'm about 30 min. away and I think my brother was at Doren this weekend in hi Fiver.

Raided the TC Pantry for ingredients to make tamales.
Plugged in the battery charger.
Ran the water pump.
Inspected the interior for any signs of water infiltration.
It will be in the 20’s tonight so I wanted to be sure the electric heat was on and the TC furnace would kick on as backup if the electric shuts off.
Everything looks fine and ready to go.

I washed off all the black lines off and waxed the nose. Im starting to look like Popeye after the second application.

I used Turtle wax for the first time in decades and was very pleased with the results.

Put child safety locks on the cabinets over the kitchen sink. I emptied the cabinets the other day making a turn while heading home.

Installed new soap dispenser for the kitchen sink. Got tired of the pump soap dispenser spewing soap every time it gets cold then heats up. (not to mention having to pick it up and put it away, then find it in the cabinet when we get to where we are going)

Replaced this:

Installed some razor strop hooks for hanging items in the camper. I hate the massive hooks offered by the big box stores and much prefer the razor strop hooks because of their small size.

Cleared snow and ice off the top of the ADCO and inspected for mice/squirrel entry. Dreamed of getting on the road again.
