We made one final mod before our Alaska trip. Replaced the wire baskets in our Arctic Fox 1150 pull out pantry with wooden shelves - doubled our storage space!

Installed a new set of Torklift aluminum Talons tie down system, front and rear. The rear set (C3206A) has been nicely redone to fit 07.5-10 Chevy/GMC with factory or Reese Titan hitch. They might even work with the Superhitch, since they are a completely new design and mount to the truck completely different from the first set that I installed 5 years ago. The right rear one also has more clearance to the large diesel tail pipe on my truck. The Talons are much lighter than the old steel and as usual with Torklift products they are very well made. I think I will really like these aluminum no rust tie downs.

I want to take my truck and Palomino Bronco camper on the beach here on Cape Cod. All campers must be self contained with both Gray water and Black water holding tanks. My Bronco was equipped with a toilet and black water tank but did not have a gray water tank. I usually ran a hose from the sink into a Gerry can outside the truck. This is not allowed on the Cape Cod beaches.

I went to the Dollar store and bought a 5 gallon, clear container and installed it next to my battery where I had previously 3 storage containers:

Being clear I'll be able to observe when it is getting full. I fabricated a fitting for the drain hose from some PVC fitting I had kicking around.


Now what to do with the three storage containers that used to live here:

Mount them to the ceiling. Using some oak I had hanging around I made a few "tracks" to suspend them from the ceiling:




Now I just need to figure out a way to secure them so they don't fall out when traveling.

Any Ideas???

I'm with you, Kerry. The TL Talons rock! No longer will I have to deal with rust proofing and painting on an annual basis.
