Well Sleepy shamed me into a project I have put off for way too long.
Replaced the 40 year old seat cushion foam with some high density foam . Wow , my bony butt is still thanking my head .

I have been waxing my Lance 780 Truck Camper, I have about 65% of the camper and truck waxed. I usually do it once a year, got lazy and let it go for 2 years. Even with all the rain in the Bay Area, the previous wax job held up.

Looked at the 12" of new snow on the roof that we received yesterday and thought to myself, today is the first day of spring I'm ready to go camping.

Installed new faucet. $20 from Ikea. Nice, heavy brass internals.
Decided not to spend too much since it will never see constant use. It's fine for what we do and use it for.

Removed the basin since the seal was was pretty much gone. Made access easier.

Not a fan of connecting metal threads to plastic, but I couldn't locate any plastic 1/2" MIP X 3/8" comp. fittings.

The plastic, OE faucet took up more counter space than necessary, so I mounted the new one off to the side and plugged it with this chrome piece.

So much more room an workability around this area now. Single handle...no more spillage mishaps unlike with the handles

Looks good! I like the new faucet location which is more out of the way and provides for even more counter space.

Loaded it up onto the truck for a multi day trip to Galveston. First trip of the spring and a warmup for our annual Keys trip in April. Just put it on and now I'm going to stock food, fill water, and get all set for an early morning departure.
