I swept another 12" of snow off the roof again for about the dozenth time this winter.

Uncovered it and filled the fresh water tank. We went without power over the weekend into late Monday night and lost everything except propane. The camper while off the truck served us well providing everything we needed including temp power via the generator. So I guess I silently thanked my truck camper for providing what we needed to get through these huge storms.

I hooked up the Lance Electric power cord for the camper and ran 12v power for the on board air yesterday.
Today if I finish the air compressor and tank I'll call it good for a few days.
I've got a few dealers calling me now with $45-48,000. for a new Lance 1172. Those are good numbers for completely loaded models, so we're getting there.

Nice job. Was there something wrong with your other toilet or did you just want an upgrade?

Thanks!

The old one worked fine. This one sits a bit higher and is easier to clean. Also like the foot flush vs. the hand flush. I figured as long as I was pulling the old one out to do the floor anyway...

Here is what we installed

Thanks to all of your help I'll be able to finish connecting the Campers Electrical and get started on the Air Bags and Sway Bars.

Once again, thanks for all your advise !!
