Fitted up a receiver and welded it. Then welded that to the front frame members.

I welded up a 2 x 4 steel carrier and repainted it last night in the garage. Got done at 3-am.

Yesterday I installed the Boondocker! Yay!!!! It's all done now! I did take pictures of both installations (meter and converter/charger) and now have to take the time to write it all up and post the photos.... Hopefully this week!

Oh! and the BONUS was when I took out the old Magnatek converter I found the reason why the fresh water meter wasn't working.... a simple common wire disconnect! The nut had worked it's way off, so with that little fix ... I now have a properly working fresh water meter! Yay!!!! [emoticon]

Just got back from being gone from it for a few days, venting out the stale air from being closed up tight with the A/C running.

Sold it and bought an "OLD" diesel pusher. I guess my next step will be to sell the truck and buy a car. Then maybe I'll have time to work on fixing up the "OLD" motorhome. (And believe me, it needs some fixing up)

Oh, I need to update my signature too.....

stocking it up with food for the weekend. I fill in at the Fire Department when they are short operators ( nice to be semi retired) and the station I will be at has less than desirable sleeping arrangements so I will park the TC on the back apron for my weekend residence while on duty.

Took apart my step to the overhead just to see what was there (was hoping for place to install port to fresh water tank) no luck on that regard but did find loose wire harness on my rear view camera which had been causing an intermittent short I couldn't locate!
