Here are a few pics of the fan. Just to give people a good laugh. And what's up with the 6 inch cover plate? My roof is like 1 1/2 inch thick. Going to have to trim that a bit...

Lets move away from electrical for a post or two. I am curious if most use the water tank? I have about 1/4 inch of water in the tank and who knows how long it has been there. I have read the cleaning process; which seems simple enough. I assume the following. I fill the tank and it does...

Time for my weekly update. I managed to get the truck power to the camper over the weekend. I would like to say that I did a fine job of creating a clean professional looking connector. Turned out that I might very well be a redneck (although one of the more rare snowflake kind). After 3...

Fun with electricity. Ok trying to get the 12v figured out. I have already tested the camper on shore power. The electrical outlets as well as the lights all seem to function as expected. I next want to get a 12V battery installed. As you can see from a picture previous I have some strange...

I have 4 screw type jacks with the tripod bases. It will go up to just about far enough, but any further and it seems to have a week spot where it falls back down a couple of inches. Scared the "#$%" out of me. Luckily I was just repositioning the camper on the box. But before I get too...

Those Brophy steps are spot on. Can you discuss the up fit a bit more?

Today was a good day. Great weather and no work. I took advantage of it and went to work (fun) on the camper. First I repositioned that camper. Moved it up a few inches forwardwhich does not seem like much, but it made a noticeable difference in driving the old V6. Had 1 jack fail which was...

doing some research on the camper I have found the following: White is ground, green is running lights, and black is constant power to everything inside the camper. I used a lead wire and a buddy to help me figure it out. Actually, my buddy figured it out before he was done with his first beer...

First off, Aluminum roof. I am just not that smart. Ordered the fantastic fan and sealer. Will take pics of the installation next weekend. Right now I am kinda (ok really) struggling to get the camper electrified. The Sun-Lite has a 4 prong connector (round) with a black, white, and green...

Just for perspective. When I am done the kitchen area will look something like this. Of course at scale for the truck camper.

Ok. Now that my first post is out of the way... I should probably mention a least a bit about my truck. It is a 2002 Ford F-150 V6 4X4 manual. Meaning it did not have a lot of power to begin with and the camper does not help 1 bit. However it only has 45K, and I am rather fond of it. It...

I believe this may be my first post. At least it is, having anything relevant to say/ask. I have watched for several years as I saved my pennies. My dollars go towards our son's college tuition at least for another year. Well the stars aligned a few weeks ago and I came home with a 2002...
