I have to be fugal watching you spend!

MUR: (Mundane Update Report) I have been getting a lot of little things done with the camper. Mostly I am seeing what it needs, where things fit, and ordering parts.

I ordered a Furoin 7" backup camera system. My Palamino is prewired for it so that installation will be easy and straightforward...Say goodbye to $540!!!

Next, I researched the Lippert ladder system. It's nothing big, just an expanding ladder with a couple of hooks to fit the ladder receptacle that is attached to my camper. Actually, I see no place to store that ladder, so dunno on that one. Maybe it will fit in the bed alongside the camper's body???

I ordered a soft start capacitor that should allow me to start the AC on 20 amps of power in lieu of the 30 it usually takes.

I noticed the camper rocks all over the place while sitting on the extended legs. so I am looking at a strut system to shore that up. we plan to dismount the camper in Wyoming for 4-5 days while we camp alongside a lake.

The slide and awnings work like a champ, so that's 100%, actually even better. Turns out the mechanics rebuilt the bottom of the slide-out with quality 3/4" plywood, whereas the factory built it with OSB. Holman motors overlaid that with aluminum sheeting to add strength and a moisture barrier. So, I guess its better than new!

I have been storing things, to determine where they need to fit and am knee-deep in figuring out how I will mount a generator to the back bumper. I am thinking I can get away with the solar and lithium support I already have if I add a small 2KW gas generator. So I want to add a cabinet to house the generator and get a little more storage space. Something like an upright wall locker will do, I am thinking.

So that's where it is today...Work continues as we close down to 7-ish weeks prior to departure on the big trip this year.

You are the scroungenest (Is that a word?) individual I think I have ever known!

That is a performance indicator on NCO performance reports. Was introduced to a new commander by my chief. Sir, this is Sgt Wall. If you need anything, just let him know. But you can never ask where it came from. I was proud of that. LOL

Yea, I know your type.
I was the officer having to explain to the other commander why the "thing" was missing while in my possession!!!!!

:-))

Yep, I sold my folding steps too. Going up to Reno I found I like the side protection for the truck. Sure I have to step up a little more, but its a trade off.

Talking on bumpers, I have had a nice HD bumper kinda hidden in the garage for the last few years. It came out a couple weeks ago and getting ready to go on. I've been lucky on the "road kill" side so far.
