Ok, one year (give or take) since completing the camper. Just finished a 2500 mile road trip from Maryland to Oshkosh, WI. Ten days on the road, including three days in a Walmart parking lot.
Overall it’s getting comfortable to use the camper, definitely some learning curves. I have pretty much solved the galley water intrusion problems with additional weatherstripping. I added two 5” x 24” ceramic tiles in the galley go run the Colman propane single burner stove on, to protect the galley deck (see pic above). Big problem on the road through! With road bumps and vibration the tiles won’t stay in place! I’m about to go ballistic over this (after trying at least 4 different fixes) and drill holes in the tiles and just bolt them down. I have glued 1/8” rubber on the bottom of the tiles.
The pickup and camper combo is working well. Having the hard tonneau bed cover on the truck gives me the needed road trip storage volume I need for cooler, water, all sorts of stuff.
The basic camper is holding up really really well. The time spent sealing and fiberglassing is paying off.
I will post more later..
