    Out with the Mag-lights My 2D cell Mag-lights just got to big and heavy, so I switch to the 5” lightweight LED Cree 3 AAA battery type. And found a nice place in my TC next to the door making it east to grab them at night. I used large fishing rod holders to mount them. See pics

    steps? Mike. I hope you brought scissor step, as your family will thank you climbing into the camper, I also have a double step over the battery step box so it's a lot easier to get up into the bed. Your Camper & Truck are a good match. I'm sure we will meet sometime camping.=brian

    Late Model Chevy 1500 options for old Viking Popup?

    1500 is too light. best to stay with the diesel. 1100lbs unit needs a minimum 3/4 ton. you will not get better MPG with a small/lighter gas truck. just my opinion, brian
