The Truck Camper Wiki

This originally was a Campground Guide thread, but its now evolving into the Truck Camper Wiki thread. I've decided to start a Wiki to storehouse all the data that has been useful pertaining to our love of Truck Campers.

In order to make this feasible, the use of a Wiki was the best course. This allows for individual members of the forum to submit data to the wiki.

Right now, its kind of rough around the edges and in need of alot of work, so for now, I'm going to start it out as an archive of Word OF Mouth info about campgrounds, boondocking musts, and so forth.

Please sign up and contribute, once I get things more setup, I will invite some our more regular members to become mods for the wiki, including any current mods for this forum who want to play a part .

Please read "Notes on Adding to the Directory" to help format you entries on the site.

I've supplied a basic form for creating Wiki Entries for those that aren't familiar with the syntax. Simply fill in the data requests in the form, then click the "Create..." button at the bottom and a Wiki Entry will be displayed for you. Cut and paste the wiki entry to the appropriate category for the State the campground is in.

Yeah, Baby! Electric Atwood Jacks

I simply couldn't pass this one up, even if it meant pulling some money on the credit line.







The jacks are used, but very well kept. They came off a 1994 Weekender 12' Camper that looks like its brand new still. The owner has had it since it was new and its been inside of a heated shop anytime it wasn't being used. Hell, there isn't even a scratch in the paint on these.

We hooked them all up and ran them all with a lifting load to make certain they ran true, smooth and quiet .

The camper's owner decided to upgrade to a newer set of Atwoods but with the wireless remote this time vs the exterior buttons.

The jacks attached to the front without a problem, the back brackets I will need to cut a small notch in the top one of the two bolting points to allow the jack motor head to clear, but that'll take very little time with a sawzall to do.

Because these are older Atwoods and do not use the welded on brackets, no drilling was required to make them fit, as they use the same attaching method as the Reico Hydraulics that preceeded them.

And Yes, I deliberately put the controls on the back of the camper. It shortens the wiring runs to the battery and also makes it easier to operate the jacks, don't have to walk around the truck all the time.

Now, for the best part, the Price

Can you guess it?
