Gents,

I realize most of you peruse ExPo in which I originally posted this listing. I'll throw it up here for reference for the searchers.

A listing of modifications and maintenance to be made to a Palomino Bronco 800, or any wood framed camper for overland travel:

1. Jerrycan & mount on rear
2. New Battery (DieHard Platinum)
3. Battery Monitor (voltage reader)
4. Shower Option (sun-shower or similar)
5. DC-DC 7.5 amp Power Stream charger (runs off the truck alt and offers staged charging profiles)
6. Rubber truck bed mat
7. Spring-loaded and cushioned Turnbuckles
8. Torklift Front tie-downs (bumper button on the rear)
9. Re-caulk roof and side seams (did this today, what a PITA!)
10. Spray Wax to maintain rubber roof and siding
11. Pressure regulator 35lbs and garden hose
12. Water filter
13. Axe
14. Mag light (rechargeable with mount)
15. Camper lights converted to LED Lights
16. Air dam under cabover made of 4x4 vinyl posts



Any suggestions welcome. Here's a link to the original thread.
