Acquired new camper and new upgrade project.


On Oct 12 2015, I finally secure our new camper.  I paid $1500 for a 2002 Rockwood Premier 2317g Pop-Up camper.  This camper has a slide out dining area and extended to 23ft.  The camper visually is much more bigger than my Coleman Destiny.







The seller offered to tow the camper to my home and I jumped on his offering.  This new camper required a 7 pin connector.  My tow vehicle only come with flat 4 pin connector.  Therefore, to tow this camper, I need some upgrade for my tow vehicle.  Here is a list of part required for my 2003 Honda Pilot.

From etrailer.com

1.  Derale AT Transmission Cooler Kit   $57
2.  Derale 4-pass PS Cooler Kit  $30
3.  Air Lift bag kit  $103
4.  Universal Install kit for trailer brake controller kit  $66
5.  Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller  $95

This will be a fall/spring project.  

Also send email to rockwood inquiring Rooftop AC installation.  I got a reply from Rockwood indicate my pop-up can install Rooftop AC.  They attached an installation guide.  This will be another spring project.  I would need several parts from local hardware store and purchased AC unit online.  

1.  Rooftop AC unit   ~$600
2.  Installation kit   ~$80
3.  Hardware   ~$100
4.  Self installation  ~$0

First upgrade - LED light upgrade.  Done.  All light fixture inside the capture is upgraded to LED.  I have previously purchase LED light bulb from Ebay.  I have many extras left so I'm using the extra LED.  Cost $0.
