You can do what I did. I just added a set of some cheap LED floodlights off Epay and run them off of a switch in the cab. I think I paid 30 bucks shipped. I use them as worklights too.

Hauled this home

Bought this the day after Christmas. Guessing it weighs roughly 2700-3000 pounds.

New years day drove out to Argve and picked up some different mirrors since I can't really see to well behind me with the tow mirror extenders. He also had a re manufactured passenger door still in the box that fits my truck. (now I can get rid of the only door filled beyond the limit of bondo 3/16" thick) Thank you Argve. Then went to few towns over and picked up a passenger door for my sons truck re manufactured door new in box for $20.

Coming home was a little rough with the camper on the truck going against the wind. kept kicking down out of overdrive so I just turned it off. Then the truck started to run hot according to the dummy gauge.

Unloaded the camper truck is a little happier.

Installed a Tekonsha P3 and redid all the trailer wiring today. I'm planning on getting a 5th wheel when I find something that is cheap and is worth the money. Just need to figure out why my backup lights aren't working...

I've been very happy with my P3. The 22' Fifth wheel I had was very responsive with it's tandem axle braking. Loved towing that trailer.

Swapped out fuel filter heads....one in truck leajed profusely around stupid heater plug.

Now to drill and tap and plug one in preparation for a FINAL replacement. May adapt a port for pressure sending unit for my fuel pressure guage.

Replaced the front axle shaft ujoints on the ttb D44, dug the Western out form around behind the shop and got it mounted back on Mater and shoved my Superduty in the shop for some engine work. :)

I successfully plumed a new Drain tube from Banks Turbo to dump inside the Driver Valve cover , Plugged the VP hole with pipe thread plug for good . ENG is Bone dry now ,my driveway is free of oil stains , the most important part is that my Rebuild OEM Mits start no longer getting oil soaked . Drove it for well over 2300 Miles loaded with zero issue .
