Truck Camper Laser Alignment 2
Today I go into precise detail on how I designed and installed a new Truck Camper Laser Alignment 2. My original laser alignment design worked great for about 10 years until I got my new truck. The new truck with heavy tinted windows and tall seats made seeing the laser for alignment very difficult. This new design allows complete visibility using my side view mirror and is even more visible in daytime lighting!

Stone Pine Trees - Seeds to Seedlings

Excellent video with step by step instructions. I am Ms. Fix it and was able to easily replace my igniter with your instructions. Thanks so much!
Quick tip, buddy has a 2015 f150, doors are starting to corrode in the typical areas they do when they're steel. Spray the cavities. I was shocked too.
I got my parts and made modifications to make the laser mount removable. I used a Bull Accessories anchor p# 3000. A 1/4” pipe strap. A 10-24 1/2” screw and nut and a piece of rubber. Lined the strap with the rubber and bent it around the anchor. Screwed in the mount Charlie recommended. Holds pretty solid when tightened down. Still allows for some adjustments. Wish I could add the pic.
This is ridiculously genius. Wow. Since this was 4 years ago, wondering if someone patented this and is selling it now. If so, hopefully it is Mr. Coushaine.
New to this My truck has existing rust, is there any prep work you need to do before applying?
This worked perfectly for me. Thank you!
I think he should have used 3” schedule 80 water pipe in place of the ABS for maximum overkill.
SHould have filled the bucket with water... adds 40#s
What if your Weber traveler won’t start after replacing the igniter? How would u be able to troubleshoot that?
If you buy a variable flow pump would this not add any benefit over that? Seems like this converts an on/off pump to a variable flow pump but please correct me if I misunderstood.
Or you could just find a flat cast-iron
Nicely done!!
very nice photography best i have seen for this repair!
nice job big Dawg!!
Tried all sorts of methods to no effect, until Mole Eliminator worked. Has scissor like action and they are trapped. Caught 3 no more issues.
curious, how many PSIs are you spraying at? what does Surface Shield recommend for the PSI? Thank you.
I copied your 1st design and used it with our truck camper. It worked really well, making it much easier to load. Version 2 looks to be even better!
LOL
thank you sir you encourage me to plant one
Brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻 I want to do this, new to truck camper and it takes me a good 30 minutes, on a good day to load, jumping in and out of the truck to check progress and sometimes having to attempt it 3 or four times 😡
Go for it!
Charles - YOU are the MAN! I had bought a green laser level but didn't really know how to go about setting it up. I am going to go by your directions ... and Thank You for showing everybody how to do it. I ordered the necessary products thru your Amazon Affiliate website. I have been a subscriber since I bought my TC - about 9 months ago and am so glad I found your channel. I have watched most of your camp/truck related videos. Keep 'em coming ~ cause I'm watching 'em!!!
Glad to help
Happy to see it worked out well Charlie!
Thanks Charlie. Always great ideas. Just ordered everything I needed to do laser 2.0 I’ll repurpose the OG one to something else.
Sounds great!
Job well done, you always amaze me.
Like this one better then the old one. After seeing your first one, Build one out of a laser level like your using now. Made loading our Eagle Cap 1200 so easy. Will be building this one now. Thanks and keep the great ideals coming.
Fantastic idea. I built my own copy of your first laser system and it worked great. But now I have an EOG built flatbed. Much easier to load but if I needed a guide I'd build your v2 of this system. Thanks for sharing.
how about attaching laser mt to stake pocket cover then buy extra cover to install when not in use
Great idea but on my truck the covers are really flimsy, and I mounted to the actual bed rail for more stability and to be further back to avoid hitting camper!
Great idea !!!
Great video. I didn't even look at the manual.
Where’s the amazon link
It's in the description below the video on UA-cam GRISUN 7628 Igniter Kit for Genesis 310 and 320 Gas Grills, 2011 & Newer (Front Mounted Control Panel) Electronic Ignitor, Electrodes Ignitions Kit Weber Genesis 300 Series Gas Grill a.co/d/2HgZq5t
Hi, after a while does this smell or create mosquitoes, etc?
Check our accumulator tanks... we use them on boats
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😀
thank you uncle ❤ lovely update God bless you
nice man thank you for the update ❤❤❤❤
❤
nice, please give another update now. Is it still there?
This WAS AWESOME!!! Thank you!!!
awesome!!! thankyou so much for sharing this video!
One major question. All looks real nice. Now comes the problem of how to store the steps. Folding straight up possibly with a clamp on the outside of the camper door? How would you do that if I may ask. Thank you.
I have found the easiest way to store the steps is in the back seat of my truck!
Use a leaf blower, air compressor, or Mega Maid set from suck to blow and circulate the smoke with air
This makes me randy baby
Take the washers off the pump
In Florida the voice effect sounds like he is talking from the future.
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for! Clear instructions and demonstration.
Good job Charles! You sound deliberate enough to have been an engineer in some capacity during your work life.
Brilliant!
Nice! Very helpful. Thank you!
I dropped one of the fuses on the grass and never found it. So, be careful not to drop one.
What an excellent video🤛🏻appreciate it much
Looks like it would work
