Lagun Table Leg For The Bigfoot Camper
Many truck campers have a rudimentary dinette table mount, usually a metal tube that inserts into a floor mount, and into a corresponding mount on the underside of the table. Ours was no different. A year or so ago I replaced the original table with this egg-shaped one that took up less space and used only one of the two legs from the original larger table. It was an improvement in space optimization but still was lacking somehow.

Should I create a new blog? Nah.
For this next entry I wondered if I should branch off and create a completely new blog for things that I want to write about that aren't sewing machine related. I actually went so far as to create the new blog, but then I contemplated....... and decided to just write about things outside the realm of Sewing Machine-dom on this blog. I actually have done that once or twice in the past, but I may do it more often from now on. So without further ado, here we go.
We have a camper. A truck camper to be more precise in RV lingo. Growing up I'd just called them campers though. So to me it is still just a camper. And here it be in all its glory, among the redwoods in Northern California. Oh, and there we are too.
The camper is a 2002 Bigfoot 25C8.11 that we purchased used in 2013. The truck is a 1996 Ford F250 4x4, with a 7.3L powerstroke diesel engine, crew cab (4-doors), and a short pickup bed. We also purchased it used, in 2002. The camper is designed specifically for short-bed pickups.
The reason for this blog entry is to document the electric rear steps I just got done installing on the camper.

Excitement for the week - tire blowout
Not sewing machine related, but we were on a camping trip with our pickup truck and camper the last several days. Coming home on the final 100 miles of our 1200 mile trip we had a blowout on the left rear. A loud motorcycle was just passing us on the left and we heard a very loud *bang*. We figured it was the m/c but all of a sudden our truck started swaying. My son was driving and he got the truck pulled to the side without incident. Here's the damage:
