It Begins...New to me 2001 Lance 1010

Nice looking combo.

The problem was that turnbuckles did not have enough angle to pull the camper forward and that is what I see on your set even less than on mine

You can pick up a good bit of angle by swapping the front inserts from side to side so the ears go forward instead of back. This will move the bottom of the tie down forward about 6" and should give you plenty of angle.

Alternative would be to go back to the factory tie down point. Look along the edge underneath, about 10-14" back from the front and you should find a hole for a 3/8" enclosed eye bolt. The eye bolt should screw into a metal bracket embedded in the unit, not the wood.

I'm real curious how the truck handles the unit. I've contemplated moving up to a 1010, but always think the weight is going to be on the heavy side. Have you weighed it by chance? My truck is almost identical to yours, just replace the "C" with a "6.4 Hemi" tag.

Nice looking ride you got there. Congratulations enjoy it while you can.

Looks like a nice setup. Hope you get many years enjoyment from it.

Nice! Congrats.

Congratulations on your new camper. I have longer Lance and had some problems with it sliding back. Not bad, but after 2000 miles it move 1/2".

For FastGuns shopping, just use Google if you want new ones.
I was searching for used ones and 6 months of search found them 3000 miles away. But I got good deal.

be leary of adventure they do not warranty anything and often send a wrong amount out. i ordered a set of jacks as the pic dwscribed they sent one.
when i complained they changed the add but i had the screenshot they still done nothing
