Lance 9000 Project
Hello, The DW and I purchased a 1987 Lance 9000 a couple of weeks ago and we are preparing for a winter project. Since our Springdale TT has been designated as our "second home" on some property we pu...

Due to other pesky projects the 9000 isn’t taking off to the grand start I had hoped but I am making some progress. Other than working on upgrading the pedestal, I give up on the fridge for now and decided to make the rounds with the other equipment. The A/C and the hot water heater and water pump are all working normally. The furnace was blowing the fuse when turned on. I pulled it out and found the blower motor locked up by a dirt daubers nest, cleaned it up but it seems to have still have excessive resistance so I’ll have to add that to the list but for now I’ll probably add a heat strip to the A/C unit. Speaking of the A/C unit I had thought it had been added aftermarket due to the orange extension cord coming out of the unit over to the wall plug.
But while checking the charger to find why it wasn’t working, something else that will need to be replaced, I found a melted neutral wire in the converter/charger. Haven’t traced it down yet but I’ll be opening up the A/C and see if that is where it goes next chance I get. I’m hoping to get a frame built for a tarp to go over the 9000 when I start doing some serious search for water damage. It is hard to see in this picture
but it looks like the cooler cover was ineffective in keeping the water out looking at the discoloration in the cabinets on both sides of the fridge. Looking at the cabinet set up it looks like they are attaches from the outside so I’ll be pulling at least the roof off. If anyone knows if they are attached differently please let me know. But I had planned on having to remove the roof and possibly the walls. Good opportunity to upgrade materials and add more insulation. I emailed Lance to see what kind of info I could get from them.
