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...

Haven’t had much time to work on the TC over the last few weeks but I did make a little progress. I did get an email back from Lance and was really surprised at the amount of info they sent to me. I received what are basically the building plans with everything I would need to build it from scratch right down to the size of the wood used. This will come in very handy with the work I have a head of me.
As for what I have accomplished since my last post, I pulled the inside cover off the A/C unit and found the original electrical wires, with my meter I check for continuity to the melted wire in the fuse box and as I suspected it is the same wire. Still not sure what caused the wire to melt but the main wire from the unit to the fuse box is ok. The wire that is connected with a wire nut from the breaker to the main A/C wire is. Just have to wait until I get into the wall and ceiling to know for sure.
I removed the furnace again and disassembled the blower motor, after inspecting the brushes and lubing the bearings I was disappointed that it is still blowing the fuse.
Fortunately the stove and oven are working properly; I pulled it out to get a better look under the cabinet.
It’s hard to see but the main electrical box is under the stove; the electrical and city water outlets both are accessible from the underside on the left side. The problem with their location is when on the truck the hose and the cord come in contact with the left fender.
I plan on moving both to the side wall
The water will be moved to the left front with the water tank fill and the electrical will be connected with a Marinco easy lock connection to the right of the battery box.
I am hoping tomorrow to get that structure built around the 9000 that I plan to put tarps on. In a couple of weeks I’ll start removing the roof and outside metal. More details and pics to come
