VERY SADLY, the TC is headed towards the scrap yard ... :( :( :(
Many years of being outdoors and the dastardly effects of water and winter took their toll.
Time has come to give the Veri-Lite a fond good-bye.
Harvesting a lot of parts from it ... we put a new "core" in the Dometic fridge a few years back, no reason we can't keep it useful; I'm sure I can find some takers for various pieces and parts.
As dismantling began, saw the ravages of wood rot and rust.
The propane heater has still worked like a champ as we have removed the cabinetry, electrical parts, and about a half-million of those (bleep) S-2 square head screws. It will find a home in my workshop or just possibly a mini-shelter.
We will be headed out later this Spring in a new Travel Trailer ... our goal is to get back into extended dry camping on our land in upstate New York; we found a trailer that is more or less a rolling kitchen and pantry with a bit more floor space than our TC had.
There was one used Lance TC at the dealer, and as we walked past it, just one last tug at the heart-strings ... our pause to think about it was noticeable.
Nothing but good to say about our time in the Truck Camper, even with a couple dogs, we loved being able to get in and out of campgrounds quickly and felt almost guilty at how affordably. The time off-grid in the forest was time in God's country.
Thanks to the all kind folks here in TC forum for their knowledge shared along the way. Our best regards to all of you, and ... happy trails.
