I moved into this camper from a 2004 Lance 1010, also bought new. I lived in it for a little over 10 years, and have lived in this one 6 weeks. I kept my home for a year, to make sure the full-time lifestyle suited me, and sold it in 2005. I haven't...
I want to install ~140 watts of solar generation on the roof of my new Lance 850. I have determined that the wiring, and a suitable plug, are in place. I think. Anyway, there is a little covered plug in the side of my fridge vent cover, and the deal...
I've been spoiled by shore power for most of the last 2 years. Just keeping an eye on things on a lovely little 2811 acre ranch in west Texas. Cool gig, btw, and not hard to find. But that's for another day...Anyway, I just bought this new Lance 850,...
I had one in my 13.5k btu dometic (thermo-king?) AC, and found it useful. It would not warm up a cold camper quickly, but it would keep a warm one warm, down to 35-40F ambient. Nice when on free 120AC. My new Polar Cub didn't come with one, but I be...

I can sit in the driver's seat of my truck and tell, really close, if I'm level. I'm a level idiot savant, I reckon. And an excellent driver. Dang sure close enough to spend a night. If I am going to spend multiple nights, i may refine. The only aspe...
I feel safe against pheasants with my stock bumper, but I am a gambling fool, no doubt. If giant 300# bumpers make you feel safe, I am all for you. Heck, I probably carry way too much ammunition. Joe
I think the very worst thing a prospective buyer of his first camper could possibly do would be to compare "features", or appliances, or gizmos. The best and the worst share the same appliances. Construction is the key, just as in a house. It IS a h...
I used to go every year to Moab just to watch people with more money than sense break stuff trying to do things which had not theretofore been done. (A jeep axle, broken under extreme stress while trying to climb a near-vertical wall, sounds very muc...
