Re: legend 945 left rear tie down pulling out of camper.

Again, read some of the Truck Camper University right here https://forums.trailerlife.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/25966285.cfm - scroll down to "Camper Structual: Repairs" Don't be scared by what you see there, though. This thread http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/18228847.cfm shows a bit of the wall designs. Thanks I read through that but I didn't see anything about the area of my concern on the side. I have not looked inside to see what I can see in this area yet but will try too I'm just doing research on it right now before I get into it blindly. I'm not scared to tackle it at all and have the tools to get done whatever I encounter as well.239Views0likes0CommentsRe: legend 945 left rear tie down pulling out of camper.
joerg68 wrote: If your camper has the old style aluminum siding on a wooden frame, you can remove it from the lower end upwards. The siding consists of about 1' wide strips running the length of the camper, stapled to the frame. Remove trim and sealant, pull staples, remove siding. You can not remove strips in between. If your camper has an aluminum frame, composite walls, or any other "more modern" design, things will be different. Search the Truck Camper University for "rot repair" to get an idea what other folks have done. You may have just overstressed the mount ... or there may be a structural issue behind :-( Good luck with the repair, Joerg It is aluminum panel siding. Do you start from the top or bottom removing it? The D ring is pulling the lower body of the camper apart so I don't think that it is a lag screw but think its a eye bolt. The tie downs I have came with the camper and are adjustable threadall type design. They are camper tie downs. I tightened them down snug by hand then tightened the jamb nuts. I don't really know how it could've been over stressed really. It's setting on a long 20'000# capacity gooseneck so I'm thinking there's less flex with it then a pickup truck bed would have.239Views0likes0Commentslegend 945 left rear tie down pulling out of camper.
So I made my first trip out with my camper setup on my gooseneck trailer. When I got to my destination I noticed the left rear mount on the camper is pulling down the camper side area. So much so, it pulled the trim down out of the siding. The heater is in the same area as this tie down as well. How do you remove the siding and can you remove just one section in the middle? Any ideas how bad this might be? I would post an image of my camper and it's setup but not sure how to do so on here and I don't have an off site photobucket type account. I can sent them to someone if they would post them up for me. Thanks2.5KViews0likes6CommentsRe: 1996 Lance legend 945 help please.
Thanks guys. Lance had me send a photo to them of the back of the monitor. They had one of their techs write out what wire goes where on the photo and sent it back. Cool company that lance is. :B Now I just need the time to repair it. I just bought a honda EV6010 liquid cooled 50A RV generator with 146 hours on it for $250. I know your thinking that's too big to shoehorn into the lance gen storage compartment. Yes, yes it is. This camper is part of my crawler hauler setup. I have a Rockwell buggy that I take to different off road parks across the nation. I have a new Bigtex 30' gooseneck trailer and this lance slide in will be set up on the front of the trailer with the sleeper overhanging the trailer gooseneck. My buggy will be loaded up behind that. Once to destination, I unload my buggy and setup camp. The area where I hauled my buggy is now a deck off of my camper 36" off the ground or pickup truck bed hight where ever that height is. Now I setup a canopy over the deck with poles and tarp. The generator will be hung under the trailer deck on one side. I'm going to use a boat trailer cable winch and pulleys to raise and lower the gen set in and out of position. I don't want to haul the generator when I use the trailer for other task besides crawler hauler.466Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1996 Lance legend 945 help please.

Previous owner was second owner and never used it. I can wire it up fine but I need to know what wire goes where. I've made stand alone wiring harnesses for modern EFI v8's but I couldn't do that without a schematic of the OEM harness. I'm a novice when it comes to campers. I've always tented or stayed in someone else's camper. But I am mechanically inclined and repair stuff on my own. I was a tech twenty years ago for the better part of my life as well. I say this because I have no interest in having anyone repair it for me. Sorry, I meant to quote the post above yours.466Views0likes0Comments1996 Lance legend 945 help please.
I recently purchased a used 1996 lance legend 945 camper. The previous owner wall papered the inside which is fine, however he removed things to install the paper. One of the items he removed is the systems monitor. I need to reinstall it and have no idea where which wires go where. I emailed Lance for a wiring diagram but they replied back saying they do not have that info going that for back. Seems odd to me. So I'm asking if someone that has one of these could shoot a photo of the back side of the monitor showing where the wires are plugged into I would be most grateful. Thank you in advance.3.9KViews0likes11Comments
