How to Troubleshoot Lance Campers

Lance Campers come in two designs. First is a tow behind camper trailer ranging in size from 20 feet to 27 feet long with both slide out and non-slide out floor plans. The company also produces truck bed campers that are designed to fit into the bed of either a short- or long-wheelbase pick-up truck. These campers also have slide out and non slide out options and range in size from 16 feet to 20 feet long. Troubleshooting Lance Trailers will help you become aware of small problems before they become larger.

Instructions

      When you enter the Lance camper for the first time of the season, see if there are any unusual odors. From mold to mildew to water or septic systems, if there is a problem, you likely will first notice it by any smells.

      Walk around the outside of your camper and look for any discoloration on the exterior side panels. Pay close attention to corners or where panels meet. Discoloration could indicate water is leaking in behind the panels. Inspect seams at the corners and where the side walls meet the roof as well as around the windows. Leaks appear to be a reported problem with some Lance campers.

      Turn on and inspect electrical and gas appliances inside the trailer. There are consumer reports indicating the fridge will not remain on when it is running on propane unless it is perfectly level. Look inside storage compartments and other access points for any signs of water or mold damage.
