Hi,
my Name is Torsten i am new here and i am from Germany. I get a old classic Lance Model 780 from 9/1985 that i like to restore but before i start this i search for all informations that i can get. Today i check all funktions all work exept the Waterheater, because i dont know how to start this unit.  the Heater that you can see in the Picture is what i found in my Camper but i have no Instructions for this Camper. I turd the red knop on the top to Pilot than i press the red button on the left down, i hear Gas comming but i dont have a ignition Spark from the smal black unit. There is a switch that can switch on and Off its in ON-Position but nothing happends  Can anyone tell me what i have to do to start this unit? sorry for my bad English Best regards from Germany Torsten |

Torsten'....
Keep in mind that payload on any truck is the combined weight in the bed plus the occupants, plus the fuel, plus every accessory. Myself, I don't believe an F250 is stout enough for a dull size Lance without extensive modification to the suspension (air bags, helper leaves and sway bars), plus you need to take into account that the running gear (wheel bearings, brakes, transmission and engine) will be operating at the extreme end of their capacity. I have an F350 myself and it's extensively modified with air bags, heavy duty shocks, steering damper, oversized sway bars, limited slip differentials (Detroit Tru-trak in the back, ARB in the front, added cooling for the transmission and oversize LT rated 10 ply tires. |
