Post up what you think the picture link is and maybe we can tell you were you went wrong.

RE: late 90's lance legend 500 9'10"
Ditto on the table. We removed the slide mechanism from the bottom of the table and rotated it 90 degrees. Works great for two people.

RE: late 90's lance legend 500 9'10"
We bought our Lance Legend 500 new in 1996 and still have it.
I agree with most of what okan-star said. I would add that the charger/converter (mag tek) which came with the camper was junk and will likely need replacement if it hasn't already been replaced. Check for "wing rot". Our camper is a tight fit in a new Ford and needs a 3" lift to clear the cab.
Our 500 is going on 19 years old and we have been very happy with it.

RE: Thank you Torklift!
That is great to hear. It is a shame that many manufacturers ignore email from customers.

I had the same problem. Try erasing your temporary internet files; that fixed mine.

RE: Lance's new bumper
That sure is a dramatic commercial! Had some nice features though
Ditto. I kept expecting a shirtless Vladimir Putin to come riding by on white stallion headed for a weekend in the Caucasus mountains.

RE: Happijac Tiedown vs. Torklift Tiedown
I think people make too much about the tie downs
Its funny, I’ve read these hj vs tl threads for many years and they almost always follow a pattern that repeats itself many times on the internet in other forums and for for other decisions we make where one acceptable option costs substantially more than the other acceptable option. :) :) :)

RE: Happijac Tiedown vs. Torklift Tiedown
We’ve had our 1996 Lance for 18 years now. We’ve hauled it about 200,000 miles on 3 different Ford trucks; 1996 F-250 SRW, 2001 F-350 SRW and now a 2006 F-350 DRW.
We’ve had Happijac tie downs on all three trucks and have been very happy with them. I’m sure we would have been happy with Torklift tie downs also. Both systems work; both systems have their advantages and disadvantages.
We are looking at trading trucks and buying a new camper sometime during the next two years. We will consider both brands of tie downs when we trade.

RE: Automatic Transmission Fluid Level
Thanks for all the responses. They generally confirm what I just learned the other day that the motor should be running and the tranny in neutral.
What pissses me off about this is that it is NOT written on the tranny dipstick. The dipstick only has a Hot & Cold mark and then the type of tranny fluid: Toyota T-IV. The dipstick handle has a label that says the fluid “never needs changing under normal conditions”. And the +300 page owner’s manual barely mentions the tranny. It only tells the type of fluid and the drain capacity. It never mentions when or how to check it.
This is a 2006 Camry which we bought new. It’s been a great car but I think I have been driving it a qt low for 165,000 miles.
Thanks,
Brad

Automatic Transmission Fluid Level
2006 Toyota - Am I supposed to check the fluid level with the motor running or off? I assumed off, but someone told me today the motor should be running.
Thanks for any help,

RE: 9'6" Camper-Do you NEED an extension to tow?
Hook it up in a sharp turn steep incline position if you clear your good
Ditto. The main thing is you want to make sure you can't jack-knife going forward.

RE: Independence pass CO in TC?
Its a great road that you don't want to miss if you have a chance to drive it. There are lots of small high mtn paved roads in Colorado that I would rather be driving a Miata on, but can easily be driven in a truck/TC. Mtn Evans, Loveland Pass, Trail Ridge Rd, Ouray-Silverton, etc. Just go slow; most everyone else will be. Watch your brakes on the way down. Stop at some of the pull-offs and look around and take some photos. You may never be back; enjoy it while your there.
Where else are you going in Colorado? What month will you be there?
If you get to Fairplay; I highly recommend the Brown Burro Café.

RE: Independence pass CO in TC?
That's OK, guardrails are for ******* anyway. I've been over that pass many times and I don't remember any part of that road which was a challenge or scary.
Now, Hwy 64 between Franklin and Highlands, N.C. hauling a TC and pulling my jeep on a trailer meeting Friday afternoon traffic; now that is a damn narrow scary drive that I will NEVER be repeating.

RE: Independence pass CO in TC?
In Colorado the vehicle going uphill has the right of way.
The thing is, on a road like that, people are driving very slowly. Hey, if you can drive up mnt cheha, that road is a piece of cake.
