RE: Lance generator compartment mod - Yamaha EF2000is generator.
Ever heard of anybody having a problem using a gasoline powered generator in an RV?
You mean with a portable gasoline powered generator jury rigged into an RV using an unproven design or one designed from the ground up to be installed in an RV? Got news for you, dead people don't post much..........except in Chicago. :)
One more thing to consider, the odds of being killed and eaten by a shark are only slightly less for people who never venture into the ocean than for people who do. Don't know what that has to do with this, but it is an interesting fact none the less. Kinda like comparing generators designed for RV vs ones designed to run on a picnic table.

How did you get on that Lance video? Did Lance shoot the footage?

RE: Lance generator compartment mod - Yamaha EF2000is generator.
This is also a lance designed generator compartment, not just a storage spot, with a metal interior and factory venting built into the door.
Yeh, my Lance has the same thing. Make sure your life insurance is paid up.

RE: Lance generator compartment mod - Yamaha EF2000is generator.
Would you be happy if I converted it to propane?
No.
All things being equal, you are less likely to kill yourself with a propane fueled generator in an enclosed area because propane emits less CO than gasoline. But in this case, all things would not be equal. You will have introduced a shade-tree engineered propane conversion modification to the Yamaha. While this may decrease your likelihood of dying from CO poisoning, it would greatly increase the likelihood of you being burnt to death or killed in a propane explosion.
Given the choice of dying by CO, fire or an explosion…...…I guess I would have to go with the CO.

RE: Lance generator compartment mod - Yamaha EF2000is generator.
I WILL run the generator in the box once I have the proper setup.........
There is no "proper setup" for intalling a portable gasoline powered generator into a truck camper.
Yamaha is correct, there are many ways to kill yourself with a generator. What you are proposing is just one one them. How many thousands of hours of testing will you perform before you try it out on some human guinea pigs?

RE: Lance generator compartment mod - Yamaha EF2000is generator.
Looks like a VERY dangerous idea to me. What does Yamaha say about installing that generator in a small confined volume in an occupied RV. Are there any truck camper manufacturers offering a permanently installed gasoline powered generator of any type as a factory option?
It doesn’t take much CO to kill the occupants of a small RV like a truck camper. I would strongly advise you not to permanently install that generator in your camper. There are plenty of generators designed and thoroughly tested for that application, that Yamaha is NOT one of them. Take another path; don't take a chance on killing yourself and your family.

Some Cool Lance Videos
I liked the video of the manufacturing process in side the factory. The factory video is kinda mixed in with the other video.

RE: 2010 Lance
We have that large roll out dinette drawer in our 1996 Lance. We use it for dirty clothes. I would suggest calling Lance directly and ask them if the drawer is still available as an option.
I had heard that Lance may be droping some of their less popular models in 2010.

RE: Transporting a TC EEEEOOOOWWWW!!!!!
No Dealer on the east coast had a new 2008 with a V-10.
V10's are as rare as chicken teeth around here. When I was looking for a new one to test drive back in 2006, I had to drive 300 miles one-way to find a V10 with a manual tranny.

RE: Nuked post?
Just wondering why my post was nuked?
Did you not read the email I sent you several hours ago? Here it is again:
Saggys,
Here is a thread that might help you find the info you are looking for.
http://www.rv.net/forum/Index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/16429457.cfm
Forum rules do not allow posts which have items for sale. That prohibition also includes posts where someone says something like, "I have a camper I want to sell, where is a good place to advertise it" or "I have a camper I may be selling, what is it worth".
I would sugest you search around on ebay and similar web sites and you will see what they are selling for.
Good Luck,

RE: When Animals Attack!
It's better to have a plan and never have a need to use it, than to not have a plan and desperately need one.
My plan includes actions I take to prevent the use of a weapon, using a weapon is always a last resort in my plan.
Absolutely, except that I would say it is the next to the last resort in my plan.

RE: TorkLifts front, HappiJacks rear?
Make sure you get the HJ bumper reinforcing brackets if you go that way.
Ditto. They cost about $25 and only take 30 minutes to install with simple tools.
I've been using HJ front & rear tiedowns for 14 years and never had the first problem with them.

RE: Incorporating an RV Business - State or City?
Thanks for the responses. That's what I thought; the only incorporation filings I had ever heard of was through a state, not a city.
Thanks,

Incorporating an RV Business - State or City?
Can an RV business file incorporation papers with a city government? I was under the impression that businesses incorporated with state governments, not city governments.
Thanks,

RE: New Product "Sumo Springs" from the maker of Super Springs
TCM apparently will sell their soul to the highest bidder. As in no really critical look at the product.
All magazines which depend on advertiser dollars to say afloat do that. It's almost impossible to find a bad review of anything in an advertiser supported magazine.

RE: Guns in Alaska. (Please be nice)
If I ship or take one of mine it would be the Redhawk 44 just for ease of size.
I had one of those once. I bought it right before the Super Redhawks came out. Sweet shooter with 44 specials. But my shooting hand would swell up after I ran a box of magnums thru it.
Good Luck,
Brad

Long gun or handgun? A non-resident of the state will have problems buying a handgun.
Can you rent firearms in Alaska?
