RE: lance slideout sag--1161
additionally looking under the support there were button head rivets that were beginning to pull through.. the gap between the seal and the bottom of the slideout has lessen but not eliminated.. I use a garage door bottom seal and glue in on ..can't be seen with slide in and is effective when slide is out.
If someone has a better fix please share

RE: lance slideout sag--1161
the place i went to installed an "L" shaped piece of steel and used the existing tiedown bolts
they removed the tiedowns and drilled the holes in the steel for the tiedowns.
2002 Lance 1161
someone had a the support break when he hit a speed bump.. I would think an overlooked
pothole could do the same thing..

RE: lance slideout sag--1161
I certainly did not disagree with you... I just would just go ahead and take care of the
problem just for the future.
Sleepy, I do appreciate your taking the time ..I was just heading off possible future trouble.
the people here in Kansas seem to be a little more helpful than in Georgia and South Carolina while I am here I would take care of a possible problem.
I do thank you for your all of your help.

lance slideout sag--1161
I am visiting my daughter her husband and grandchildren in Abilene, Kansas.
A nice little town that has a very low crime rate..a great place to raise kids.
anyway:
the update on my sag is, looking on the bottom side there are a row of button head rivets
that were pulling through. It was not severe and I sent pics of my sag to Sleepy who did
not think it was bad , but after the fellow went over the speed break and broke the support. I would rather err on the safe side.
I went to a RV repair only location in Salina, Kansas 29 miles from Abilene. they installed
an L shaped piece of steel that was stronger than necessary and painted it.
they drilled holes for the two tiedowns for a reasonable price.
Now I have piece of mind !!
I do thank Sleepy for the great advice and guidance and showing me the location of the
slideout motor in case I ever have a problem with it.
Hope this helps other 1161 owners.

RE: Lance Warranty/Customer Service is PO me off // Update
get back on the horn and ask to talk to someone higher up on the food chain.
They were glad to have someone in Conyers,GA. to work on mine and I bought my 1161 in
South Carolina and that is less than 200 miles away.
keep us up to date..
I hope their policy has not gone into such a tail spin.

lance slideout sag
A couple of years after I bought my 2002 lance 1161 I noticed sag under the slide and delam on left wing. this was approx. 2004.
took it back to the dealer in South Carolina for warranty work
Sonny's R.V.
When I got it back from the dealer in South Carolina (it was shipped back to Lancaster for repairs) the Wing was repaired but could not see where there was any repair on the sag of the slideout.
( there was no paperwork on the repairs) I have noticed an indention on the outside forward side of slideout frame 1/3 of the way up. ( indention is on camper not on slideout)
I noticed Sleepy had a fix for this problem without removing the slideout.
If you would share this with me and other 1161 owners. I think I would be as easy on a camper as anyone so I know there will be others with this problem.
I would enclose a pic if I knew how.
I am now in Abilene Kansas with my grandkids but live in Covington,Ga.
thanks for any help.
