Hopefully I am allowed to ask this question as my two previous posts were deleted by the moderator.
I am putting together a winter project for my son and I. Need some info on this camper as to quality of construction, any areas that I might need to address. Thoughts and opinions??
Any info greatly appreciated and thanks

Don't know why your other posts were deleted but there was prob a good reason. Re the Lance, we had one of their larger top-of-the-line units a couple of years older than yours. It was top quality all the way, Lance makes the best units as far as I'm concerned. We moved to motorhomes after that but the Lance was really nice. The Squire was just more of a "Chevy" as opposed to their "Caddy" line.
I have a friend that owns a 1993 Lance 900 (I believe that is a Squire). He is currently in Yelowstone with that camper. his brother has one and so does his son.. all the same year.. The brothers is stored outside and has serious rot problems in the rear wall and the wings.. I would watch that ver closesly. I think the camper is a great camper though. If you inspect and fix those areas.. you should have a nice camper.

I went and picked up the Lance today. Very good shape and I double checked the rear wall area and the floor just inside the door. Well as it turned out, the owner had it all repaired last year and all I have to do is the linoleum work, which I will probably use some sort of peel and stick.
I put the camper into my shop and checked it all out, everything works except for the fridge which I knew going in. Previous owner had a 900.00 repair bill to the fridge but it stopped working a couple of months later. So I have that to deal with.
Onboard battery is toast, so need to replace that with a 12 volt deep cycle, wish I could fit two, but no room.
Some bangs and scrapes here and there, some water leaking into the storage cabinets due to bad seals but all in all its a 92 and I paid 2500.00 not 30 grand. Nice little project for my son and I over the winter months. I will put it on his truck hopefully tomorrow.
The kid is only 15 so we have some time before this has to be road ready anyhow.
