Lance Squire Lite 195 Truck Camper Rot Repair. Part 1 of Exposing The Bad Spots 

I have the same camper...a '96. It was in very good condition, but I still had to replace some wood up in the right front of the cab-over bunk end, under the little cabinet and back to the window. I also replaced my fridge with a Dometic NRX-130C 12v compressor fridge, which I can highly recommend. It only draws about 4.5amps when running. Another big improvement I made was turning it into a totally boondocking rig, with no connections to the truck other than for the running lights. The shore-tie cable is completely disconnected from from the AC-DC converter, as is the 12v source from the truck's trailer plug. I added 200w of solar panels to the roof, and a 100ah LiFePO4 battery with a 30A MPPT charge controller, added a distribution block, and run everything through the output of the charge controller. The air conditioner has been replaced with a MaxAir Fan all the interior light bulbs have been replaced with LED bulbs. Running the MaxAir Fan, the range hood fan, the water pump and a bunch of lights on, I never got over 15a of current draw. There's dozens of other little projects, and I'm babbling now, LOL....Good Luck with your camper; they don't make them like this anymore, and once you get it fixed up, it will be better than anything out there that's new!

Awesome project!!! You are starting with a much much better camper than I did. I’m jealous. My vote is to eliminate the front window. They are just a leak hazard anyway. That wood rot is very fixable. I’m installing a new three way fridge in mine. Probably my next video.

You defiantly have some long days and nights ahead of you. Trust me i know. ive been rebuilding my Lance 915 for the last 2 months. It had a ton of rot as well. I did eliminate the front window on the build back. We have been documenting it on my channel. Its defiantly been a lot of work but has very rewarding. Like yourself this is the first time ive ever done any repair work on a camper like this but thanks to you tube ive have learned so much. The best advice i can give is get a Oscillating tool. It has been my best friend in the whole process and Kreg pocket screw jig and screws for reassembly and lots of liquid nail. Good Luck

They're a can of worms for sure. I just got a 76 camper, 8' unknown brand. Luckily I only had 2 spots to fix. Waiting on my new jacks. Done with messing with old pump jacks. I am amazed they stay together with 1x2's frankly. I could have swore my 80s had plywood in the walls but can't remember

I got my eye on a 350 dollar camper. Is just the way I want it on the inside. But the outside like yours is oh brother. I don't know if I;m talented enough to replace so much frame.
