Lance 1172 Gray Tank Valve and Water Pump Replacement / Truck Camper Life
►We found our Lance 1172 had a leaking gray tank valve and a small drip in the water pump. We decide to tackle them both in this video and get them repaired. In order to do so we have to take the bottom off the camper to get to the tank valve. Because we have to take the bottom panel off we get to see how the Lance 1172 is constructed.
We hope that you enjoyed this episode and as always, we hope you find our videos useful, informative and entertaining!
Thanks for watching!

      @RunawayRoses День тому

      I don’t have any specific recommendations but I would say to find what your truck is rated for and find a camper that weighs less than that. Consider that when you add the occupants plus cargo and possibly water you could add an additional 500 to 1000 pounds of weight. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for the hands-on videos! We’ve had our 1172 for 3 years and love it, but learned quickly that you have to be able and willing to do most repairs and maintenance yourself. Question - you bought the 96” cable on the valve you replaced, how much slack did that leave you? How short do you think you could have gotten away with? I would like to avoid loops in the cable as much as possible. Best

    • @RunawayRoses
      @RunawayRoses 2 дні тому

      I know there is a 72 inch cable available but I don’t know if there’s one in between that and the 96 inch. I feel like the 72 inch cable may have fit, but I don’t know exactly because I didn’t try one. I think looping the cable is pretty standard from what I’ve seen. I think it would at least need to be six or 7 foot long to reach. Thanks for watching!

    Great job on the gray tank valve replacement! Seeing you guys tackle that wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected. Last year we were on a month long trip in our 1172 from Texas to the west coast and our water pump went out. When Carol ordered one to be shipped ahead to our friend’s house she said those water pumps are cheaper if we ordered two. That kind of told all we needed to know about the reliability. 😜 As soon as we got there we quickly replaced it. We’ve been using the twist on valve as well for the same reasons and it also makes attachment of the sewer hose a little easier. Thanks for sharing your how to video!

I had to cut a section of pipe out and put in a coupler in order to get enough room to put it back together. It wasn't very stinky because it was dry and yes I used my bare hands.

    Great video. Was always curious what the camper looks like with the bottom panel removed. I live full time in my 2012 Lance 992 that I purchased new. Like you I had to replace the water pump after about 6 years. 2 years ago the Coleman Mach A/C finally died so replaced with a RecPro Belaire 3400 13.5K heat pump A/C. Wow. So much quieter and more efficient. No issues with the tank valves so far but I also carry a spare Valterra twist on gate valve just in case. I too am very happy with my Lance. For a truck camper that is lived in full time and parked out in the south Florida sun it amazes me how well it has held up. Thanks so much for sharing!

    You made my day!!! Always wanted to see a fairly new Lance 1172 with the bottom removed. Something truck campers have over any other camper out there. You can easily gain access to the underneath and put it at a height that makes it easier to work on, however you all are restricted because of your ceiling height in your garage. It’s still much easier than a regular camper. Thanks so much for sharing this task!!!!!
