B-D RV Battery Lock: http://www.b-drvbatterylock.com/   Even though I/we have never ever had an issue with a battery "walking away" in the 15+ years that we have been trailer camping I have been intrigued whenever I would see this simple battery...

Let me start of by saying that I am in no way affiliated with Hitches & Things and do not stand to make $.01 from any sales of this item. I did pay for the design fees for this custom made hitch so that the LOA community could buy a Lance hitch cover. I purchased this from Trevor who is the owner and operator. Per his website, "Hitches & Things is based out of Chehalis, WA. It is a company owned and operated by a disabled veteran who is proud to support a variety of charities across...

I just received my TST Wide Screen color monitor yesterday and got it up and running on the bench. Wow! The display is real nice with larger digits and added color. However, I do have a few issues I'd like to report. The new monitor is now powered by a 5 volt mini plug just like what one uses for their smart phone (Android, not Apple). This presents a challenge as I had the previous 12 volt monochrome monitor's power cord hard wired into the overhead console in my Tundra which was a nice...

We just returned from a 2-night dry camping trip. Since it was only 2 nights I decided to go with our puny group 24 battery that came with the 1575 (we rarely use it and instead use a group 29 battery almost always). The group 24 (from our dealer) came with a crappy (group 24) battery box that is square. I wasn't sure if the battery lock would work with this box, but it did (a loose fit, but secure "enough") so I took a couple of pictures. You can also see that the 2 battery cables & the...

You are so lucky that your battery tray is that far away from the coach. I had arm strong the bracket, and modify the battery box. Now tell the brand name of your battery box, because the ones that I got do not fit very well with the bracket.

Nice write up Jeff, and it looks like a good fit on your trailer. You are correct in that it won't stop a determined thief, not much will. But it will send the "crime of opportunity" type thief(s) on their merry way.... Erick

Jeff, it looks good, and nice write-up. It seems to fit the contours of the battery box just right. Did you have to bend the bracket, or did it come that way? Bruce

Thanks Bruce. The bracket is bent that way. It's a perfect fit around the battery tray & battery box. There is no way that I could bend the bracket without destroying it. It is very beefy.

Thanks, Jeff, for the quick response. I was hoping the brackets were malleable, so that they could fit my rectangular battery box. Oh well... Bruce

Looks good - so glad this thread has resurfaced. How easy is it to put away by one (short) person? And can one (short) person reach up to push up the roof center piece? One other question: how long is the storage bag? Will it fit across the width of the cab back seat of the truck? Or would it have to be stored along the center aisle of the TC during transit? Thanks.

Lee-Ann, In the storage bag, ours measures about 6 feet. It won't lay down flat on your truck's rear seat, but will fit on the floor of your TC.

Last summer, we hooked up with the Red Barchetta clan for a fun filled campout. The skeeters, while not overly excessive, were enough for all to be looking for some relief and since I don't do repellant sprays unless absolutely driven insane, when Jeff pulled out his Clam, it was a welcome relief. The shelter was large enough to comfortably seat 5 adults and two dogs and we were able to sip our wine without having to whine about the bugs. Viv & I have been himmin and hawin about whether...

Gear and Giles, here are is the link to the rally discussion with instructions. You will need to call the KOA to reserve a site. When you get a site, reply to the discussion thread with your site number and your arrival/departure dates. If the KOA doesn't have any sites available that will fit your needs, let me know and we will add you to a wait list. https://community.lanceowners.org/top...-16-9-18-2016?page=1

2 months ago yesterday we bought a new-to-us truck/TV - A 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab LTZ (V8, 5.3L, integrated brake controller, factory backup camera, integrated TPMS, remote start, ...), etc ... http://lanceowners.hoop.la/top...ed-to-a-new-to-us-tv I then bought a bed mat - http://lanceowners.hoop.la/top...9#550326589916257509 So last week I asked my fellow LOA'ers about 5th wheel boxes/chests. As it so happened JamesHB is the ONLY LOA'er who actually has one -...

Great to hear. I almost went with Trojan T105 6 volts. Now that I know they fit in my battery tray despite what the tape measure says probably will next time.......
