# Lance Camper Repair in West Covina

Lance builds truck campers and travel trailers with above average construction and a strong following among owners who use them hard. OCRV Center repairs Lance units for West Covina owners at the Yorba Linda facility, covering roof, laminate, jack systems and structural work.

## Known weak points

- Roof to sidewall seam sealant failure, the primary cause of camper structural damage
- Camper jack mounting point stress from repeated loading and unloading
- Wing wall and overhang stress on truck campers that flex against the truck bed
- Slide seal compression on equipped campers
- Basement and storage compartment sealing
- Front overhang laminate separation on higher mileage campers
- Tie down point stress on campers hauled on rough roads

## Truck campers live a harder life than their size suggests

A truck camper rides in a truck bed rather than on its own suspension, which means every input the truck takes goes straight into the camper structure with nothing absorbing it.

On pavement that is manageable. On washboard and forest roads it is a sustained working load on a structure that also has to be light enough for the truck to carry.

The places that report it are the wing walls where the camper meets the bed rails, the tie down points, and the front overhang. Those are the areas we inspect first on any used Lance camper.

## Jacks and the loads they concentrate

Camper jacks lift the entire loaded weight of the camper through four mounting points. Every load and unload cycle puts that concentrated force into the sidewall structure.

Over years, those mounting areas work. The symptom is usually a jack bracket that develops slight movement or a fastener that will not stay tight, and both point at the structure rather than the hardware.

Reinforcing the mounting area is the durable correction. Replacing fasteners alone means the same joint loosens on the same schedule, which is the repair most owners have already tried.

## The roof is still the thing that decides its life

Everything above is manageable. What actually ends truck campers is water, and it enters at the roof to sidewall seam the way it does on every RV.

Lance construction is better than average, which slows the damage rather than preventing the cause. Sealant still ages and Southern California heat cycling still works it hard.

Seasonal inspection from a ladder and resealing what has moved is the single highest value habit for a Lance owner. It costs an hour twice a year and it is the difference between a maintenance item and a wall rebuild.

## Frequently asked questions

### A camper jack bracket on my Lance keeps loosening

That points at the structure rather than the hardware. Jacks lift the entire loaded camper through four mounting points, and over years the mounting area works. Replacing fasteners alone means the same joint loosens on the same schedule, which is the repair most owners have already tried. Reinforcing the area is the durable fix.

### What should I inspect on a used truck camper

The wing walls where the camper meets the bed rails, the tie down points and the front overhang. A camper rides in a truck bed with nothing absorbing road input, so those areas carry sustained working loads. They tell you what roads the previous owner actually drove.

### Does better construction mean I can skip roof maintenance

No. Lance construction is above average and that slows the damage, but sealant still ages and Southern California heat cycling still works it hard. Seasonal inspection and resealing what has moved costs an hour twice a year and is the difference between a maintenance item and a wall rebuild.
