BEST renovated Lance TRUCK CAMPER you’ll see

- Finally! After 2 years on the road! Tour our renovated 1997 Lance Legend 990 Extended Cab Truck Camper! This truck camper has been serving us well, as you can see, we made it all the way up the Dalton Highway of Alaska to the Arctic Ocean in it!
We purchased the truck camper in March 2020. On day 1 of renovations, we found extensive water damage in the bed area of the truck camper. It was all rotted out! What was supposed to be a quick renovation, turned into a nightmare as Nick had to figure out how to rebuild the bed area of a truck camper all on his own. There were no TH-cam videos like ours back then. We documented the entire renovation process and posted the videos on TH-cam.
Nick rebuilt the bed area. Cut off a cabinet. Installed a new house sized sink. Installed a new toilet. Installed new flooring. I redid the coach with new foam and material. Sewed new curtains. We painted the entire interior. It was a lot of work. We hit the road in October 2021 and haven't looked back since.
If you have any questions about the truck camper or renovation, please leave a comment. If you could take a sec and hit the "like" button, that would be great! If you are new to the channel, subscribe to follow along on our travels. We're exploring Alaska, and its absolutely incredible here!

I actually went and looked at the first video when you bought it. Wow the amount water damage. I would never buy a any type of RV or Truck camper built in the 90's. All the seals are rotted. Both of you got skills but Nick Nick baby you got mad skillz. Lol
lol thank you!! Honestly, if we knew the extent of the damage, we definitely would not have bought it either. Nick is still trying to recover from the trauma of working on that truck camper bed 🤣
LMAO
Girlfriend you better treat that man good. Lol
90's?
Nice job Julie on the couch ,nice job nick on the remoudle
You could just pull that microwave, and drop off at thrift store.
I was surprised out how heavy it was :)
Beautiful mobile home all round!! you guys have made for your travel adventures..❤..Thank you for sharing..ps loving the sky light and the bathroom 🚻.
God bless.🇬🇧
Thank you! It was a lot of work to fix it up but it’s been serving us well for the past few years 💛 we love the skylights too they add so much light on cloudy days ☁️ God bless 😊
I will also keep you guys in my prayers too for always safe travels. God bless you guys too. Enjoy God‘s creation.❤
That would be much appreciated, thank you 💛
Very nice build! how much solar and battery power are ya'll running?
Thanks! We have 7 100 watt solar panels and we have 2 100 amp lithium batteries.
We have that exact same camper, 1997. Love your ideas.
Very cool! Are you planning on renovating it or keeping as is?
I love this. Very roomy and comfortable.
Thank you so much! 😃
7:00 I got rid of the microwave, I was amazed how HEAVY it was
Oh yea those things weigh a ton!
You guys did a very good job on this camper. Because I am handicapped, the bed would have to go the other way so I could get in & out more easily. And I would have a convection microwave so I could have a small pizza. I am 70 & a little jealous of this camper. I really like it. Have a great time traveling around the country, take a lot of pictures, & make a lot of memories.
If you removed the propane how do you stay warm?
We don’t stay in cold places. We were out of Alaska at the end of August. If we choose to do cold camping (which we probably won’t since we both don’t like cold) we might consider getting a diesel heater.
Looks great all the best for future trips
Thank you!😃
13:30 another great idea that I am going to employ! It's a pain to reach over the sink to the original faucet hose deal.
That’s the cool thing about watching tours of other peoples rigs- you can get some great ideas to implement yourself. Do you have a truck camper too?
What's the fridge brand?

WOW. I thought I'd seen every truck camper renovation video out there, but just came across this video today. I subscribed to your channel; and I am looking forward to reviewing all of your past renovation videos. Yours is definitely the most beautiful and intense renovation I've seen. Congratulations on taking an old Lance and making it so roomy and beautiful! Your ideas for adding more floor space is genius. I have a 2000 Lance 1030, which is essentially the same as the 990, but rebranded. I have been "updating" mine as well for the past two years, but I won't be doing all of the work that you've done (I like my propane). A couple of questions: When you removed the "step" under the kitchen table, did you encounter a bunch of wiring and some fans going to the generator? I went to convert this step area into storage, but encountered this mess, so I left it alone. Also, I want to install a new, larger toilet and was wondering which model did you replace yours with.
🎉Omg You guys done a awesome job remodeling your truck camper 🎉 I Love it ❤ I like how you open it up for more open floor space You guys are so awesome and sweet I love ❤all your videos Thank You so much for sharing 😊
Thank you so much 🥹🥹 that means so much 💛 we appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos and supporting us with your encouraging comments! God bless you!
Loved your tour! Hubby was very impressed. The only question- where is your heater?
Weird thing to notice, but that dress is adorable!
Not weird at all! Thank you 😊 I love it too & thought it’d be perfect for the occasion. It’s not everyday you get to do a camper tour for TH-cam 😆
Amazing transformation, I wouldn't change a thing you've done!
Thank you! Glad you like it too 😃
How much solar do you have and what the system?
Let us know if you have any questions about our truck camper! 😃
Great job! How do you heat your water?
Very cool rebuild! I love the use of space! The front bed area, and storage areas up front are really cool. will have to watch the original build. Just recently started following you guys. Unfortunately, a lot of "RV Lifers" went to Alaska this year...still following the adventures, but not a fan of cold weather. Loved the Caribou episode though! You guys did a great job remodeling the camper! Enjoy Alaska, and be safe!
Hello! Welcome to our channel 👋 that is true about a lot of RV Lifers going to Alaska this year. Maybe bc it’s the first summer without any restrictions in terms of what’s been going on in the past couple years. We definitely saw a lot of RVs up in Alaska that’s for sure!
The caribou herd was just incredible. Just one of those once in a lifetime things we’ll remember forever.
Thank you for the kind words about our camper remodel. It’s been a lot of work but also so many beautiful adventures with it 💛
Looks amazing. I look forward to viewing more of y’all’s journeys. Be safe and have fun.
Hello 👋 glad you found us! Welcome 🤗
You can clean off the black squiggly glue oozing from the window frame with a little glass cleaner and a flat "flat single edge razor blade". Its very easy to do and satisfying and you will be pleased with result. Need to just spray it to get wet.
Yes! Great tip! We need to do that it’s an eyesore.
Incredible. The best I've seen. My question is since you removed the propane how do you heat your home.
Thank you 😃 one of the things we love about this lifestyle is we can move if we don’t like the weather where we’re at. We don’t like cold and we avoid it. But if we get stuck in a place for some reason, we have an electric space heater and a buddy heater. We were thinking about a diesel heater but we don’t spend time in cold weather long enough to justify getting one for now.
Just found your channel and really enjoyed your tour! I am a new subscriber and off to check out other videos!
Welcome! Thank you for saying hello 👋
4:40 that's a great idea I had not though of.
Way more clearance and get rid of that little awkward step up!
Thanks! It does open up the space quite a bit!
Oh no!! I’m at the end of the playlist, lol. I have really enjoyed watching the camper transformation and you guys put in a lot of hard work! It really is beautiful 🤩 Now I will dig into your travel videos 😊
Amazing job!!!! Looks Beautiful!!!! Well done!!!
Thank you so much!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has problem with the peel and stick tile.
😆 yea at this point it would have been better if we just painted the walls like the rest of the camper and called it good 👍
@@NickandJulie yes I agree should have done the same. I’m always messing with it. Drives me crazy. We used a peel and stick style vinyl flooring too. Same exact problem, always have some Garila glue handy to fit it when it pops up. Love your content continue the amazing work.
@@stevehicks9374 oh no! We did the click lock waterproof vinyl flooring and it has been great so far. It was easy to install and haven’t had any issues with it. Thank you we’ll try to keep the content coming 👍
This is the best I've seen so far. Really lovely little cottage
Thank you! We agree it’s the best but we may be biased 😉
👋👋👋
I love the bathroom, the couch and bed area. Great job
