SOLAR PANEL
The solar panel is mounted on the roof beside the
cabover skylight over the cabover bed area. The panel
plugs into the connector mounted on the roof. Inside
the cabinet next to the galley cabinet a voltage
regulator is mounted. The panel wires terminate at the
battery disconnect relay located inside of the storage
tray opening in the stepwell. The 12ga blue (+) wire is
fused with a 10-amp fuse and connected to the 40-amp
circuit breaker. The 12ga white (-) wire terminates at
the battery negative (-) post. The solar panel is
designed to “trickle charge” your battery system. It is
not intended to be a fast charger. It also cannot supply
large amounts of current to operate 12-volt DC
electrical equipment.
NOTE: Weather conditions will affect the charging rate
of the solar panel. Refer to the solar panel manual
supplied in your Owner’s Information Package.
titles and fuse sizes are marked inside the removable
access door. If a fuse blows, locate and correct the
cause. Turn off all lights and motors, and then install a
fuse with the same rating. If fuses continue to blow, a
short circuit is indicated. Have the system checked by
qualified personnel.
FUSES
All the electrical circuits in your camper have fuses to
protect them from short or overload. If something
electrical in your camper stops working, the first thing
you should check for is a blown fuse. Determine from
the chart, or the diagram on the fuse panel, which fuse
or fuses control that component. Check those fuses
first, but check all fuses before deciding that a blown
fuse is not the cause. Replace any fuses and check
the component’s operation.
Do not install fuses with amperage ratings greater than
that specified on the label. Replacing a fuse with one
that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances
of damaging the electrical system. If you do not have a
replacement fuse with the proper rating for the circuit,
install one with a lower rating until you can replace it
with the proper rated fuse.
If the replacement fuse of the same rating blows in a
short time, there is probably an electrical problem with
your camper. Leave the blown fuse in that circuit and
have your camper checked by your Lance Dealer.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
The interior lighting operates on 12-volt DC power only.
When connected to a 120-volt source or using the
generator, the power converter transforms 120-volts to
12-volts. However; when not connected to 120-volts,
the entire load of lights, water pump, exhaust fans,
etc., is on your 12-volt battery(s). Use conservatively to
minimize battery discharging.
Certain switched lights have lighted (red) switches.
These would include the exterior porch lights, docking
light and the bath light when it is switched from outside
of the bath. These switches illuminate when “on” to
remind you that the light is on.
CAUTION
Some of the lighting fixtures may be
equipped with halogen bulbs. The bulbs and fixtures
may get very hot when they are on. Do not touch these
lighting fixtures when they are on. Allow them to cool
before attempting to replace a bulb or to clean.
Replace all light bulbs with the same type and wattage
as originally installed or as indicated on the fixture.
SOLAR PANEL PRE-WIRE
The pre-wire solar panel connector is mounted on the
side of the refrigerator roof vent of the camper and/or near
the front of the camper. The mating connector is supplied in
the loose parts box.
Two wires, 12ga blue (+) and 12ga white (-) run from
this location, are looped in the cabinet next to the
galley and terminate behind the battery compartment
for future connection to the battery. The 12 ga blue
wire must be fused with a 10-amp fuse when a solar
panel is installed.
battery after the truck battery has reached 13.2 volts. If
the drain on the truck battery is reduced below 12.8
volts, the Battery Separator will disconnect the truck
battery from the camper circuit, thus protecting the
truck battery from excessive drain.
BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH
SYSTEMS MONITOR PANEL
The systems monitor panel may incorporate controls
and instrumentation for the water and holding tank
levels, battery voltage level, water pump, water
heater ignition, generator start and hour reading.
WATER PUMP CONTROL SWITCH
This rocker switch controls the demand water pump.
The water pump is pressure sensitive and starts (with
the switch ON) when a faucet is open, causing
pressure in the line to drop. When the faucet is
closed, pressure builds in the line and the pump
stops.
MONITOR PANEL - LEVEL INDICATOR SWITCH
When depressing the monitor switch, indicator lights
for the black (waste), grey (sink) and fresh water tank
will illuminate, indicating the existing condition of
each component. The battery level is a digital display
that reflects the battery voltage when the switch is
depressed.
Erroneous indications when checking water levels
can be caused by:
Water with low mineral content. Level is
measured by a very low electrical signal
traveling through the liquid. Some water that
is low in mineral content may not conduct the
signal properly. This condition may be

EXTERIOR LIGHT FUSE BOX
12-volt and Main Circuit
Breaker
The fuse box contains fuses and a 40-amp circuit
breaker that feeds power from the truck to the camper
fuse panel, refrigerator, jacks, exterior lights and
battery. When an overload or short circuit occurs, this
breaker will not allow power from the truck into the
camper.
The fuse box is located in the forward driver side front
corner of the main floor. Circuit titles and fuse sizes are
labeled.
To reset the breaker, disconnect and then reconnect the
power connector to the truck. If the breaker continues
to trip, a short circuit or overload condition is indicated.
Have the system checked by your Lance dealer.
CAMPER FUSE PANEL
12-volt Interior Circuits
A 12-volt interior fuse panel is installed in the Power
Distribution Center to protect the interior circuits.
Circuit
infrequent, but can exist. Check the panel
reading when the fresh water tank is filled.
Material trapped on the sides of the holding
tanks may give a full reading when the tank is
actually empty. Use of a spray to wash out the
tank following dumping should help prevent
this condition.
NOTE: If the sensor probes mounted in the tanks get
coated with grease, the monitor panel may indicate
falsely or not at all. Avoid pouring grease, oils, or
similar substances down drains or the toilet. If this is
unavoidable, the holding tank(s) should be washed out
with a soapy water solution.
