Is This Cheap Lance Camper from A Copart Auction any good??

can you really get a good deal at a salvage/insurance auction?? is Copart or IAA a scam?? I had a real fun time winning and picking up this lance truck camper except for the loading it myself thing for 4 hours and then the truck broke down....

No fork lift, no worries. He's a farmer, sorted. You're an absolute legend mate

A Little hillbilly ingenuity goes a long ways lol

[@joshuagraham3222]

That thing is going to clean up really nice. Great buy.

[@LifeofLind]

I think so too!

[@GerardCavanaughPhD]

Great buy!! Genius way to load and get out of the junk yard. Well done.

[@LifeofLind]

Thanks 👍

[@sams7655]

It's not a junkyard, damnit! It's practically a gold mine!

[@glentucker4250]

I am a big fan of the slide in campers. Get a nice big one like this, slide it into a 1 ton dually and just leave it in. Boom. Instant camper and a truck if you need it. I hope the repairs are updates make it on the channel. I recently seen a blue Barth parked in someone’s yard. I immediately thought of the one you rescued. 😀 That was a cool rig! Thanks Dustin!

[@LifeofLind]

I'm a big fan myself, the little shadow cruiser in the back of my truck has been in for 2 years, i can go fishing anywhere at anytime with it

[@pierrejobin6113]

Well, the new ones are about $50,000 so if you do a good job about it, you could ask a pretty penny for it still be able to sell

[@JohnDLeo-rg8tc]

Regards from Canada my friend, i enjoy your videos and humour. It looks like you have some excellent shop space and and and an awesome wife who seems to put up with and encourage you in your endeavors. God bless and good luck America.

[@LifeofLind]

thank you!

[@philstreeter9703]

Great job loading the camper. Quick thinking on the jack. I love auction videos.

Thanks 👍

Much appreciated!

[@carolmaplesden916]

To me that was a great day Anytime you get the opportunity to get a challenge and can see what you are made of It makes you a better person You had a great attitude about the whole thing and the way you loaded that and was able to get it home LoL 😂😂 Looks like you got a good camper Right on 👍

[@LifeofLind]

Thank you! it was a good Day!

[@arnoldanderson1501]

I just left my camper on the trailer. It towed fantastic behind my F-350. That way I could use the pickup bed and load the quad under the overhang.

[@LifeofLind]

I've seen that done, good way to do things !

[@SneekySecrets]

Excellent idea! Less set up. How about leveling?

[@helenfederoff7603]

That trip was nuts. Great video. When I saw the blue bus, I thought it was beastie. Do you ever hear from the man that bought that beautiful blue beast? This video really showed skills. I would have destroyed that camper trying to get it loaded. Much respect! Rock on!

[@LifeofLind]

I did see the Barth once in a small town in Nebraska, but that was about a year ago.

[@earlarthur9378]

I totally look forward to your videos sir. Keeping me hanging for over a month SUCKS but I trust you'll make up for that this summer. YOUR PROMISE is my wish answered. That Lance should go, well at least in the San Antonio area, 'tween 8 - 10 bones. Get a title for that K-wagon yet?

[@LifeofLind]

I have three more videos on the editing floor right now haha.. thanks for watching!

[@OtherSarah2]

Those coffee grounds are somebody's attempt to deter mice/bugs -- I bet previous owner believed hard in Facebook advice.

[@LifeofLind]

yeah probably

[@CombatDoc54]

I bought a hand held steamer from HF to clean mine up with. I put a little bit of the old fashion Lysol in it. Don't take much.

[@LifeofLind]

yes, I just steamed this one as well, cleaned very well

[@skipstein744]

This Lance 1010 is exactely like my 2003 1010. A good rig!

[@skipstein744]

I run a 2001 Ford F350 dually 4x4.

[@LifeofLind]

I agree a great unit!

[@LifeofLind]

great truck too!

[@rondogwil]

Me too. But mine is aluminum sided and blue cloth inside. I bought it new and haul it on my 97 OBS F250 diesel. Great camper!

[@garlandstyle5797]

Does he have another channel where he shows fixing these buys up and reselling them? Meaning "Before and After". I'd subscribe, but I don't see why if there are no results and learning from the FIX UPs. Good buy though.

[@LifeofLind]

WE have repair videos on the channel, this unit didn't need much so we didn't shoot a video on it

[@ronaldohagenow1467]

Just bought one same model 1200 bucks one owner generator works excellent condition absolutely spotless inside so it’s stored in the barn though. It’s a Vermont owned RV or actually truckcamper very well-maintained and I love it.

[@LifeofLind]

What a great deal! this one turned out great as well

[@MsLori-BassGirl4Life]

Never new they had a generator. You deliver to ontario? 😂

[@nakiawright42]

What a man 🎉🎉🎉 that's good that you know how to work them hands

[@LifeofLind]

got her loaded!

[@dwaynet2184]

Wow you got a good one , because it has the red and blue water lines those will not freeze and bust. Those lines will freeze but they won't bust because they can handle swelling and not bust .

[@LifeofLind]

yes its a very solid unit, cleaned up really well too!

[@cinepost]

@@LifeofLindplease do a follow up video. Have you sold it yet?

[@nvragn]

I'm not sure maybe I missed it or you didn't say it but why was it written off. It definitely looks good and it is easy to see that it will definitely clean up well. 👍🇨🇦

[@LifeofLind]

hail dents on the roof, very minor and cosmetic only

[@nvragn]

@@LifeofLind wow ty for the response 👍 🇨🇦

[@craigjohnson3603]

Nice buy I'd like to get one of those.

[@LifeofLind]

very solid campers, heavy if you get a big one like this

[@twofathoms1]

If you had a couple pipes to roll on would that have worked?

[@LifeofLind]

I thought about doing that for next time, or making a sled with rear wheels that can be pulled with the winch

[@unknowndrifter57]

Great buy looks like after the fixes 8 to 12k maybe fir quick flip

[@LifeofLind]

cleaned up pretty good!

[@sams7655]

Awesome video ive been looking for a decent camper for my old chevy. What are you asking for it?

[@LifeofLind]

that one sold in a week. some good older ones on marketplace ive seen though!

[@deanvoss7098]

I instantly subscribed... love it

[@LifeofLind]

thank you

[@risingsunadventuretravels9908]

I once owned a lance truck camper much like this one. The insulation in mine was styrofoam between the outside fiberglass and the inside paneling. It leaked on top between the outside fiberglass and the inside paneling. styrofoam soaks water like a sponge. You can't know it until you smell it and the inside paneling starts rooting away. I paid 19,000.00 and sold it for 8,000.00 dollars only 2 years later.

[@LifeofLind]

yeah water in RV's is the death of them

[@chele-chele]

You'll triple your money on that once you get it sorted, good score man!

[@LifeofLind]

That's the plan!

[@lindaalaniz7129]

Amazing job.

[@LifeofLind]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@iscariotproject]

thats probably why you won the auction nobody wants to have anything to do with that yard

[@JustinScott-j6y]

Hi you got a smoking deal the price is right and the unit is not in too bad a shape man I'm envious right now hats off to you flipping it sounds good but maybe just maybe you should consider keeping it I'm just saying but hey you know best

[@LifeofLind]

I'd keep it if it wasn't so big, my truck has the 6.5 box not the 8

[@hoss5852]

Always an adventure. 😎 Do the things brother.

It's a win but you gotta work for it haha!

Looks like you should be able to flip it for a nice profit. Have fun with it mate 😊

That's the plan! it turned out really nice after a steam clean and a scrub

Clean it up a bit and try to sell it as is, could be an extremely quick flip.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mrshaneyt43]

How can it get that dirty? Maybe the door was open in the yard on a windy day 🤷🏻‍♂️ But apart from the horrible pick up to test the patience of a saint ( then the truck stopping) I think you have a great buy . If anyone can get it up to spec it’s you .

[@LifeofLind]

It turned out really nice, the day was a bit of a struggle for sure!

Jeez Copart seem completely useless and disorganised. Got to commend your perseverance and ingenuity on getting the thing loaded.

you can still get a deal if you put in the work

[@davestevens4263]

I say you did good , idk what you paid but its in good shape , some cleaning. Im looking at nice shine stills , that lites my fuse . Im thinking $7 -$8 k on camper . Ive got a travel lite for my tacoma . Thats rare & hard to find . I bought new in Wisconson & had it shipped to commifornia.
