This was our 1st trip in our new to us 1997 Lance 945 after I put the torklifts on, the airbags on and purchased some Fastguns to complete the package. And of course we went to a campground! We went to a campground just to make sure we knew how to do everything and to make sure everything worked. And everything did work just as the previous owner stated. We had rain, (it was dry inside), we had cool temps, 45 degrees, (the heater worked). Everything was great including the New Hampshire/Maine scenery! The truck performed very well. Put almost 500 miles on with and without the TC on the back, over hill and dale and got 13.96 MPG. Never strained a bit. Well, maybe on a couple of the hills the D-Max/Ally might have downshifted. We are very impressed with the complete package and hope this will be what we do in a few years when I retire.
Thanx to everyone that offered help to the questions we asked.
Included (I hope) are some pics!

NICE LOOKING OUTFIT!! A few more pics would have been better, but looks like you had a really nice time. Oh, for a second I thought I saw my dog laying on the bed in my Lance-but then I realized our bedspread is green and not white. Our Schnauzer looks exactly like yours. Gary

bugs,
Truly beautiful set up: hardly an 'entry-level' rig! Everything looks right.
Doesn't the 845 have the extra (winter) insulation package?
May you have many a happy camp.
