I need a users manual for a 1983 Lance camper for water hookup

When you're looking for your old RV owner's manual, the first place you should check is the manufacturer's website. They usually keep records of digital (PDF) owner's manuals for all models and years of their campers, but you might have to do some digging.

A camper is usually fitted with two batteries and a split charge system that isolates the batteries from each other when the engine is switched off. One battery is the standard vehicle type and the other a leisure or semi-traction type to supply the low voltage caravan or camper fittings and appliances.

The caravan battery usually is recharged by a mains operated charging system that would be operational when an onsite mains hookup is connected and the charging/distribution unit generally has a helpful charge/battery state meter.
It is worth noting the output of integrated battery chargers is usually very modest and likely to be able only to maintain the battery charge when the 12 volt lighting and water pump/toilet flush is being used. Additional equipment such as audio, 12 volt tv and especially an inverter will discharge a battery in a fairly short time.

The laws of physics tell us we can't get something for nothing and that is especially pertinent when an inverter is being used. Commercial inverters make big promises; but drawing even a modest wattage can represent a relatively high battery drain - using a fairly ordinary colour tv on an inverter can take a 90 amp/hour battery down in a couple of evenings or less.

In the fuel tank.

You should have a 3/4 ton or bigger for Lance 855. I'm sure your truck can but you to put camper springs on the back and your truck may struggle with the camper.

so did you hook up the distributor wire. in some of those old trucks the distributor wire is back in the wiring harness. or you need a hot wire that goes on/off with the key. and it will plug in to your distributor.

Best to search online for your specific Breadmaker Brand and model to locate the manufacturers website. Better manufacturers and brands post manuals which are usually in multiple languages.

The extra battery is there because of the glow plugs and intake heater of the duramax. During cold weather both of these systems draw high amperage from the batteries. A single battery will function, but not as well as a pair.
