Out of several RVs we have had over the years, our Lance 815 was the best built and most trouble free camper we have ever owned. It was a 2004 and had a solid sheet aluminum roof that just needed a dab of dicor very year to stay leak free. Out of hundreds of days camping and thousands of miles-I used it for tournament fishing-the only repair was 1 AC unit. The best thing was when we (reluctantly) sold it we got about 90% of what we paid for it 6 years prior. They are without a doubt a quality company. Lance Campers are indeed expensive but just try to buy one used in the south and see how quick they get snatched up.
