2015 Lance 1985





























7 Replies

  • I looked seriously at this model and a few other Lances, and was a little concerned about quality, plus the fact they supposidly use the Lippert chassis which has had issues (Not 100% sure on that one). I noticed a lot small things wrong, like gaps in the shower pan and things like that. I picked up a Northwood 234RBS for a few more dollars and felt the quality was far better. The only thing i did not like was the fact they are higher than the lance. And heavier. If I had the same truck you appear to have, I probably would have gone for the lance. Underside clearance is also important to me because of where I go.

    What I bought is a very similar floor plan, although it looks like you may be able to squeeze past a closed slide inthe Lance, which I cannot. In mine the kitchen counterspace is larger which I think may have been the compromise there.

    There is no perfect RV. You should join the LOA.

  • I agree on both counts. Nice trailer. We checked into that model but it didn't quite fit our needs. Pretty nice fit & finish on Lance products; we liked the LED lights, sturdy ladder, wood cabinets, etc. Enjoy your new toy! :)

    Very nice Lance. We love our new 1985.
    I would change out your tongue jack stand (rock0 for the 6" flip away, or buy an 6" HD wide spread tongue support. The rock is a slip ready to happen.
  • very nice. great pics. Is the solar panel a factory installed or something you added?
