These are my final two contenders before ordering.Both are very good. My tow vehicle is not an issue as I could pull much bigger than these.I do like the heavier frame, the underbelly clearance and the interior headroom on the 240 rks and the fit/finish on the Lance. Its a coin toss right now I think. Everyday I lean toward one or the other with no conclusion.Today the wind has shifted toward the 240 rks.

I like Lance TTs, but they don't have ducted AC - does the one you are looking at have it?

No. The Lance AC is not ducted. The roof is flat with no space.

I have looked and like the Outdoors Rv products so maybe a little biased but a couple things for me jump out. Better size water tank on Outdoors RV is important if you do a lot of bush camping. Easier to fill up and not have to worry once you get in the bush than transport extra jugs. 14" Tires appear a little small on the Lance unless they can be upgraded. The other question to ask is why is the Lance 2000lbs lighter. I know they use Azdel etc. to help but at 2K I am sure there is more on the construction side to explain it. Those are just a few that jumped off the front page quickly.

I think a large piece of the 2K difference is the frame

ORV uses lightweight construction as well, except for the really strong frame. What made choose my creekside was the stout chassis with proper gussets at suspension points, shock absorbers, good ground clearance, and proper 16" GoodYear Marathon tires (I think all the other size units have 15" though).The walls, ceiling, and floor all seem to be well insulated, however the windows are not. Mine was not ordered with dual-pane windows. I wish it had them.
