there are many differences. Lance uses a Lippert frame, Lance walls are 1 1/2 inch thick. If you need a light TT the Lance is a good one. I have a Wind River 250RDSW and I really like it. BTW, you get to go to a cool rally in Oregon with a ORV TT.

Lance uses a Bal/Norco huckbolted frame "Ultra Frame"

I stand 6'-4" tall and that may be the single biggest thing that pushes me to the ORV Timber Ridge 240 rks.I feel like I need to duck in the Lance

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.

I could have written that post. The frame on the Creekside is beefy, and the clearance is pretty good. I take mine off road a lot, to places where the low-riding Lance would be stuck in no time flat. The shocks and larger wheels also make the trailer ride much smoother off road.

I was mildly amused when I had the rear stabilizers relocated and replaced with lower profile units (for yet more off road clearance), and the welder was praising the frame.

If you're purely pulling on-road, the choice would be more difficult, perhaps.

I should add that the Lance model would be the 2015.5 with the new nose and a few new added features. Really nice looking for sure.

Where do you find info on the 2015.5 models? Their site still has 2014.

The ducted air would be the deciding factor for me. Center blast just doesn't seem to get where it needs to. Is the roof on that one arched? Another big feature if yes. Don't you hate bouncing back and forth? Good luck.
