Adventurer vs EC

I looked at both the Adventurer & EC down at Apache. Liked the floor plan of the Advent. I just thought that the interior was cheaper looking and just didn't have the quality or attention to detail as the EC. But I would expect this for a far cheaper priced camper!. In my opinion you can't really try to compare the two.
Adventurer I think builds a quality product but its mostly for the RV Rental market I believe, so they don't have to have all the "gingerbread".
I personally liked the new EC 995 but just couldn't justify its huge price tag. So I will be picking up my new Lance 1050s when it comes in. I saved about 10k over the EC. I actually like the new Lance's (I didn't like them 2-3 yrs ago, but they finally cleaned up the interior the last couple of yrs IMHO.
Good Luck.

yeah I agree pretty much. the adventurer line has really improved in the last couple years. they are very nice. a big step up from our 2010. I have no complaints on our camper though and we use it all year long. its just the new ones are built much nicer and better. i think acquiring eagle cap a few years ago has stepped them up even more.

You never mentioned Lance but I've had very good luck with our 1191 and it has tons of storage space inside and out and the very comfortable deep dinette.The reason I mention this camper is I see we have the same size pickup and I think the 1160 would put a big strain on it vs an 1191.

The 1191 is very nice but I'm looking at weight/budget, I have a unique situation we always take two vehicles due to family size, the older kids use a tent the TC is more like a base camp and we are never out more than a long weekend, also thinking of going SRW yes I'm aware of the raging debate on SRW vs DRW but again budget. I'm having to get a truck as well my sig truck is now gone :(.
