Airstream or Lance?

Lance does not use staples in their cabinets. Hate them if you must but don't make false statements. Are you sure you were at the Lance factory? Maybe you were smoking some of the green stuff. :B

This is from 2010
"RV PRO: When did Lance make the business decision to expand its line into travel trailers?
Jacobson: Actually, it took place a little over a year ago with the Düsseldorf RV show in Germany. There we saw the methods of construction that the Europeans were using, and we felt they were a lot more advanced than what we were using. We did some inquiring into what was done and how it was done, and we started to import not just the CNC machinery, but also materials. The cabinet material that we now use in both our trailers and our campers is made in Spain. It has a very lightweight core, looks like wood, and it is finished on both sides. By using it, we eliminate the use of wood sticks and staples in cabinets."

Re read, mention of 2012 was on LED's in lights and no SD cards in radio entertainment center. I've looked at cabinets in Lance campers, pre 2010 also. I've looked at the whole product line. At the time, they were trying to get a new rear push out design on a camper ready for an up and coming RV show.

Been using adjustable Euro hinges on custom red oak or paint grade cabinets, since, oh, 1990, as well as screw and glue on stiles and rails. Please don't insult my intelligence. Lovely that Lance gets into the game 20 years later.

IMHO, not worth the money, and yes, it's still a throw away camper... still putting little 9000 Btu Coleman Polar Bear AC's in the unit back then also, instead of a 13.5Btu Dometic. About as aerodynamic as a Brick, and the hugest decal lettering saying LANCE front and rear, that I've ever seen, in 1970's airbrushed chrome styled lettering... something I found rather vain on a TT.
