On West coast Lace beats all the competition hands down.
Just go to local Craigslist and see what is on the market.
That's because people have seen the light and are selling their Lace to upgrade to an Arctic Fox - billtexExplorer II

Of course, volumes mean nothing if total manufactured isn't considered. After all, the most popular camper may be the more expensive ones (supply and demand) if they don't produce many.
For example, if manufacturer A produces 10,000 campers and sells 9000 vs manufacturer B who produces 1000 and sells 1000.....
Ran that through google translate...got nothing... - brholtExplorer IINorthwood announced this summer they had produced their 15,000 truck camper (Wolf Creek and Arctic Fox). I don't know when they started manufacturing but compared to the large trailer manufactures that is not a large volume.
My understanding is Lance is #1 in volume by a significant amount followed by Northwood and then AMLRV. - emcvayExplorer IIIOf course, volumes mean nothing if total manufactured isn't considered.

Agreed that here in the West it is Lance, with Four Wheel as a close second. I see them of all vintages everywhere I go. But they are built here in California and have been for many years. Stats might be different elsewhere.
Hey do you live in Arrowhead? I've seen a Tiger just like yours there for years when I worked at LACSD. - devildog1971Explorer IIThe tiger 4x4 seems to be the best I have seen looks like a clam shell design like bigfoot and a truck, and a class C really like the tiger design
- travelnutzExplorer IIRarely see Northwood/Arctic Fox TC's east of the Mississippi River but sure do see several Lance TC's every day on the road, in store parking lots etc, or in CG's. We look for TC's as we have always had a various brand TC's ourselves constantly since 1965. Do see some Cirrus and a few Palomino's maybe in a week's time. Very rare to see a Bigfoot, Eagle Cap, Adventurer, or Northern Lite in a weeks time on the road etc or in a CG either in the Midwest as TC's are quite popular here as we know.
- jimh406Explorer IIII don’t think how many are for sale is necessarily a good measure. I see more Northwood than anything else. Maybe that’s because Northwood users use theirs. :D
In any case, we aren’t talking giant numbers according to RVIA shipments , there were 589 shipped in 2017 and 919 in 2018 for all brands.
In comparison, there were 137,086 of all types shipped in 2018.
