Weird, had an 05 TC, now have an 03. Neither is even remotely "falling apart."
Seems most bad experiences on this website have the Lance name associated with them. Just an observation, never had a lance.
This thread is typical rvnet complaining.
And as sidecar said, TCs, not unlike other RVs, do sustain more wear and tear and issues if they are exposed to the elements year round or lived in. Makes sense. They're called campers, not houses.
