Dear Lance Camper,

I would like option instead of onan generator,a Honda eu3000 in compartment,hooked to propane.

Regarding the Ebay link above. I wonder if you can get the recvr end (small in line box) so you can control a few lights all at the same time that are on different circuits with a single remote.

my Lance has a momentary outside light switch for the ouside light on the door side...and I installed a light just inside the step well to light my way in. I could probably wire it to come on with same outside switch!

Has anyone replaced the CF tubes with LED tubes? I have two ceiling lamps with two tubes each.

Correct, they aren't cheap. I've priced them out and they are spendy.

My bro is a Electrical contractor and he say dimmer switches for 12Vdc leds are cheap, here's a link to some on Ebay...12Vdc dimmer switches

On my 825 I wish the battery was in one of the outside storage compartments.

That's the beauty of the DIY and modification trend.

If you're really ticked, send a snail mail letter to Lance and you'll get a response about your concerns. That also goes for Northwoods, Jayco, Forest River, Winnebago, etc etc.

My 2015 TT has a dimmer switch over the slideout dinette, which is great.

I think that Lance listened to their customer base during the big 2015 model changeover. I can see it in the newer 2015 models, and I have a 2015 model but it is the standard Lance diamond plate front one. The made some major changes (that I'm not too sold on frankly) that the consumer wanted.

I think a well intentioned, non accusatory old fashioned USPS letter to Lance (or any other manufacturer) goes a LONG WAY

And not to defend Lance, but they have made approx. 300 travel trailers since last September, that isn't exactly cranking them out imo. Have you ever seen that Lance Camper Factory Tour video available on YouTube? They are very well made trailers.

I'd have kept my Arctic Fox but not enough room (no slideout) but that trailer had some major flaws (un user friendly stuff)

Hell, I would have still been in the Minnie Winnie if I hadn't fried the damn thing Hahaha!

855s?

Lose the crappy plastic interior latches

Reconfigure the bathroom so that it is human body compatible (look at an Eagle Cap 850 or an Arctic Fox 865 and compare)

MOVE THE BATTERIES!!! or at least change to outside access.

That's just the big ones.

Other minor items?

More inside drawers in kitchen area (again look at EC or AF)

Better arrangement of the drain down points.


And Lance gets premium $$ for their units vs. other better built/ laid out TCs.

In other industries, companies look at their competitor's products to see how they might improve. Guess Lance is too busy cranking out units and trips to the bank.

We are about to fix all these problems...........Stay tuned.

Newer campers are all LED. To dim requires a PWM controller for each light and those are not cheap. I suppose a louver system over a light would work, but would probably break about the third trip out. There are two LED lights over the dining table that dim. They look like those lights you get in an airplane; a socket that pivots.

I too wish for that! In the meantime, I installed a motion detection light just inside the door. I wave my hand over it and it lights up the floor so I can see to get in.

Also, a COSTCO 2" memory foam mattress topper makes my stock Lance mattress the most comfortable bed I have! Under $100.

I would pay more for a better mattress option upgrade from the factory.

I would like it if there was a 4th light switch on the dinette next to the exterior light switches near the entry that was a on/off for all the interior lights. Then I could turn on the interior lights I left on before I entered the camper or I could flip off the interior lights that the DW left on without crawling back inside.
