Sidecar,
What is it about Lance that makes them not a "quality builder" Just curious.
Just like the rest, build volume. While the fit and finish is somewhat better, the overall construction is the same. The one I sold had rot issues that came from a leaking transition strip that was almost impossible to keep sealed on the lower wings. One thing I looked for on a new unit, no transition strip (Filon side continuous without a seam on the wings). I see Lance is still building them with the seam and it's a bad design.
Lance is inherently heavy as well (TC's). Their sticker weights and the actual unit weight are 2 entirely different things. I suspect their pull behind's are also off weight (heavy) as well.
Don't get me wrong, I liked mine. I didn't lie the construction and I didn't like the weight either.
Would I ever buy another? Probably not.
At least they don't have the coveted 'Amish Craftsmen' building them, at least I don't think they do. Could have Mexicans instead....lol
