IMO I would go with the AF or ALP, in 2004 we looked at and compared every TC that was available. The Lance just didn't match the build quality of the others in the same price range.....just my $.02.
We ended up with an AF 1140, and it was 5200 lbs wet without any of our stuff in it. I picked it up with a SRW F350 CC 4x4 and it laughed at that truck and almost put it on the axles bumpers. Thus the Dodge, loaded on the Dodge I was 11,200 loaded and ready to camp, 700 lbs over GVWR but well under my axles and tire ratings.
good luck
