Favorite Lance Trailer dealer

Anyone have the name of a good dealer or Lance trailers? A friend of mine is looking at them locally and they seem to be WAY out of the ball park price wise. Thanks
  • Richard's Boat and RV Center in Lancaster, CA comes highly recommended. Same town where the Lance factory is located, and there seems to be a close working relationship between Richard's and Lance.

  • I looked at lance trailers, but I felt that for the price they were poor value. A bit more money for a northwood product seemed like a much better deal.
  • I've had good luck with Mesquite Ford in NV. Trailer Hitch RV in CA had the lowest prices, and also the rudest sales people to go along with it. Terry's RV in SLC isn't bad either.
  • We didn't buy a Lance, but the dealer in Mesquite NV treated us very well when we visited to check out the brand.
  • My wife and I are seriously looking at Lance trailers. We have visited Hill's RV in Yakima, WA. They have an excellent reputation for competitive pricing and good service. I understand that they are one of the highest volume Lance dealers in the country. This is a basic "mom and pop" RV dealership. No website, no fancy showroom, no high-pressure sales, closed on Sunday. This place is a breath of fresh air compared to the large dealerships around here.
  • Lance Owners of America has a website that you will get lots of good advice from. One of the Arizona Dealers is also a regular on the site, if your from Arizona also. I personally purchased from Mike Ferguson RV in Northern California. Good dealer and am very happy with the trailer and customer service.

    Lance tends to be higher priced than most massed produced 'made in Elkhart' RV's to start with and from my own experience in the Southeast US where there aren't as many Lance dealers compared to West of the Mississippi. And, they are proud of those babies and loathe to negotiate downward on price.




    I think you are right that Lance prices just tend to be higher in general than many of the other makes, so it may be a case of, if you want that brand, then you might well have to pony up the extra dollars to get it.
    There are other brands that carry a premium price as well. Airstream and Livin Lite come to mind. I'll leave it up to others to debate the reality of whether all these brands are worth the extra dollars up front, or not.
