Feedback: AF 25W vs Lance 2285
I've been reading these forums for several years and am looking for some feedback. I think there's a lot of great feedback on this site. I'll give some background. I don't want a Ford v Chevy argument...

We bought our Lance 2285 last spring and are quite pleased with it. I have no experience with AF so I can't offer a comparison.
Our TT came with a 160 watt solar panel from the factory and it keeps the battery charged well when dry camping, but we are usually pretty light on our power usage. The all-LED lights help too. We like the fact that every wall has at least one window, and the curved window up front makes for nice stargazing while you nod off to sleep. A couple of well-placed curtains make it possible to close off the bedroom from the rest of the trailer, in case one of you wants to sleep in and the other one doesn't. I like the light weight, but with your 3500 that won't be an issue for you.
Some folks are leery of Lance's use of the Carefree power awning, but I haven't had any issues with it yet. The built-in line of LEDs in the awning make a nice atmosphere at night.
All in all, if I buy another TT, it'll probably be another 2285.
