Although the Lance is lighter, Adventurer and Arctic Fox have larger capacities and better insulation. If you forgo the slide, look at Wolf Creek, NorthStar and Northern Lite.
I prefer a dark sleeping area, so the side escape window with just a Fantastic Fan at the foot bed serves us well. We also have a full wall wardrobe in the cabover which removes the other side window. Ventilation still occurs between the fan vent and window even without running the fan. We have exterior vent covers that allow us to keep them open while traveling or in wind and rain.
How good does the insulation really need to be for a camper? We have spent many days in our Lance 845 which is the same size roughly as the 855 non S camper and in 10-15 degree whether the furnace kept us toasty inside. On our last two week winter trip with the daytime temperature never making it above freezing we used less than 10 lbs. of propane with the heating and the cooking and fridge.
Extra tank capacity would be worthless for us as we would need a DRW truck to handle the extra weight of the fluids and nothing is worth the problems with using a DRW for non-camper duty for us to consider this for a second. Might as well get a class C motorhome and have much simpler setup overall.
