Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Lance 855s

Just looking for your opinion/satisfaction if you've been down this path.
It's going on my 2011 GMC 2500 D/A
They won't delete the Heki Skylight which is a concern.
The competitions comparables all seem to be heavier.
Thanks in advance
  • 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.

    There are people on the Lance Forum that had the Heki deleted. I was almost going to delete ours when we ordered earlier this year but the new Heki design addresses the weaknesses of the order ones. Still there are some things I don't like about it, for example not being able to close the shade all the way when its sunny and hot outside. Seems ridiculus. But my dealer said it would not be a problem for Lance to put something else in the cabover. He just said it would delay our order and may cost a little more.
