Just looking at the dealer closest to me, he has 2 2018 Lance 855S, one for $49,237 and one for $50,883 on his
website. Seems that ones with a slide like this one are more expensive. I thought Lance was top of the line?
I've towed a TT for 20 years but don't know anything about TCs, hope you guys don't mind me hanging around this part of RV.net...
I have no doubt that guys have spent north of $5k on minor repairs, the hours it takes to do a job like this at dealer labor rates make almost any RV uneconomical to fix after problems like this. Fortunately I have the tools and skills to do a decent repair on my own time, and when it's done will be a big source of pride for me. Of course there will a lot of custom adds to the interior, new flooring etc.
It is kind of a hobby now that you mention it....I've made so many mods to our TT over the years based on stuff I read here, it's just fun I guess.
