COBOZ,
Did you ever find accurate info on the Lance 975? What did you decide to do? I know your last post was 1 1/2 months ago but not finding much other info on rv.net about the Lance 975 because it is so new.
I've seen dry weight's listed on shipped Lance 975's that seem well optioned, including a generator but no solar panels, and those dry weight's are at about 3785 lbs. So, under 4k lbs dry but still well within DRW territory for a loaded vehicle.
I'm faced with the same dilemma in that the Lance 975 is almost the perfect design for me and the wife but still would push me into selling my SRW for a DRW. But, I have a good amount of time before I would actually sell our TT and buy a TC. I suppose one could say I'm doing my homework now so when I'm ready to purchase, maybe there will be some used Lance 975's around.
Decisions, decisions. :)
