    I could handle the flat roof. Ground clearance, no. It's too bad they don't make bigger floor plans. None of them meet our needs.
    OTH it's too bad other manf don't take a few Q's from Lances build quality.
    We went to the local RV show a few weeks ago. Pulled a lot of drawers. Not one of them had dovetail construction, all were stapled. And this was on some nicer $70,000 MSRP 5'ers.
    Too bad the Indiana RV makers can't get some Amish CNC machines.
  • The flat roof, low ground clearance and the slide out being raised above the floor would be a deal breaker for me.
  • As far as Travel Trailers - #1
    As far as Lightweight Travel Trailers - #1
    As far as Towable Mfgs - #1 or #2 (tie w/ Airstream, LivinLite, or Evergreen.)
    As far as ALL RV's: - In the top 5, I agree w/ sbowman871
    As far as Truck Campers, Lance holds a 40% Market Share (up from 37% a year or so ago) so obviously - #1

    The attention paid to detail and the design quality is so far ahead of even old companies like Airstream, it isn't even funny! When Airstream can build a zero tolerance Travel Trailer, then come back and talk to me!

    I don't know of another Travel Trailer or RV manufacturer using CNC Routers to cut and jig the drawers, cabinets, block foam insulation, wiring pathways and culverts, etc.

    Yes, I'm sure Woodglue wood agree, top 5 is a bit of a stretch though IMO.
  • A good presentation and the technology does build an accurate product.

    One thing I did notice, the TT's have flat roofs? I do not know if they are intentionally pitched to a side or not. Wonder why they did that? Yes, I know they can build it easier that way, just why not use gravity of run off in your favor.

    Thanks for posting the link. I'll have to stop at a dealer and see one up close some time.
  • The attention to detail is pretty impressive at Lance. No little thing gets overlooked and they cast their net far and wide to only use the best materials available! Beauflor, Lamilux, LitePly Hardwoods, Azdel, building with a zero tolerance via CNC Routers, etc.
