We have been trying to decide between the Nash 25C and the Lance 2185 (we like the bunks for the kids) and need a true 4 seasons TT. Since I am in So Cal only 2 hrs from Lance factory that has some appeal. I also like the Lance product since they have seem to have thought about all the little things. The Nash on the other hand appears to be built on a better in house chassis, has a solid reputation (Northwood), has more ground clearance, is a few thousand less and the biggest item for me is the generator option (propane). I am not aware of any other TT that has a generator. Northwood dealers are few and far between in Southern California but my research indicates that Northwood will cooperate with most RV repair places for warranty work. The extra weight of the Nash isn't an issue since I have a Ford 2012 diesel f250. I welcome any comments good or bad. We still haven't ruled out a Attitude Toy hauler either.
Lance is a true 4 Seasons Trailer. Just because it isn't heavy like a Nash or Arctic Fox doesn't detract from the fact that it's a 4 Season certified RV.
Heavy doesn't make something better, and in the case of Nash, they're still using typical "house insulation" in the walls, so this gives this type of insulation to settle or debride over the years. Lance uses Azdel substrate w/ extruded polystyrene.
Lance is built on a BAL/Norco chassis which is a fine choice (Lance doesn't use cheap 3rd party vendors)
Lance has gone the distance to make the lightest, strongest travel trailer available to the public
You're close to the Lance factory. Go take a free tour of the facility and see for yourself the quality that goes into each unit. If nothing else, you'll become acquainted with modern manufacturing techniques (CNC Routers, use of Lite-Ply wood, PEX plumbing) Pinch rolled extruded polystyrene wall materials, with Azdel, etc)
Don't forget that now the 2014 Lance RV's all carry A 2 YEAR WARRANTY.
