New 2017 Lance 825
Greetings. Just got a 2017 Lance 825 to replace the Adventurer 89RB we had. Its quite a bit lighter and more off-road friendly being narrower and shorter in height. Of course you give up some amenities for the smaller size, one propane tank, one battery, smaller water tanks, less height in the bed area.
One thing that really irks me is the slinky storage. I purchased a 10' slink and even trying to compress it as much as possible it doesn't fit into the hose storage. Lance...what were you thinking? Any shorter than 10 feet and it won't reach the sewer hole in campgrounds or disposal sites. It would have been easy to have a longer hose storage mounted under the rear over-hang.
Otherwise, it is a stellar rig. Beautiful decor inside, thoughtful extras like a battery charger connection outside, LED's, neat closet for clothes storage or others (we put a 3 level rack in ours...my Tuxedo won't be making too many trips in this rig). We also swapped out the microwave for a convection microwave since there is no oven (one thing we really appreciated on the 89RB). I told the salesman, "if there ain't no Nachos being made, there ain't no sale being made."
This weekend is the ice breaker trip from Lost Angeles to Tahoe. We'll see how it does and post pictures.
