Open Range or Lance

Posting to follow this subject. We purchased a 2016 Jayco Eagle 284BHBE this spring thinking we would be bringing a couple kids/grandkids every trip, doesn't look like that is happening so we are wanting to downsize to around 25' range also but want quality.

We have had a 2015 216RBS for a little over a year. Probably spent around 100 nights in it and towed it over 10,000 miles. Only problem has been a broken leaf spring that Lippert took care of at our RV site while we were on the road.

I have had to adjust the slide cables once and I modified the plumbing so both gray tanks are connected together. I just didn't like having separate bath and kitchen gray tanks and didn't like the requirement to connect two drain hoses while at a park.

It's never been back to the dealer for any kind of work because it's never had a problem that needed repairing. We traded in a 2015 Jayco we had for 2 months that just wasn't working out.

Thanks! I love hearing this. I am a member of the OR forum but I have a hard time navigating it due to the way it is set up. And I have posted and not really had much response so I thought I would try here to see. I feel like sometimes on the owners forums you hear all the bad things and surely there are good things to hear too :)

We love our Open Range TT but it is not a light model. Very few problems since we bought it new over 3 years ago. I did change out the junk tires to some good Maxxis tires after one year.
