We purchased a Lance 1995 in March. Have had it out on a number of trips. No problem with the build, but just had it into an axle shop, as it pulled squirrely. Turns out the wheel hubs were not tight on one side (both axles). So, that was a Dexter problem, not a Lance problem. Have not heard back from Dexter for my claim under warranty. Maybe Dexter doesn't care, once it is out of their factory.
But, we love the Lance. Most people on the Lance forum seem to have had good luck with their new trailers. Yes, some have problems, but none to the extent listed above. Can't say all Lance trailers are built great, but mine was, especially when compared to those listed above.
