Quality of Lance Trailers?

Wife and I were looking at the Lance 1995 too,until she discovered we had more storage in the kitchen (cabinets,drawers,pantry in our 2000 Lance 1030 truck camper we just sold after 11 1/2 yrs,than what's in the Lance 1995 TT. The slide out dinet in the model 1995 is awesome but the shower is no larger that what was in the camper. That along with the cost has us looking elsewhere. Lance quality is hard to beat though.

Yes.

Do they still have a flat roof?

The quality of the Lance is very good. Biggest downsides (for some) is low ride height and light duty frame making it a less then stellar choice for off road usage. If it was going to be a pavement princess I would not hesitate to buy.

IDman... I tried sending you a PM regarding the message you sent to me in March, but see that you don't accept PM's. Just wanted to get an update on your truck.

We looked at Lance TTs last year. Our biggest drawback was the lack of cabinets over the bed, dinette, etc. which really limited the storage.

I looked at a 2285 Lance travel trailer at an RV show. Very good quality but was disappointed that the roof air was not ducted even though the bedroom was enclosed, not condusive to keeping the bedroom cool when needed. Wireman

There is a forum called lance owners forum. If you visit over there they have a section for trailer discussion where folks have shared their experiences both positive and negative.

I have never owned a Lance but I have read Lance truck campers are among the best in the industry. And I have read that Lance TT are sub par. This from people who have actually owned them.

We just toured Lance TTs at the Atlanta RV Show yesterday, and we fell in love! It's a true four season TT, built well with great features, including enclosed and heated tanks. Since we camp a lot in FL, I loved the automatic awning that rolls up if it senses windy conditions. They're a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Except for the 1575, which is 7 feet wide and built solely for saving weight, the other models are 8 feet wide, have large black/gray tanks (45 gallons each), and have comfortable full bed sized dinettes. Since we'll have grandchildren occasionally camping with us eventually, this is a great feature. The large dinette also makes for comfortable lounging space, as is.

The 1985 has larger rear bathroom, with a rectangular shower and more hanging space in the bathroom, whereas the 1995 has a corner bathroom with a triangular shower and a little less hanging space outside the bathroom. The 1985 has the t.v. hanging on the outside of the bathroom wall to the side of the dinette (opposite wall from the end of the bed), and the 1995 has the t.v. on a swinging stand on a wall near the bed that can face the bed or swing out to face the dinette. There's not enough wall space in the 1985 to do this.

Each of these models have their pros and cons. They're similar in length and weight, so your friend needs to decide which one best fits his/her needs. My husband and I hope to buy a new camper in a year or two when he retires. Both of these models are on our short list. We're also looking at the Livin Lite Camplite 21RBS.
