Reason to not consider a Lance 1172?

Well, for one, the slide mechanisms are a "rack" type with teeth and gears that drive them. The big slide has three, the other slides have two sets each. On the mammoth the buttons for the slide are just inside the door opening. Extending all three take about 10 seconds and are smooth as butter. Also, the jacks are linked to the controller, that is each unit has its own code, like a garage door opener. Lance uses the exact controller on all of its units which means anyone with a lance could extend your jacks or open/close your slides with their controller. (at least that's what my Host dealer stated...) I love having access to the bed from both sides of the unit. The black tank is a little high but after a couple of times it becomes routine. Just dump the black first then the grey to clean out the hose. Host just seems to me to be a sturdier unit when compared to others I researched. A little heavy, but I have a 2015 F350 dually King Ranch with bilstein shocks, upper and lower torklift stableloads, and airlift airbags with a remote control. Only run the bags with about 30# with the unit on. Still have stock tires and rims but am thinking about 19.5's. Fresh water and holding tanks are also a plus. 65 gallon fresh, 51 gallon grey and 32 black tank. Just purchased 3, 160 watt solar panels with a tristar 45 amp MPPT controller that I'm going to install shortly. One other thing is the huge storage tray underneath the floor. Holds everything I could hope to carry.
Hope this helps...
