SB Single Slide Throw Down

What turned us away from the AF, was not only the weight, but also that the mfg doesn't seem to care how much their rigs weigh. In contrast, Lance really seems to want to improve their product by looking for ways to shave weight where they can. They even keep their holding tanks at a reasonable level, which I appreciate (if it had a 100-gallon fresh tank, I would probably fill it to capacity!) Lance also continues to invest in their manufacturing process, looking for precision and efficiencies.

AF also turned us off with their "mandatory option" shenanigans. Honestly, it doesn't even make any sense and makes me question their integrity and marketing tactics.

The straw that broke the camels back, was the local dealer and the blatant lies they tried to feed us, not to mention their rude comments.

Finally, we were already Lance owners and found our camper to be of high quality and very reliable. This gave us confidence in making our second camper a Lance too.

Funny thing, we found just opposite, the Lance dealers (yes three of them) we're flakes when we asked for pricing with certain options (over the phone after visiting the dealer) and we didn't even get a return call. We really tried to compare the AF to the Lance, but the dealers didn't want to play ball and the AF fit our needs better anyway without having to make costly changes in dinette configurations, etc.. It's a difficult decision to make and everyone is different in what they'll accept as a minor or major obstacle. We really enjoy the large fresh/gray/black tank sizes. We can go for days on end without having to worry about running out or over. ;)
