Is there any TC out there that is really finished when it comes from the dealer lot?
My 2002 Fleetwood is pretty well done and regardless the damages it got over the years, I really like it.
I ended with 2nd camper last year when Fleetwood show too much dryrot, but even 12 foot Lance has convenient side door, I hate smaller bathroom and lack of counter space.
We took repaired Fleetwood last weekend to Goldfield festival and not only I was comfortable with huge countertop and dry bath where I could turn around without knocking anything down, but after finally working Glow Steps into right configuration - the rear entrance was no longer annoyment. Ducted AC brought quiet and nicer air distribution. We used less than 50% of available storage.
Watched mpg gauge pretty carefully as Fleetwood is not only heavier, but over 1 foot taller than Lance, but turn out getting basically the same 12 mpg +- 0.2
Not direct comparison to OP camper who can be carried on 250/2500 pickup, but good stuff does exist.
Just not too often.
