I hear a lot of good about Lance but our local dealers do not sell them and we prefer to buy local (which is a limiting factor for us)
Yeah, I understand that one. My preference was OutdoorsRV, but like you, I wanted a business relationship with a dealer within a reasonable distance of me. And I have a dealer that has locations about 50 miles either side of my house. And they have Lance products.
Frank, while it is marketed that Lance trailers can be pulled by smaller than 1/2T pickups, that is purely dependent on model and more marketing fluff than reality. Of course, it depends on what you are doing with the TT and where you are going. And if you are loading it and the TV down with more than a few meals of Mountain House freeze dried food. It doesn't put a lot on a decent SUV to pull a trailer down an interstate and into an out of level RV parks. But it is not the wisest thing to take a trailer off the beaten trail and into remote dispersed camping situations with that same SUV, especially the larger Lance versions. Not that I need to, as it is what I need for other uses, but I use a 3/4 ton Chevy.
