I live near the factory and know people who either work there or own a new Lance camper.
I do have an oven/ stove combo as well as a microwave. And I have a spare tire. Not sure what the plastic wood is but I know that the special light weight formaldehyde free plywood they use for the cabinets and doors is way lighted than the solid wood used in my old toy hauler allowing for more cabinets and storage tan I previously had for about the same weight.
Their maybe a better built toy hauler out there but I'm not aware of it.
My inlaws have a brand new 16' TT from Lance, and i swear thats how it came from the Lance factory in our town, The frame is light weight bolt together with holes to make it light, didnt like that either.

It's a very nice looking camper.
I'm curious as to how your towing weights worked out vs. your RGAWR and GVWR. My toy hauler has a published dry weight 2,000 lbs. lighter than the 2212 and loads my F150 (1607 lb. payload) to within 50 lbs. of the RGAWR (no Max Tow).
100 gallons of water!
The spec sheet is interesting.
Lance 2212
Tongue Wt./Gross Dry Wt. = 640/6605 = 9.7%
Tongue Wt./GVWR = 640/9950 = 6.4%
They must be counting on carrying some water.
Mine:
Funfinder Xtra XT-245
Tongue Wt./Gross Dry Wt. = 765/4650 = 16.5%
Tongue Wt./GVWR = 765/7765 = 9.9%
As weighed Tongue Wt./As weighed camper wt. = 780/6740 = 11.5%
How did the tongue weight work out when it was loaded?

Out of several RVs we have had over the years, our Lance 815 was the best built and most trouble free camper we have ever owned. It was a 2004 and had a solid sheet aluminum roof that just needed a dab of dicor very year to stay leak free. Out of hundreds of days camping and thousands of miles-I used it for tournament fishing-the only repair was 1 AC unit. The best thing was when we (reluctantly) sold it we got about 90% of what we paid for it 6 years prior. They are without a doubt a quality company. Lance Campers are indeed expensive but just try to buy one used in the south and see how quick they get snatched up.

idk but 44K sounds p pricy to me.
