6 weeks in--2013 Lance 850
I moved into this camper from a 2004 Lance 1010, also bought new. I lived in it for a little over 10 years, and have lived in this one 6 weeks. I kept my home for a year, to make sure the full-tim...

Glad to hear you are happy with your new Lance TC, stickbowjoe.
Dave Pete should watch the "Lance Manufacturing Process" video and he'd understand the difference in how precise Lance TC's are built compared to their competition with their old world jig and fixture method with sloppy fits, ? tack welds, and poorly fitting foam insulation that allows air transference from outside wall to inside wall. All his "manufacturing" quality questions would be answered and there's a dozen or so more videos on Lance's site he can watch also for any other question he may have. Any manufacturer can sweet talk an inquiry and tell them words they want to hear but there's one manufacturer who actually does what he wants and more! They'd spent millions to take the variation and employee errors far below any other TC manufacturer has even dreamed of. True quality and using the best materials speaks for themselves! Glitz and Glamour soon wears off but not true quality!
Lance uses NO wood in their TC body structure. 6061-T6 aluminum tubing welded at assembly in exact location and reinforced with Lance's patented "LanceLock" system doubling the tubing wall thickness at stress/support points and areas etc, "Azdel" waterproof composite that sound proofs and insulates instead of cheap wood lauan on the walls and roofs underlayment, etc, recessed captured wiring and liquid lines in CNC routed channels so there's no possibility of pinched wires or liquid lines, NO gap CNC precision cut foam insulation that has to be pushed into place and contacting 360 degrees around outside edge surfaces, Lite ply very strong cupboards with all panels CNC machined for precision assemble with zreo gaps the same as used in ultra expensive corporate jets, etc. Nothing used that will rot, absorb water, or that will support mold etc growth on all 6 sides of the TC structure.
