Airstream or Lance?
Greetings, Everyone! This is my very first post. I own a 2014 Toyota 4Runner that can tow 5,000 lbs. max. I want to buy a new Airstream 22-foot Sport or a Lance 23-foot 1985. Both weight about 3,8...

Thank you everyone for your comments regarding the 22-foot Airstream Sport versus the 23-foot Lance 1985. I have received approximately 20 replies from Good Sam RV Net, 30 replies from Air Forum, and 60 replies from Lance Owners. Wow! The consensus seems to be the Airstream will tow better and last longer, and the Lance will camp better and is a much better value. I am going to rent 2 more trailers next month at the 3,800lb. dry weight for better evaluation of the capabilities of my 2014 Toyota 4Runner. I will camp at a Coast Guard Channel Islands station inspection and at The Good Sam Rally in Phoenix, AZ. At this point, I am strongly leaning toward the Lance and will start soliciting prices from dealers. Thank you all again for your most helpful input!
Renting the trailers is a great idea. I personally would put much more stock in the experience of towing the trailer than I would in all the "numbers nay sayers" that tell you "oh you must have a bigger TV"
You got the right idea...just go do it.
The airstream is wonderful in my book. But as so many on here made the very good point too...the old wood and tin well constructed trailers such as the Jayco...which has a two year warranty) are reaaly good too.
Have Fun.
