I own an ORV and no way is the quality on par with Lance. I've walked around and through many Lance products and while they have some quirky ideas the overall fit and finish is above ORV.
Walk on an ORV roof and it will flex too. 3/8" ply is not that strong.
Lance roofs are now slightly crowned and have no attic where mold can grow. They also use Azdel and are less susceptible to delam and mold in the walls.
Lance uses GY tires but has torsion axles.
They're not apples to apples. ORV is designed for a different clientele.
Off the subject a bit....but Lance does have a nicer fit and finish than and ORV. And Lance's roof instills a lot of confidence walking on it compared to the ORV, though I've had no issues with my roof.....and I think Azdel is the way to go in the future.....having said that I think at the end of 20 years my ORV will still be more solid than my brothers Lance because the ORV frame is quite a bit stronger than the Lances. Just IMHO............
ORV's frame is stronger but Lance is a lighter TT so it doesn't need a thicker stronger frame.
You only need the thicker heavier frame if your trailer is made with heavy components and has a high CCC.
I bet you brothers Lance is still as good as your ORV in 20 years.
If you both do a lot of off road travel then I would think your ORV might fare better.
