Here is a picture of my "plain wrap" beauty!



I've always disliked the "cookie cutter" aspect to those swoosh RV graphics. Plus, they all eventually age crack peel and fade.

that looks really nice WoodGlue ! They build nice trailers for sure. I kind of went the opposite direction on my camper... I took the "funfinder x" decals off, and left the swoosh graphics on.

EDIT: and I agree with the idea of buying a smaller trailer, if that is what fits your needs. I too chose a smaller ( 19' ) trailer, with plenty of ground clearance because I sometimes like to go down rather unimproved roads to get a little more remote. Since I travel with just my dog, I don't need a lot of room inside, and in fact have modified my trailer inside to where it basically "sleeps one". I took the fold down bunk bed out, and have fixed the dinette in a essentially permanent "up" position. I really enjoy the way I have set it up, and can easily and happily spend days at a time inside if caught in bad weather.

I don't understand what you mean? This trailer is just for me. It can sleep up to 4 adults and prolly 3 kids (2 in the bunk and 1 on the floor) but really, it's just for my use. I really like the layout and having the bed on 3 sides of the wall, and there is awesome storage capabilities on this model (1685)

Just because someone can afford something larger, doesn't mean that they should or have to. I love cozy over roomy any day of the week, and twice on Sunday!

Fair enough. I really dig the no graphics look.

Nice trailer. Lance builds excellent products. I like the fact there are no graphics. All they do in time is dull and peel.

Thanks!

Nope! Lance doesn't charge for special orders like this so that's good!

I also had them put the electric stabilizer jack control cluster in a special spot and they didn't charge me for that either.

I love my Lance!

Why is the dinette raised up so high?


It's a fairly low riding trailer. I think that's to allow space for the wheel well on the left side.

Did you have an older Lance 1685 and replace it with a 2014?

Yes, I sold my 2013 to some friends. I got the 2014 because it has the 2 year warranty and a bit more powerful solar system, plus some building differences that were a plus!
