Newbie considering used Lance 1181 purchace
Hello! My wife and I are considering the purchase of a used '07 Lance 1181 and are wondering if there are any problems we should be asking about and looking for that may be inherent with this model. ...
Forum Discussion
Thanks again for all the feedback, Folks!
Rec'd a call yesterday the unit we ere seriously considering has been taken off the market and returned to storage, the owners having returned south to their home. ( I thought, OK, but return to TX in the middle of the summer???!!)
Suppose we drug our feet a little to long, but that one was only the 3rd unit we had really looked at.
Looked an 1181 near St. Louis on Sunday and viewed 2 others today on our way to a car show in PA.
One, 1 2005 1191, one owner ready to rock 'n' roll w/110 hrs on the gen-set and the other, another 1181, 2007 model. The '07 had no Gen-set so that killed the deal for us, but the 1191 looks doable and I really like the side door, would make getting in and out a breeze with a trailer hooked to it. Unit comes w/all the equipment needed except for the frame tie down brackets which I would have to buy anyway, regardless to fit my Ram. Looks like we would have to give up a little counter space in the bath and no pull out pantry (that the wife really likes) in the galley. She will have to make the decision there I guess!
Anyway, We are still looking and may try to see a Fox 1050 near Harrisburg on Monday if I can contact the owner.
Thanks again Folks
