When did Lance start making travel trailers?

I was just curious when Lance started making travel trailers. I knew they have been making campers forever it seems but not travel trailer. I guess I've had my head in the sand far too long. :B

  • After I posted the question I found an article stated that Lance was building and selling travel trailers starting in 2009. I don't know what models they built and sold that year. But because of the RV down turn I would imagine they started out with a few models and built up from there. They do put out a nice TT and are pretty proud of it (price). But you get what you pay for sometimes. :B

  • Lance now makes a really small trailer -- and I hear that Fun Finder no longer does!?! I would bet that the Lance trailers are very high quality, but I have not seen any reviews so far.
  • 2008, with the 2009 being the first model "year" that they started selling.

  • Hasn't been long... about 4 years, IIRC. I own an 04 Lance TC, have used it heavily and been quite pleased with the quality. I have no experience with their TTs, haven't even seen one, nor personally know someone who owns one.
  • I believe they started making TT in 2010. I have a 2014 model for a couple of months now and love it so far. It seems like with each model year they add some improvements. I chose mine based primarily on the floorplan and weight since I wanted to tow an RV with a Nissan Pathfinder with a max towing capacity of 6,000lbs.

    So far it has done a great job and I get relatively good mileage.
