Will A Honda EU2000i Fit?-Big External Cabinet In Lance 825?

[HotelOne]

Hi All;

My Lance 845 was destroyed in a fire caused by a badly installed fridge a dealer put in and now I'm looking at a Lance 825 that's a long way away from me. I have no way to check and the measurements make the fit seem really close. Has anyone here successfully stored a Honda 2000i in the big external cabinet on a Lance 825? The camper in question is a 2016 model. TIA

I use one of these on a front receiver hitch when I need extra storage space. it also lets me run it secured from theft in the sidekick

I think the dealer is looking at the wrong storage bay. Looking at the interior on the Lance web site the same basic layout is seen as my 2007. The generator storage space is below the closet space. In the exterior gallery pictures, the layout is the same. The only major difference was our 1st year 825 has a huge window next to the dinette. Later years they made it smaller to put a storage cabinet up high. I bet when you take delivery you'll see there is room for the honda.

Thanks for doing that for me, but I just found out that there must be a wide variance in cabinet size through the years-the dealer reports that it's only 7" deep on the 2016. Weird, I wonder what they did with all that space? I think I'm going to pull the trigger anyway because the 2016 gray tank holds 24 gallons which is a big plus for me. I have a crew cab so I can put the Honda in there. Added strangeness - the 2015 grey tank is only 11 gallons. Lance is weird. Thanks again for getting the measurements for me!

That's weird, it fit fine in my 2007 845 in the back compartment.

Honda 2000 fits in the upper storage bay. In fact that's what it was designed for.

Yes, that's the one. Thanks for the info! Could I trouble you to measure the L&W of the opening of yours if you have the time? I'd like to compare yours to the 2016 I'm looking at. Thanks loads!
