Re: New Lance 1172

Issue does not occur while raising TC. Since the TC was under warranty my dealer replaced them no questions asked which tells me that Lance is fully aware of the design flaw issue. Thanks for the heads up! Bud592Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Lance 1172
Just ordered mine at the Seattle RV show on my birthday. Started RVing in 2002 in a new 1161. Went everywhere in that thing. What a sweet machine. Traded it for a 31' FW TH for a few years. Got divorced in 2012 and bought a 2006 1191. Another sweet machine that goes everywhere. But once I saw the 2017 1172s, it was all over. I go pick it up next Thursday at the dealer. Only a couple of things to add: solar panels and vent covers. I think it has everything else. For solar panels, 100 watt panels are the way to go, but how many? Never had them before and would like some feedback from those of you who have experience with them. Technology today is pretty solid, but I'm sure there is still some junk out there. Dealer installation is certainly an option. Thoughts???590Views0likes0Comments
