2015 Lance Lance Truck Camper reviews

My wife and myself had bought the Truck Camper one year ago separately and put it together with a lot of investment and extras. We started our fulltime year-long trip heading north all the way to BC and back to AZ. The Camper kept us worm in the winter time and during the summer we hardly used the AC. We preferred to stay dispersed rather than an RV park. We were surprised to see how roomy and cozy was the camper consider it size without heavy slide outs with comfortable wide sleeping area. Parking in public lots, shopping areas was easy to maneuver and would fit regular spots. We kept it light and the truck did extremely well. The truck is a 2012 Ford 250 XLT, crew cab, super duty diesel 6.7 power stroke. The truck is well maintained and carried us with ease. I did have to invest in new shocks, brakes, sway bars and air bags. The sway bar was a very effective in deed. We are now concluded our memorable trip and waiting to sell our TC till next time. .

Best camper ever! The lay out is perfect. It has everything you will ever need to camp or even live in. Everything about this camper is quality. It’s 4 season so it will handle anything and everything you throw at it, and that’s including hot weather. It’s super insulated. We traveled with 3 people and 2 dogs, and it was the best time ever. I’ve seen plenty of other truck campers, but not many are this level of quality and durability. Show less

I owned this model for 4 years and LOVED it. The extra counter opposite of stove is a great coffee bar area. The dry bath is wonderful. I have owned 3 "longbed" Lance campers. I also enjoyed the rear kitchen model. I am looking at 9'6" models now with different truck. I drove 3 states on 4 different trips, multiple short camping weekends, concert, car races, and even a wedding. This sleeps 5 comfortable, 2 adults and 3 smaller children and/or 4 adults. Boondocking and or boating/side-by-side weekends were perfect. Highly recommend a 1 ton srw minimum best would be a 1 ton dually and Air bags. Show less

I bought my 2015 955 truck camper spring of 2017.First problem was basically all door and cabinet slides hinges latches Ect. had to be replaced or repaired to small of screws holding them in place or just not quality for the application. Then the slide out problems started showing up. The Seal on the bottom rolled up into a ball under the pull out slides and jammed the slide half in half out. The remote for the jacks and slide is the worst remote I have ever seen to change the batterie (is a not always available) you must take 4 vary small screws out after two times the screws are striped and will not remove. Now after just 4 years of use ( 6-8 times per year on weekends) the frame around the slide out is cracked. This causes the slide out to drop 4 to 6 inches and jams in the out position. So far I have tried to contact Lance with no return phone call or e-mail. Estimated cost of repair from local repair shop 2 - 5 grand Show less

This is our 4th Lance t.c. The overall quality of Lance truck campers has deteriorated since our first one. After driving it home the first time, we realized the hardware was loose in all cabinets. After tightening the screws we subsequently took it back to the dealer to fix several factory blunders. We then took a 2500 mile trip. Closet doors failed, cabinets would not close, two of the doors fell off as the screws are much too small for the doors' weight. The outdoor shower handle crumbled in my hand and we ultimately had the water heater replaced as there was a faulty weld. At one point I had to take the hardware off the bathroom sliding door as it jammed and could not be open.our second Lance, a 990 took us all the way to Alaska and back without incident. We are selling the Lance as I am tired of making repairs that are a result of poor design and workmanship. Show less

1052 is great, Mon and I are getting older, and I have a very large tool box on the truck that I have to remove and it's a lot of work, getting a small RV, need to stop and open slide to go pee. Show less

TERRIBLE! To many trips to dealer to repair items. Lance's favorite saying is "it was designed that way!!" Problem is their designers have never used one!! Their main focus is on appearance and not function! Problem area's are inside battery box, wardrobes, toilet, ladder, sewer connection,location of fire extinguisher, bumper strips on front of camper, angle trim on bottom of camper, square corner on protrusion on drivers side! The last 3 items damaged my truck when dealer loaded the first time for us. Had to build guides to protect fender wells. Filled front of truck bed to distribute weight evenly across box instead of 2 very small area's. Quality isn't there! Have appointment to have front cap removed and repaired because bottom seam is coming loose. Had to replace and tighten screws that had fallen out of bottom camper into truck bed! The list goes on. Be very careful and look at and test everything! I wouldn't buy another one unless I could supervise the construction!!! We all know that won't happen. We talked to a gentleman who has one of their new trailers with similar problems! Our unit is 5 months old! Show less
