We love our Lance. We find that the quality is excellent and floor plan for a smaller trailer, with the slide out, is well proportioned and roomy. The appliances, stereo and TV are manufactured by different companies, and not Lance, which are found in most trailers. We were told by the salesman we bought one of the last trailers built by the original Lance company who has since sold.

The kitchen is just the right size. I bake cookies, make pancakes and casseroles. This truck camper offers tons of storage space from front to back, inside and out. It's extremely versatile and perfect for my families needs!

Poor design. Multiple poorly conceived mechanical systems. Heating system cannot keep bedroom warm. Poor placement of vents. Cannot change seat on toilet without removing the toilet. The awning is useless as the pitch is so flat that rain does not run off. Instead the awning collects water and the awning will slump almost to the ground with accumulated water. Simplest repair requires a trip to the repair shop because of inaccessibility of mechanical systems. Disappointing.

Lance 975 I believe this holds true for all campers that have automatic features and are boondocking. The automatic features do not work unless you are plugged in because every one of them will drain your battery. Especially problematic is the automatic battery disconnect. You're much better off with a generator and a charger if the truck batteries go dead. Automatic disconnect engages at 12.8v. In the summertime it is fine. However, in the winter when there is no sun it never reconnects. So if you get up in the morning and drive, the camper batteries never charge because the automatic reconnect will not engage until the 12.8v threshold is reached. This has caused me so many problems trying to figure out why I could not keep a charge in my camper batteries, during low sun. Also the radio stays on all the time so you have to unplug it from the back of the radio because the wiring is connected into other things. The refrigerator automatic will make sure that your battery is run down to 0v if there's no sun even when you're driving. So when all the automatics are disconnected it's fine. I wish there was some way to bypass that automatic disconnect. All of the automatic features are a pain in the winter. It's best to never use any automatic feature.

We bought a 2017 Lance 1575 a year ago based on dealer's recommendation that it is a superior product. We had weight constraints because we would be pulling it with a Toyota Tacoma or Subaru Ascent. It tows like a dream, and has caught the eye of people indicating they'd like to purchase a trailer that can be towed with a mid-size SUV. No issue for us. We've had it out about 40 days in 2023 with only one issue. The 'on demand' water heater only works intermittently resulting in intermittent hot and cold water when taking a shower, not fun. No help from Lance. Spoke with other Lance owners who indicated they gave up and purchased a traditional water heater, which we plan to do as well. The shower has a relatively low ceiling, too short for my 6'2" husband, but except for that, we're very pleased with the layout. Feels high end for a small travel trailer. Fortunately, no major issues thus far requiring support.

Well thought out design with quality components residential hardware, best ever quiet gas/electric furnace/water heater, full 80" Queen bed and very comfortable seating. However very poor build quality and manufacturer support. For instance the sofa was only secured at one end in the slide, a stub wall fell over because the screws had been broken off when screwed into the metal door frame, the movable tables were poorly attached so they tilted and wobbled so had to be remounted, the seal strip joining the two halves of the trailer just fell off, weather strip around the windows comes off in hot weather, dishes fall off of the top shelf because the shelf doesn't reach the cupboard door, the $600 tank cover blew away because the latches are poorly designed. The "European windows" will slam closed in a gust of wind because the arms don't lock. The factory won't sell parts directly, only through dealers.

Years ago I was able to order parts from Lance directly, over the phone. Now 2023, I must rely on interfacing with them through a local RV Dealer. I need some parts that are trailer specific and according to my local dealer, Lance is non-responsive. I am very disappointed with my effort to get these parts going on three months now. What is happening to Lance. I thought they were reputable.

We bought this trailer "new" even through it's a 2022 from a dealer a few months ago. While we love a lot about it from an esthetic and layout viewpoint, the overall build quality has been nothing but disappointing. There a many issues that began from the start and they keep coming. 1. The door is very difficult to open and close and doesn't seal properly. Light can be seen coming in through the bottom. Despite constant adjustments to the latch, it doesn't seem to help at all. I seems as if the door isn't hung properly or is warped. 2. We just had a major flooding issue when water leaked through the closet side wall of the bathroom when attempting to connect a hose to the outside connection. We had to open the back panel in the rear storage area to find the internal collar that's supposed to seal everything had completely come off. There was nothing to hold it in place when an outside hose is disconnected; not even plumber's thread tape. Apparently the last time we unscrewed a hose, the inside collar seal unscrewed with it. Unacceptable! 3. The bathroom sink is plumbed to the black tank, not the gray tank. This poses several problems. The most serious being the camper fills with methane gas whenever the sink is open and could potentially result in an explosion, not to mention the entire trailer smelling like a sewer. It also means the black tank will fill that much quicker when boondocking than it would it the sink was plumbed into the gray tank. Also, there is no "J" or "P" trap to keep a layer of water that would seal off this potentially dangerous gas from filling the camper. 4. We also recently discovered that there is no power to the roof antenna. 5. The outside shower doesn't work at all. The TV doesn't connect to the soundbar. It won't even work when connected with external HDMI cables. The primary point of the soundbar is to enhance the quality of the TV's audio and the dealer's service department says they don't think they're supposed to be connected. The soundbar works for radio, but not TV event though it has a direct HDMI input in the front. We've tried 3 cables and nothing. 6. Trim over the dining table is bowed and there is a long strip of glue that was applied directly below the trim strip. 7. The clear coating on the overhead kitchen cabinets is delaminating. 8. There was no snaps or vent cover on the vent over the main sleeping area; just where you want one most. There is on the other 3 vent openings. The dealer said that this didn't have one. Why would you have one for 3 vent openings and not the one that pours sunlight in on you while sleeping at the crack of dawn? Also there are 4 small holes in the trim that look like the snap attachments should have gone there and it looks like they just forgot this detail in construction and missed it upon inspection, if they even do that before shipping to the dealer. 9. Several of the window shade won't stay up; a major adjust or replacement is needed. On top of all these issues, we've had to make minor repairs and adjustments on our own. As previous travel trailer owners, we are not rookies and this is to be expected as time goes on, but not when it's new. Lance has a reputation for being a higher quality build than other travel trailer brands. Based on our experience so far, it is not deserved. It's a lot of money to spend on a travel trailer and we're worried we bought a lemon!

Made an appointment for June 4th at our local RV service facility. It’s now August 28th. Trailer is not fixed yet and Lance doesn’t know when the parts will arrive or answer their phones or emails. Pretty horrible customer service. Will never buy another product from this manufacturer again. Stay away
