For more than 55 years, Lance Campers has been the leading manufacturer of truck campers. When the company began making Lance travel trailers in 2009, it had already developed a wealth of manufacturing experience and established itself as a world-class camper company. Today’s manufacturing process is worlds apart from the company’s beginnings in 1965, but the focus on detail and workmanship is as strong as it has ever been.
Lance has earned a place among the best-made travel trailers on the market, thanks to many decades of examining, improving, listening to customer suggestions, and using the latest technology to build better, stronger, and more appealing travel trailers.
Computer-Aided Design
Lance travel trailers begin with CAD design. With the unit details saved in a digital format, materials are cut in another computer-controlled device, the CNC cutter. CNC machines are capable of cutting with an accuracy down to the micron level, assuring that each piece is a perfect fit, and guaranteeing that identical parts can be cut over and over again indefinitely. CNC machines also save material by reducing the potential for human error combined with the efficiency of material utilization.
It takes a lot to manufacture some of the best camper trailers in the country. Research and development is an ongoing process, and each new model year unveils features and options that have evolved from customer demands and suggestions. For Lance, the time and effort that goes into every aspect of travel trailer construction is the price you pay to produce the best models for every adventure.
Exceptional Materials
Lance travel trailers may begin with precision design, but they are also assembled using the best materials on the market. The frame is built from welded aluminum for extra strength, fewer fasteners, and extended protection against road vibration and variations in weather. The frame is then topped with top-quality, high-performance materials such as the one-piece TPO nose and roof components. Inside and out, every component– including the interior appliances– is carefully selected for performance, appearance, and longevity.
Today’s materials are stronger and lighter, able to stand up to highway speeds, but capable of going off-grid and back-country whenever you wish. And because Lance has incorporated the most appropriate materials right down to the interior frame and insulation, it is no surprise that Lance campers hold their value extremely well, and even older models are still a common sight on the nation’s byways.
Comfort and Convenience
Five decades of building truck campers is a lot of experience with packing convenience and luxury into compact spaces. For travel trailers, that experience pays off by allowing the use of innovative ideas to maximize the living space. In many ways, a long history of truck camper design and construction became a benefit to travel trailer manufacturing. Travel trailer owners know they will be living in an environment that has been carefully constructed for convenience and luxury.
Another popular aspect of Lance manufacturing is that the company is attuned to customer responses. The idea is to have a constantly improving model lineup that offers the RV lifestyle more possibilities, more comfort, and better performance. “The Lance difference” is the relationship between manufacturing, dealerships, and input directly from owners and buyers. These suggestions are responsible for innovative and eco-friendly processes such as Azdel™ and LanceLock™, the proprietary interlocking material system used to create a stronger travel trailer.
Workmanship
Just as the design and construction are among the best on the market, Lance campers are also the product of meticulous workmanship. The company campus consists of more than 140,000 square feet of state-of-the-art production facilities encompassing more than 20 acres, and employees are trained to use the equipment for optimum productivity and quality assurance.
Dealer Training
To make sure that Lance dealers are intricately knowledgeable about the campers they sell, all Lance dealers undergo product-specific training before being authorized to market Lance campers. This creates an extensive Lance network that spans the U.S. and Canada, assuring buyers that reliable service and information will be available no matter where their journey takes them. For prospective buyers, dealer training translates into more information available on location, including information about the construction process, materials used, and– as would be expected– a wealth of data concerning features and options to customize your camper trailer.
Extended Standard Features
Many of Lance’s most popular optional features are now included as part of the standard design. There are still quite a few options available, including a powerful inverter, but even a standard unit will have a host of great additions that you might not expect to see without paying significantly more.
By noting the most common requests from RV owners, Lance incorporates optional features as standard components. The 2022-2023 model lineup is a great example of that, with more than a dozen optional features now included as part of the standard manufacturing process. Some of the new standard features include:
- Higher Ceilings – Lance has redesigned the interior space of most product models to include in-ceiling ducting that allows ceilings to be higher.
- Euro Windows and Entry – Dual-paned windows are the key aspect of this feature, preserving interior comfort while allowing an excellent view.
- Shower Miser Showerhead – This showerhead is designed to increase water flow by increasing the compression of water through the nozzle, saving water while increasing usefulness.
- Four-Season Comfort Technology – Four-season comfort is achieved through a combination of material and design innovations, including better insulation, euro windows, and more.
Whether your adventures will take you to remote places, popular resorts, or just visiting with distant friends and family, Lance truck campers and travel trailers are built to meet your needs. And buying a Lance camper includes membership in the extensive Lance network, and voice in what features and options will be available to future owners. In many ways, owning a Lance is like joining an exclusive club where all of the members enjoy the RV lifestyle and demand convenience, luxury, and the ability to experience the country during almost any type of weather conditions.
