Lance Widens Field

Lance Camper owners seem to be a fairly happy lot with their rigs. Now the company is looking to move into another segment of the RV market: The company has announced it's moving into the travel trailer arena. According to trade digest, RV Business, the new launch is called the 1880 series of travel trailers.

Entering the 18 to 26 foot marketplace, Lance is taking aim at the new wave of lighter RVs. These new trailers will scale in at less than 3,200 pounds, build from fiberglass based on an aluminum frame. Taking a page out of their camper design notebook, the company is using block foam insulation.

Outside the company touts its "no plastic insert" trim style, giving the rig sleekness; inside one-piece solid wood cabinets are said to be, "easy to replace." How many of us have changed the cabinets in our campers lately, or even wanted to? Entry prices are in the mid $16,000 range.
