The brand

Why buyers love Lance Camper

Lance Camper has built recreational vehicles in Lancaster, California since 1965 and is one of the last RV makers still producing on the West Coast rather than in Indiana's RV belt. The lineup is split between two towable specialties: hard-side truck campers that slide into a pickup bed, and ultra-light aluminum-framed travel trailers. Lance built its name on truck campers and still makes some of the best in the business, from the half-ton-friendly 650 up through the double-slide 1172, with the brand's signature standing-height interiors, four-season insulation, and Azdel composite walls. The travel-trailer line runs from the compact single-axle 1475 to the dual-slide 2465, all built on a Huck-bolted lightweight frame with Dexter torsion axles, real residential touches, and genuine cold-weather capability. Owners consistently praise Lance for build quality, towing manners, and four-season performance, and the brand rates above the industry average on RV Insider. The honest caveats: Lance charges a premium over mass-market towables, factory warranty support is the weakest sub-score owners report, and quality control is good but not perfect, with the usual appliance, seal, and slide complaints showing up in a minority of reviews. Below is a current range across both truck campers and travel trailers with real specs, real floor plans, and a candid read on what owners love and what to watch.

Here's the part the lot won't tell you: the best Lance deals are usually two to four years old. Let the first owner eat the steep early depreciation, then buy a RV that's already been shaken down, with the bugs sorted and the records to prove it. That's exactly the kind of unit our RV buyer's agents hunt for, and we run an independent inspection on every one before you wire a dollar. Already own one and ready to move on? We'll list and sell it through our RV broker service for the retail number it's worth — not the wholesale gutting a dealer offers on trade.

What owners love

  • Genuine four-season build. Azdel composite walls, ducted heat, enclosed and heated tanks, and heavy insulation give Lance rigs real cold-weather capability that owners single out from below zero to triple digits.
  • Class-leading truck campers. Lance has built truck campers for decades and still makes some of the most refined hard-side campers available, with standing-height interiors, dry baths, and smart use of every inch.
  • Tows and hauls as expected. Driving/towing is the brand's single highest owner sub-score (4.5), reflecting light, well-balanced trailers and campers that behave on the road.

What to watch

  • You pay a premium. Lance prices above mass-market towables, so a comparable floor plan from a high-volume builder will usually cost less up front — you are paying for the build.
  • Factory warranty is the weak spot. Warranty/support is the lowest owner sub-score (2.8), and a vocal share of owners describe slow or unhelpful post-sale support, so buy through a strong dealer.
  • Quality is good, not flawless. The overall-quality sub-score (3.6) is solid but a minority of owners report appliance failures, seal and slide leaks, and assembly issues, so inspect any used unit carefully.
From real owners

What Lance Camper owners are saying

Across about 193 owner reviews on RV Insider, Lance averages roughly 3.9 out of 5 — above the RV-industry norm. Owners rate driving/towing highest (4.5) and floor plans nearly as high (4.4), with livability strong at 4.2; overall quality is solid at 3.6 and the clear weak spot is factory warranty/support at 2.8. The picture matches what we hear from owners: Lance builds light, well-balanced, genuinely four-season rigs that tow and live well, but it charges a premium and its post-sale warranty support frustrates a meaningful minority. Lance truck campers rate slightly higher than the trailers, averaging about 4.0 over roughly 63 reviews, reflecting the brand's decades of truck-camper expertise. Reviews split sharply between long-term owners who report years of trouble-free use and four-season performance, and a smaller group reporting appliance failures, seal or slide leaks, and slow warranty service. As with any RV, condition and assembly vary unit to unit, so a careful pre-purchase inspection of the roof, seals, slides, and appliances is essential on any used Lance.

Questions

Lance Camper — buyer FAQs

How much does a Lance Travel Trailers & Truck Campers cost?
It spans a wide range. Lightweight Lance truck campers like the 650 and 825 start in the low-to-mid five figures new, single-slide travel trailers like the 1685 and 1985 land in the mid five figures, and the largest dual-slide trailers and double-slide campers like the 2465 and 1172 push into the low-to-mid $60,000s before options. Each model page below lists a typical resale range, and we'll get you an exact number on any specific RV for sale.
Is Lance Camper a good brand?
Genuine four-season build. Azdel composite walls, ducted heat, enclosed and heated tanks, and heavy insulation give Lance rigs real cold-weather capability that owners single out from below zero to triple digits.
Where are Lance Camper RVs built?
In Lancaster, California, where the company has been since 1965. That matters because the factory service center is a big part of why owners stay loyal.
Should I get a used Lance inspected before buying?
Always. A used RV can hide deferred maintenance on the roof, slides, and levelers. Our independent RV inspectors check it before any money moves, and a buyer's agent turns what they find into leverage on price.
