Over an hour long.. That’s A LOT of features.. And I’m here for it! Great trailer, the under carriage is the only possible problem in serious off roading scenarios. Could the steps be taken off and reattached later I wonder..

[@icare7151]

Awesome!😎

[@drklu06]

Really nice review, glad you kept in some of the issues (cabinet door not soft closing) as that gives customers the pros and the potential cons/qc issues. Also enjoyed the detail you went into and the 4k resolution is an added bonus. Really nice looking trailers, glad to see more RV dealers carrying them.

Pj, looking great. Nice job

is my dream RV

[@MrLocke-bk3om]

Basically more Chinese manufactured Alibaba trailers rebranded and marked up for the domestic market and sold at a premium. This brand will go the way of OBI and Black Series

And where did the Lance trailers disappear that they are no longer being released. That you are advertising other trailers.
