Lance Utility Trailer reviews

Worse trailer I have ever had. Poor quality inside. Rear window rubber seal came off. Locks not strong enough to keep drawers closed during travels. Gas Range burners keep coming apart. Furnace has never worked properly. Leaky water furnace. Radio stopped working, had to be replaced. I bought the trailer brand new, it has been in the shop 4 times now in less than a year. I dont know if other model Lance trailers have had the same problems I have encountered. If you are looking for a travel trailer, I suggest you stay away from this model. Show less

Overall our Lance 1995 is very well constructed. We have experienced a few issues with trim falling off including the baseboard at the bottom of the dinette slide. We had to have a refrigerator replaced due to my leaving the refrigerator door open when I retracted the dinette slide and cracking the interior of the refrigerator. It was difficult to get hold of the factory to schedule replacement of the refrigerator. I didn't trust the dealer to do the job. But once the service was scheduled at the factory they did a good job replacing the refrigerator even fabricating a new trim piece because the refrigerator was a slightly different form factor.

The Lance 1575 is a great example of how you can pack a lot into a smaller space without feeling cramped. The layout is really well thought out, making the most of every bit of room. The slide-out adds a lot of extra space in the living area, which helps keep things from feeling too tight. The dinette easily turns into an extra bed, and the queen-sized bed is comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. There’s plenty of storage tucked away in smart places, so you can keep your gear organized without everything feeling cluttered. The kitchen has all the basics you need to cook, and the bathroom, while compact, is designed well enough to be practical. Overall, this Lance 1575 is a solid choice if you're looking for a smaller trailer that’s easy to tow but still feels roomy inside. It's ideal for couples or small families who want a cozy, well-laid-out travel trailer for their adventures. Show less

We absolutely LOVE the layout of this trailer. The kitchen island is very handy with extra counter space and storage that utilizes space well. The electric fireplace is a really nice feature that actually gives off heat. Towing is made much easier with the included anti-sway bar and hitch. The upgraded bigger tires and heavy duty axles provide extra clearance. Show less

Loved everything about our lance. We spent a lot of time in it and can say the quality is far better than any other trailer we've been in. It's lightweight yet somehow sturdy. So easily towed there were times where we almost forgot it was behind us. If I'm going to be looking for another trailer to buy in the future it will for sure be a Lance. Show less

We purchased the Lance product new in August 2022. Less than 24 months ago. We were sold on the "Lance difference, and better quality". Being our third rv, we went ahead, even though they are more money. MISTAKE. We have had nothing short of issue after issue, some catastrophic, some minor. But they started immediately. The quality and workmanship simply isnt there. Won't bore you with the problems, however they are trip ending issues. As for support from Lance brand, we'll thats still to be determined. Show less

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. Show less

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. Show less

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. Show less
