We looked at a retro before buying our Lance.
They have their appeal but not the old time quality.

That is AWESOME, and so cheap too.
It's cheap for a reason.
The lance is almost double the price for a three foot shorter trailer.
Why is it so cheap? Is there something wrong with it? It looks great to me. Has a nice gas stove too. I borrowed my boss's Winnabego (sp?) once, and it had a crappy little electric stove. For $18,000, I would snatch that up if I had $18,000 to spend on a camping trailer!
It's not a four season trailer, small black and grey water storage to go along with small potable water storage. Plus no heat to keep those tanks from freezing which will cause serious and expensive problems.
Very little insulation making keeping them cool or warm difficult and more expensive. The Lance has dual pane windows along with great insulation.Quality of construction and materials is much lower in the cheaper brands.
A good quality RV of the same size cost around 40K to 50K.
Here's a new Lance in the same size.
