Hi Ken and Pam! Sorry glad you out a video! I missed you last week. So glad you dud this video on comparing the 2 Rvs. I wanted to know the difference. It’s cute the Lance. I’m sure that with it being small you snuggled close! 😂😂 just kidding. I love those facts it have a kitchen. Very nice for as small as it was. Glad you are going to get another one and keep the Alliance. I love the Alliance. Great video! And I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Tear with your family! 🎄🎁🎅🤶🎆🎊See you in 2025.

Great video guys! You had me thinkin pretty darn hard...lol. So right now we are renovating the Pete. 30 amp service, cook top, cupboards, work station, etc. With the deck on the back we should be able to load smart car, quad & kayaks. It would be micro living, (70 inches deep x 98 inches wide) but we could drop what ever trailer somewhere and for limited time have a " motorhome " per say. Its 33 ft long but that would fit state parks or those much smaller sites....(I was gonna follow your lead) but im pretty sure 1 Rig will do the trick. Merry Christmas & Happy New year...May the good Lord let our paths cross. We'll be watching in 2025 😊😊

Some good information and perspective here! Thanks for sharing. Debi and I talked about having a smaller rig for our Alaska adventure in a couple of years but we decided that our 310 would make the trip fine if we just take our time and be moderately prepared. We also are not full-timing though so if it breaks we have sticks and brick to return to ... at least for now. Take care and enjoy the Holidays! 😀

I agree more length would be nice. We’ve been using our 2075 for 2 years and I’m finding a few feet more would be great. We rarely use our shower because by the time you get the water temp right the hot water was gone. I know we couldn’t live in it full time. Max time in it has been 5 weeks.
