2018 Lance 1985 | Travel Trailer | Roadster - RV Review

[@hayesman76]

I'd feel very good about buying an RV from Ian Baker. He really does an excellent job educating the consumer about the products his company offers.

[@hayesman76]

That new-style tongue jack ... wow. That's why Lance is one of the best and on the cutting-edge.

[@robin6564]

I make sure to watch all Ian Baker’s reviews. I have learned so much from him. He is a true professional. Just would love to know what he personally recommends for all RV’s.

[@Cybrgost10]

Great presentation Ian. I have 2 questions. 1) Are the bathroom and kitchen accessible with the slide in? 2) Will my Pathfinder with 6000# towing capacity be a problem? I think I may be maxing out.

[@sherriweber7105]

HI Ian! Great job once again on showing another Lance. I love Lance travel trailers and the way they are deigned. The floor plans are great! My hats off to Lance. Glad this was shown from my home state Michigan. Yes to Michigan!! I love the big Ushape dinette. Thank you Ian for showing this Lance. Great job! Hope you had a great 4th of July! 🇺🇸

[@mmiadragonz]

Great space. Amazing bathroom. This is my favorite

[@hayesman76]

Not sure if I’m imagining things but this Lance model seems to have a wider-than-usual door. Americans are well-known to be, er, “larger” nowadays and to me that wider entrance is a HUGE (no pun intended) advantage. I wish all manufacturers followed suit.

[@hayesman76]

Totally like the Roadster theme best of all.

[@mikellongo297]

can you show trailer with slides in to see if you can get things when closed?

[@21fnasser]

Yeah... Maybe he'll make a new video again just for YOU

[@health101DOTorg]

When the slide is "in" can you access the bathroom? Since the door opens out, it looks like you'd have a difficult time getting in the bathroom if the slide is in.

[@cstephens6793]

Easy, just use the bedroom door if need be

[@deannajohnson6791]

Ian, I follow all of your reviews, but...please show trailer or any thing that has slides in the closed position first. I need to know if the bathroom and refrigerator is accessible with the slide in. And there is no dedicated pantry in this unit. Love your work. Thanks.

[@TheSeanBampton]

"The table here is fairly sturdy" *wobble wobble*

[@hayesman76]

Always a great, very informative and professional presentation by Ian.

[@campingworld]

Thank you very much, I appreciate the praise!

[@YoungGun821]

dang, you put tons of effort into this video. hopefully my 2010 ford explorer could pull this alright. (one day soon!)

[@FadedLotus78]

Found the trailer we want, thank you for the video!

[@maryfrederickson9400]

No one carries those little propane tanks. I would switch back to two 20 or 30 lb tanks! Dealbreaker for boon docking in cooler weather. Thought they say this is 4 season. Need propane for this.

[@conniewaite1371]

You were so informative, did you say what it weighed? How much water does it hold? Its awesome! Great video

[@rosebonner7091]

Curious how the windows open. They seem like one unit. Are there screens?

[@campingworld]

Thanks for the question! The windows on this Lance are tilt open frame-less windows, similar to what you will find on high-end 5th wheels, and yes, they do have screens. The benefit of this is that they look, in my opinion, much better than slider windows, and you can open them while its raining.

[@conniewaite1371]

What does it weigh?

[@cstephens6793]

Less than 5k lbs. empty

[@markgrillo180]

I watch these presentations all the time. Getting ready to retire... I like this guy. The Lance does seem to be higher quality and a little more quality. Is it higher priced ? Anyone own one ?

[@popsicle33]

They are higher priced. But good quality

[@hav1byte]

Lol, such a pretty picture- but typical sales bs! Why not mention all the issues with these trailers and what lance is doing to fix them -

[@barrybluth4351]

Beautiful rig with many upgrades standard. Disappointing they still use steel stairs and not aluminum, or even the Morryde type.

[@GeorgeSipe]

They offer GlowStep Revolution aluminum as an option (they are premium stairs). www.torklift.com/newsroom/890-glowstep-revolution-trailer-steps-available-for-lance-trailers

[@drummergirl9481]

Do you have the measurements of the shower in this model? IT doesn't say on the Lance website. Also, can you tell me what the All Weather (4 season package) consists of with Lance? Are all 1985's with murphy beds? Thank you!

[@maticuno]

Not all 1985's have the Murphy bed. My parents have one that is just a solid queen.

[@drummergirl9481]

Good to know, thanks!

[@bmwbaker]

maticuno yes Murphy is an option like so many other things on this unit.

[@bruce6444]

Hi. Where is the storage for the waste hose?

[@rexdmatthews]

Inside the rear bumper, which is pretty standard for travel trailers of this size.

[@charlesclintsman442]

How much $

[@campingworld]

Please click the link in the caption to view available inventory and for additional information, such as pricing.

[@mmabagain]

The 2020 model of this Lance TT runs $40K and up.

[@zedhead2864]

umm... if you regularly pay retail for any big ticket item. I've got a bridge I'd like you to look at. If you can't find a deal for a RV 10-15% under retail, you're doing it wrong.

[@TheTravelVlogger]

Awesome

[@arkhaiasmr8568]

The presenter is very handsome

[@geopro0780]

Good review. Reviewer needs to do two things to be perfect. 1) Never say the word "nice" ever again. Your usage is very repetitive and gets annoying quickly. Let the watcher decide what's nice for themselves. and 2) Practice just "talking" to your viewer, your tone while clear and concise is very much a "Selling" voice. Pretend your talking to a friend and just showing them the features, not trying to sell them on WHY they should buy a Lance. Your agenda is obvious. Make it less so. Other than those suggestions, nice presentation.

[@campingworld]

George, thank you very much for the honest feedback. I completely agree with you on the usage of "nice". I call it a crutch term or phrase. I've had several over the course of doing videos the last few years and am trying to break the use of them. As for the voice, I'll work on making it more natural. Thanks for viewing and for taking the time to comment. Have a great week! -Ian Baker

[@Berrypancakes229]

George P. I didn’t notice it. He did a good job.😊👍 I don’t knit pick on everything.

[@christineboydstrongtower]

The table has two major flaws. Not wide or long enough to sit and eat ! And it surely doesn’t seam to be sturdy, sooo important. Respectfully

[@jeepman4346]

$47,000!!!!!!! Are you kidding me??????

[@maticuno]

That's just the MSRP. My parents picked one up a year ago for under $30k out the door.

[@highglo1772]

maticuno can I ask from what dealer your parents bought the Lance 1985? Thx

[@Berrypancakes229]

I thought the same thing at first. I did a research on how their build. And I looked at one in person. Wow! I was impressed. When they claim and show you on KZbin about lance trailer. They are right on. Well we bought one. 2375. And it is solid inside and out. The way it’s constructed inside. I compared it to the Winnebago travel trailer. Lance is far well built then Winnebago. Or coachmen or Jayco. It justifies the price. You don’t pay the MSRP price. We got our 2375 at 41,000 before TTL.

[@bmwbaker]

maticuno they didn’t pick up a new 2019 model 1985 for 30k otd.

[@bmwbaker]

Diana these are the 5 gallon tanks that every hardware and hike center carries. Usually $20 to exchange

[@franceselainethurston1606]

You have plastic draws because they are cheap and you make more money by putting cheap stuff in. Most people line their draws then the liners are changed when dirty. Don't bullshit the customers.
