Lance Camper Manufacturing is recalling 1,164 model year 2018 travel trailers, models 1985, 1995, 2185, 2155, 2295, and 2375. The battery on the vehicles may move within its compartment while the vehicle is in motion, causing the door to open and allowing the battery to fall out.
If the battery falls out of the compartment with the trailer being towed, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.
Lance will notify owners, and dealers will install a retrofit strap kit free of charge to keep the battery from moving. The recall is expected to begin February 15, 2018. Owners may contact Lance customer service at 1-661-949-3322.
Whats Up with all the sloppy workmanship.
Seems like people don’t care what their doing.
The Heating system in our Holiday Rambler, they put in a 2″ duct in the bedroom instead of the 4″ it’s supposed to get. on cold days it’s chilly back their.
They forgot to seal the dash between the dash and the bulkhead making it a Hurricane of air coming in under the dash.
Try driving in 7 deg. weather and staying warm, ( was taking it home from the Dealer). I had heat! But the air coming in was so cold you had to put a blanket on to drive.
the Vacuum flush toilet a joke, noisey, ( i yell ” fire in the hole” when flushing.) i see a plumbing problem coming.
No Quality control. Just slap them together and get them out.
I have 12 items on my honey do list i’ll do myself.
This will be our last.
My wife and I have been seriously looking at the Lance trailer line thinking they are not the junk of other manufactures but this is a common sense issue and a MAJOR OVERSIGHT from a quality company ..now we must reconsider once again..It seems even the quality leaders are following the junkers..Now totally confused..maybe be an older trailer and spend the money to update and then no surprises..
Bob, I am a strong believer in buying a used unit. The big depreciation is over and if you are careful about inspecting the used unit, you’ll get something with the bugs already worked out.
Bob, before I bought our Lance 2185 I looked at so many trailers. Lance I feel is the best out there. With all equipment, after being manufactured you always find something needs tweaking or changing. Oversight maybe, but Lance will step up and fix the problem.
Thats it, this is my last RV.
Our 2018 -1985 came with strapped down 6v batteries. Straps need to be released before the battery tray slides out.
Unbelieveable! Lance wouldn’t put In a hold-down restraining strap for a sliding, 30+ lb battery? Sounds like the old adage, “Never enough time to do the job right to begin with, but always enough time to do the job over.”
