Today’s RV review is of the 2026 Lance 2075 travel trailer. I’ve looked at this trailer in the past and have been a huge fan of it since I first saw it at an RV show. By coincidence, I got to see it again at the Hershey RV Show and speak with some of Lance’s decision makers about changes to this model.
What you have here is a travel trailer that works well without the complication of a slide room, which just makes me happy. I don’t know if it’s just the people who follow these articles or if there is a greater interest in travel trailers without a slide room, but so many of you have told me that you like RVs without a slide. Me, too.
You might not notice some of the changes to this floor plan unless you put the 2026 and previous models side-by-side, but they have been reconfiguring some features while leaving a lot of the good features alone.
Start at the road with the Lance 2075
Lance is an absolutely premium brand of RV, currently building travel trailers and pickup campers. This trailer has a solid foundation with a torsion axle suspension, Goodyear Endurance tires, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
Lance is one of the better companies when it comes to being winter-ready, with certification as a four-season camper. But that’s not just a sticker and a false promise. Lance really does a legitimately good job with their insulation design.
There are two awnings available on this trailer, with the standard camp-side awning and a second optional awning at the rear. Both of these awnings, should you choose the second one, are legless Girard awnings with wind sensors.
While we’re outside, do note that Lance is using a Truma water heater system that is tankless but also gas-electric. A lot of these tankless water systems are pretty lousy. Truma has their game down pat.
That’s also true of the optional Truma Aventa air conditioner, which is a very efficient unit but is now optional, with the Furrion Chill Cube being the standard unit. I just put a Chill Cube on my own trailer—they’re remarkably efficient and capable units.
Something to note: While many, many travel trailers use what is called insert molding to cover up screws on the outside of their trailer, Lance just builds theirs, not needing this plastic menace. Insert molding is a routine maintenance item and a pain to replace. Lance just makes a better corner.
Steps on RVs
I was recently talking with an RV industry type, and I was complaining about those stupid solid steps that are everywhere. I do not like them. But that exec told me it’s almost impossible to get steps that fold under the trailers anymore. Apparently, Lance didn’t get that memo. They still make proper trailer steps, and these have little feet that drop down to add stability. But they do fold out quickly and easily and don’t dump things into the interior of your trailer like rainwater, mud, and frogs. Yeah, we know someone who dumped a frog inside their trailer. 🐸
Something else I noticed was that the switches for the power stabilizer jacks were located inside the front storage cabinet, which protects those switches. Another nice thing in here was a large metal drawer, because you know you always want whatever’s in the most difficult place to reach in the pass-through, right?
Boondocking and travel access
Needless to write, travel access was first rate in this trailer since there is no slide room to hinder access.
Lance was working with a company to test a prototype solar and lithium package for the 2075 and, presumably, other Lance trailers. This was a high-end system with premium components, including Merlin solar panels. It had no issues running the installed Furrion Chill Cube A/C system. I believe details are still being worked out, but it was impressive to see one of the Merlin panels awaiting installation on the back of the Lance.
What’s inside the Lance 2075
A larger U-shaped dinette is at the back of the interior of the Lance 2075. There are large polycarbonate dual-pane windows surrounding it, which helps it feel more spacious.
Quite honestly, I didn’t think I’d fit in the dinette here. But the table in this trailer slides around like a planchette on an Ouija board, and I had no trouble sharing the space with my dear wifey. I was impressed—this table arrangement is fat dude approved!
There’s also a cabinet on the road side that has provisions for wine bottles. With no slide, this trailer is absolutely great for Harvest Hosts stays and boondocking at places like Cracker Barrel.
Kitchen in the Lance 2075
Apparently, one of the more significant changes to the interior has been to the kitchen. Particular attention is paid to the length of the counter. There’s a round bowl sink in here and a three-burner stove with a proper 21” RV oven. Over that is a convection air fryer microwave, so you are well set for food prep.
Lance has upgraded their fridge to the same dual-swing 12-volt fridge I wrote about in this article. This has been a terrific refrigerator, but note that it’s also much larger than the one previously used in this model. Oh, and it opens from either side, so you could grab a beer from the bedroom. Another nice touch is the backsplash on both the back and side of the stove. So many RV companies miss this little detail.
There is also an outside kitchen option on this trailer. It includes a two-burner propane cooktop and a drawer-style refrigerator, both of which are on a sliding mechanism. Surprisingly, there’s still some space in here for storage.
Another nice thing is that the dual-pane acrylic windows used in this trailer can swing up almost 90°. There’s one above the outside kitchen, so you could legitimately pass things back and forth between the inside kitchen and the outside kitchen. Nice. Burgers up!
Bathroom in the Lance 2075
The bathroom is across the hall from the kitchen in here and features a ceramic toilet and bowl-style sink—bougie! The shower is a rectangular model, but the flexible shower curtain is bowed at the top to offer more space.
The one bummer in this trailer is that there’s only a 4” exhaust fan in the bathroom. That’s not going to accomplish much on taco Tuesday. This is an unfortunate cost-cutting measure in an almost ideal trailer build.
Bedroom in the Lance 2075
A proper queen-sized bed is the center of attention in the sleeping quarters here. The bed is flanked by hanging closets and drawers on either side. Above the bed is a really large polycarbonate dual-pane windshield that can swing up for air flow. There are both bug screens and shades that are built into the frame of this window, as is true of all the windows in here.
I like that Lance includes a rain-sensing, high-performance vent fan in here.
Final thoughts about the Lance 2075
Lance has been part of the REV Group for a number of years and was recently sold to Bill Rex. He has a history in the RV industry, including having founded Rexall Motor Homes. Rex’s take on things is more of a common-sense approach to making things more efficient, but building on Lance’s reputation for quality.
For example, in an interview, Rex was quoted as saying that Lance would cut a piece of plywood in half for some floor plans and just throw the second half away. This is stupid to anyone who has common sense, but, well, it is the RV industry. But these kinds of things are the things the company wants to change to make it less wasteful and more efficient.
Bill Rex is one of the people who really pioneered slide room systems in RVs. (We won’t hold that against him.) But he has a number of other innovations to his credit.
I was surprised to see Starlink included in the example I saw. More and more RV companies are making some provision for things like Starlink. I like that, but I’m not sold on Starlink being standard.
I think the future looks pretty bright for Lance, and I like the changes I see to this floor plan.

RVT1227
I’m not into fart-shaming or criticizing Mexican food, but if you can’t live with a 4″ bathroom fan, you have problems.
A 4″ fan does not remove shower steam/vapor quickly enough. I know because I have had RVs with a 12″ Fantastic bathroom fan vs. our current 4″ bathroom fan. In humid climates, that extra moisture can cause real, not fictional, problems!
The truma gives you a MAX 5 minute hot shower. Hardly enough time to build up enough steam. The fan isn’t the “problem”
Hahahaha fart shaming. 😂 But Steve H is right – the little fans don’t do a good job of exhausting steam from the bathroom.
It is simple to replace the 4″ fan with a 3-spd exhaust/2-spd intake fan in the Lances.
i did it in mine. Not expensive, and much better for keeping odors out of the rest of the trailer.
As for the steps, those are TorkLift Glowstep Revolutions. I have put them on my last 3 trailers, including my current Lance 1995. Love them!
I liked this model also, but the price was always too high. I also prefer no slide.
A great couple’s RV–road access; full-size queen bed; bath separates “bedroom” from “dining room”; great kitchen stove, conv-micro, fridge, counter space; no stupid solid steps next to the kitchen; great solar/AC options; better suspension than Model T-vintage leaf springs; 4-season capable; etc. Shows what a Western RV manufacturer can provide vs. an Indiana RV company! Only problem for me is that neck-chilling front windshield above the bed.
BTW, Tony, Harvest Host/Cracker Barrel is just “dry camping”. “Bundok” is a Filipino Tagalog word for “mountain”, but has been translated as mountain wilderness/jungle. It was picked up by U.S. soldiers as “out in the sticks”, not a Walmart stay!
Well see, I learned something today! Trying to decide between moochdocking, Wallydocking, Boon Barreling, overlanding or just camping camping. All these choices are so intense…but they’re not in tents! Thanks for the back story on Boondocking!!
I thought I was the only one that hated those steps! Stop at a rest area? Hopefully a trucker won’t run into them. Same for parking at the edge of a lot and the stairs hitting a curb.
Does look like a good one-4 season, lots of windows, no slide, wise use of space.
I would like to know who thought that a round sink is useful/practical in an RV. And…a black round one in the bathroom. Obviously never does dishes or cleans the white scum off a black sink.
The claim is round sinks are more efficient, and that makes some sense when you consider most plates, cups, etc are round. Just a more efficient use of space and a water saving feature for those of us that count gallons when not connected.
I’ve been looking for a travel trailer 20-25 ft,, good build quality, has a queen bed oriented north-south, and has decent insulation. I find it interesting there are many that fit these requirements, but have absolutely garbage insulation properities (see InTech, Safari Condo) or are styled like they never left the 80’s (Outdoors RV, Nash) I really like the InTechs, but living in the PACNW I may need to camp in the winter and this Lance just might fit the bill! If there are others I should be looking at, post em’.
We have a Lance we bought new in 2020 and they will fit your needs for cold weather camping. WELL built, solid, comfortable, and with minimal care, will last you many, many years. NOT thrown together with bubble gum and spit like too many other brands. Yes, they are expensive, but you are getting what you pay for with a Lance.
Does this plan have a twin bed option?
Thank you for the review, Tony! These unfailingly educate me on aspects of RVs with which I ususally only have cursory knowledge. Have a great day and safe travels!
