The more we watch the more we love your Lance. There are some AC & DC transfer pumps available if your interested, we are thinking about using one to transfer water from our truck to what ever rig we get. Were in design mode for our bunk, so now im gonna make cabinet space for a sound bar...thanks Amazon, Harbor Freight & E trailer are almost all a RV'er needs. Sfae travels
Are ya'll happy with the Lance thus far? My wife and I are considering a 2075, but only recently started researching them. We have been looking at Olivers and Airstreams for a couple of years now. Thanks.
Yes....its been very good. Having travelled in a 35 foot fifth wheel this smaller one does take some getting used to but to be honest the bedroom is very spacious for a 25 foot TT. Olivers are very nice but even smaller I believe...well made though....and Airstreams are iconic of course but they have such little outside storage and have heard they are not insulated very well. and of course are mucho $$$$.
@@N2it4Now ugh, yes we are experiencing a problem with our Amazon store and are working to get it resolved. We will let you know once we do (hoping it’ll be soon)!
Nice video showing the top of your camper for the solar panels! Glad it came with Lithium batteries. Great information about what you did to upgrade. Michelle
Great upgrades! We actually still need to do a couple of these over rhe next year or two. You gave us a few more ideas can't wait to see the Lance in person. As always great video!
Great upgrades. We used computer fan for the back of our fridge and they helped a lot. We still need to get Snap Pads - no idea why we haven’t done that one yet 🤷♀️Safe travels!- Mike and Shelley
Great video! Love your upgrades. That sound bar is cute. I’ve seen a lot people around carrying those sound bars around. They it up to their phones I guess. Never knew you could do that. Ya love that light in your pantry. Glad you put that in it. Great job on the upgrades. Thank you for a great video! Hope you have a great weekend and week!
Pantry lights are nice. I put in a slide out rack system. Its a deep space. And getting to the back is hard. I added a IRVWPC on my water pump it shuts the pump off if I forget. It also makes the pump act more like its on city water. I need to add the fan to my fridge. Next on my list as well as the bugscreens. Very good video. I have many of the items you have as well. I also added bluetooth light controllers to all my lights. They can be turned on and off via a timer from my cellphone. I only have the awning lights to do.
We thought about a slide out rack system...but we thought we would lose space that way...we have pull out bins we just have to move around. The lights make a big difference since it is such a large space. On the fans...you do have to modify the mounting system since the included hardware does not work with the Norcold Vents..I have a video coming out on that soon. I like the Bluetooth light idea...might look into that. Thanks.
@@TheRoadSMITHS Yes. I watch them all the time. I got some good ideas from them as well. My next big project will be replumbing the rear sink for hot and cold. I just recently put a check valve at the hot side of the shower to eliminate cold blast. Had to add a shut off at the bottom of the supply hose as well. Another mod coming up will be replumbing the low point drains. They are a joke.
@@TheRoadSMITHS One thing you might want to check if you have the water miser system. Check to make sure it doesn't go to the fresh water tank. It should recirculate back to the Truma. If you ate at an RV park. You don't want that nasty water going to the fresh tank. I told the rep that it was a bad practice to have the water miser going to the fresh. It should go to the Truma. It's a shorter trip anyway.
I went with a 12 volt water pump as a spare to move water. If you look at all the info for drill mounted pumps they state not for potable water. Many want you to lubricate with oil first. I have seen many Rvs talk about using them but they must not read the information on the pump specifics. Just buy a spare water pump which self primes and is designed for potable water.
We purchased two collapsible 5 gal water containers if we need to add water. We use a long funnel that turns upward to get the water in the fresh water tank. It's not easy holding 40lbs up, but if you work together, it works in a pinch.
Yes I guess that’s an option as well. With the drill pump we can keep the 5 gallon bucket on the ground. It’s says 750gph so that’s 12.5 gallons per minute theoretically. Thanks for watching and commenting.
We are definitely looking at buying this size Lance camper. We currently have a 20' 10-year-old CreekSide. The size and the layout are almost exactly the same as the Lance and this works well for us. Now we want to get something newer with the new features/technology. We have three questions, one inside and two outside. Inside: Is there enough counterspace to prep food while cooking. We typically cook most of our meals and we want to make sure that we have enough counterspace to prep and then clean up after a meal. Outside 1: Our current trailer has one dump connection. The gray water Ts into the black water drain. There are two valves, but you only need to hook the hose up once to drain both tanks. This works very well. First you drain the black tank then the gray tank. The gray water then helps to clean out the drain hose after the black tank is drained. Is there any way to plumb the gray tank drain system into the black tank drain pipe so that you only need to hook up the drain hose one time? Outside 2: Do you use the outdoor kitchen and what do you think about it being located on the back of the camper. We like the concept, but are not sure if it very useful. What is your opinion? Thanks for the informative video. The Lance trailers are not inexpensive and we want to make sure that we order exactly what we want/need.
The kitchen is very tight. We purchased a round cutting board to go over the sink and a rectangle one to go over the cooking area depending on what we are doing. The Dinetee moves in/out, back and forth and swivels so you can get it close to the cooking area if need be. 2 We have used the outdoor kitchen only twice. One of the folk on the Lance 2075 FB page suggested changing out the orifices in that stove to get more propane and we will do that soon as well. On the tank dumping, unfortunately it is separate drains and valves for black and gray. That kinda stinks bet we bought a Y connector. You are right they are not inexpensive. We were fortunate to find a leftover 2022 and its held up well so far Let us know of you have other questions.
Thank you so much. We are having an issue with our Amazon Store right now. They suspended it for an issue with our FB profile but cant tell us exactly what it is...it has not changed in the year we have had a store....very frustrating...we might have to re-apply and rebuild it. Thanks for asking though. .
We have had the F350 since we started RVing with our fifth wheel and now with the TT. More truck than needed is a good thing. What type, how long and what is the GVWR of the rig you are looking at.
Some decent and common sense upgrades. However, your video title is not doing you any favors (unless you are being sponsored by Lance). Perhaps you should keep your videos a little less brand specific to appeal to all trailer owners. Otherwise, great video.
Thanks. Yes I hear what you are saying. We did want to aim this at the Lance community but would think it would also appeal to a wider audience. Just changed the TN and the Title...will see how it does...thanks for watching and commenting.

@@TheRoadSMITHS thank you for taking the time to respond. Safe travels.
Nice job guys. I'm sensing a little pucker time with the cold bidet. haha I'm interested in the review on the Bluetti generator. Rock on Road Smiths!!
Thanks....that review is coming pretty soon!!
@@N2it4Now haha but you’re right about the cold water with the bidet…until you get used to it!
@@TheRoadSMITHS Hey guys, your amazon store link is not working. Let me know when it is. thanks.
@@N2it4Now ugh, yes we are experiencing a problem with our Amazon store and are working to get it resolved. We will let you know once we do (hoping it’ll be soon)!
Just ordered the bidet since we’ll be dry camping up in the mountains next month. Thanks for the reminder.
Haha..awesome....whenever we have a sticks and bricks again we will install Bidets in it as well.
Great stuff! It is nice to have a smaller rig for the choice of many state parks and remote camping. Nicely done.
Haha. It’s been a bit of a challenge going smaller for a bit. But we can get to a a lot of places with it that our 5ver can’t.
Nice video showing the top of your camper for the solar panels! Glad it came with Lithium batteries. Great information about what you did to upgrade. Michelle
Yes that was a welcomed surprise. It. Came with one panel and we had them add another.
Great upgrades! We actually still need to do a couple of these over rhe next year or two. You gave us a few more ideas can't wait to see the Lance in person. As always great video!
That trip is not that far away..looking forward to it. These are some good basic upgrades. Cant do too much...that camper is nit that big. Haha.
Great upgrades. We used computer fan for the back of our fridge and they helped a lot. We still need to get Snap Pads - no idea why we haven’t done that one yet 🤷♀️Safe travels!- Mike and Shelley
The Beech Lane is nice that it can be somewhat programmed for speed and temp. Snap Pads are genius and while being so simple.
Nice upgrades and way to make the small space work for you guys! Never bidet before and we will take your word for it! 😂
Its been challenging, but the nimbleness is awesome!!
Good job and some really cool upgrades! Having a smaller rig would be nice for the national parks.
Thanks...small but effective. Haha!
Great video! Love your upgrades. That sound bar is cute. I’ve seen a lot people around carrying those sound bars around. They it up to their phones I guess. Never knew you could do that. Ya love that light in your pantry.
Glad you put that in it. Great job on the upgrades. Thank you for a great video! Hope you have a great weekend and week!
Thanks Sherri. The sound bar sounds pretty good for the money.
@@TheRoadSMITHS
Thank you for showing it and letting me know. I might one. It’s small and I like small.
Good stuff! Hope all is well with you two!
Thanks guys! Other than dealing with these crazy drivers, all is well with us! Hope travel life is treating you well! Stay safe, friends!!!
Pantry lights are nice. I put in a slide out rack system. Its a deep space. And getting to the back is hard. I added a IRVWPC on my water pump it shuts the pump off if I forget.

consider sealing off the vents on your battery compartment doors since the lithium doesn't need to be vented . Keep the weather and bugs out
That’s a great idea. I have thought about insulating those compartments and will seal those vents. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very good additions and how to do them.
Thanks. Yes we think these upgrades have been helpful.
We love your videos. We have a lance 1985 and love it. How de we get to your Amazon store ? Thank you

What is your Lance trailer and do they have a bunkhouse option? Love the options you put on your Lance.
Thank you. Ours is the 2075. The only one they make without a slide. Yes they have 2 bunkhouse models. The 2185 and the 2445.
@TheRoadSMITHS thank you
Did you upgrade your truck? I’m interested in rv ing but don’t have a truck yet. I’m looking for good advice on 2021-2024 trucks
