What Goes Into the Innovative Construction of Lance Campers?
Lance campers and travel trailers are built to last. With sturdy aluminum frames, computer-cut panels, and a host of standard interior and exterior features, every model is designed to provide luxurious comfort and functionality. The result is a camper fit for every terrain, and able to heat, cold, and torrential rains, traits that are vital in rugged environments.
Computerized Design
Lance campers and trailers are designed using state-of-the-art modeling technology. Every corner, cut, and bolthole is planned with precision, from the material composition and thickness to the final trim placement. When a new buyer designs their camper using the Lance website, every item is a new piece of data that is directly converted into the camper design. Even the furniture-- one of the last items to be added-- is chosen to conform to Lance's stringent quality controls and placed precisely on the model template for that camper.
CNC Material Cutting
State-of-the-art doesn't end with the computerized design. The finished design template is transferred from the CAD machine to a CNC cutter where the precision engineering is turned into precisely-cut parts that are ready for assembly. Short for "Computer Numerical Control," CNC cutters use digital information to create amazingly accurate cuts. The benefits of CNC cutting include reduced waste material, elimination of human error, and the ability to duplicate a design repeatedly at a high level of accuracy.
Roof
Lance campers are built around a welded aluminum frame and capped with fire-resistant, fade-resistant PVC sheeting. Thanks to CNC cutting, each roof is custom-cut to fit snugly around roof fixtures, allowing the roofing to be applied in a single sheet. This eliminates the potential for leaks, creates better sound dampening, and keeps the camper interior comfortable regardless of the outside conditions.
Front Cap
Similar to the roof material, the nose cap is precision-cut from TPO, the same type of material used in automobile bumpers. This material is able to withstand driving winds, and the sleek outer surface is resistant to stains, cracks, and punctures. The aerodynamic design channels wind over and around the camper, making it more stable and more fuel efficient.
Lance campers are in a class by themselves because they are built using the best materials and technologies available. Innovative design is the first step, but Lance uses proprietary manufacturing processes and a dedication to quality workmanship to guarantee each travel camper will meet or exceed the expectations of the people who own them
