Over the years as a Lifetime Member I have more than gotten my moneys worth. The technical support from fellow members alone is worth the price of admission.

A Lifetime Membership with LOA is the best Bang for your Buck!!! The Information Highway has no end.
We have met such great people and they are always willing to help with anything we throw out there.
We highly recommend you join us and enjoy all the benefits this Membership offers.

I have been a Lifetime Member since 2010. It is the best Lance or RV accessory I have ever purchased. The advice, assistance, and friendship are worth so much more than the cost.
Larry (aka Nutman) –
I visited this site while researching a Lance TC as a potential new purchase. I was impressed with what I discovered was a great forum, so I purchased a Lifetime Membership to get full access to the entire site. What I found was a wealth of info from other Lance owners that led me to purchase my first Lance TC. The advantages of Lifetime Membership abound……., from making new friends, attending rallys, getting ideas for modifications, help tackling technical issues, and getting discounts on products from sponsoring vendors. Lifetime Membership is a nobrainer.

I purchased my Lance Trailer (first RV) in 2015 and joined LOA to learn what the heck I’m doing with m trailer. I quickly found an incredible wealth of knowledge and information amount the past posts and the other members. I joined the lifetime membership and expanded my access to everything else. It was the best money I’ve spent on my RV without exception. I highly recommend it.

We’ve owned RVs for decades and discovered LOA during its infancy in the early 2000’s. We immediately joined as a Lifetime Member. Other LOA Lifetime Members have now become like family to us after meeting them both on the forums and in person at rallies and campouts. We enjoy hearing from them or just keeping up with their lives through visits to the forum for RV related information, entertainment and following discussions of topics of mutual interest posted by many.
Merely as an information source, because Lifetime Members can search the entire forum for every topic imaginable, if one is just ‘wondering about a question’, the search feature will reveal that the question has probably been asked and answered numerous times by experts in that field. The level of expertise members possess in electricity, electronics, construction, automotive, tires/suspension, appliances, housewares/cooking/dining, travel tips, camping tips, pets, and MODIFICATIONS (aka Mods) to our vehicles, campers and equipment, is unbelievable.
Anyone interested in RVing should join the LOA FAMILY as a Lifetime Member and will find themselves both acquiring a whole new set of friends with similar interests, as well as being invited to join other members at rallies and campouts, coast to coast, in the most scenic and interesting places. Join today! You won’t be disappointed.

Whether sharing stories or researching an issue, the LOA Lifetime Membership has been worth every penny! This is my go-to site for just about everything I do with my Lance truck camper.
Nancy –
We enjoy checking out the daily posts and knowing that expertise among members is invaluable. Posts about trips and specific campgrounds are also helpful.

We were one of those naive consumers that had no idea of what we were doing when we bought our first Lance. It was used, it was light and it had a slide-those were my requirements. The dealer told us about Lance forum and that it was a good support system. In my experience it is a “must have”- the people on LOA were so helpful and welcoming. I asked silly things like what should I have in our trailer for everything from tanks, chemicals, how to wash it, what does 12 volt mean, what is dry camping. You name it, I knew nothing and never did receive any comment that my questions were too ridiculous. In the 7 years we’ve had our membership we have made friends from around the US, received recommendations on places to stay, how to fix a leak, etc. The humor and good nature of everyone is priceless. It’s the best money we’ve spent getting the lifetime membership not knowing this was what was waiting for me.
Ray Cutuli –
I joined in 2016 after purchasing a Lance model 1995. The other reviews are right on point. We have used the forum for maintenance help (water pump) and modification ideas (closet mod.) come to mind. Oh and don’t forget the extensive predelivery checklist.
The people are great and the humor is uplifting. If you check out other forums you will see the difference the Lance community offers. You will not be disappointed.

My lifetime LOA membership was a great investment in skills, knowledge and affiliation with a great crew of Lance owners.
Rich Conley –
A tank of gas cost $70 to $100 and lasts for a day. A LOA membership cost $35. and lasts a lifetime.
Which is the better deal? The “fixes” in the LOA membership modification area alone is worth the price.
Randy and Vivian Spiker aka, R&V Spiker –
I joined LOA on July 12, 2013 and immediately saw the value in getting a Lifetime membership and became a member at the same time I joined. The lifetime membership has proven to be worth a million times its cost. I came to this sight relatively uninformed as to the many aspects of trailering right down to hitches and weight distribution. LOA Lifetime really helped me garner the knowledge necessary for safe and pleasant towing. When it came time to look into solar, the Solar forum was a godsend. I really didn’t need to do any research outside of what was available right here on the forum and have since installed a pretty nice system. The modification forum has also proven to be a great resource for finding ways to improve our Lance. Thanks to the LOA Lifetime membership, I now feel pretty confident that if anything comes up that is new to me, I need look no further. This forum has it all and the best parts lie behind the curtain which is lifted with a Lifetime membership.
Ann –
I’ve been a lifetime member since around 2013. The lifetime membership is definitely worth the cost, I have learned so much about RVing through the wealth of knowledge. Not to mention the huge family I have gained from this group of good people. Even though I switched to a class C, they still welcome me with open arms.
Kevin Bell –
Lifetime membership is invaluable, because you get so much information on so many topics. Rallies, destinations, route recommendations, maintenance, etc. – whatever you need for RVing. It seems like what ever issue or question you have, someone else in the group has “been there” and has a solution. Not only that, it’s a great place to socialize. You will be so glad you joined…
Ryan aka The ZAR –
I’ve been a lifetime member and a Lance camper owner since 2012. I’m glad to be part of this forum especially when we were newbies. My wife and I have learned so much from the forums and have met alot of great people at the many Lance rallies held throughout the years.
Rick H. –
Recent new Lance 835 owner and joined LOA for the wealth of information on tips, tricks and general information on the truck campers. I am very impressed with the information available and all the great folks willing to help out. Thanks Lance Owners of America!! AAAAA+++++
Apachewolf –
Joined LOA years ago. I always had a great time reading post and posting myself. Unfortunately I got another brand of trailer because LANCE did not have what we needed. But I always think back to my days with this forum as extremely enjoyable. My membership has been well worth the money.
Paul Brunelle (verified owner) –
Lifetime membership has really been helpful since I recently purchased a 2021 2375
Clever Ploy (verified owner) –
Lifetime membership access has unlocked dozens of useful tips, fixes, mods, solutions, ideas, etc. It easily paid for itself in just the first few weeks by helping me save money and repair several items easily myself. It’s one of the best investments I have ever seen in the world of RV/truck camping.
Bill Crook (verified owner) –
We’ve been tent campers for the last 40+ years and finally decided to purchase a truck camper in early 2019. I didn’t know anything at all about truck campers at the time and found the LOA forum while searching the internet for information, so I joined the forum and became a lifetime member to gain access to all the information that I could get.
I’ve managed to learn quite a lot about the basics of truck camping, ideas for shelving and drawer mods to better utilize space, inverter/generators, battery monitor installations, and solar panel and charge controller installations from many great posts on the forum since then, so becoming a lifetime member was well worth the money.
Anthony Martin (verified owner) –
The value was clear even before we purchased our travel trailer. While we did end up purchasing a LANCE, I became a lifetime member knowing there was a possibility I might not purchase one. An excellent community passionate about helping others, camping, and LANCE products.
Jon (verified owner) –
We became a Lifetime member of the LOA blog as we were considering buying a Lance. After reviewing some of the threads, I posted some requests for input, asking for opinions on preference of the 1995 versus the 1985, which options to consider, and whether and how to add solar. The responses were timely, specific and on the mark. We ended up ordering (and are currently anxiously awaiting) our 2021 1985. This site has been a great resource and sounding board.
Gray –
I joined in 2013 mostly to meet other members while on the road. What being a Lifetime member has become for me is #1 making a few very close friends, almost like family, like Ann mentioned above. #2 is getting help while on the road. Usually my “sales” talk is, briefly, where would you get help on a holiday weekend when most dealers are closed or closes at 6 pm. The forum is open 24/7 + holidays and also have the ability to contact Lance for questions.
I must say that the Lifetime membership ranks way above all the camping memberships that I belong too.
Tommy Bonner (verified owner) –
As a new TT owner the LOA has been a rich resource for advice and guidance from experienced owners willing to take the time to share their knowledge. In the past two months I have gotten helpful advice on adjusting my WDH, which grill works best with the propane connection, propane monitor, setting up TPMS, and the LevelPro. Best $$$ spent RVing so far. Thanks LOA members!
Mike Nutley aka Bigboom338 (verified owner) –
Best $35 I have ever spent. The laughs, discussion and knowledge here are awesome. I really like the tone here as to other sites that I have been to, people here are very cordial no bickering or uncomfortable topics (politics). I cant wait to start meeting some of you in person.
Randy (verified owner) –
Thanks to the LOA family of contributors, and thanks to the access provided by being a life time member, we have saved a lot of money before we even own a Lance camper product! Putting the LOA sticker on the trailer will be the modification that I make, after picking it up in a few days. We have saved way more than the $35 membership cost. Plus, it just makes sense to contribute to this dedicated web form that is run very well. For example, there are no advertisements popping up or videos automatically starting to play, as you scroll through posts. And, no advertisements generated by google or some other platform. The website and forums work great. I really cannot think of a reason not to join.
Randy S Greenberg (verified owner) –
I strongly agree with all the 5 star reviews here – LOA Lifetime Membership has been well-worth the investment. If you own a Lance, there’s no question in my mind that will you find value here.
Tom (verified owner) –
It’s a great forum to share experiences as well as ask questions to other Lance owners seeking their knowledge and experience, in both owning a Lance and maintaining it (not to mention fixing any issues). My only suggestion to make this a “grand slam” site would be if there was an option to include a Lance Rep for certain type of RV functions/features. Although I have a feeling you may get some push back from Lance as to this request. Not sure if they would want to use one of their resources to monitor and provide accurate information (when needed).
What makes this site so valuable is the knowledge and first hand experience of the members who reply to questions. Well worth the “price of admission.” 🙂
Mister E (verified owner) –
Outstanding Forum – The members know Lance trailers from hitch to bumper and are incredibly responsive. I almost always find results when searching for topics and quickly get responses when I post new ones. The lifetime membership is well worth the cost.
Dan Adams (verified owner) –
The Lance Owners forum is an incredibly helpful resource… every time I am in need of help or information about my 1575, my first stop is the Forum. I regularly use the search function and find tons of materials and suggestions. Many times I read ongoing observations about other trailer models and the experiences of members that have guided me on the “do and don’t” of traveling with my own RV. I’ve replicated or adapted a number of modifications to my own travel trailer. It’s a great site and the lifetime membership rates a five star!
Dan Reagan (verified owner) –
Membership has been a valuable resource; even as I wait for my trailer I’m getting a lot of great advice about what to expect. Some of my favorite topics are the mods others have done to their trailer that gives me inspiration, as well as help when I rented a Lance and didn’t know how to operate some of its features. The community is some of the most positive people I’ve found in a user forum like this and that alone is worth the price of membership.
Dave Johnson (verified owner) –
A newbie life time member ,so much good info every where l look on the website . Joined when I got my new Lance 1995 a new trailer takes a lot of personalization to get it the way you want it. The ideas and tips on this site are worth much much more then it’s cost.
I’ve had several trailers over the last 40 years been fixin on them from the start ,but the last one new in 2014 was falling apart faster then I could fix it finally gave up and bought the Lance it has a lot better build quality hoping to be able down the road with all the parts staying together got 2000 miles and no loose screws or missing parts.
The forums are a great place to find the potential problem areas and fix them before they cause problems.
Thanks for this great resource

It serves a purpose, to be informed and to learn about the Lance product and service.
Peter Kappelhof (verified owner) –
My wife and I have only owned our Lance 1995 for three or four months but I can honestly say that one of the best expenditures we’ve made since owning our Lance is the $35 we spent for our Lifetime Membership with Lance Owners of America. The wealth of information, tips, and mod suggestions has been extremely valuable towards our enjoyment of our trailer. Even that we have not yet met any of the members in LOA I feel like I belong to a great community of people eager to help one another enjoy their Lance campers and trailers.

When we were looking to replace our 21′ Clipper Cadet with something a bit bigger that could also carry our recumbent trikes we stumbled upon a pre-owned Lance 2612 Toy Hauler. Even after looking at a few other TT’s and TH’s we kept coming back to the Lance. A bit of research uncovered this LOA website and the loads of information it contained, with the existance of even more information and perks when you become a lifetime member. Once we pulled the trigger on the 2612TH we immediately joined LOA as lifetime members (the 2612 already had the decal on the ramp) and have not regretted a single moment. Everyone here is super friendly and full of information they are ready to dispense (and help fellow LOA members spend money). Although Lance no longer makes toy haulers like the 2612, there are enough commonalities between owners of TH’s TT’s and TC’s that we can all still enjoy the benefits of the Lance brand and the members of the LOA.

LOA Lifetime Membership has been the best investment I have made in the purchase of my new Lance 1985. The combined knowledge, humor, and quick results have been much more than the small initial investment of $35. The forum alone has saved me money and heartache in dealing with issues, new purchases, etc. Join up today!
henrypretz (verified owner) –
If you own or are considering acquiring any Lance product, an LOA life membership is the best first move that you can make. While researching and shopping for our Lance, I referred to the LOA forum for the literally dozens of questions that I had. Members are anxious to share their knowledge and do so in a respectful manner.
Dave Risendal (verified owner) –
After 25 years of sliding a Lance camper into the back of my pickup truck, I was very familiar with the high quality of this product. But our family’s decision to transition from a truck camper to a travel trailer raised dozens of new questions. Is my SUV capable of safely towing a Lance 1995? What do I need to know about purchasing a used trailer? Why should I consider upgrading my hitch system? How much gear can I load into my trailer? Why won’t my oven light? What a gift to discover LOA — an affiliation of Lance owners who are experienced, helpful, quick to respond, and so patient and generous with those of us who are newbies to the game. And the additional resources available with a lifetime membership are worth far more than the measly $35 it costs to get in the door. It has helped us immeasurably, and I look forward to the day when I can offer some advice and encouragement to someone just getting started.
Bob McBratney (verified owner) –
Value, value, value! The least expensive lifetime membership I’ve ever come across. Whoever invented it was a genius. Lance owners have been welcoming, friendly, responsive, helpful and a pleasure to converse with. The trailer itself will always be a subject of how to improve it. But for the most part it works well, was well designed, and pretty well put together. One has to remember that bouncing down the road, like hitting a severe updraft, can loosen and mixes things up. Let’s go have fun!

I am new to RVing, new to Lance, and the LOA Has been instrumental in providing Support and technical informotion. I highly recommend all Lance owners join.
Tony Jeong (verified owner) –
It’s been an honor and pleasure to be a member of LOA lifetime membership. I have asked many questions and answers were almost immediate. The answers were really useful and helpful. The members answering my questions were nice, kind, professional and thoughtful. I am proud of being part of LOA lifetime membership. Some day I would be a nice and kind advisor like LOA veteran advisors. I would tell my LOK members to join LOA lifetime membership. Thank you LOA lifetime members.

I became a Lifetime Member with LOA this past winter BEFORE owning a Lance! In fact, I hadn’t even ordered one yet. My wife and I were spending our first retired winter camping in Alabama for three months in our 2020 Flagstaff 25BDS Microlite. We had wanted to upgrade, so we attended the RV Supershow in Tampa. I had my heart set on a Lance TC, but my wife is claustrophobic and even the triple slide out was still too small… after 44 yrs of marriage, my heart remains hers.
Since the Lance TC forums convinced me initially because of how well they’re made, a Lance TT was the next most logical option to consider. I took a deep dive into more LOA forums, and after much discussion with my wife, we decided on a MN 2375 TT. Once that decision was made, becoming a Lifetime Member was a No Brainer. I have been consulting the Forums at each step of the process… placed our order while still in Alabama in March, returned to Ohio in April and sold our Flagstaff Microlite, and will be picking up our new 2023 MN 2375 next Friday, June 2nd!
LOA had also informed me that Lance had available a PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection) form, and it’s relevance prior to making final payment. But after printing an 18 page PDI form, I decided that I didn’t have the patience to perform this task alone. An additional recommendation was made, if you were willing to pay for it, to employ a Certified RV Inspector! We decided this was the way to go for us. He is scheduled to arrive at the dealership next Thursday morning at 9am, and will spend the next 4-5 hrs checking off his own list. If all goes well, we will arrive Friday morning, give them the check, set up the anti sway bars, and take our new camper home.
Thanks to all of you, and your discussions, which were instrumental in our decision. There is so much more to learn here. In fact, I’m suggesting to my wife to become a member as well because I’m constantly telling her “you gotta read this honey”.
Hoping to meet many of you down the road… God willing.

Found this Lance owners group before I was one. I saw the perfect trailer for us, a 2012 1685 for sale nearby. My research led me to this group, and I signed up for lifetime membership.to access the information I saw I would have access to. When we went to see the trailer, I knew what to look for, and positive it was a good deal for a great trailer. Now we are very happy Lance owners, and any questions we’ve had have been answered within the vast knowledge base and experience of members here. It’s a friendly, helpful resource, well worth the reasonable membership fee. It’s also a lot of fun 🤩
