I own a 2013 model and I am glad they haven't changed anything in 5 years. You know the old saying "If it aint broke don't fix it". Also Mr. Baker does a nice job reviewing the trailer.
Call me the GOAT! Haha, seriously man this is probably one of my favorite comments of all time. My colleagues and family all cracked a smile at this one. Thanks for watching my friend and for counting me among the greats! -Ian Baker
Camping World Genuinely great at what you do, brother. I live in Canada and am shopping for a travel trailer so I come on here to check your detailed overviews. Really helpful, thanks for you and your crews hard work 👍
Very nice camper. I love that there are several places to put items like long fishing poles and a lot of storage. I also love the slide out in a camper this size and the look and feel of the luxious dinette. Lance went a step above and beyond about something you mentioned, and that is the awening above the slide out. That is so important for all the reasons that you mentioned. NOw, I really liked the video that I watched previously about the fiberglass Airstream, but the Airstream's frig was smaller where this one is bigger. Lance only had a 2 way fridge where Airstream had a 3 way fridge. I liked the bath facilities in the Lance bettter. One thing I would like to see is these manufactures start making these campers a lot more solar friendly. Like adding a small yet expandable solar panel. If they buy in bulk and put them on EVERY camper, it wouldn't add that much to the cost. But then again, most solar crap comes from China and with Trumpty Dumpty's tariffs .... OH well, NVM. Let the China have their solar, I'll cook on wood and sweat ir out.
Ian, your walk-though was excellent. You demonstrate superior product knowledge of this trailer. Onc thing you did from get go AFTER you showed the specs and base wight was saying the 1575 comes n aorund 3,100 pounds. Thanks for quoting the realistic trailer weight as optioned.
The base weight w/o options is aorund 2,650 pounds. Add typical options, and you'll be pushing 3,000 pounds. The Lance 1685 is about a half foot or so longer then the 1575. It also has a tandem axle. The base weight jumps up to something like 3,850 +/- pounds depending on options. That won't work for a vehicle with a 3,700 pound tow capacity. Practically speaking, by the time you load your 1685 with options, water, etc you are well into the 4K range. A 6 cylinder SUV might get away pulling the 1575, but forget about the 1685.
That's the first non-european caravan review I've seen and they're quite different. I do like the "slider" . The "leather " is not to my taste, it's like something my parents might have had in the 1970s. :-) Good review though. Graham
Great video as always, Ian! How much solar is already installed and how much is it wired to handle if one was to upgrade? And what kind of controller does it have?
Thank you for the compliment! The 1575 comes with a 160 watt panel. The system is Go Power brand and has a 30amp controller capable of handling up to 500 watts total. As always, thanks for watching!
Can you add a second propane tank to this unit. I know they have this different cover for them could you add a more traditional cover? Also the same with a second battery? It would be nice to do both if not at least one of these modifications
Eric, do you tow with a pickup? I carry a spare 20lb tank forward in the bad of my truck. I keep it in a milk crate that I bought from Home Depot. You could do away with the shroud and retrofit a twin bottle holder on the tongue. However, the shroun is now gone. Here is the solution for your second battery. Install a 100 or 125 amp hour drop in lithium battery. This battery will weigh between 28 to 33 pounds. One, 100 AH flooded or AGM battery comes in around 63-74 pounds. Two of them tips the scales from 126-148 pounds. The 125 amp our lithium battery has about the same amount of electrical energy available as do two, 100 amp hour leaded batteries. Look at your weight reduction. 126 pounds down to 33 pounds! Lithium batteries have a higher, upfront cost. In the end it's worth it. I bought a Stark Power battery, but there are several other good brands out there. You will need to make some other tweaks for a lithium system, but believe me, it's worth.
Arley, while the Lance 1575 does have an enclosed, heated and insulated fresh water tank, it is not truly considered an all season camper (a big part of that is the acrylic windows). Great question and thanks for watching!
I like the wind sensor feature on the awning. Aluminum wheels not as strong as steel wheels if your in the mountains are rough terrain. Did he say they bolt the frame back together instead of weld? I don't think so. Fail.
Rick, I agree with the wind sensor and you are correct that aluminum wheels aren't quite as strong if traversing rough terrain. You are also correct that I did say it is bolted together. Lance utilizes a huck bolt frame construction. In the event the frame gets damaged, they can cut the huck bolts, remove the damaged frame section, replace it and re-bolt it back together. Obviously there are other factors involved, but overall it is generally quicker and easier to repair than your standard all welded frame. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching!
Wow, it does look a little like light shining through, doesn't it? It is actually just a white seal around the storage compartment. If you look closely at your time stamp (10:07) you can see the head of a screw in the white seal by the latch on the door. Thanks for watching and for the comment! -Ian Baker
The battery is tucked behind the propane tank under the shroud. The type of battery depends on what the dealer install for you. In my experience, generally a standard deep cycle lead acid battery is used unless you specify you want an AGM. Unfortunately on the 1575, there is only room for one battery. Some of the larger Lance travel trailers however are pre-wired for two. Thanks for watching and great question!
Richard, I'm not sure if you're referring to a different video, but I certainly talk about the bed at the 10:10 mark in this video. Thanks for watching! -Ian Baker

With some minor parkour you can make it happen, lol. In all honesty though, it's a really tight squeeze and isn't very practical with the slide closed. That being said, it is a slider door on the bathroom, so if you open the slide about a foot or so, it is plenty to sneak past it. Great question and thanks for watching!
The 1575 has a terrific floor plan. When the slide is out, it is so open and beats to pieces other similar sized trailers such as the R-Pod. However, one trade off to achieve what Lance Mfg. pulled off is that the bathroom is blocked when the slide is in. As CW said above, move the slide ou8t abou8 a foot.
Lance has a storage compartment with a slide out tray on both sides of the camper so you can have two batteries that are easily accessible. Thanks for watching!
Perhaps you should know the products you sell a little better. Only the 1985 and up have the sliding battery trays. Again, where is the battery located on the 1575?
Sorry about that, I went into auto-answer mode. Yes, on the 1575, there are rails for a single battery located behind the propane tank under the shroud.
Lyndsay, you are correct there is not a sink in the bathroom. When making short floorplans such as this one, manufacturers have to give things up and the bathroom is one of the places that usually feel that the most. Many manufacturers if building a travel trailer this size will utilize a wet bath so you can get everything in the bath because the toilet and sink are in the shower. Lance opted to put in a dry bath, and there just isn't enough room for the sink in this bathroom. Hopefully that helps you understand their logic a little bit. Thanks for watching and excellent question! -Ian Baker
Dry weight says 2650 lbs and then you say right under 3100 pounds. witch is it ? = 250 pounds differents . a 1/4 ton. lolol get it right or don't do it at all !!!
and the tongue weight was ???????????????? ya right. WRONG. Camping World you know better. the most important piece of imformation .......... and i spelled it wrong. don't care
A free clock I’m sure it’s not the customer is paying 3 times the cost of your so called FREE CLICK extremely long and drawn out video for a very ugly camper

Agreed. This is a FANTASTIC walkthrough. Really well done!!!
Why would you put a spice rack with a safety bar that is open on each end? Spices will bounce out while traveling?
TexasScout Noneofyourbusiness no, they're usually ok

We've decided to buy this model that way we don't have to over invest in a pick up truck
Thank you for this travel trailer video Ian. It’s a very good travel trailer.
Excellent tour/ walk-through.
I think my mother-in-law should be able to fit in the storage under the bed with her 9 cats.
😆😆
Love the features. Do we know what's the material on the ceiling of the shower area? Worried about mould/mildew or bubbling on the ceiling etc,
Like the unit and the features... But I would like tandem axles... A little more weight wouldn't be bad if I could have that

Nice looking travel trailer!
Great video!
Thank you.
I love the idea of that front window but it's just begging for leaks. *pops some popcorn and watches the boards*
That's what pillows are for -- to soak up the leaks!
That's the first non-european caravan review I've seen and they're quite different. I do like the "slider" . The "leather " is not to my taste, it's like something my parents might have had in the 1970s. :-) Good review though. Graham
i wonder if my 2015 chevy equinox would pull this?
Great video as always, Ian! How much solar is already installed and how much is it wired to handle if one was to upgrade? And what kind of controller does it have?

Does bathroom have a small sink?
Didn't see one.
Can you add a second propane tank to this unit. I know they have this different cover for them could you add a more traditional cover? Also the same with a second battery? It would be nice to do both if not at least one of these modifications
Eric, I would need a tech to look at it and confirm, but with the proper brackets, I feel that it should be possible.

Is this an all season camper? Enclosed and heated underbelly ?

Nope.

Camping World thanks it a great camper overall
Traveling with Rick, I own a Lance. I’ve looked at all the bumper pullers out there and can tell you that NOTHING compares to a Lance. NOTHING.
huck bolt like what they use on Freightliner big rig chassis,better than welding.(less rust on seams)
Nice rig..
At 10:07 why is the light outlining the outside door access?
Wow, it does look a little like light shining through, doesn't it? It is actually just a white seal around the storage compartment. If you look closely at your time stamp (10:07) you can see the head of a screw in the white seal by the latch on the door. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Where is the battery and what kind is it? Is there room to parallel a couple of them?
The battery is tucked behind the propane tank under the shroud. The type of battery depends on what the dealer install for you. In my experience, generally a standard deep cycle lead acid battery is used unless you specify you want an AGM. Unfortunately on the 1575, there is only room for one battery. Some of the larger Lance travel trailers however are pre-wired for two. Thanks for watching and great question!
See my comment to Eric Jordan above. The brand will be whatever your dealer installs.
please give us the msrp
They never show the main bed. You only know it exists if you look at the floor plan shown for a few seconds at the beginning of the video.
Richard, I'm not sure if you're referring to a different video, but I certainly talk about the bed at the 10:10 mark in this video. Thanks for watching!

The specs at the beginning are incorrect. This camper sleeps 4, not 7 :)
You are absolutely correct, good catch!
Where's the battery box? Inside the propane shroud?
Lance has a storage compartment with a slide out tray on both sides of the camper so you can have two batteries that are easily accessible. Thanks for watching!
Perhaps you should know the products you sell a little better. Only the 1985 and up have the sliding battery trays.

11th warrior. You are an ass.
The sliding storage tray, an option, is NOT for batteries!b The battery goes in a tray behind the propane tank.
I didnt see a sink in the bathroom?
