The Lance 981 is a 9'11" basement-style camper with a large wet bath – and, next to the Lance 992, is our most spacious nine-footer ever. It sports a roadside full-wall slideout with dinette and refrigerator. Large holding tanks and lots of sub-floor basement storage are key amenities. You'll enjoy ducted heat in the bathroom for your morning showers – and the mirrored wardrobe and huge insulated skylight (with ventilation screen and black-out shade) in the high-head-clearance cabover.
