Lance Truck Camper Construction

Advanced technology comes to Lance camper construction. Automated equipment assures precision cut parts and assembly.

• Precision manufactured parts produced by automation.
• The LanceLock Structure, aircraft-grade aluminum framing welded within a precision jig system
• Interlocking aluminum extrusions connect all exterior panels
• Solid block foam insulation provides strength and weather protections
• Structural fiberglass panel give exterior an attractive, smooth appearance
• All exterior panels are Laminated under intense high-pressure for strength and longevity

With the additional structure needed in many new Lance models to support full-wall slideouts and sub-floor compartments, aluminum was chosen as the optimum framing material because of its rigid properties, consistent strength and low weight.
To build an aluminum-framed camper to match the reliability and strength of our wood-framed campers, we use a proprietary design, construction and assembly process: LanceLock.

LanceLock assures precision assembly through its welded aluminum framing, specially designed aluminum extrusion-fasteners, and high-pressure bonded lamination.

It's unbelievably strong and built to stay strong helps retain the value and creates a level of pride and enjoyment of your camper for many, many years.

The LanceLock structure

.060 Alodine®-coated aluminum framing
The LanceLock structure starts with welded .060-inch wall thickness, aircraft-grade aluminum framing – coated with Alodine (enhancing the molecular bonding of the metal during the LanceLock process) – and assembled within a precision jig system.

Total comfort insulation
Solid, high-density rigid block foam insulation is used throughout the entire camper – creating a strongs total thermally protected enclosure for all-season use.

Structural Filon® paneling
Filon reinforced fiberglass panels make up the exterior, exterior and seamless TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) roof material seals the structure – providing durability and low maintenance.

Interlocking aluminum extrusions
Custom designed extrusions fasten LanceLock laminated structural panels together adding strength while assuring a tight-tolerance fit.

TECHNICAL ADVISORY
No other camper manufacturer uses extrusions like oursto properly connect their aluminum-tubed framing together! See a Lance for yourself and compare the quality!

LanceLock lamination

Lance uses state-of-the-art, high-pressure lamination technologies.
