that produce exact fitting pieces—no need for gobs of caulking to cover up gaps. The insulation is a solid block foam type that won’t sag over time. The exterior is covered with a laminated fiberglass bonded product that completes this firm insulated shell sandwich. The nose has a gravel guard and fitted propane tank covers. Above it, on the curved nose, is a nice bonus (also a focal point of the trailer)—a large curved front picture window. This automotive-style glass is tinted as are all the frameless dual-pane windows in the trailer. The roof is covered with a one-piece PVC material and it’s crowned to shed water. Each of these components carries a premium cost—but they will last and that’s the pay- off. The floor is also laminated and insulated. This trailer rides on aluminum wheels and Goodyear radial tires. Inside, the layout is typical for a trailer this size, but the appointments are what’s different. For instance, the lighting. Light fixtures, mood and spot lighting, as well as dimmers, all add to the sense of quality that Lance is aiming for. In fact, everywhere I looked I found what I expected—but then I’d see the little extra. In the ceiling there is a powered vent and shower skylight in the bath—standard fare. But, there is also one over the bed and a second skylight above the kitchen. That’s the extra.
Something you wouldn’t notice right off is the use of a product called “Lite-Ply” for cabinet construction. This material, imported from Europe, is both lighter and stronger than other wood products. It is used extensively in the interiors of corporate jets. It’s used here with both tongue and groove and dovetail construction. What really dominates the trailer layout is the U-shaped "Super Slide" dinette. This dinette has fabric wrapped storage doors and reversible faux leather cushions giving the 1995 an elegant yet functional look. Also, as a fold- down for sleeping, this dinette will make for a very cozy and intimate second bed. The galley is complete and large in this trailer. It features a 7-cu ft, two-way refrigerator with stainless steel door panels next to the stainless steel three-burner range with 21-inch oven. Above it is the stainless-steel range hood and the “flat bottom” stainless steel microwave oven. (Some of these items are options.) The counter is nicely extended by using the solid sink covers. The faucet is a residential style single lever with a pull-out sprayer. A nice bonus is a spice rack just above the work area—while behind you is a built-in magazine rack or cookbook storage.
