From The Build Show.
In this episode of The Build Show, Matt takes us on a five-year review of his Lance 2445 travel trailer, sharing hard-earned insights from over 20,000 miles on the road and 145 nights of use. With a builder’s eye for detail, Matt breaks down the Lance’s standout construction, fit, and finish, highlighting the durability of its aluminum framing and Azdel composite panels, the reliability (and occasional challenges) of slide-outs, and the thoughtful floor plan that’s served his family well. He discusses repair experiences, clever modifications, and essential tips for storage, maintenance, and protecting your RV investment. Whether you’re shopping for your first camper or considering an upgrade, Matt offers candid, practical advice—rooted in the “buy once, cry once” philosophy—that will help you choose a rig built to last.
