Truck Camper Magazine Previews ’23 Lance Camper Updates

Lance truck campers go 100% Truma for 2023 with the Truma Combi eco plus, VarioHeat, AquaGo and all-new Aventa eco air conditioner. Here’s a rundown of what Lance models get which Truma products, why they were selected, and the advancements they bring, writes Gordon White at TruckCamperMagazine.com.

One of the most amazing things about truck campers from ten, twenty, and even thirty years ago is how the water heater and furnace units are often identical to what’s commonly used today. The model numbers may have changed, but the brand, design, form, and function of these units are essentially the same.

This isn’t inherently bad. Our 2004 Alpenlite 1100 has had the same furnace for all of its eighteen-plus years. I can’t say the same for the refrigerator (RIP 2019) or water heater (RIP 2014), but the furnace design has been one heck of a reliable unit. It may sound like a F/A-18 taking off from an aircraft carrier when it starts, but it still works! “What?” I said it still works! “Huh?” Oh, never mind.

A lot of those older RV components are time-tested and true. That’s why the RV industry keeps using them decade after decade. Why change what’s working?

Starting about ten years ago, German manufacturer, Truma, started to make waves in the established RV water heater and furnace marketplace. In sharp contrast to the aforementioned units, Truma’s products were modern, offered notable gains in efficiency, saved interior space, and presented features never before seen in the RV water heater and furnace segment. They were also several times more expensive, a tough sell to an industry happily going with the old reliables.
