Oops, I had originally posted this in the wrong Forum area... A fellow Lance member pointed me to the correct Forum..... I wanted to share this product with fellow Lance owners. About 20 years ago I came across this product at a bike show for lubricating parts on a racing bike. I have used this product ever since to lubricate and protect about anything that is made out of bare metal. This product was developed for Boeing aircraft to lubricate and protect metal hinges and other items on an...

FROM THE MANUFACTURER: The WeatherTech FloorLiner accurately and completely lines the interior carpet giving "absolute interior protection"!

The following is an unsolicited unpaid product endorsement of Bow to Stern (BTS) Protectant...   As mentioned in my prior thread linked below, my plan had been to use BTS in combo with partial coverage (shade cloth) over my Lance 1685 TT to...

From the Manufacturer: Protect the interior of your coach from UV rays and assist with temperature control. Air-filled cells encapsulated in lightweight, flexible polypropylene between two layers of reflective film. Collapses for storage and attaches with hook and loop fasteners for simple installation. My Experience : I bought the door window covers (Part #45167). I have two doors in my 2017 2185 so I bought two. I like the trailer really dark when I sleep and the two doors and the opaque...

When we had a popup, we kept it covered. We had Adco, and some other brand I can't remember. 2-3 years was all we got out of them even with patching them. One no-name lasted 3 months and literally fell apart. We got a refund and bought an Adco. We decided that even though we like to protect the finish, on a cost/year basis and the fact that it is kind of a PITA to uncover and recover it every time we use it, we decided to not cover our Lance. We'll see in a few years whether we think we were...

UPDATE Completed the job today with great results, other than certain areas of baked graphics. Did the cleaner/wax routine twice to frontal area and street side areas not done yesterday, then applied BTS 3 times with brief drying periods between and buffed as last step. All areas of white siding really do look as new which is amazing since this trailer has never been covered nor detailed since new Feb 2011. BTS helped those decal graphics "pop" except for gold tone stripes exposed to...

I agree, the Weather Tech do cover and protect good, but are kinda slippery. Next time around I think I’ll shop for something more rubbery. We only have the smaller Weather Tech ones that fit only in the footwells and don’t cover the transmission hump. The driver side stays put cuz it snaps in place, however the passenger side doesn't have snaps and kinda moves around on the carpet and has to be repositioned occasionally........another reason to look for a rubbery mat the next time I buy...

We made ours, courtesy of a LOA member, Pauls, ingenuity! We got the swimming pool skimmer poles from Amazon and the PVC pieces from Lowes. We did cut the saddle differently: just cut that large "tube" section in half and that created a cradle. We glued in a thin sheet of white closed-cell foam that was left over from our fantastic fan gasket. (My husband said the same material shipped with his computer to protect the screen during transit.) He did use a screw to hold that PVC to the pole.

Yes, similar to @grannygump , we too made our own. I had a couple paint roller extension poles and cargo straps. I needed some decent tent stakes, and a way to "cup" the awning roller. For the "cup", I found a 3" PVC with a 1" knock out. I just used a sabre saw and cut about 2/3 of the 3" portion, then added a couple felt buttons at the top of the knock-out to protect the roller since the paint roller extension end didn't scratch up the awning roller. As others can attest, it certainly does...

Thanks for the mention. Here's a link to my DIY support poles. I have not added any straps yet, but as mentioned here it's relatively easy to do. When I made these Carefree was still working on their poles and I did not want to wait. They have worked out very well and are quick and easy to set up. I do strongly recommend some kind of support, either DIY or from Carefree. Too many posts here about awning failures.

I have used a product called Bow-to-Stern on my 2016 1685 from the beginning (it was mentioned in LOA discussions back when I was wondering what to use). It applies very easily, has protected the surfaces well from aging in the sun, and is designed for fiberglass boat protection which makes it well suited for the both the sides and front of the trailer since they are really plastic products. It produces a nice shine after about the third application, less so until then, but bugs and things...
