History of Lance Camper Manufacturing

Lance Camper Manufacturing Corporation has a rich history rooted in innovation and quality craftsmanship in the RV industry. Founded in 1965 by Richard Murray in North Hollywood, California, the company began as M&M Trailer Supply, a small operation focused on truck campers. Murray soon rebranded it to Lance, emphasizing factory-direct sales to deliver high-value products directly to consumers. In the early days, Murray handled manufacturing while his partner, Ron Mertes, drove sales with his expertise in customer relations.

The company quickly gained a reputation for durable, lightweight truck campers designed for adventure seekers. By the 1970s, Lance expanded its lineup, incorporating advanced materials and features like insulated walls and modern amenities. Jack Cole, who joined as a part-time employee after school in the company’s early years, rose through the ranks and became President, guiding Lance through decades of growth. Today, Lance is headquartered in Lancaster, California, and remains a leader in the truck camper segment, producing models known for their aluminum construction, off-road capabilities, and family-friendly designs. Over 50 years later, Lance continues to innovate, blending tradition with modern sustainability practices.

Recyclable Materials from Lance RVsLance campers, like most RVs, are built with a variety of materials that can be responsibly recycled. Our recycling process involves carefully dismantling the unit to separate and repurpose these components. Here’s a comprehensive list of commonly recyclable materials found in Lance RVs:

• Metals:
  • Aluminum (siding, frames, roofs, and structural components – highly recyclable and often reused in new manufacturing).
  • Steel (chassis parts, brackets, and hardware).
  • Copper (wiring, electrical systems, and plumbing fittings).
  • Brass (fittings and valves in water systems).
• Plastics and Composites:
  • Various plastics (interior panels, bumpers, and fixtures – can be melted down for new products).
  • Fiberglass (exterior shells and insulation – specialized recycling turns it into composite materials for construction).
• Glass:
  • Windows and mirrors (crushed and reformed into new glass products).
• Rubber:
  • Tires and seals (ground into crumb rubber for playgrounds, roads, or new tires).
• Wood and Composites:
  • Plywood and lumber (framing and cabinetry – untreated wood can be chipped for mulch or biomass energy).
• Electronics and Appliances:
  • Batteries (lead-acid or lithium – recycled for their metals and chemicals).
  • Appliances (stoves, refrigerators, microwaves – metals and components salvaged after removing hazardous refrigerants).
  • Wiring and circuit boards (e-waste recycled for precious metals).
• Other Materials:
  • Insulation (foam or fiberglass – some types can be repurposed).
  • Fabrics and upholstery (seats and curtains – textiles recycled into new fabrics or insulation if clean).
  • Propane tanks (refilled or recycled as scrap metal after proper emptying).
