Based on my conversations with both Lance 830 owners and non-owners, I'd say it was pretty popular. I love the floor plan and the side entry door and so do the owners. Why Lance stopped making it, we may never know. It may have been a niche item. One thing to note is availability. They are somewhat hard to find because those who own them love them. There was another, more recent, side door model made by Lance but it does not fit a short bed truck.
