Favorite Truck Camper(s): Lance
Type and Brand of Truck(s) Owned: 2005 Chevrolet 3500 4x4
Type of Tiedowns used: Happijac with Quick Loads
Truck and Camper Setup: 2005 Chevy 3500 4x4 Edge Attitude, 4" exhaust, Airaid Air Intake, Ranchos, Air Bags, Hellwig Big Wig, Cabover struts. Lance 1172 loaded with 200 watt Renogy solar and Zamp controller



We are on our second Lance. First was a 2005 1181 with a single slide and the current one is an 1172 that has 2 slides. The slides allow for considerably more space, but add weight. With your truck you should have no issue with hauling a heavier TC. You may find that you may want to add some air bags if you don't already have them. No, the slides won't come out as you go down the road. WE also went from a 38' 5R to a TC. Don't regret it.
