ill, try and keep this short and sweet….
Looking at a lance 950s 2650 dry weight. I went to lance dealer and spoke with a salesman about matching a truck with this camper. he was steering me towards their brochure which recommended a f250. seemed a little small to me so I went with a 2013 F350 diesel crew cab 8' box.maybe if I give you the specs on the truck you guys might be able to help me decide if this is enough truck for the 950s or i need to scale back to a non slide model. Tires - LT275/70R18E 125/122 R GVWR 11,500 Front GAWR 5600 Rear GAWR 7000 Went to scale with Full fuel tank, 2 adults and dog.. weighed front axle @ 5120# weighed Rear axel @ 3740# Total truck weight @ 8380# if you add up the nameplate axle and tire weight ratings it adds up to 12,600 pounds so why is the GVWR only at 11,500? any help would be appreciated….. thanks Dean |

My truck measures 54" from the back of the bed to my axle. Seems like the weight would be way to far forward. If I step up to the next bigger camper, then the cog is at 47" which is a better number for me but the extra weight of this camper would definitely put me over weight. So I feel like im stuck without a proper cog / weight camper.????
