I am looking for a 10ft slide-in camper, and a 2001 Lance 1061 has come on the market.
The only thing is it seems AWFULLY heavy for a slide-in to me, weighing 3200 pounds (not sure if that's empty weight). I have a decent truck (2003 Dodge quad cab Cummins 3500 6spd manual dually), but to put over 2000 pound in the bed seems like it would be an overload. Do you need an F-450 or F-550 for such campers, or will my "wimpy" 1-ton do the job w/ enough power and stability to be safe on the highways, and maybe be able to still pull a boat trailer or flat-towed Jeep or the like?
