Hello, I am a new member here. I am changing from a 5th. wheel camper to a truck camper . I have a 2004 dodge 1 ton dually diesel long bed. My problem is I don't know what size camper will be right for our needs. we may have as many as 4 adults some times but mostly just 2 or 3 . I do want a dry bath ,A/c furnace ,most all common items . I am wanting a used one . I was told that a Lance is the best but that to me is hear say . We camp 2 to 3 weeks a year and some weekends . I need advice from all you good folks . Thank You.

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.

I been looking at a2005 1010 lance and a 2014 palomino both are large but I don't see why the 2005 lance cost more than the 2014 palomino . I do see that the lance is heaver and holds more fresh, gray and black water and the 2014 is longer any input on these 2
