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.

...and I stated as fact that aluminum isn't the 'holy grail' of framing either, for the reasons I listed.
Now that REV Industries has acquired Lance, anything is possible, including a move out of California east to Indiana, Ohio or Michigan. Time will tell. |
