811 vs 855S
Would anyone like to compare the Arctic Fox 811 to the Lance 855S. I know the 811 is heavier but it has larger tanks and fridge and it appears that the 811 is a little cheaper. I'll be putting it on...

We are considering the same 2 truck campers and I believe we'll be overweight with both units, even with minimal gear. We have a 2015 F350 SRW PSD. I weighed it with the wife, the dog and myself and 1/2 tank of fuel and it weighs 8380 total (5040 front, 3340 rear). It's rated for 11500 GVW. That leaves only 3120 lbs for the loaded camper and I'm pretty sure both will be way over that! I don't know how people haul them without a dually! I don't wanna be over GVWR!
Anyway, looking for some weights fully loaded on these units. If I could find a 855 without a slide I might go that route...
We love both the Lance and the AF but I'm worried about the load.
Rick,
If you want just about any full featured TC (full bathroom, full kitchen, etc)it is going to be over your truck's GVWR.
Many members here use axle weight rating- FAWR (front axle) but mostly RAWR (rear axle) as THE weight to pay attention to.
We carry an 855s on our 2500 and are very comfortable, even on twisty back roads.
