Advice on Truck Campers
Hello! My husband and I are in the market for our first truck camper. We started with a motorhome, then went to a 5th wheel toy hauler with a back porch and now we're downgrading to something more fit...

There are a number of good brands. You mentioned some and I am sure that others will mention more. We have had a Lance and that was a good unit, we now have an Outfitter that we both like, its different but it works best for us. Since you want to use the camper in the winter then look for a rig with a winter package. In some respects you can insulate a TC for winter use and remove the insulation for summer.
With a 3500 you have lots of options. One thing to think about is the height, if you go hard side low hanging branches will not be your friend.
A TC does have a lot of convenience and mobility. That is why we went back to a TC after bigger rigs. We also use a TC much more than the other types of rigs.
Good luck.
Oh yes, we've seen a lot of Lance campers for sale too. We definitely need to go with a winter package. Even in the summer it's pretty chilly at night where we camp. I want to make sure we're well insulated!
I'm sure we'll use the TC more than the others as well. Just seems so much easier! It's quite the production to get our 5th wheel out, back it up our driveway to the house from our shop to load up, fill/check everything, blah, blah, blah. Not to mention all the time it takes to overpack such a big rig!
Thanks for the good luck wishes!
