Best selling truck campers (by volume) ?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a list which showed the best selling truck campers (by volume). Speculation/discussion is fine too, it doesn't need to be based on hard facts. I am just interested in knowing roughly which campers sell the most. Thank you :)
  • IMO, long-term resale value (of any item) is a more telling and interesting stat than sales/popularity.

    Not a bad idea. I did a rough search of all campers on RV trader from 2017+ and this is the rough conclusion I came to for nationwide sales:

    26% - Lance
    18% - Northwood Mfg (Arctic Fox / Wolf Creek)
    16% - Palomino
    15% - Adventurer LP (Eagle Cap / Adventurer)
    9% - Travel Lite
    6% - Northern Lite
    4% - Northstar
    3% - NuCamp
    2% - Host
    1% - Bigfoot


    Maybe that's because nobody wants them and wants to get into another brand. ;)
  • Agreed that here in the West it is Lance, with Four Wheel as a close second. I see them of all vintages everywhere I go. But they are built here in California and have been for many years. Stats might be different elsewhere.

    Just go to local Craigslist and see what is on the market.

    Of course this list isn't super accurate. It is missing some bigger niche manufacturers like Four Wheel Campers.
