Camper with Rear Tent who makes them
As are fam is growing we have been looking at getting a new used truck camper. We came acrossed the Lance 830 and really liked that layout with the rear tent opition. I know they don't make that model...

We have the tent on our Lance 1040. We love the usefulness of it. But you do need to keep up on the caulking. But in all honesty, be prepared for a lot of hard strenuous work to put the tent back up. If I did not have a carrier on the back, I do not know how I would get it up. You can not use a ladder, because the tent sticks out so far that you are far from the tent the last part of closing. Then you have to go from one side to the other to be sure that you are not pinching the fabric.I think that it take above average strength to lift the tent up. something a lot of people can not do. Do not try one on a camper sitting on the ground. Try one on a truck. That is the mistake we make when we bought ours. You don't need to be a 30 year old body builder to use the tent, But knowing one WOULD help.
Try turning your fantastic fan on high sucking out of the camper. Close all the vents, windows, and the door and try again. You will be surprised at how easy this task becomes. I added a second fantastic fan in the bathroom of my 830 and the tent almost closes itself with both fans on.
