Can Our F350 Carry a Lance 1191 Safely?
I am hoping that some of you with experience with truck campers can assist us in determining if our truck can handle the truck camper we are looking at. We have been assured by the dealer and the man...

Hi , I'm just asking , 4400 + for a wet 1191 ?
Did you weigh the camper as its ready to roll or did you calculate the 4400 + #'s ?
I only ask because a lot of 1191 owners post a scaled 'rolling down the road weight' to be 1000 lbs plus more than that .
Some owners use the 350 dually all modded up and some use 450/550 's .
It would be best to hear from actual 1191 owners who visited a scale, so lets hope they post and bring us up to date.

When I had my 05 1191 I weighed it at the CAT scales Off of I-5 near the Grapevine. Loaded up for a 2 week trip with the GF and 2 dogs my gross weight was 13,900 lbs and the camper wet was 5400lbs.
Be very optimistic with the data plates, these things are heavy.
