I'm in the market for a lightweight hard sided truck camper. I'd like to stay around 1700-1900 lb dry and a wet bath is a requirement... So far, the Lance 825 seems like a great option. The Palamino Maverick might work, but construction seemed a little cheap on the one that I walked through. Sun Valley (out of business) also has a couple in this weight range with a shower, but they are hard to find.It's really tough finding new or used inventory that meet my requirements. Outside of eBay and RVTrader, are there other places I should be looking? Any manufacturers that I'm missing?Thanks for the feedback! Great to have our camping season starting after a long winter.

We had a Lance 825 and liked it (until Cathy got a large dog and needed more room- now have a Lance 855S- has a slide out dinette)Have you looked at Northstar? Their Liberty model would meet your requirements Northstar Liberty

Host makes some lightweight campers as well. I'd also consider Four Wheel Campers if you are all thinking about popups.

Lance 815 will also fit your requirements. Bathroom is a bit tight, even for a TC, but is useable.Use searchtempest.com for searching all of your surrounding areas of craigslist.

Take a look at Panther campers. They are made in WA, ready for a road trip? They are lite weight, well made, and reasonably priced. They build each camper to order so they are willing to do customer requested modifications.

We just bought the Lance 865 about 6 months ago and really like it. It was approx. 1800 pounds dry and wet & loaded is about 2600 pounds.

The manufacturer you're missing is Northstar.
As for sites:
National Association of Truck Camper Owners has a classified page.
Outdoor Express RV - OERV.com usually has some used units
Have you found the online Truck Camper magazine? They have adds from lots of dealers around the country.

I just received my Waterfall 865 (formerly White Water), it is in the size and weight range you are talking about. Their website is RiversideRVs.net.
