Lance(lite) 815--the 1/2 ton capable camper?

While I'm a firm believer in a 3500 truck being a minimum for any truck camper I'd like to point out a flaw in your example.
A 1500 truck minus the diesel engine of your truck, minus the 4x4 of your truck, minus the crew cab of your truck, minus whatever options come along with your chrome bumper and fog lights, might certainly be able to haul that camper if the camper was basically empty.
I'm guessing your truck is a fairly highly optioned one and you had the camper loaded up and ready to camp.
They don't say the camper is suitable for a loaded up 1/2 ton with a huge family and a lot of gear in the camper.
But I do agree, anyone buying a 1500 truck to haul a TC is buying the wrong truck.
