Looking at a 1994 Lance Squire 3000 Camper
I've been shopping for truck campers off and on and came across what looks to be a really clean '94 Lance Squire 3000 camper on Craigslist. It's a long bed camper, but I'd be hauling it on my '96 F25...

Thanks for the response Dak. I thought the 2 weeks on the batteries was funny, too. They're either huge batteries or they don't use anything in the camper that draws on them. Most likely they are out two weeks but are driving around during that time, recharging the batteries. I could say the same thing with the batteries on my trailer. ;)
I wish I could find a camper like the one you sold for $3,800. If I decide to move forward with it, I'll be going to thoroughly check it out before investing in tie downs and see if they're willing to drop $1K off their asking price. If it's truly solid and shows no signs of previous leaks or rot, they'll probably get close to their asking price since it's the time of year to be selling them.
They did already take $250 off the price without me asking them and have been quite helpful. They even researched to see if the camper would work on a short bed (I already knew it would) and sent me the original paperwork showing the weight of the camper and included options (there are none).
We'll see what I decide to do. It's a lot of money to get my truck set up, but certainly better than spending over $20K on a new camper only to find out I don't like truck camping. I am pretty sure I'll enjoy it since it's usually just me and two dogs (a German Shepherd and Schipperke) that will be sleeping in it, but the lack of floor space and lifting the German Shepherd in and out of the camper all the time may get old real fast.
