Did the same as Jaycocreek. Kept the 1 ton SRW but sold the Lance and got a pop-up. I'm way under my GCVW now, even loaded up with 'stuff. and it makes a world of difference not just in handling but in fuel mileage and off road ability too.
Don't even know the camper is back there unless I look in the mirrors. Big seat of the pants difference between the Lance and the Palomino. Even adding the trailer with the quads don't make an impact. Weight is everything, especially weight above the bed rails.
If I get another one (doubtful at my age), I'll go even lighter with either an Alaskan or a FWC pop-up unit. My wife and I (and my hunting pals) don't need a dry bath or a fireplace or a big screen TV to be comfortable. All we need is a dry comfortable place to sleep and basic cooking necessities. My 'entertainment center' is my CCrane weather am/fm radio and I don't watch TV anyway so a TV is not a necessity.
Don't get me wrong, I like the big units but I have no need for one.
