Need Camper: Ram 2500 Diesel 6.5 foot bed (8 with tailgate)

Hi All,

Looking to get a camper primarily for frequent trips to the Seattle area where I will sleep in it. Don't really need a shower although it might be nice some day but I have access to shower when I am in Seattle. Porta potty could come in handy.

Wife and I would also use it for camping on those occasions.

Would like to get something of quality and something that will not overload my truck and have wind problems driving over the mountain pass.

I read Hallmark, Outfitter, Alaskan are all good but maybe these are more of the expensive ones.

Any thoughts here? Also, if any of you are in WA where would be a good place to shop? Where I live they have one 8ft Eagle Cap used that actually looks like a pretty nice rig with a lot of features (shower, etc) but I wanted to look into this.

thanks!

  • I am in Ellensburg! Going to Yakima today to see what the RV center there has. Thanks for the temp on the searchtemppest.
  • Where in WA are you located? The "dry side" I presume.

    Start scanning Craigslist. I use www.searchtempest.com for a massive Craigslist search. I've used it a lot recently during my search for a Nash 17k and 22H
  • We own a Lance 825 and its on a Ford F250. It works really well for just 2 people,plus the truck handles it great. Good luck in your search.
