opinions please....on a old Lance
Me and my wife are considering buying a Lance Squire 8000 (10 foot, 9 inches). Today we sold our 1999 Fleetwood Angler. We have been truck camping for 2 1/2 years. The Lance that we are considering is...

I want to thank EVERYBODY !!! for there input on this thread especially the most recent posts by travelnutz mkurtz and Bug Jr.
Today for the heck of it called a spring shop that I have been dealing with for a long time especially back when I was a owner operator and inquired about getting some leaves put on my truck.
one leaf would be $550.00 and two leaves would be $721.00 then when you figure the cost of bigger tires and rims I lost interest.
Also for the record I'm not a "camper"...I'm a guy that got tired of paying for motel rooms,I go to a lot of events during the year that require lodging and a TC has more than fit the bill.
I did take the wife camping twice in the last 2 years (she loves it)
Once to a Yogi Bear campground in South Jersey and last year to Knobels in Pennsylvania.She enjoys sitting by a fire at night and reading a book...Me I'm in the TC watching TV with the A/C on "10" eating microwave popcorn.
I maybe jumped the gun when I sold my TC... it was starting to fall apart and I panicked and dumped it cheap on craigslist last Sunday.
We where coming back from a family wedding in Massena NY on July 3rd when I noticed that the TC was separating in the nose of the bunk
I stopped at a Dollar General and bought some duct tape just to get it home without any further separation.
I remembered seeing the Lance sitting in the used car lot and thats when I starting thinking about getting involved.
I have to get another TC but I am going to hold out for one that does not extend over the rear bumper...I do not need a bathroom so that makes it easier. I haul a 4500 LB antique truck on a trailer and really do not want to get involved with hitch extension.
The added weight of a bigger camper plus the truck and trailer would be a lot for a gas powered truck.
Thanks again for the help
