Question : Tail gate

Just waiting on cruise control to get fixed now - seems it wasn't the brake light switch . Front end done and aligned , got to see the truck outside were they aligned it ,:) I have E series tires , I new they were almost new . The mat is 1\4" so just gonna need that 1" pink sheet for bed .

Seems it's taking forever to have it all come together .

Oh ya ordered locks for fastguns and front 2 in reciver hitch for the front . Thinking on hauling honda generator up there .

Might just have to have a few beers to get my mind off it .

Cheers

One problem I encountered with leaving the tailgate on is that the lower rear storage compartments interfere with the tailgate support cables.

I am excited for you! Nice camper. The Craigslist pictures showed just enough to tell it was in good shape. Happy Camping!

Sounds good , I have a bed mat I can use , plus will add more if needed . Thanks for those measurements . Very nice of you all ,

Best
Wayne

My '98. Lance Squire and '08 F 350 just made it with about a half inch of clearance. I used the 2" pink foam for piece of mind. Congratulations and enjoy.

From those measurements, an inch of dense foam under a thin rubber mat should be enough. Go with 2" if you are worried about cab or bed rail contact.

To my knowledge, they did not change the exterior wall designs between 2001 and 2004 but did change cabinets and bathroom.

From bottom of camper to wings measures 20".
From wing to bottom of cab over measures 26".
From bottom of camper to bottom of cab over measures 46".

Don't think there is a problem at the tail gate opening, but while I was out at the storage yard, figured I would grab some dimensions.

From outside edge to grey tank measures 14 1/4"
From outside edge to knee wall on passenger side measure 19 3/8"
From outside edge to outside edge measure 86 1/2"

Just a stupid question though, I thought the 815 was a long bed model?

It's both , long and short . Lance has a option for two pods that go on the rear sides . They have tail lights and small doors to hold more "stuff" . Larry didn't have them , so I call Lance and ordered the last pair ( So Liz said ) that they had . She also said they don't plan on making anymore . EXPENSIVE to buy and ship .

Thanks for the kind words .

"With your Ford, the concern is more about the top of your truck cab and the underside of the cabover." Ok got you , just gonna have to wait on everthing to come together I guess .

Here's the pics wife took when we went to pay for it . The last one is the truck I got . We are going to travel and stealth camp some and see the country . I do have a Toyhauler but it's a pain to back up and don't like how it sleeps much .

Wayne - looks like a good deal on a nice camper. I'm looking forward to your experience. I'm hoping to get a similar age and model Lance someday to go on my Ford.
