Recommended camper for 2500 truck

My lance 855S on my truck, which sounds like yours, does just fine. I beefed up the suspension some; sway bars, overload springs, tires.

Looks like this;

We have a Bigfoot 15C9.5 on a 2009 GMC 2500HD crew cab short bed truck. The 1500 series Bigfoot campers are designed for 1500 series trucks even though I don't think I would try it on anything smaller than a 2500. The Bigfoot works well for us on our 2500 hd

I have a Wolf Creek 850 short box, works great!

I've got a Lance 850. Works great.
Should mention it's in a long bed truck though.

That's incredible , 22mpg loaded . What the heck does he get empty ?

Take a look at Northstar. They have several campers that could work.

We have a Northstar Laredo on a Chevy 2500HD and are just under the "recommended" weight. You would probably be over a bit but not too bad, just don't exceed tire or axle ratings.

I have a Lance 855 on my short 3/4 diesel...does just fine..

Your profile says fulltiming...... the 8 foot, non-slide TC's are kinda small for fulltiming........ even the Northern Lite 8-5 or 8-11 which are "larger" small TCs.......

Thanks for the heads up. We need to change our profile. We were fulltiming in our fifth wheel, but now we have a park model to use as a base. The fifth wheel is in storage now, but we plan to put it in a park near Prescott and use it as a 'cabin'. We would use the camper for traveling.
