I don't find that surprising at all.
The market for smaller, more lightweight campers for couples doing a short (weekend, or 3-4 day) trip, possibly with boondocking, in a "half-ton" truck that they already have, is much bigger than the market for a huge double or triple slide camper that costs $50k.
Not everybody owns a dually, but way more people own a half-ton of recent vintage that is considerably more capable than a half-ton from 10 years go.
Also, Six-Pac does not seem to be making campers anymore. They were pretty much the standard for lightweight, hard-side, smaller campers that could do some off-roading.
The 650 seems like it has decent size tanks, good enough for a reasonably long trip, and a few days of boondocking, if you do it right.
