Somebody thinks differently. I doubt they are in the white knuckle rental business. Go for it and enjoy the experience. College fans can travel well. That was part of our buying experience in Oregon (go Ducks).
Nothing in your link that substantiates or discourages my claim. I did take a look at the TC's in question and... They appear to be custom built (by Lance) for Cruise America and are certainly spartan and certainly lighter in weight. Things like limited FW capacity a single small house battery and single propane tank as well as very few amenities inside all add up to less weight. They are no slide, no luxury basic campers and yes, a F150 is capable of toting one.
My original comment was based on a production Lance built for sale to the general market, not the built for Cruise America unit. After looking at one and the basic appointments, I agree that it (F150) is a capable truck.
I also see that Cruise America sells used units, I presume units from their rental flee. The list for sale, many units (all motor homes however) in various locations, all 'refurbished' to their specification.
I digress on my comment with this caveat and that is, a retail buyer of a Lance would probably not consider one as a TC for ownership in the first place. It's a very basic TC and not what a buyer would buy normally.
