Interesting comment by SidecarFlip about (1) Lance production camper won't work on half-ton pickup, and (2) not likely anybody would purchase a Lance/CruiseAmerica-type TC......I think Lance makes a 650 model specifically for half-ton short bed pickups, which is self-contained. And, SidecarFlip, don't you own a pop-up TC, which probably is a tad more spartan than a Lance 650?
I do and it's not spartan at all other than the pop top. I owned (and sold) a fully loaded Lance for many years as well. It was a tank weight wise. The stickered weight and the actual weight were 2 entirely different things, over 1000 pounds difference...
I sill maintain that Lance is the most abusive builder in stating actual unit weights versus the ACTUAL weight of the unit.
My Palomino also has a fantasy weight sticker but at least it's not 1000+ pounds off, only about 500.
The only 2 builders that I know of that actually weigh every individual unit prior to shipment are Capri and Northstar and Maybe 4 Wheel Campers (not sure on that) but I know Capri and Willett so and post that actual weight on each unit.
The rest are fantasy weights based on a bare bones unit, not a real world optioned out unit....
