Truck camper rig on a budget?
While I know a ~$60,000, 2015 Dually, Diesel, one ton, crew cab would be great. And a brand new ~$30,000 Lance 850 would also be great. I have a hard time laying out that cash on depreciating assets...

You can save a bundle going used, so long as you buy quality. I spent a grand total of $8,200 on my truck and camper seven years ago and have been enjoying them since with minimal issues. Mostly routine maintenance. Truck is a '93 Dodge 250 12v Cummins SRW with manual trans, 131k miles when purchased. Camper is an '87 Six Pac that was also in good shape. They look like they were made for each other. That combo gets 18 mpg even pulling my car behind it (based on current trip of roughly 1000 miles @ 60 mph). Could have easily afforded to buy new but I have that same aversion to spending a fortune on a depreciating asset that you do, and top priority for my money was retirement. I've since retired, but still have the rig and hope to have it for many years to come.
