Try A New Camper Before Buying - Truck Load
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with bringing their truck to an RV dealer and asking to load a camper on their truck to see how it feels? I know this is a wacky request but it got me think...

When I bought my lance it was used and from a dealer. I was putting it on a 1/2 ton chevy so weight was a concern. Dealer wouldn't let me drive with it loaded due to a lack of tie downs but he recommended I back under it and put the full weight of the camper on the truck before any paperwork or money exchanged hands. Once we both saw how the truck handled the weight I agreed to pay cash for the happijack system and turnbuckles and then they let me test drive the TC and if I was happy he would take my money for the TC. If I was not happy no sell but I was still out the cash for the happijack and tiedowns.
