Who is a Full Timer with a Camper?
It's been some interesting conversations on other RV forums with people who DO NOT think people in truck campers are also full timers in the RV world. Now I know 2-3 people who full time in a truck ...

FYI: The Lance does not have a tall basement like the other three. The floor start above the wheel wells rather than over the bed rails. You will have a larger climb in and out of bed and minimal basement storage compared to the other three.
If you plan to turn this into a redneck toy hauler, have you considered buying a travel trailer that could have the axle(s) pulled out and then set on your goose neck trailer? They are much less expensive and there are more floor plan choices.
I sometimes wish I had gotten a Ram 5500 but at the time when I was buying my current truck I was in a hurry. My old truck was fixin to breakdown so I got my Ram 3500 DRW. And yes I know the Lance has a lower floor height which is why they are at the bottom of my list. If I was to win the Lotto I'd deck out a awesome Host and get a Ram5500 with a custom bed.
Yes I have look at travel trailers and 5th wheel but the issue then becomes the overall length. If I was to get a 20' travel trailer I would then need a 36-38' deck behind the trailer for the Jeep and bike. Now my trailer is just getting way too long.
I had also been looking for a shorter toyhauler trailer so I could park the bike inside. But there aren't any I have found that would work how I have imagined.
I'm hoping to buy a camper in the next 2-4 months and use it on my truck for now and then 2-3 years when I'm ready to hit the road I can either make my RNTH or get something else that would work.
Any updates on your camper decision?
