Hi, long time camper, but new to Truck Camper. Advice appreciated on TC selection:
I have a 2017 Ram 2500 SB, 6.7 Cummins. Looking for an 1-2 night camper for Oregon camping adventures so I don't need large tank reserves. I perfer an older Lance 815, but the Lance 650 is marketed as a lower weight TC. However, according to Lance, they are both about the same dry weight! I plan to use newer 8 ply tires with an E rating. At this point, if they were both campers are the same weight I'd prefer the camper with the lower side profile for sidewind safety. For the same money I'd get a better deal on an 815, but money is not a big issue.
What's the community take on a "safe" camper for my Ram 2500? Does the Lance 650 really handle like a smaller camper? How does either one handle on mountain roads?
Thanks in advance!!
