- backlaterExplorerThanks everyone for your responses and great advice! We decided to attend the Texas Truck Camper Rally in April and take advantage of the open house tours and learn everything we can from the pros before we make a purchase. We are really looking forward to going and learning.
Thanks again,
Ruth and Jay - billtexExplorer II

Look at used ones, there are used ones in every craigs list, start there narrow it down by brand and layout, then buy a nice under used camper. We just bought a 2nd owner 10.6" Lance 2003 1071 , every thing is perfect,$13,000 gen with 31 hrs., 100w solar, etc. 1/3 the price of new and the bugs have been fixed let the first buyer get the hit
13k for an 11 yr old camper? YIKES... - 805greggExplorerLook at used ones, there are used ones in every craigs list, start there narrow it down by brand and layout, then buy a nice under used camper.

- Xpd77ExplorerI have a 2014 AF 811 an hour north of Louisville KY. About 6 hours from you. You are welcome to come up if you want.
- backlaterExplorerJoe417...we sent you a private message
- GeoBoyExplorerI know that they are further away than 6 hours but Truck Camper Warehouse in NH, has both brands and others side by side for comparison. No tax either.
Good luck. - SheriffdougExplorerContact Dave Frampton, General Manager at Adventurer LP/Eagle Cap davef@amlrv.com
Or call Melissa! Reception at Eagle Cap, (509) 895-7064.
They have records via warranty registration cards for every camper sold, and they may be able to put you in contact with an Eagle Cap Camper owner(s) in your area. Tell them what models you are interested in.
I have an EC1160, well built, fantastic! You need a Dually pickup.
Best Wishes, Doug - Joe417ExplorerI'm about 2 hours south of Chattanooga. I would guess that's 4 1/2 to 5 from Ashville. We have an 05' AF990 which is very similar to the newer ones. Your welcome to take a look.
We had the same problem, so while visiting Indiana we made a trip to Grand Rapids to look. That made up our mind. Later found a used one and drove 6 hours to see it. The seller was motivated so we brought it home.
A friend was interested and drove an hour to see our AF and then 3 days to pickup the up one he bought in Idaho.
Be careful, you do realize they are contagious. - backlaterExplorerWe just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your helpful input...we know we are going to love owning a truck camper and being in such great company!
Ruth and Jay - billtexExplorer III think you will find both AF and EC to be high quality, well built campers. We spent a lot of time looking at both last year before we purchased. Splitting hairs really...it came down to bath size and dinette size for SB for us.
We looked at other brands as well, but quickly ruled them out.
Have fun, take pics/note to compare.
