Hi all,
Looking to buy my first truck camper, used. Looking relatively modern (less than 15 years old) with good construction and power jacks. Are there any models you recommend for this size truck? Any that you think would be ideal?
What should I look out for as a first time buyer? Thank you.
what other things are you looking for? we originaly bought a 1991 slumberqueen as it got me into the truck camper market for cheep. we are looking at upgrading next fall and have used the last 3 years to decide what we want in a new camper. I want a single slide, a forward bathroom, etc... I am looking at the same weight range as you and I have narrowed it down to eagal cap, adventure, lance, and artic fox. I ruled out bigfoot and northren light (both made localy to me) because they don't have the option for a slide. now if you don't have a 92 lb lab you may not need a slide which you could add them back in. at this time of year they are still way over priced for a new or used one and there is almost a year waiting list for new.
weight wise I am looking at around 3500lbs on the sticker plate to keep me in the range I can handle, you could go a little bit higher depending how much stuff you take with you for adventure, I am looking at there 910db has lots of outside storage that is usefull and a layout that we like.
