I wish I didn't have to be the one to tell you, sort of a finding out about Santa Claus moment here; Many, but not all, Truck Camper Manufacturers are less than truthful about the weights of their campers . . .
Sorry you had to learn it here.
While many manufacturers will share that these are just estimates and adding options will increase the base weight of these campers. But you wonder how that could be a discrepancy of 500 to 1000 lbs.?
I understand that the weight from Lance is different due to the added options. The weight on the sticker reflected that as opposed to the online specifications.
I know that we will not barreling down any steep mountain roads. We will be going from landlocked central FL to coastal FL (not even on the sand).
I know dealers will do anything to make the sale (car and RV). Family has more to lose and I trust my BIL's certified professional expert opinions and years of experience with Fords, RV's, and towing/tires as a technician. His employer(s) trust him. I also trust a close family friend (also Ford dealer) from former home.
This will be our third truck camper, just my first new truck camper. I would not say I am an expert though.bka0721 wrote:
Looking forward to seeing pictures of your new rig! And those important weights from your upcoming TA Scale visit. As well as a recap of what modifications you did do, to your truck.

I never wish anyone harm, but do like to learn from others and appreciate the feedback.
The next updates probably will not be until after the upcoming weekend.
