new camper (updated with pictures)

[timdan94]

well the wife and I went "looking" for truck campers at the Hershey show today. Well the "looking" turned into buying a new 2014 lance 855s with most options except genset and a few other options. We will be getting it as soon as it is in at parkview rv. we have a 2013 chevrolet 3500 srw with air bags. we traded our 08 815 in on it.

Congrats on the new rig. As far as upgrades, the two mods you've done so far may do the trick. Before adding a swaybar, Timbrens, etc... take it on a few test runs to see how you like (or dislike) the handling. You might find it works well as currently set up. Lots of good advice here on the board, but nothing like seat of the pants experience convincing you that you do or do not have a good setup.

I may not wait to use it. If we get some safe ice on the lakes I'm going to be going camping and ice fishing.

I put on Super Spring Swaystops and Rancho xl9000 shocks. Both were well worth it.
Im with you on not driving 7 hours to see the other campers. If warrenty work were needed that would be a long trip.

I envy you being the owner of a new camper. Nothing like getting something new and setting it up your way. I Hope you have a great time with the new Lance.
