Planning Upgrade
Looking at Lance 855s campers as my Lance 650 lacks some storage and tank capacity. I am also going to have to get a bigger truck but would like to stay with single rear wheel. Can anyone share there ...

We were driving a '16 Ram 3500 SRW (Air Lift 5000 bags, Roadmaster sway bar, LT295/70/18 Michelins) with a NL 8-11 on-board. Occasionally the wind gusts were forceful enough to momentarily pop the upper part of my door away from the weatherstipping. There was also some distinct, momentary rocking during the higher wind gusts, but it required very little steering correction. Bottom line, I was pleasantly surprised how stable everything was.
. . . I now get a big kick out of people who say you need a DRW to haul a 4500lb. camper. I have 2,500 miles on a SRW with 19.5's and I can tell you that so far it is a dream to drive, but haven't been in 40 mph winds just yet, so maybe I will be proven wrong.
