Riverside White Water Campers
I've been looking for a camper for a while now. While the new AF and Lance units are nice, they sure as hell aren't $30k nice IMHO. They're also heavy as hell, and while my diesel dually can carry...

Hoag,
Last week I checked craigslist Sacramento and Reno/Tahoe and saw several pretty good looking lightweight, hard side campers for sale. Beyond that, TC's for sale are all over the place here. If you are in No. Nevada this could be a good place to start looking. Remember, it's usually worth it to widen your search area to about 500 miles + to get enough prospects to weigh.
And, just remember your attitude is all on this list. You are facing a LOT of people who know truck campers, inside and out. I don't claim to be one of these, but only my observation. They will offer to help directly related to your attitude, beer not withstanding.
So, widen your search area; hope to get lucky. My bro John has a saying, "just worry through it." Good advice.
Oh, and just for the record, my 16 yr. old Lance Lite is probably in better shape than when I bought it for $6500, 13 yrs. ago, at least on the inside. Maintenance is the key. However, since i take it off-road, thru the trees, and over hill and dale, you are half right, as it has been whacked repeatedly with the ugly stick. Time rolls on; we have camped hundreds of night in it, and it's still there, ready to camp on.
regards, as always, jefe
