Lance 805

That 805 is an all out FAIL. “Targeting the overlanding half ton crowd”???

Roflmao. It looks nice but “overlanding” and full height shiny white full size tc and overlanding don’t really belong in the same sentence. 
AND getting a full size TC with no bathroom is like ordering a new F250 without air conditioning. It just makes no sense. 
it has zilch for water capacity (maybe useful to have more than 2 5 gallon buckets of water when you’re in the boonies, “overlanding”. 
weight isn’t bad. For those who say it’s not suitable for a half ton, they’re wrong. 
You’ll have to beef up the suspension, just like most tc/truck combos unless going overkill on the truck. 
And being a lance they probably are asking $30k or more new! 
Itsa fail. Any number of 8’ campers I’d select before this overpriced lack of basic features model.

And aside from the few rare, odd longbed reg cab 1/2 tons out there, it’ll hang 3’ off the back of any 6’ bed class truck. And the jacks hanging down. Yup that just screams overlanding to me….lol

In reality, it will be too heavy for a 1500 class truck.  Once you add the basic necessities like water, propane, battery and then your personal things like food, clothing, pots, pans, dinnerware, etc it will be well over 2,000 lbs and in a 2500 class truck range.  Remember, many 2500's are limited to around 2,500lbs.  I also am not a fan of the odd shelving versus cabinets.  You can elect to go to just about any other Lance model for a few hundred ponds and get a much nicer camper.
