Re: How many Lance 1172 owners out there?
We had a 17' 1172 on a 16 F350 Dually. Rain or Shine, it takes 8 minutes to lower the Rear Jacks and Open Both Slides just to get inside. On any surface that wasn't level, we found we had to lower the rear Jacks before entering to eliminated the street side Slide Out from sticking. We now own an SRW 18'F350 and 18' Lance 975. Never again will we own another multiple Slide truck Camper, it was a very expensive mistake.750Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking for advice on 19 F350 options
hedge wrote: in case you didn't know, the 11,400GVW option is actually a paper downgrade. 11,500 is the default for an F350 SRW True. Default is 11,500 lbs. F350 4x4, at minimum, Lariat Value pkg,(Heated and Cooled Seats are nice) 6.2 V8, 4:30 Locker, Medium Battery option (dual batteries) Up-Fitter Switches, Snow Plow/Camper pkg, 5th Wheel pkg, Cab Lights, LED Bed Lights and Tow Cameras. I suggest doing your own Bed Line X. The factory standard Halogen Headlights are terrible. The LED upgrade is worth every cent. Unfortunately it's only available in a Crew Cab configuration. The Fx4 option is truly worthless, just check the Skid Plate option for $100. Sync 3 is a wonderful thing, so is the Carpet Delete option. As far as Shift on the Fly .. I've never had a problem, plus I prefer the Bucket Seats and Center Console. BLIS option doesn't work with the Camper on, but it's great if you're towing. Adaptive Cruise Control is my new best friend, but it's also only available in Crew Cab.499Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Shocks?
I don't think you can go wrong with either Bilstien or Fox Shocks. They are both Industry leaders. The thing thats kind of unique to Truck campers and Shocks are, if you don't get adjustable Shocks, you're stuck with the firmer ride that most Performance Shocks offer when the truck is empty. No good, better or ??537Views0likes0Comments
