Hello,I am in the process of moving from a truck camper to a 5th wheel. I've had 3 truck campers over the last decade or so and the family has outgrown them. Two of the truck campers were Lance (825 and 915), and there weren't that many brands and/...
I'm considering purchasing a 2004 Lance Lite 915, but I had some questions that I got the typical "I'm trying to sell you this camper" answers, but I was hoping to get some outside perspective from you folks. 1.) There is no AC in the unit. AC is req...
Hey all, I'm in the initial planning stages of a first time winter camping trip. Here is what I'm planning: Early Jan ish, 5-7 nights in Flagstaff, AZ. Camping at a mix of established campgrounds (water/electric/sewer available) and "boondocking" rem...
So I've been looking into getting a new truck, and I've enjoyed my current set-up and I'm thinking I would like to go the same route. I currently have a 2008 F-250 CC short bed V10. The camper is a 2000 Lance Lite 825 (basically an 815 with permanent...
I currently have atwood manual jacks on a 2000 Lance 825. I'm looking to upgrade to electric jacks. Any suggestions? What do I need to modify on the camper to make this work right? Is one yellow top optima enough to work this? Should I expect to have...
Thanks for the breakdown. I would like to boondock more, but more so in the national forests, and less so in urban areas, so I feel like we could still get to regular campgrounds and occasional national forest primitive areas. As for weights, I see...
My apologies. Per the 2016 towing guide, the 5th wheel towing capacity is 15,700 lbs (F-350 CC, Diesel, 4x4, SRW, 3.55). I still have the torklift upper and lower stable loads and 19.5 commercial tires and wheels, so I'm assuming I'll keep those it...
Thank you guys for the responses.Wayne,Since you installed a 9,200 BTU unit, you seem more than happy with it. The previous camper I had (2000 Lance Lite 825) had a 13,500 Brisk Air and it was definitely good enough. Is a 9,200 BTU AC enough for this...
You're right, I didn't account for any weight of passengers, which again adds to my problem. Like others have said, I also agree that the curb weight of the truck is low based on the options i would most likely put into it. Sorry to drag this discuss...
