Re: Slideouts: Benefits and drawbacks
mlts22 wrote: The "U" shaped dinettes pretty much forced one to sit at the rear, while the slideout in the Lance 855S and the AF 811 allowed one to just slide in and sit. Do you/can you sit with the slide in? I know in the TT you were not suppose; we found out the hard way and had to have it repaired.322Views0likes0CommentsRe: F250 and lance 1050s

Truck and TC together weighed 12,500#. Previously weighed the truck at another scale, 8,400#. Neither of these weights were "scientific", as in pulling everything out and ensuring that only the truck, then truck and camper were weighed, but each of them is +/- 100#. So, I can confidently say that my new Lance 1050S weighs ~4,000# wet, leaving me with an additional 1,500# of capacity. The TC has all of the options, A/C (Coleman 11), two batteries, solar, furnace upgrade, microwave, generator, awnings, etc. This weight also includes the hitch extension and air bags, so it is representative of "going camping". I picked up my Lance 1050S in Phoenix also. Weight with pots, pans, linens, tools, clothes, food, miscellaneous, two batteries, water tank full, LPG full - my 2011 1050S came to ? What is youd truck?636Views0likes0CommentsRe: F250 and lance 1050s

What truck? What tires do you have? What is the weight on the rear axle?636Views0likes0CommentsRe: Thank you
The members posting have nothing to gain nor lose, they are posting based upon their knowledge and/or experiences So I just wanted to say thanks. The feedback I have received has been better than some of the 'experts' in the industry has offered. At minimum I have been directed to do more research. And to think, this (when I find the right fit) will be my third TC. Glad I never traveled far nor fast.179Views0likes0Comments
