JoePa Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 I bought a Lance slide-in camper back in 2005 - at the same time I bought an 2005 F350 PU - I travel all over the place with it and pull a boat at the same time - I'll tell you something - I really enjoy having this outfit - the camper is fully contained so I don't have to stop at a campground - got all the things in it that I ever want - but yes I need a pretty heavy truck because the camper when loaded with propane and water weighs around 2900 lbs. - the truck you have is a bit light for a slide-in
pike slayer Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks for replies guys. I see most recommend a tent. I've done it for years with my buddies camping out in the bush and camping on islands. This is to roughing it for my wife. She wants some at home comforts like a bed and table and the feeling of something more then some canvas between her and a curious bear. I'm leaning towards a tent trailer and deck out my 12' to make more comfy. We just love taking the top off our jeep and go for a ride to the lake.
Fisherman Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 Pick yourself up a Yamaha generator. I love mine!!! Has things the Honda's don't. Like a fuel shut off and a fuel gauge. Hondas have the fuel shut off built into the on/off switch. It has a fuel gauge too, when there's no rum rum, it's empty.
