Truck Camper Wanted

[JMcCoy]

I am looking for a hard side truck camper to fit my long bed '98 2500. I am trying to keep it under 3,000 lbs. loaded. Something in the size range of a Lance 850, Bigfoot 2500, or equivalent. Thank you

How about a Northern Lite 1010. It's about the same as a Bigfoot. Both made in Canada.

Northern Lite is the best truck camper made. Five star rated according to RV Consumer Group. Lance, Arctic Fox and a few others are 4 star rated.

I have also been looking at Northern lites. They are also on the top of my list. JVojir, I would be very interested in your camper. The only problem I can think of is that you are in Washington state, and I am in Florida. I am willing to travel, but that may be a little far. I would not rule it out though. How much are you asking? What Year? If it will not work for me, someone closer may be interested.

BTW, I did look at an Arctic Fox. It appeared to be awesome, but it was massive, with a large slide. They are known to be heavy though. I didn't buy it because it had major water damage, and they wanted a fortune.

Thank you both for your replies.

Are you still in the market for that Lance Camper? I have an LC480 9.6, 1988 model in very nice shape. It has a/c and 12 volt swamp cooling. Everything works, and I just had it back at the Lance factory for a checkup and some sprucing up a couple of months ago. I carry it on a 95 Ram 2500 4x2 12v with standard Firestone airbag assist. I believe it's about 2300 lbs. dry. If interested, I believe we could make a northern CA vacation worth your while. We are 4'hours north of Reno on US Hwy 395. You can contact me at -- email address removed -- to answer any questions. I can also send pics. Deanna

Thank you so much for the offer. We found a Lance 950 a couple hundred miles away. Ithe is a little big and more expensive than I wanted, but I believe it will work. I hope you sell yours soon. Thank you very much.

Glad you found something
to your liking. Good luck and enjoy.

Hi JMcCoy, was it the Arctic Fox 990 in Melbourne FL you saw ?

 

[JMcCoy]

The one I saw was in West Palm Beach, FL. It could have made its way north though. Are you looking at one?

Not too many AF's here in FL, I sold mine and was wondering if you were one who may have looked at it. I do regret selling it. Hopefully I'll get another TC one day to go back on my 3500.
