2018 F350 Lariat with a 2000 LanceLite 825. This will be the first and last time the camper will be on this truck. Camper is for sale.
I pick up a 2019 Lance 865 next week. I needed to trial all the updates I did to truck [Hellwig Big Wig Rr sway bar, Torklift tie downs] before I drive out of state to get the new camper. The 2018 truck hauls the camper better than the prior 2011 350 that I had.

Truck Camper across the pond - our new to us 2007 Bigfoot 2500 series - only had her for 7 weeks and we love it - have just downsized from a travel trailer.
Our truck is only 10,000lbs but has the camper package and with airbags it handles just fine - I fill the airbags and then bleed off air until the helper springs are just starting to work - this equates to about 50-55psi - lots of little jobs to do and also a substantial solar system to fit.

This looks almost exactly like our 2016 Bigfoot. We have the floor plan where the bathroom is in the back across from the kitchen sink. We just got back from a 4 day trip. We are in Oklahoma City, OK.

Sorry - that's restricted info, right up there with my SSN and favorite fishing holes.

Haha! Just gotta keep an eye out for bears. This time out we saw a bison heard across the main river on the other side of the valley.

Great trip!

Looks like fun! I like your idea with the solar panel. Our Host Mammoth camper comes 'solar ready' but I don't want to drill through the roof to mount a panel. It'll probably be next year before I'm ready to add it in but will probably do something very similar to you. Thanks for the pics!
