Slide in campers

Can anyone recommend a slide in camper for a short bed 02 F250 4X4?
I want something light and basic.The Lance Lite 815 looks good so far from the brochures I have.I want to go on the beach mostly and a couple trips a year within 8 hours.Usually by myself,sometimes 1 other person.I'm new to this and am just starting my research,Thanks

Had A Real-lite In The Early 90's. Nice Slide In. Aluminum Bird Cage Frame, Figerglass Skin, Some Composition On Inside & Inside Covering. Nice Strong, Warm & Very Light Weight. Was Told Company Changed Names, Bankrupcy, Reorganization Etc. Expensive At The Time, But Wort It.

Make sure you look at Campers made for Short Box Trucks. It makes a big difference in the design for the center of the load. Denny

Do you have a crew cab? Might not be adviseable since the 05 crew cab(with short bed) comes with a no slide in camper warning in the glove box........

My 2003 f-250 super duty has asuper cab. The dealer added a rear anti- sway bar.
that along with the other components [heavy duty springs etc.] should complete
the camper package. If anyone else has a similar truck and camper I would be interested in any comments they may have.
