Can we LIVE in our TRUCK CAMPER? | Colorado Camping in our Lance 825 Truck Camper

- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- We take our Lance 825 truck camper to Granby, Colorado for a seven day experiment to see what it was like to live and work out of the Lance. We not only spend an entire week camping in the most luxurious RV campground we've been to, but we go on daily adventures to explore dirt roads over mountain passes, hike to a waterfall in a national park, and try to find a secret natural hot spring.

Yes, you can live full-time in a Lance truck camper.
I have a 2018 850 Lance truck camper that I live full-time since I purchased it new. I went with no slide-out to save weight and additional maintenance issues. I also have a cargo trailer to haul my toys and extras. I do not own a house and have no interest in buying one. I love the freedom of travel.
I joke that if I don't like my neighbors, I can get new ones within minutes.
If I don't like the weather, then simply drive until I do.
You are living the dream! Safe travels!
What size cargo trailer do you have? Also what truck?
If you are camping and it gets really windy , let those jackstands down to the ground for stability
Yes thank you! We always kinda forget we have them 😆
Really enjoyed your video and the awesome scenery. I love your truck camper. Also your presentation was very nicely presented. Looking forward to the next one. I love America and the countryside and the small towns so different from here in New Zealand. Cheers.
Thank you! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our videos all the way in New Zealand! Wow! 🤗
Terrific video. Loved seeing the young Osprey fly and the parents call out. Very informative and interesting video. Will be watching regularly!! Good variety of info
Thank you so much! And welcome to our channel! The Osprey family was definitely a highlight of the trip.
I loved the Osprey learning to fly.
Us too! They are so cute!
Black canyon is high on our list of places and your camper looks great!
Thank you so much! Gunnison is definitely worth the drive!
Y’all are doing a great job! Have a wonderful week! Jane in SC❤🙏🏻
Thank you!!
You guys rock …. I enjoy your stories.
Thank you! We’re so happy to hear that!
I just subscribed. For me thanks it’s was an enjoyable video to watch. I liked Granby and the camp site Hope to see more. Til then may Peace Health and Happiness follow you and yours
Thanks so much! It makes us so happy to hear that. Welcome to our channel!
Beautiful, Thank you.
Thank you!
You had me at catching up on disc golf
Just subscribed. I grew up in CA, but, from KS, we made a stop and spent a yr in Rangely, CO while my dad taught school. I remember it very well. A beautiful state
Welcome to our channel! We have yet to see that corner of Colorado, but it’s on our list!
Wow, amazing campground lakes and scenery
That area really is beautiful!
I live in grand lake but work in Granby. The Colorado river actually starts here it’s from all the snow that melts. If you went down the river you would go through the grand canyon and out through the Gulf of Mexico.
I have a 2020 F250 and currently tow a travel trailer but looking at the 650 and 825 like you have. I’m full time living and traveling the Us and Mexico so I’m thinking about getting a cargo trailer to go behind my truck. Baja in the winter is awesome
How cool! That sounds like the dream!! We were between the same two truck campers, but went with the 825 for the bigger bathroom. You really can’t go wrong with either though. Good luck and safe travels!
Little did you guys know they had 2 entrances to that hot springs one you park on the road 😂. Little further hike. Great camping spots in that valley we go out like 4 times a summer just to camp out there.
That’s awesome! We actually looked for that second entrance but found the road lined with no parking signs and crawling with rangers 😅 It’s hard to be sneaky with our rig!
Have you considered unloading the Lance at the campsite? We did it often to free up the truck for exploring. Just a thought...
That's what we do with our Artic Fox 1150, look for a set of RV snap pads for the jack bases and take a look at the Stablecamper system, we did both and our camper is solid with very little movement when off the truck 👍
We’ve thought about it, but we really love having access to our kitchen, bathroom and work stuff while we are out exploring. We can also be a little impulsive so if we change plans mid-day we already have everything with us and don’t need to return to the campground.
@@dmac5497 Thanks for the info! If we do decide to unload it we will definitely look into that!
Do you have airbags installed on your truck?
@skoffco Our Ram 3500 has the factory air ride and it holds our 1150 very well and level, upgraded the rear sway bar and that's been it.
Smoke means, no mosquitoes 😉
New subscriber, stumbled on your videos while considering a similar travel rig. I enjoy your video style, very similar to another I follow, Bound For Nowhere.
Thank you so much! Welcome to our channel!
هفته خوبی داشته باشید
❤🍀🍀🌺🌺🙏🙏
You make awesome videos!
Thank you so much!
That canyon is beautiful. I couldnt get next tot he edge like that though. Something happens to my brain dealing with heights.
It was super pretty!
What the mpg your guys are getting? I'm loving your channel, by the way!!!🤩😍
Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear that! On average we probably get around 10-11mpg.
Great video but I think it's really sad you wouldn't let him drive down that really simple not complicated road. The whole point of getting out is not feel limited like that in your truck is more than capable. Let the man live a little. Don't be controlling as it does not make for much of a good video honestly. Just saying what others might be thinking. You guys are great.
How can you call it an adventure if your heart isn’t racing on a daily basis
Great work!
What year is your Lance? Thanks!!
Thank you!! Ours is a 2021
Great video!
Thank you!
I watch all the RV youtubers and their content has gotten boring and repetitive. I just want them to show me where they went and what they did! That’s exactly you do, keep it up!
@@jasontaylor1920 awe thanks! We’re so happy you enjoy our channel!
Pro tip used drier sheets and water removes insects from the front of your camper and vehicle with ease. There is no need for chemicals or high-pressure washers.
Thanks for the tip! We’ll have to give it a try!
Great video, what do you both do for remote jobs?
Thank you! We both do freelance work in marketing/design.
WE, WE, WE, tou mean ME, ME want.
Whoops! Meant to say piss.
Could you turn down the music? It's louder than your voice so if the volume is turned up to hear what you're saying, the music in between is WAY too loud...it needs to be LOWER than your voice so the volume can be set to hear you clearly, then when the music comes on it's more like background (softer) music. Otherwise, it's a constant turning down the volume (music), then up (voice), then down (music) throughout your entire video (annoying). Can't you also hear that difference when you listen/review the video before posting it?
Thanks,

I don't have any issue with the music being too loud. Maybe it's your TV or your hearing 🤔
I agree on the music the up and down to loud and the same song for 26 minutes! Just a little feedback great video otherwise thanks👍
@@mrmorrison299 Thank you for the feedback! We’re new to this and are learning as we go, and appreciate all the help along the way!

@@thewaywedidit Well, I noticed it some time back in earlier videos, but was hoping by now it would have been fixed, especially IF you heard it also. If you're NOT hearing any difference, then you probably can't fix it. But I sure can, as if the music is maybe 2X the volume of your voice. I hope you CAN fix it, as you don't want anything like this discouraging people from watching your videos...especially from beginning to end.
Maybe the video editing program you use has some sort of "normalize" function for audio, to make everything the same volume level? I don't make/edit RUclips videos so I don't know what programs are used to produce them, but I have worked with music files (MP3s) making music collections to put on USB drives for my car (long road trips) and the software had a "normalize" feature I used so all the songs would have the same volume level. I got the songs from various sources so some had a low volume while others had a higher volume -- that needed fixing. Otherwise, if the collection was NOT normalized, I'd have to mess with the radio's volume control (turn some songs up and others down) WAY too often.
Thanks for your attention,

What is a kiduknot
“Kid you not” meaning I’m not kidding when I tell you there is a bowling alley at the campground 😂
I fell asleep, what happened?
It’s a nice place but they are draconian with their rules. I would not stay there again. Plus, with all the amenities, there’s only about 2 to 3 washing machines for hundreds of campsites. The wind was relentless every single day.
We’re sorry you had a bad experience! We think it’s under new management now, but we did have some trouble getting in touch with them.
WTF, video has nothing to do with title 😤
Zzzzzzzzzz………
