- After a lot of research and watching many RUclips videos about all the different makes and models of truck campers we finally got one of our very own. Let me take you on a basic tour, showing you the inside.
Great tour. Can’t wait to get ours!! You are going to enjoy it so much!
You’ll love your Lance. We went from a huge 5th wheel to a 915 Lance. It’s so easy to get around in the truck and jump into the camper when you need to. Spend time outdoors and enjoy life. I like all of the new features and finishes of a new Lance. Thanks and enjoy!
My wife and I love our truck camper. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your camper. Good job.
Thanks! I’m excited to start traveling in it!
Congrats, super excited to see how this comes along. We're shopping for one also and Lance is a front runner for us! God bless, safe travels!
Thanks! We look forward to sharing our experiences!
Really nice camper, congrats enjoy the adventures!
Thank you for the tour! I'm doing research now for a truck camper. Trying to figure out the best one for us. I like yours! Looking forward to seeing some of your adventures! Stay safe..
Thanks for watching! Wishing you the best in finding a truck camper! You will love it!
Thank you for the tour, that camper is beautiful, great video👍
Thanks so much!
Congratulations hope your having a good time with your camper, we purchased our 825 in 2018, after adding hold downs and air bags to our 2015 Tundra we've been everywhere!
Very Nice! I purchased my 2004 "815" in 2011 and I have yet no regrets.
I hope you two enjoy your adventures! Be well and safe. :)
Thanks so much!
Very nice...way to go by purchasing from original buyer and avoid that 1st hit depreciation wise. I did the same purchasing my 2004 "815" Lance ten years ago and it's still going strong.
I love that camper and the bed layout is the best I’ve seen so nobody is crawling over anybody to get out of bed.
Nice Camper. I've lived in a state in truck camper for 3 years now still in it. I chose the Adventurer 89rb model. It's on a long bed for diesel. I chose mine for off-grid camping I have 42 gallons of fresh water which is a lot for a truck camper. I hope you have many many years of enjoyable use from your new camper.
Nice rig. Thanks for sharing and Happy camping
Very nice!!! My wife and myself are looking at getting a truck camper. Thanks for the walk thru.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on your new camper! My wife and I have just purchased our first truck camper as well and are excited to hit the road. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you so much!
We have truck slide in camper and love.
I love this layout!
Really nice camper. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks a lot for doing this. It was very helpful.
Very nice camper not my cup of tea but I know you guys love the woods and the hiking so I’ll be anxious to see you when you get it all stocked it certainly is compact I’m glad you like your bathroom the best
What a great looking camper! I'm sure you're enjoying it a lot by now! We're in an Artic Fox 990 and loving it. Happy trails. Noelle
Thanks for a real nice review of that truck camper… I’m thinking of getting one similar and it was very helpful - thank you👍😉
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
New here hit red button. We love west Virginia the beautiful mountain state. We had a lance 845 years ago loved it. We want another truck camper. Nice setup. Blessed travels and hiking. We love all that stuff
I really like that one, it’s nice! The previous owner took really good care of it.
Love the Lance campers. Very high quality. We have a 865 on a Ford F-350. This provides a stress free economical go anywhere package. We boondock most of the time. We added a second battery and carry a Honda 2200 inverter generator. Also added a front hitch to carry dual sport or bicycles. Good choice! Enjoy!
I am switching over from a light truck and RV to a truck camper. I am between the Lance 825 and 850. I am also needing to buy a new truck. How is the F-350? Do you have gas or diesel? I am looking at the super cab option (not a dually). What are the specs of your F-350? We also have a Honda 2200. Does it fit in the rear storage compartment? How long do the batteries last with the solar charger? I am looking to use the camper as a winter vehicle and boondock in the parking lots of the ski hills, so I would like to know how kong i can go with the heat running full time. Have you winter camped yet? Wondering about the efficiency of the 2 propane bottles as well. Appreciate any information. Thanks. Jay
@@jaytabac6525 The Honda 2200 generator will fit in the 825s outside compartment. 👌
welcome aboard,your going to love the freedom that it will give you on the road
Thank you very much! We are very excited to start traveling!
Awesome! Another Lance owner. We also just bought a new Lance truck camper this past summer and we love it.We had been looking at campers for years and finally decided on a truck camper for so many reasons to list. Your channel popped up and I noticed you have been to several places in Virginia where we live. Maybe we will see you in our travels. We live near Roanoke. Thanks for sharing your travel videos.
Thanks great to know your a satisfied Lance owner! We are super excited to start adventures in ours! Thanks for watching!
Very exciting! Thanks for sharing 😃
Thanks 😊
Welcome to the Lance Truck Family. I have a 2006 950. The truck camping life is great. You can go and park any time.
Thank you! We are so excited to get out there with it.
Great video and tour! I want one of these and cannot find any!!! Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome and good luck! 👍🏻
The 825 is difficult to find for sure…especially out east.
Very nice. Good luck. Be safe and be Happy.
Picking up my 825 next week, can't wait!
We are loving it so far!!
Very nice looking setup guys. We just picked up our 2019 Host Mammoth Truck camper out of Bend Oregon last week, (we live in central Idaho). Because of Covid we want something that we feel safe traveling in without having to deal with airlines and motels our first planned big trip will be in May to see our Grandson who turns 1 on June 4th. This is our first truck camper as well so we’ll be watching you guys and see what we can learn. 😎
We looked at the Host but decided to keep the weight down. There is many options and we even considered the soft side truck camper. I’m so happy with the Lance and excited to go traveling in it! I will definitely be sharing our adventures!
Congrats! It looks cool!
Thanks!
Nice camper. We ended up getting a 2015 850. The fridge is larger in the 850. Also two batteries and two propane tanks. Other than that they are very similar. I have a Ram duelly 4x4. I put a Big Wig sway bar and airbags on it. Also onboard air. It will go anywhere I want to take it and beyond.
Nice Rig
Best of Luck
I have the 865, but next one will be 825. Thought I needed the sink in the bath, but often just use kitchen sink now. Looks like more room in your bath for showering. Also have never used the oven for baking. I keep the bunk down for storage. Stuff is handy for running out the door without opening cupboards. Will look for you on the road. Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Great job good luck
Great video. I’m ordering a new Lance and this video really helps. I think you have the Royal Interior which is the blue color and that’s what I’m getting. Thanks for posting.
You will love it! Thanks for watching!
Very nice. I bought a Lance 825 in 2010. I loved it! My wife and dog and I traveled all across America Canada, Alaska we saw about 15 national parks and around 20-30 nation forests maybe more we stayed at a hundred plus campgrounds . In the end we did about 22,000 miles. My point is that we put that Lance through its paces! From being up above the Arctic Circle to Key West . The 825 is a solid camper! It does have its draw backs but you can work around it. Like only one propane tank no generator and only one battery but like I said you can work around it plus we went remote a lot and carried extra everything. Enjoy the experience! I will definitely be getting another 825 or 650 soon for sure.
Wow that’s impressive! We hope to travel that much there is definitely so much still to see and we have loved it so far! Thanks for sharing and watching!
Thanks for sharing. What happened to the original 825. If you do not mind sharing what might go wrong with this model and pay attention to based on your experience. What’s the life expectancy/depreciation like? Thank you.
I hope you guys have fun times
Thanks 😊
We are retiring in 3 years, and this is the truck camper we want to get. Looks amazing! It's so fun to find fellow Godly channels on RUclips. They are few and far between! God bless y'all! ❤
I’m so excited for you to get your truck camper! Yes it’s absolutely a blessing to have other Godly channels and RUclips friends. ❤️
@@heavenlyhikesandtravels241 Thank you and Amen! ❤
Nice enjoy adventures. Congratulations
Thx for the walkthrough. I didn't know Lance has the overhead bunk option. Looking at these for weekend warrior camping but I need sleeping space for my 2 young boys.
You’re very welcome!
Nice choice 👍🏻
Looks brilliant👌🏻
Thanks!
Very nice set up: )
Thanks!
That is a beautiful bathroom
Great rig!
Thanks!
Nice Camper, we love our 851, just subscribed 👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks so much!
enjoy your camper
I’m excited for you guys. I have owed 3 motor homes b+ and two small C’s. Have not decided yet on the next camper. I’ll subscribe and see how you like it. My biggest unknown is how will I like having to get out of truck to enter camper. With motor homes you just get out of drivers seat and you are in the camper. Safe and dry and can get to the bathroom fast lol
Thanks we are excited to start traveling!
That’s a really good point.
I remember when I was a kid, we had hand crack the camper on and off one person in each corner.
Hi Brad, love your videos. I love the 825 and I plan to contact you after the holiday weekend. The bathroom sold me. Hard to find a wet bath with that much room to stand. No reason to have a sink on a small bathroom like that. I thought I was going to get a class B van, but the lack of a decent shower and lack of towing capacity turned me off to them, not to mention the ridiculous amount of money I am saving buying a new truck and camper. I hate the small three way fridge. Is it because there are no compressor fridges that small? I think I could fit to six packs and not much more. The space needed for a 1.3 cu three way must take up a lot of room in the back. I imagine a larger compressor fridge could be larger. Is there an option for that? I would rather have no fridge than what it comes with.
Good luck enloy every minute of camping
Thanks so much!
Good Morning, I love the 825 and am considering purchasing one. My only concern is the fact that it has only 1 battery and one propane tank. (as opposed to the 850 that has 2 batteries and 2 propane tanks) My intention is to use the camper for winter skiing off-grid. Have you had the opportunity to camp out in the coder weather this winter? Do you find that you are running out of propane quickly? Do you carry and additional propane tank just in case? Also, how has your battery life been with the solar charger on the roof? Sorry for all of the questions, but i am seriously considering the 825 vs. the 850 and these issues are important for me to try and figure out. Thanks. Jay
We have 2 battle born lithium batteries that were added by the man we bought our camper from. We spent 10 days in March out in Utah and never had any issues with the batteries running low. We also were surprised that one propane tank lasted almost the whole time and that was using it for heat, cooking, and running the fridge. I have a video all about our trip called our trip review. Thanks for watching!
Great Content Thanks For Sharing
Not sure if this was already stated, but the thing that you said might be the propane is in fact the hot water heater. It is run on propane, so you were on the right track. I have a 2008 Lance 825. It is my first camper too, but I have owned it for a few years now. Hit me up if you have any questions that maybe I can help with?
Thanks! I later learned it was the hot water tank. 😂
Thank you👍
Could you please recommend the best truck for a 2013 Livin' Lite / Camp Lite CLTC10, 2,190 lbs/ slide in truck camper?
Brochure requires a 3/4 ton (or higher) 8 foot bed and I’m partial to dually as the back end squats with full tanks.
I would very much appreciate any help from anyone in the know. Thank you so much.
Following... what the size truck you folks have ? Oops had I read all the comments I would have seen... sorry
Very nice!
Thanks we enjoyed all your walk through videos! You do a great job!
Nice. Thank you.
Have you done any suspension modifications to the truck? Air bags? Or anything like that
Yes we added airbags.
We just started looking at buying a truck camper. We have a long bed truck. From your narrative, the load of yours will work for us. I do wonder if you like the wet bath? How do you keep it clean and dry it after a shower. Thanks!
We love the wet bath! It is very easy to clean. I use a squeegee to wipe the walls down and turn on the fan which helps dry it quickly.
Lance builds good campers. A bit rich for my blood, but well worth the money you're spending.
A Fresca girl! I knew I’d like your channel!
Yes I love my Fresca!! It was so hard to find during the pandemic I was going through withdrawal. 😂
Seems like good size wet bath
Does the camper have connections to the truck's taillights? Type brake light, arrow, reverse light.
Yes
Nice Camper
how is the 6.4 hemi hauling a camper like that? stuck between a hemi or diesel. Also any suspension mods done to the truck?
We have a video that goes over all the details of our truck and set up.
I just received a bid for one of these $35,000 msrp. I know it will cost the RV dealer about $20,000 hope they come down on the price some.
very good
Hi do you happen to know why they don’t put a window in the cab over front? Back in the day campers had a window in the cab over facing forward..
I have no idea why but it would be nice. Some brands do have windows there but ours doesn’t.
Nice camper....
Thank you! We are enjoying it!
That's a huge bathroom! Gorgeous camper!
In that cabinet was a insulated hot water tank storage and not a propane tank.
What make and model pickup do you have this camper on? Thanks. Oh, and what length is your truck bed? Many many thanks!!
2020 Ram 2500, short bed
We have another video where we give more details on our set up if your interested.
@@heavenlyhikesandtravels241 thank you. I have a 2019 chvey 2500. 5.5 truck bed. Would the 825 fit my truck? Thanks.
@@jsmith71251 I’m not sure that is a question you might want to ask a Lance dealer. Sorry it’s just hard to say.
Nice camper. You won’t be disappointed. I bought my first camper last fall a 2007 Lance 992 has 2 slide outs. The camper was immaculate and hardly used. Bought the camper and truck as a package. 2008 GMC 3500 dually diesel. First thing I did was read all the manuals on all the appliances and familiarize yourselves with everything. Set it up in your driveway on your truck and try everything out and sleep in it before you go on your first trip. We only took a couple of short trips before winter but are looking forward to more trips this year. Safe travels. Those campers are top heavy so take it easy.
Thanks for the advice! We are getting it ready to take out soon!
What truck did you use model,make ,1/2 ton,3/4 ton,1 ton ECT.?
I can answer all your questions in my other video detailing our complete set up.
What do you like about the Truck camper as opposed to a travel trailer?
We like the ability to go to places we couldn’t get a travel trailer into. There has been several locations we have boondocked or driven that a travel trailer would simply not be able to go. We also like how easy it is to park in a normal spot no need to find RV parking. We have absolutely loved traveling in our truck camper. However we understand that everyone is different and it might not work for others like it has for us. We have a video on our channel giving all our reasons why we love our truck camper of your interested. Thanks for watching and asking
Are you using a ram 2500 to carry it? If so how is the sway and drive with the camper on?
Yes and we got a set of airbags so it feels great didn’t notice much sway if any.
@@heavenlyhikesandtravels241 thanks for your video! It is really helpful! I’m trying to decide between RAM 2500 and 3500. Recent 2500 has coil springs in the rear. Is it true to your truck? So you can still add airbag and sway bar to rear with coil spring?
@@raulgool yes you can. We have the airlift 5000 and are right at capacity. We have never had a issue and with the airbags we don’t notice much sway. Truck camper rides smooth in our opinion. Hope that helps.
Hi I’m your new channel very beautiful I love to have one
couldnt see for sure, is that a 3/4t or a 1t?
We have a 3/4t. I believe the dry weight of the camper is 1900 lbs and we have a payload capacity of 3100 lbs.
Great review! It would look better on a Chevy though.
Safe travels
That is the one I want I'm trying to get the money up getting truck and camper
You won’t be sorry it’s a fantastic camper we love it!
A 2022 RAM RAM 2500 Power Wagon crew cab 4X4 has 1564lbs as Maximum Payload Capacity. Yet a 2021 Lance 825 wet weight is 2,722 lbs. Does your camper weight exceed the Maximum Payload Capacity of your truck?
Our payload capacity is 3100 lbs and the dry weight of camper is around 1900 lbs so we good. We also added airbags to give added stability. Check out my other video where I go over details.
I have joined the Lance truck camper FB page and a lot of people there go with the Torklift timbrens (I may be writing this wrong) , some put in airbags and some mention the Helwig sway bar. I guess it depends on your truck and which model you buy.
Really nice camper like the light colors inside. Check the weight limit on your truck it’s really important that you do so. thank you great video.
Excelent
cual es el peso maximo y largo del piso?
How much?
Do you mind telling me how much you spent? We’re looking into purchasing one!
We bought it used for $28,000 found it on RV Trader.
We just ordered the same 825 and its costing $36.000 brand new from the factory loaded with extras.
There are so many truck camper manufactures out there to choose from, it can get overwhelming. Why did you choose the Lance Model 825, and why a truck camper and not a travel trailer?
Good question! We knew we wanted a truck camper because of the accessibility to more areas to camp. Bigger RVs and travel trailers we feel limit where you can go. We also like to explore areas and move every day where we camp and the truck camper makes that easy. We looked for months and many different styles and models of truck campers. Adam saw a Lance 825 on RV Trader and we went to look at it and instantly knew it was the one. Lance campers are rated one of the best out there and it felt roomier than some of the others we looked at. Hope that answer your questions. Thanks for watching!
We researched for months too and ended up buying the Lance 825 for our RAM 2500 4x4 short bed hemi 3/4 ton. One reason for Lance is its reputation for quality built, environmentally friendly with no harmful materials like formaldehyde being built in CA. We chose this particular model due to the lighter weight, in spite of no oven, only 2 burner stove, and one propane tank. We did get the one solar panel and bought our own 2200 Honda inverter generator to enable off grid camping..
Our other reason for a Truck Camper vs a trailer was the fact that it would take up less room being stored when not in use and we can still use our truck every day.
.
We have a slide in truck camper. You will love it..
It seems like small outside but bigger inside
Yeah it does seem small from outside but plenty of room on inside. At least it is for us!
Heating and cooling?
Yes heat is from propane and there is an air conditioner also.
@@heavenlyhikesandtravels241 thanks for the reply! I love your camper. Looking forward to seeing some of your adventures on RUclips
I still do not understand why Lance puts u-dinette , no leg room and less table top.
Ignore the payload comments. You did your research.
What is the price?
Go to truck camper magazine go to buyers guide and look
Why is the voice not tracking correctly with the video?
I didn’t know it wasn’t. I never saw that and nobody else has mentioned it. 🤷🏻♀️
Glad it doesn't have sink in the bath. I really see no point in it
