Greetings:
Let's start a new string on the issue of matching a truck to your camper.
The issue...Lance 992 Truck Camper.
Question...What truck will handle it safely and "comfortably"?
With options, the 992 should have a dry weight of about 3,700 pounds. With full tanks and provisions it will probably be more like 4,700 pounds.
A 2500HD Silverado, without modifications, will carry about 3,500 pounds, a 3500HD about 4130 and a 3500HD-Dulley 4x4 about 4700 pounds.
Problem...I do not really want to buy a dulley simply because I don't particularily like the way they look, especially when they are not loaded with the TC.
Must I buy a dulley to get the safety and comfort that I seek, or can I buy a SWD 2500HD or 3500HD and simply add rear sway bar, super springs, and 19.5" tires?
I need some advice. I do not want to be fighting this rig all around this country and be so fatigued at the end of the day that I can not enjoy myself.
I will appreciate any input.
