Most rv salesmen seem like unknowlegdeable used car sales people. They don't seem to understand it is the living space which is important. PJ is the best!

The key word is it will “fit” on a 1/2 ton, fitting and being a legal payload are two different things. The dry weight is 1700lbs, optioned out its around 2100lbs. Then add maybe 300lbs of clothes, pots & pans, food and camping gear and you’re at 2400lbs, plus a driver, passenger and the dog will add around another 400 lbs so now you’re at 2800lbs of total payload but you probably carry around another 100lbs of just in case stuff. So lets just call it 2900lbs of payload. The vast majority of 1/2 ton pickups have 1500 lbs of payload +/- 200lbs. Optioned out crew cabs can be as low as 1000lbs. I think Ford has a special heavy duty 1/2 ton at with around 2200 lbs of payload. Don’t let the dealer convince you that you can make it work with upgraded suspension parts, the payload sticker on your truck is the legal limit regardless of aftermarket parts. You may also affect your warranty on that new truck. I know that there are lots of folks running a few hundred over but if your payload limit is 1500 lbs and you’re carrying almost twice that you’re doing more than just fudging a little.

I bought a travel lite, just under 1300 lbs for my half ton Silverado, took out microwave, want to switch out Dometic air conditioner for a fantastic fan which will lower a bit of wieght, manual jacks, use liight compact camping dishes and pots, carry a small light screen tent, everything is light and compact (more hiking/camping type stuff), except food. Have air bags and it carries well. Rarely fill the water tank, but carry a gallon of water, depends on where I'm camping and travel distance. Sometimes tow a small flat bottom aluminum boat.

The fact that this thing has a bathroom/shower in it is amazing already.

That is exactly how I feel about it. I'm going from 3 years in a low roof cargo van to possibly a truck camper such as this one. Everything I built out in the van comes ready to go in this Lance, and probably in a far more efficient setup for energy and water consumption and application. I'm looking at this Lance and at the NuCamp Cirrus 620

I am not seeing the $30k price tag. I bought a 2018 Palomino HS650 truck camper. It has all the same appliances and features incl fantastic fan and AC. The only diff is I don’t have the bathroom, but I do have a porta potty and outside shower. My OTD price was $16k

Very well done and my choice for purchase. 650

Most 1/2 ton crew cab trucks have around 1500 lbs. total payload. Add 200 pound driver and 150 pound passenger and you are already down to 1150 loaded camper weight. Always read the GVW on door tag of truck. Then subtract passengers and cargo. What is left is camper weight.

Excellent presentation - like to place it on an 8' bed f450 and leave tail gate on room as a deck, and the ladder - can the camper tail light panel be removed?

Beautiful camper.

Great video thank you. :)

Question for the reviewer or any owners if this model - does the bedding get in the way of the refrigerator door? The door looks pretty close to the mattress there. And is there room to add a mattress topper or Froli sleep system without blocking the refrigerator door? I know that the mattresses fitted by most RV manufacturers, Lance included, suck.

Great presentation. Thanks

3 way fridge is a deal breaker. I have heard too many complaints from Campers. Very nice presentation though. You always do a great thorough walk through. I like having the wash basin in the bathroom. Can't see going from the bathroom to the kitchen sink washing my hands, brushing my teeth in the same sink that I wash veggies etc.

@hard life FTW EBK maybe 40 years ago when half ton meant actual half ton payload. Right now, a Chevy Colorado has a minimum payload of 1445lbs, up to 1700lbs (oddly enough that’s roughly the same as the 2021 Ram 1500) . So, a 1/4 truck actually has a ton and a half payload. A 2020 Sierra half ton has a bed load ranging between 1570lbs-2280lbs depending on cab configuration and trim package. Easily able to handle the camper and payload. If you add helper springs or air bags you could increase that even further. Heck, a one ton Sierra has a bed rating of over 2 tons. So, yeah, the 1/4 ton, 1/2 ton, and 3/4 ton designator for trucks really doesn’t mean anything anymore at least as far as payload is concerned.

I'd like to see how it looks sitting in a GMC Sierra. Or how the truck looks with the weight in the bed.

Great review

I will say check your cargo capacities. Most 1/2 trucks have cargo capacities of 1,700 to 1,900 lbs. I had a Titan XD and the cargo was 1,900. So even if this camper comes in at 1,700 and then I get into my truck it is over capacity. Don’t forget you have to take passengers and any other cargo into account. My opinion is this is not for a 1/2 ton truck. Check your owners manual of your truck. Be safe!

You're 100 percent right. Legally it's too heavy for 1/2 ton trucks thats assuming you're gonna add the additional payload like people, tools, bags you know the regular stuff lol. You'll be well over the legal GVWR. Wouldn't want to be in an accident and deal with DOT afterwards.They don't really go over that stuff in these videos because thats the scary part nobody wants to talk about or hear. Beautiful camper, I'm sure it's very well built, but just good to know the other side of things.

Cool.love it!!

What happens if you need to defrost the frig/freezer? ..... confused with bed wetting?

the stove close to the bed is not a good idea, the induction one would be great. you should probably swap the sink and the stove to make it much safer

They lost me when they chose to place a non-flat stove in the unit. Why take up that space for only one use?

Wonderful presentation. One question I would have is why is that sticker with the weights so far away? Do you think you could maybe put it on the door so when you open the door it's right there and easy to read?

Love it..💪💪💪

is ram 2500 better than a F-250 or visa versa, to haul something like this?

First off before I even watch the vid I’d like to start w/ ‘EXCELLENT’ murrelet, perfect set, ‘a mountain range’ for camping. Someone w/ brains stepped up, thank you. Let’s work on the color next, can we have it w/ some forest & a color scheme to match, the forest pl.

She’s one of the best demonstrators of RV’s on KZread. But there’s no way this is for a 1/2 ton truck. I have a 3/4 ton 2019 Chevy double cab with a 6.5 ft bed and a 9500 GVWR rating. With my butt in the seat I weighed it with a full tank of fuel and it weighs right at 7000 lbs. that leaves me 2500 lbs for payload. The 1700 lb weight of this camper is dry weight and wet weight is 1900. Add 100 lbs for the microwave and A/C options and your close to 2000. Now add another passenger in the truck and your at 2150. That leaves 350 lbs for a portable generator and other miscellaneous supplies and camping equipment and I’m at the max weight for the truck on a 3/4 ton. No way for a half ton, especially with a 5.5 ft bed. You’ll be 800 to 1000 lbs over weight in an average 1/2 ton and in emergency handling conditions it’s going to be a dangerous handful, especially with the height. Since this is an entry level camper you’ll probably be dealing with a limited experience RV driver and you’ve got a mix for disaster. Doesn’t matter how many airbags or increased leaf springs you put in, the manufacturers rating for your truck is what the insurance companies go by. When the lawsuits start flying you’ll be on the block.

I've read that Ford and Lance worked together on this to be compatoble with a F150. The weight is just right for a 2 wheel drive model with the optional heavy duty suspension. Who really drives one like that? We all have our crew cabs with 4 wheel drive. Adding air bags will not help increase your carrying capacity. Also why is there not a stove exhaust and hood?

The 650 wasn't designed with ford, but Lance did word with Ford to special order an F150 that could haul it. You could upgrade the tires, suspension and gearing on a "standard" half-ton, but like others have said, this really is getting into three-quarter ton territory.

Beautiful camper! But I don’t see how it’s recommended for a half ton? At almost 1,700 dry and almost a ton wet? I have a dodge 1500 I doubt very much it could handle this kind of weight

A dealer told me this was a non walk on roof plus I noticed it doesn't have a ladder as does all the other lance campers. Can you guys confirm or deny?

PJ is so cute

Although it may fit my Tundra with 5.5’ bed, doesn’t it put me way over on weight?

I want one bad!

I really like this unit but that fridge would annoy me being where it is. Surely once you have bedding on the bed you will keep having to move it to open the fridge door? Plus it’d preclude using a mattress topper or Froli system, no?

Thank you,PJ, I would like to know which camper I can get for my Z 71, Chevy 1500, 4 door, 2018, LT 4x4 4 inch lift? Also why no smart TV? That would be a better option for linking your smart phone to watch your tv apps or KZread. Also next to the bed where the sliding cabinet doors are the plug-in should be a usb and outlet. Also how does it do with 130 degree weather? Last thing what about dessert mountain graphics? How about show off a Lance 825?

You can definitely get the mountain graphics, and the additional usb plug would be nice! Lance uses a 12 volt tv for off grid camping, and the smart TVs are 110. The 650 would work for your truck if there is enough payload. The 4x4 truck lose a fair amount of payload with the off-road gear, so check the sticker inside your door for your trucks capacity.
