Truck Camper reviews

We love our camper with the professional install on our truck and the many extras the Colorado dealership did for us. This was the lightest self-contained camper on the market at the time. Our camper on our 2012 Tundra is at the maximum axle rating for our vehicle according to the dealership we bought it from, but way over the suggested bed weight. So with air shocks and heavy duty tires we were told it would be safe. We have had zero problems with the weight with over 80,000 miles of enjoying road trips all over the USA. Warranty with the company has been lacking from day 1. After about a month of ownership I noticed de-lamination on the exterior siding. The factory rep shrugged it off by saying “It was like that when you bought it”. There are more spots now after 11 years. My main complaint is the need to re-caulk the seams every 2 years, as the contraction and expansion splits the seals. Secondly the rear tie-down points are a bad location, as they actually pull the corner down and create the bottom metal seal to drop down and the siding pops out, creating a water leak. We have removed our back jacks and use the sturdy corner brackets as the anchor points for the tie-downs. We leave the front jacks on to be lowered, and keep the camper from rocking when moving around inside while camping. Show less

Beautiful RV with a lot of floor space for our big dogs. Loved the arched roof and the 4 season capability. The layout was designed by someone who had spent a lot of time camping as it is very livable. A boondocking dream. The camper is very heavy we used a 1 ton dually to handle the load. Extra equipment is needed on the truck to manage the sway on uneven or crowned roads. Loved the big 2 way fridge and all of the electrical and power stations. The Onan generator is loud and some newer models have replaced with a quieter model. Show less

I bought this camper from a friend who bought it new. My wife has decided that she doesn't like camping. Sadly, I have to sell it. I am going to miss it. It is completely self-contained and ready to go. I have slept in it comfortably at 20 degrees. It holds enough battery and propane to run the furnace all night in these conditions with plenty of propane left over and the battery only half gone. It is fully functional and ready to go with dishes, pots and pans, bedding, etc. It does require a full 8ft. truck bed. It requires a 3/4 ton or better pickup. We used the window in front to connect with the back window in the pickup. We have a crew cab pickup, so our three dogs could come and go through the window, making it possible for them to sleep in the cab of the truck. Big advantages, no registration in my state, no tires to wear out. Goes anywhere the truck will go. Fully functional on the road. Access to bathroom, kitchen, etc without any slideouts to get in the way. You will have lots of fun in this camper. Show less

Sealant dripping off camper window shades wrapping in the hot weather. And the list goes on. Show less

Bought this unit new. Price was a major consideration. The unit is very well optioned with quality appliances with all of the bells and whistles. Switches and controls are placed in awkard places. The toilet in the shower stall looks nice, but is not the most efficient use of this space. The jacks worked loose when the unit was two years old having pulled the mounting bolts out of the wood structure. I removed the jacks, installed aluminum backing plates, reinstalled the jacks using 3M 5200 marine sealer, and it's secure to this day. Never seen any evidence of water leaks, however I reseal annually. Unit looks new at 8 years old, however it's stored in a garage when not in use. Very comfortable! We upgraded the mattress. This thing is heavy, so a dually is needed! Not the best camper for winter use, as the insulation is not great. The AC unit, electric heat strip, or gas furnance are well capable of keeping it comfortable in hot or cold weather. The actual structure of the unit is very sturdy. We would buy this again as we enjoy traveling in it. I traded a very old Lance 10.10 in on it because the Lance leaked around the front window causing a lot of damage. The TL has a front fiberglass cap preventing any chance of a leak in that area. . Show less

The rayzr FK is a nice non over the cab truck camper that is light and will fit any full size 1/2 ton pick up truck. It is insulation and works great in cold weather. Has every thing you need in a truck camper. It is easy to load and unload even with manual jacks. Very roomy inside with plenty of head room. Have owned it for 2 years with no problems. Show less

We brought the travel light Rayzr FK new. It's a nice little camper for a 1/2 ton truck. It allows us to pull the boat with it. Plenty of room,for a non cab over. it's got everything you need. It has a ample counter space. It's a little tight on storage. Show less

We truly enjoy our Lance 1172. It is spacious enough for a family of 4 with 2 boys 8 and 15 but also the perfect size to fit in to smaller camp sites and make extra tight turns. The kitchen is just the right size. I bake cookies, make pancakes and casseroles. This truck camper offers tons of storage space from front to back, inside and out. It's extremely versatile and perfect for my families needs! Show less

This is our 3rd year with our truck camper. It has taken us all over the country including Alaska! The only issue for us, is sitting in the camper. The dinette is not super comfortable but we purchased a Quickset by Clam and that has solved the problem. Show less
