This is going to weigh the same as my 815 when you add a bathroom et al.

I was in one of these at this year's Pomona RV Show and I think it is one of the best laid out small TCs on the market. The wetbath is VERY usable (especially with the cassette toilet) and tank capacities are realistically sized.

I agree with Go Camping. Those who made the ad don't know what they're talking about.
We did see a TC slidein yesterday at the Chicago RV show that would work with the low-payload trucks. It's really bare bones - it's a popup with 2 twin-size beds along the side and a small table. That's it, that's all. I think it weighs something like 800 lbs. Can't remember the brand.

I am in the process of selling my 2001 Lance 825. That was a great unit, good to see they brought it back.

This appears to be the same as the NorthStar Laredo, with the cassette toilet and all.

So what else is new? They also say you can put their 9.5 slides and the 1055 on 3/4 tons. There are very few, if any, that can carry one of them even minimally optioned within GVWR. If they were honest with the truck recommendations they'd sell a lot few campers.

All else considered, it would be nicer to have that 14 + 14 waste tanks as one 28 grey tank with the cassette toilet -- or even two 14 grey tanks with a diverter of some sort. Always seems the grey tank fills quicker, so should be larger. Otherwise, the camper is pretty much laid-out like many others on the market ...

Or there would be more DRW trucks on the road.
