I've got a 2016 GMC 3500 with an 8-ft bed, dually. Looking to pick up an obnoxiously cool truck bed/slide in camper setup for just wifey and myself. Any recommendations on manufacturers would be greatly appreciated!

I had a Lance 1135 camper once. Loved the camper, but short story is I sold it, and the people didn't seal the roof, and the wood frame rotted. Just saying that to maybe look for a camper with a minimal amount of wood in the frame. Mine was an 11 1/2" not including the overhead cab part. If I was buying another one I would look at the Arctic Fox. Whatever you get, make sure it is rated for being able to be used off the truck without any extra bracing under the camper. I could have the Lance off the truck, leveled and hooked up in 15-20 minutes by myself. A slide would make a huge difference in an overhead camper also. I miss mine, but can't afford another right now, but one of these days I will have another one. You will also want to get a class 5 hitch installed if you get a long camper and want to pull a trailer with it. |

Non slide, means not much room, but Northern Lite. Slide, Arctic Fox, not sure you can find one outside of OR, WA, ID, MT, maybe a few other nearby states. We have a 5th wheel one, nice and well built compared to many, and no issues so far. |
