What owners report
Lance 650
- ✓Genuinely one of the few hard-side truck campers light enough for a half-ton short-bed truck — dry weight starts around 1,640-1,800 lbs depending on options
- ✓Lance's modern build (Azdel composite, LitePly plywood, CNC/CAD construction) gives it premium fit and finish for a tiny camper
- ✓Non-slide design means fewer leak points and less to break than slide-out campers — owners value the simplicity
- ✓Surprisingly good storage for the size — owners report more room than they expected with smart packing
- ✓Wet bath packs a toilet and shower into a footprint where most small campers skip the shower entirely
- ✓Holds resale value well — Lance campers consistently command strong used prices
- ✗Payload is the whole ballgame, and it's tight — a loaded 650 with people, gear, food, and water can hit ~3,000 lbs, which can put even an F-150 over its rear-axle/payload limit
- ✗Many owners conclude a 3/4-ton is the safer host truck despite the half-ton marketing, just to have payload headroom
- ✗Wet bath means the toilet, sink, and shower share one wet space — everything gets damp when you shower
- ✗Small footprint feels cramped for two people stuck inside on a rainy day
- ✗No slide and a compact floorplan limit interior living and storage versus larger truck campers
- ✗Hard-side, non-pop-up design means more wind drag and a higher profile than a pop-up like the Four Wheel Hawk
- ✗At around $30K it's pricey for its size — you're paying the Lance premium for build quality
Lance 2075
- ✓At roughly 4,450 lbs dry it's a true half-ton trailer that an F-150 or Ram 1500 tows comfortably
- ✓Murphy bed up front frees the whole front for a lounge by day, giving the couple's layout real living space without a slide
- ✓No slide-out means fewer leak points and less to break — owners value the simplicity for reliability
- ✓Lance's better insulation and enclosed/heated tanks make it more capable in cold weather than typical lightweight trailers
- ✓Optional rear outdoor kitchen with two-burner stove, sink, and chilled drawer is a genuine quality-of-life feature
- ✓Dedicated, sealed compartments for generator and batteries show the thoughtful engineering Lance is known for
- ✗At $48K it's roughly double the price of a comparably sized Jayco or Forest River trailer — you pay for the build
- ✗Lance is not immune to QC misses — owners report molding falling off, a broken dinette table, and AC cover issues after just a couple trips
- ✗Multiple owners have reported serious rodent intrusion, with gaps in the underbelly that should have been sealed at the factory
- ✗The InCommand digital control system gets criticized as convoluted and failure-prone — some owners had it die early
- ✗No slide means living space, while clever, is still tighter than a slide-equipped trailer of the same length
- ✗Dealer network is thinner than Jayco/Keystone, so warranty service can mean a longer drive
- ✗Some owners report water-system and plumbing leaks that needed chasing down early in ownership
