5 Tips to Help You Choose Between Lance Travel Trailers and Truck Campers
The way you like to camp and the size of your group are major items to keep in mind when choosing between Lance travel trailers and truck campers. The more off-grid you want to go, the less feasible a large travel trailer will be, but travel trailers open the door to longer journeys.
1. Base Camp
Lance travel trailers make an excellent base camp for larger excursions. Whether your family is leaving the camper behind to visit scenic attractions, or your climbing club uses it for preparing group meals, or you need a quick shelter against an unexpected storm, having a camper that can be left in a fixed location is a game-changer.
2. Cost
Travel trailers cost more than truck campers. Some of the cost is due to being larger or having more features, but it is also true that a travel trailer contains more parts and materials. From the wheels and under-carriage to plumbing and showers, travel trailers may cost a little more, but they also-- sometimes quite literally-- bring a lot more to the table.
3. Roominess
Truck campers tend to be shorter and built on a more compact scale. If you prefer to spread out a little more, choosing a Lance travel trailer will more closely fit your needs. If you have children, you can still take them along with a truck camper, but pulling a travel trailer will make it easier to prepare and enjoy meals, and will make the occasional rainy day a lot more fun for everyone.
4. Amenities
Lance campers and travel trailers have similar amenities such as a sink, hot water, and a toilet. On the other hand, travel trailers have more division between applications, the capacity to carry more fresh and used water, and more comfortable primary sleeping areas. Either way, you will have the same quality and workmanship that has kept Lance products popular for decades.
5. Towing Vehicle
Your tow vehicle is a primary consideration when choosing between travel trailers and truck campers. Truck campers can usually go anywhere your truck can go, but travel trailers have limitations based on trailer length, type of road, and other factors. You can get farther away from the crowds by taking a truck camper down a crude forest road, but the travel trailer can be pulled behind an SUV and left at the campsite while your family adventures.
Lance Truck campers and travel trailers are excellent for all-season adventures like exploring national forests or visiting popular attractions. Truck campers can sleep up to 4 people, but a travel trailer provides more comfort for the family when you have to be inside as a group. Either way, a Lance camper is packed with the RV conveniences that everyone loves.
