2022 Lance 825 Shortbed Camper - Lance’s LIGHTEST Four Season Camper

[@gregoire8376]

Finally - Lance has a camper with a light colored interior!! Makes the space more 'open' feeling, especially when there is a fixed footprint. That's why we bought another brand last year. When looking at the dark interior of other Campers, my wife always used to say "so this is where all the dark wood from the 80s ended up!". Good Job Lance !! And it's very light to carry - won't fit many 1/2 or 3/4 ton trucks, but with a proper truck you can carry as much water as you want, and eggs, and pickles, and BEER, and bread, and milk ...

While I am not in the market for a truck camper, I do enjoy watching your videos. Your channel is growing tremendously too Brad. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻😊

[@itsbrad]

Thank you for your continued support!!😀

[@user-kk8rg8ew5g]

I like the counter space. It looks alot spacious than I have seen in a small truck camper. Great video.

[@danielsmith4090]

Dude that's a lot of kitchen for a short bed camper. A lot more functional than a lot of small trailers! And a decent shower. I like it. Thanks Brad👍

[@itsbrad]

Exactly what I thought, I’m always impressed with the amount of space/stuff they fit all in the bed of your pick up!

Very straight forward video no b.s. that’s what I like about your video’s. Especially about the price and options, thanks for keeping it real.

Thank you Tanker 99! Really appreciate the positive feedback!

Brad..thank you for your videos..dry humor is the best :) you have the most undersubscribed channel on youtube. Keep on keeping on please

I feel the same way, constantly trying to grow! I really appreciate everyone that continues to watch and support the channel! I will continue to post videos as long as Lance keeps sending ‘em 😃

This is the funniest camper video i have seen yet😂

[@itsbrad]

Thank you!

[@inconspicuouslittlecrab]

you’re naturally so funny

[@paulhudson8321]

Always nice to see a new Lance camper. I wish my Canadian dollar was worth more. Saw a new Host Yukon the other day it was $110,999 US. I noticed that all other camper manufacturers are moving to the darker accents and graphics.

[@itsbrad]

I’m afraid they’re all headed towards the 6 figure mark 😳 seems like they are trying to get more modern with the campers, I’ve always thought it’d be cool to see like a log cabin style interior with more wood finishes, but that’d probably add too much weight

[@whammond511]

How about a Heavy Half where the Springs and Shocks are upgraded to support more weight. Most use the same frame for 1/2 & 3/4 so if done right you should be able to get enough load capacity for this Camper. It’s the first one I’ve seen that I would even consider.

[@abhu1420]

Nice video 👍🏼

[@bparker8195]

More good stuff Brad. I enjoyed the humor as well.

[@KU9L]

The Phat ladder is very stout. I used industrial Velcro to secure a 25' flag pole to it that came with my high-gain cell antenna for camp hosting. I put a lightning arrester and ground wire secured against the pole with lead to an 8' ground rod installed at the same time. Our Lance travel trailer barely ever knew the flag pole was there even in 60 mph winds. I don't know why more RV manufacturers don't use this RV Phat ladder, but I found it very stout on our 2012 Lance 1181 and our 2017 Lance 1985. I look forward to enjoying it on our next Lance, which is most likely to be a truck camper since we are about to enjoy more travel that a big rig is too hard to park and a Class B doesn't feel as homey. The Class C RVs do not have enclosed waste tanks and the beauty of mountain travel is to visit fall colors on the shoulder seasons where the summer crowds are off doing other things.

[@itsbrad]

Well said, thanks for your experienced review! Come see me when you’re ready for that TC 😁

[@danamichelle1290]

A ladder would have been sooo handy when I did some damage on low hanging branches. Sadly, my truck wouldn't hold a Lance but I love em!!

[@moonmanmoon1283]

Looking at one for our traveling adventures. Great video Brad.

divorce not your wife, no one is perfect in this world, not even that camper, it can not fly it can not float on water, you can not drive it on a rugged rocky mountain, its burns a lot of diesel, at the end you still lonely & sad. love your wife

I like your Freaks of Nature comment regarding those who do outdoors showering.

[@cxs240]

Hi Brad, Can this four season truck camp fit in the normal garage when it is not on the truck?

[@s7489b]

I can not believe people are willing to pay $50,000 to $60,000 for a truck camper (and actually a lot more than that because they finance them and pay interest). absolutely insane!!!!!

[@danamichelle1290]

Pros and cons to everything... one thing I love about truck campers is the versatility... you have a place to stay if your truck needs repairs, you have a vehicle if the camper needs repairs... something you don't get with class A or C..

[@danamichelle1290]

And they're WAY easier to park if you need to stay in someone's driveway and better millage.

[@alanhilliii7729]

Comfy place to sleep,eat,shower and can still pull your boat with you👍

[@stang393]

Some beaches wont let you take a trailer…so your choice is class B or C 4x4,

[@RKWWWW]

If you had my money it wouldn't matter.

I wish they would do something about the jensen stereo. The Bluetooth doesn't work and everybody is complaining about it on the Facebook truck camper site. And the ratings on the app for the stereo

[@itsbrad]

I mention in every video, hopefully they’re looking for a swap!

[@curve5746]

These prices are ridiculous. This should be 25 tops

[@itsbrad]

If you can build it for $25k, you have my full support

[@Antandthegrasshopper]

Brad, do you know if a Compost toilet can be installed in this camper?

[@itsbrad]

I don’t show it as an option on the buildsheet

[@CaptainHDY]

Where is the Battery? Said 100watt solar pannel but did not see a charge controler or battery? Any solar upgrades available?

[@itsbrad]

Battery is hiding in a compartment under the dinette, only one 100w solar panel offered through factory. There is a solar port to plug another on the exterior

[@desmurphy1431]

Would the 825 fit on a ram 1500 or ford ranger raptor?

[@itsbrad]

If you’re going to put it on a 1/2 ton I would go Ford. The Rams have coil springs which are not Truck Camper friendly. Ideally you’d want a 250/2500 Ford/Chevy/GMC for an 825 for more payload rating. The Ram 2500’s still have coils for some reason. There is a Lance SQ825 that will be releasing (I should have one in a month that would work with halftons better!

[@desmurphy1431]

@itsbrad would the lance 650 be ok or better for a ram trx or ford ranger raptor instead of the 850?

[@itsbrad]

From experience, I would not pair any truck camper with a Ram 1500 or 2500. The only truck camper you may be able to pair with the Ranger would be the new Lance SQ605. You’re really limiting your options with those two vehicles.

[@kaleta036]

Love your videos and these campers. Hope to afford one someday.

[@jacobward791]

Do you have any for the 8 foot bed truck bc I got a 2001 dodge ram 2500 v10 with an 8 foot bed

Lapis is what now?

[@itsbrad]

😳

[@darrylellyson8462]

Been considering this model. Can it be mounted with the tailgate down or do you have to remove it?

[@itsbrad]

Tailgate and all other bed accessories need to be removed like tailgates, bed covers, toolbox, etc

[@famcontreras93]

Can you explain why your last video you state that you have literature that says no 1500

[@itsbrad]

Lance no longer rates them for 1500 series trucks. 250/2500 - 350/3500 Shortbed single rear wheel is what they’re rated for now

[@itsbrad]

You can check what model works with each truck on Lance’s website

Very cool video and really like your commentating, good stuff and good camera work. But man...the price of a truck camper is amazingly high geez not yer fault just saying

[@westernsharpie]

Great review and awesome camper! You're a funny guy, remind me lots of Theo Von. Unfortunately this thing is way too heavy for any half tonne truck, 1500 etc. People have to remember the weight of the passengers also needs to be included in the payload. 2-3 people can add up to 500lbs. Got to take that off the payload. I've worked closely with CVSE officers up here in Canada and they say pulling people over in half tonnes with campers like this is, is like shooting fish in barrel. Not to mention in the event of an accident, if you're overweight, you're at fault and your insurance will most likely be voided. It's can be pretty scary stuff. Anyway thought i'd share that, I know its probably not what anyone wants to hear.

[@itsbrad]

Lance is in the process of releasing a true halfton rated Truck Camper called the 805 and I should have our first (only one in the southeast) in next week! And you bet there will be a video coming soon 😁
