825 thank you

[@TanjaJeff]

awesome and super informative. more side-by-side comparison videos please. You are the man Brad, ty so much for all you do!

[@itsbrad]

Will do! Don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner lol any in particular you’d like to see?

[@TanjaJeff]

​@@itsbrad the 850 and 855s would be interesting, slide vs no slide for short beds. also the 960 and 975 for long beds.

[@jeeper5264]

"Off camera Elimination" ...hilarious...great video...not happy no key holder demonstration...yer slippin :)

[@itsbrad]

I swear, I’ll have a video where I remember everything! It may not be the next vid, or the one after that. But it’s coming! Lol

[@jasoncrandall73]

Could it be Brad is getting OLD? 🤔😉

[@RobertHile-f3h]

Good job on the video. When I am in the market I am calling you!

[@send2georgie_S2G]

Awesome comparison of the two campers! Well done Brad! 👍🏻👍🏻😊

[@itsbrad]

Thank you 😊

[@jonfelty6063]

Good side by side comparison! You/re getting better bro! Keep up the good work! Best Lance camper guy on KZbin for sure!

[@itsbrad]

I appreciate that, thank you for continuing to watch!

[@ithilnin123]

“Off camera elimination.” 😂 Thanks for always keeping it real, Brad. Appreciate the side-by-side comparison! I think I like the 865 a bit more because of the oven and three-burner stovetop, but maybe that’s a female thing? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@itsbrad]

Spider felt weird, didn’t like it spooking me lol

[@shizumaaonuma4801]

Great video! I was able to see the 825,865 comparison just like in LiveScope!

[@itsbrad]

Glad you enjoyed the video, hope it helped your decision!

[@FredBiesinger]

Glad you're back to wearing shades lol Don't want to hurt your eyes in the bright sun Keep up the fantastic videos

[@itsbrad]

Yes! Thank you!

[@luvyesmusici4886]

You are the man, Brad!

[@itsbrad]

You are!

[@chadkoller7809]

Thanks brother another great video. You answered my question because I have the 2500HD with 3601lbs payload

[@itsbrad]

Right on man, holler at me if you have any other questions! Glad to help

[@davidbaron6647]

Thanks Brad. Both are nice,

[@authenticityisrare7144]

Very nice! ❤

[@cplpcl8565]

BRAD 😂 u too cool and funny but it classic 😊😊 like the 825

[@darrenmoyer269]

Do both have heat and do either have AC?

[@itsbrad]

Yes, both have heat and a/c.

[@markw.3743]

Hmm 🤔 waspers black widow spiders, Brad you might want to put in for hazardous duty pay !!!👍🏻

[@itsbrad]

Hey man, you ain’t kidding lol 💵

[@heatheryourtravelgal1471]

Ever have any problems with the Trauma Combi? It seems like it's the better system overall and fairly quiet, not as wet a heat perhaps?

[@itsbrad]

So far so good, actually had one in the previous camper I owned! After the week long adventure of learning how to work it and getting familiar with it, it was great!

[@josephvoytus3694]

Good video !

[@itsbrad]

Thanks!

[@Sedona-Faise]

I have the 825 while my good friend has the 865 and the real biggest difference is the almost foot wider and foot taller that the 865 is along with his 3600lb loaded weight compared to my 2900 with 825...

[@itsbrad]

The 825 and 865 are both 86” wide and 8’ tall, identical… are you sure your friends isn’t an 850 or a different brand? The 850 is 10” wider and 6” taller and would be about 700lbs heavier.

[@Sedona-Faise]

Maybe my 10 year old 825 is smaller then? Same floor plan though…..or his is actually an 855 with no slide? Either way mines high and tight and his is much wider.

[@Roughinit]

Looking to put one on a f350 diesel short bed and haul a boat without an extension hitch. Does that put me in a 650 or will these two do as well? Not real concerned about weight our boat is under 3500 #

[@itsbrad]

650 would be your best bet w/o an extension. You could still do an 825 or 865, but would need probably a 18-21” extension, which wouldn’t be a problem for 3,500lbs

[@kronoswolf8335]

no generator?

[@itsbrad]

Not on these two

[@bakervinci163]

One propane tank ?

[@itsbrad]

Correct

[@AlexRuzicka]

Any come with a generator?

[@itsbrad]

Neither of these have an onboard option, you’ll have to carry a portable with you for dry camping. 2200w should get it done without breaking the bank and your back (toting around)

[@Christer885]

😄👍🌹

I would need 7 foot ceilings in the washroom, also 6 feet wide and lots of leg room on the throne.

[@itsbrad]

😁😂

[@mrutan6055]

Take the door off the bathroom have a curtain and door just gets in the way on the 825
