I have a Lance 650 and it’s pretty solid in the winter, just make sure to add some extra insulation and you’ll be warm on your trips.

Absolutely, especially for longer trips. The convenience of not needing to find campgrounds with restrooms is a big plus.

Are we sure the numbers in the article are up to date? Consistency is key when planning capacity.

Do you think the trade-off in fuel efficiency is worth it for the added bathroom space? Trying to decide if I should make the jump from van to truck camper.

What about them?

Worth considering the larger models if you can handle the extra weight. Really good point in the article, Jonathan Holmes.

Seems like a lot of hype for something that might just be a fad.
