[QUOTE="GIZMO1, post: 651133, member: 1918"] I had a love / hate relationship with mine. I had a Lance 1181 with the full wall slide and every option they offered and it was a heavy bitch. I hauled it with a 2012 F450 and it was scary to drive especially hauling my 22ft trailer. To haul the trailer I had a super hitch with a 48inch extension. The plus side was it was smaller and easier to maneuver around but the bad was it sucked to load in the truck and it hated wind. I think it would have been perfect mounted on a trailer but I didn't want to try that and still hate it. BTW, I added air bags and helper springs to my truck and it still felt like the front tires would come off the ground when I hit a big bump. I have tried a few setups over the years and like Halcat said I am now in a motorhome. Setup 1 - 45ft Bloomer Open deck, Probably the best I had I just wanted to haul my jeep and a rzr. Setup 2 - Lance 1181 in the bed of the truck hauling a 22ft flatbed - Just didn't work like I thought and was scary to haul. Setup 3 - 50 ft enclosed race trailer with living quarters , This worked perfect as I could haul two rigs and still had a nice rv area but I was not able to use it for regular camping at state parks and such. Current setup - 43 ft tag axle diesel pusher, So far I am loving it and its very nice to have the old lady make me a sandwich while riding down the interstate. [/QUOTE]
