- HVAC temp control knobs are sometimes finicky and sometimes adjust down when you want up, or vice versa. I didn’t adjust them enough to have it bother me.
- Slight weep from the Transmission cooler line into the radiator; not what I would consider a leak but I want to be full disclosure.
Camper:
- Slight leak from Hot water faucet knob in the camper when the water is on; doesn’t leak when off.
- Missing one light cover in camper over the bed
- Vanity Mirror Latch broken; bungee cord keeps it shut and I rarely used it so it didn’t bother me.
I purchased this truck/camper in August of this year (From Expo; you can find the previous posting if you search) as life presented me the opportunity to go on an extended road trip. I wanted something with a very reliable drivetrain given the distances I was planning to cover/locations I wanted to go and could be built out to live in without skipping a beat on daily life. As you can see above, I quickly caught up on any maintenance (both required & preventative), as well as added a lot of convenience features to both the truck & camper. This truck & camper have been in Southern California their entire lives and only came to Colorado when I purchased it. The truck has been a garage queen and it shows- the interior is in excellent shape, and the exterior only shows a couple of minor dings. The camper is in excellent shape with several upgrades to make it easily to live in on a daily basis, including a brand new Starlink Gen 3 setup for internet, an upgraded 200Ah Lithium battery (This is a game changer- imaging using Starlink, furnace, fridge, charging all your devices, and lights all night long and still having 60%+ battery life in the morning), 200w of Solar to fully charge the battery every day, USB-A & USB-C charging ports everywhere, plus all the conveniences & build quality that Lance is famous for. On the roof, there’s two roof racks to help carry all your extra gear so you don’t need to store it inside. Sheets, Blankets, Kitchen equipment all included, so you can hop in and begin your adventure immediately.
Now that I’m back, life is taking me a different direction and I’m looking to upgrade to something larger that works better with my kids, which is the reason for sale. I wouldn’t hesitate to jump in this truck tomorrow and drive it anywhere.
**Note, Truck has been winterized & battery removed for winter storage. All systems work, but the winterized ones will not be able to be demonstrated unless a non-refundable cash deposit is made.
