Lance is the top of the line and if weight is an issue then Lance Lite would be the way to go, I have a 10'6"on a 3500 Quad cab 4x4 SRW Dodge it handles it fine, if you want to do a lot of off road go smaller, mine is made for comfort

Why not have propane option? Best off grid refer available, don't limit yourself

Most camper come with air, if not it will be wired and set up for it, check for leaks around the front window, I just bought a new to me 2003 Lance it's great one of the best manufacturers, you might ask your questions at Lance Owners.com

Check out ADVriders ride reports forum, look up Tuckers to TDF, this couple didn't sell their house, and rode from LA to TDF in 6 weeks, passed all the slow vacation riders

Just buy any trans cooler and adapt it in, no big deal

Excellent Idea, and easily removable

As soon as you have to haul it with 4 wheels, it loses it's ADVenture status, just another dirt bike, check on ADVrider, in the ride reports and see how many haul their bike to the ride

I rode my DR to Copper Canyon in Mex with 2 WR's, good for shorter, smaller rider, plan on shifting a lot and at highway speeds heading toward their max RPM which is 11,500, how long do you think a motor running at over 9000 RPM will last

What ever truck you get make sure it has a 8ft bed

If it weighs over 475-500 lbs not much of a dual sport more of a want to be highway dualsport like a GS1200, you could do smooth dirt roads, but you could do that with a street bike

What size Lance is that? It looks like you can go just about anywhare you want, nice set up

Why not get a service body and gain all that outside storage, they make them that will fit a camper, aluminum would be great

The Artic Fox camper are rated very light from the factory, with a necessary added package they weigh about 500 lbs more and add your gear figure about 1000 lbs over the advertised weight, my old Lance 9'6" is about 2800 lbs plus gear I've done Baja with it but slowly off road
