That would be cool give us ideals of places to go maybe we didn’t k Know about but it’ can’t take away from the main channel bc u have one the best automotive channels on TH-cam
Something totally different but just as good as your other videos Dan. I was not looking to buy a camper van but your review might have triggered something :). Love the different content. As for your side channel, I can only speak for myself but I’d watch anything you put out just because the quality is always top notch, you’re always entertaining and listening to your real life reviews is always entertaining. Side note, on different subjects than performance vehicles, it would be cool to hear your wife’s opinion. Thanks to both of your for all the hard work put in the videos.
@Francois Boisvert Thanks Francois. I feel like at some level, once you become a parent, there’s a weird urge to take your kid and explore the outdoors sometimes. I’ve always been very outdoorsy, so this camper is certainly adding fuel to the fire. Speaking of adding my wife into the videos. We’ve been practicing a few skits and that’s an idea I’d like to incorporate. A more “civilian” outlook on cars versus a performance oriented perspective.
I had many RVs over the last 50 years, however I love my Host Everest triple slide truck camper the most. I have it on a 2020 Sierra dually gasser with an 8’ bed. On the open road, it gets 8.5mpg, but considering the room I have inside, with the amenities, and gas prices nearly a dollar cheaper than diesel, it is fantastic! At over 400hp, it takes on any grade without laboring! Heat,AC, hot dry bath, 2000watt inverter, runs microwave and toaster oven. It holds 71 gallons of fresh water. And 4wd gets me anywhere!
One of the better videos I have seen comparing truck campers and vans. Looking forward to watching your video on your 650 Lance. Live the exterior color scheme! Did you get it customized? Thanks!
Just wanted to say that was an extremely high quality piece of TH-cam video and very very helpful for someone looking for this exact comparison! Thank you for the wonderful video!!
My family has an old Bluebird RV but my parents have been looking at a van or truck camper as my brother and I aren’t able to join them on as many trips anymore. In my opinion, truck campers are great for a family that goes out every couple of weekends but needs the space and extra vehicle. A van or RV are great with the added accessibility during travel and the included bathroom. For longer trips I really enjoy the van/RV life more. Really as long as you are getting out there and seeing the world though, who cares.
Really like the production value of your videos, you deserve more credit on that. One note on the Solis, the 59P is the only one WITHOUT an A/C. The 59PX and the Pocket both have A/C and the majority of B vans out there have A/C on the roof. It's certainly the case that it's harder to find one without an A/C, with the 59P being one of few examples.
That was excellent . I’ve been trying to decide between the 2 and your comparison helped me to go with the Winnebago Solis - probably the pocket since I’ll be traveling solo. Good job
Hey man! Just watching now. I’m glad you had the time to edit this one, I’m interested to see how it turned out. Damn this is a long video, however, I’m a big fan of how the trailer looks on the ram. I gotta say, these vans are so expensive lol, yet so useful. It’s nice in there I gotta say, I was shocked to see a bathroom inside your camper lol. I was not expecting to haha The AC in your camper is pretty top notch honestly. Technology is pretty damn cool. Speaking of cool, it’s getting chilly out here in Texas. 40s this morning. We just had a massive wind front come through. 60+mph winds for 3 days straight I’m surprised that you still get better mpg with a camper in tow than I do with nothing in tow 😂 Going offroading with a camper must be so much fun dude. I’d love to do that one day Yeah I remember the Ram having some stiff suspension. I liked the feel, but I think a van would be a more comfortable ride for people in the back. I’m surprised to see a safety tab in this video. The things you guys do aren’t usually considered safe to some people 😂 However, safety is also my lowest priority when it comes to anything involving solely myself. Others however, different story. You were showing me all these different inlets for gas, fuel, etc, and I was pretty amazed at how many different sources this thing could run on. It’s pretty insane, I’ve never been around campers in my lifetime so far, it seems complex, expensive, yet worthwhile. You covered a lot man, but I’m really glad to see all the details about these. It was explained well enough to where an individual with no experience could understand it. I enjoyed it, and it’s nice to see that even ugly (sorry lol) vans look good in the camera. Cheers, if I’d ever pick up a beer.
@Noble Vigilance Thanks man, honestly I had a hard time putting this one together because it was so different than what I normally do so I didn’t really know how to approach it. But glad I did. I feel like I have a lot to offer on this topic since I researched it so religiously for a while.
Yeah vans are crazy expensive now. Good thing truck campers are still relatively affordable.
Most people are pretty surprised to see that and also a full shower too.
It was warm yesterday for Halloween but it’s in the low 50s up here now. We’re thinking of travelling south for a trip this month, maybe Nashville or GA, to escape the cold.
So the van was more headache inducing when you’re actually walking around and doing stuff in the back for some reason. The suspension on the RAM with the camper loaded is definitely more comfortable. I might add air suspension in the future with 37s and a lift.
I’m usually not concerned with safety either, I carry almost everywhere I can legally do so.
Jason tells me all the time that more people are into RV-ing than cars, lol.
@@DanWangFilms let me know if you ever decide to come and visit Dallas. I’m sure you can get some cool reviews done over here. I also talked to the airport manager out at mineral wells, someone died at one of their events so there will be no more drag racing there sadly
Would love a review of the lance 650 as it does seem to be the most ‘modern’ of the truck campers out there right now and with the rise in gas prices (and truck prices!) being able to be put on a 1500 is a huge bonus
Always nice the mix up the channel here and there. Nice topic on the camper and vans. Vans are much more convenient due to space in the interior. Anyways, did you see the new Z06 that was just released?
@DaNihselAuto Thanks, I did, and I was planning to cover it on a livestream video, but I just never got around to having the time. Long story short, I placed a deposit back in July or September at my usual high volume dealer. And even though that was two months before the reveal, I’m still like #1000 on the list and they told me I wouldn’t see the car until 3 years out. So I cancelled it again. I’ll buy one eventually but I’m fed up with the market right now.
like your set up. First time I've seen a "murdered Lance", also wood grain looks great on the sides. Depending on how your trucking camper line up, you might be able to crawl through the pass through window, but only if you have a 27' waist. I love my Bigfoot on a 2nd gen!
New Sub; great review. Now have you considered a LRAM extended tank for your ram to max your range? I have the Ram and with the LRAM and two 5g Jerry Cans I'm averaging about 800 miles max range. I'm thinking about the Black Series HQ19 since I also have large pups. Running the redarc manager 30 with SOK 206ah LifePO4's and Renogy Flex Solar Pannels.
@Christopher Laboy Thanks man, that’s pretty impressive range. I’ve considered the extended tank, but in the past few trips that I’ve taken, I haven’t found myself in a situation where the extra range will benefit me unless I’m really off-grid for a long time. I average around 450 highway miles with the camper on and I can only drive about 8 hours max at a time. I saw the HQ19 when I was picking up my camper. It’s definitely a really nice rig. Not sure if I could justify the price, but certainly roomy for the doggos.
The Pleasure Way Rekon on a sprinter chasis has a ground clearance of 11 inches, 4x4, 20mpg. It also has a 40 gallon fresh tank, 4800 wh of battery, 400 watts of solar all at under 20ft in length. I think the Rekon would be a good match for your truck.
Hi…thanks for the review. I have a 2022 F350 Tremor that I am mounting a nice used 650 on. I had planned on painting it also, because I can’t stand the white. I have a dark gray truck, and was planning on painting it dark gray with flat black trim. On the sides…did you simply lightly spray the white fiberglass with flat black to get that effect? May I ask what type paint you used? Thank you. @@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy
@Ben Jones That’s true, my plan is to add more panels and hook up to my own lithium system but it’s always a lot easier when it’s already there from the factory.
Well, i mean there are vans like mine with a 460 big block. But that does take buying an older van and doing work. But I can tow pretty close to what that truck can, but I have more ground clearance. Eitherway good video, I really actually think the setup of that van is very nice.
Do the 2020 Shelby GT500 vs Huracan!! Do the 2020 Shelby GT500 vs C6 ZR1 Do the 2020 Shelby GT500 vs Demon roll race Do the 2020 Shelby GT500 vs Porsche 992 Turbo S
What do you guys think about a side channel where I talk about my appreciation for alcohol and travel the world?
alcohol is bad for your booty
Hell yeah
That would be cool give us ideals of places to go maybe we didn’t k Know about but it’ can’t take away from the main channel bc u have one the best automotive channels on TH-cam
Cummins does come with big tank and diesel engine burn lower temperature and don't consume much as you think
There are not many videos on campers in TH-cam. This video stands out notably.

This video is awesome. I’m getting ready to get out of the military and looking at doing something like this. So this is super useful
I've been down a rabbit hole for quite some time now on this very debate. This has been by far some of the best info so far.
Great t-shirt with the truck camper! Where is it available? Thanks

Absolutely great job!! I really enjoyed it, very professional.

Good information. It is clear that you did your research on the topic. Thanks
Why only 685 views after one day with 101.000 subscribers? Very odd.

Great video. I'm looking for something for the racetrack and found this video on my feed
Loved this, thank you for your time.

Excellent video!
For trucks and off road usage I'm diesel team. Here in Europe we also use LPG gas which is half the price of gas.
Bro great video. Is that a wrap on the 650? Mind if I ask who did it for you?
Awesome video !
Wow very well made video.

I am all about the Truck and camper unless we start talking custom built Mercedes Sprinter vans that are offroad ready.
Have you looked into a hard sided Alaskan popup truck campers both flatbed and slide in?

Very good coverage on the topic. On the diesel $ for miles traveled with the cost of diesel does not make the argument. For the did in cost now.

I think whether you using a van or a truck camper, you can always bring portable solar panels to augment your power needs.

Nice camper man! I have a Lance 650 but it looks nothing like yours. I would like to customize it but I’m always thinking of resell value.

@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy nice! i live in massachusetts but never been there. will have to check it out!
You be should be careful saying a short bed is a 1 ton. If you read the manual they are not.
2100 payload for a 1 ton SRW seems low
U have a truck that would hold a much bigger and better equipped Lance. Just sayin
over 85k for a SRW car..you can get a real truck, loaded, DRW 3500 for that kind of money
