Parkview RV Center in Smyrna, Delaware, is drawing attention to its current selection of Lance truck campers, a category of recreational vehicle that continues to appeal to travelers seeking flexibility and the ability to use their pickup truck separately from their living quarters. The dealership’s inventory includes new and used slide-in campers with varying floorplans, weights, sleeping capacities, and truck-bed requirements, according to a company announcement.
The significance of this inventory update lies in the growing interest in truck campers as an alternative to traditional motorhomes and travel trailers. Unlike motorhomes, truck campers do not require a separate chassis, allowing owners to detach the camper and use their pickup for daily driving. This can reduce overall ownership costs and provide greater maneuverability on and off the road. For shoppers comparing camper sales in Delaware, the availability of multiple Lance models at a single location simplifies the process of evaluating different configurations.
Lance campers are known for their cabover design, which places the sleeping area above the truck bed, maximizing interior space without extending the vehicle’s overall length. Depending on the model, features can include queen beds, dinettes, wet or dry bathrooms, kitchen facilities, storage, and slide-outs. For example, the Lance 1172 is a 20-foot truck camper with a 4,063-pound dry weight, two slides, and sleeping capacity for up to six people. It requires a long-bed truck configuration. The 2026 Lance 855S, meanwhile, is designed for short-bed trucks and includes a queen-size bed and a single slide.
Matching a camper to the right truck is critical. Buyers must compare the camper’s weight, center of gravity, floor length, and truck-bed requirements with their pickup’s specifications. Parkview RV Center provides model-specific specifications to help shoppers make informed comparisons before contacting the dealership. This guidance is especially important for newcomers to truck campers, who may not be familiar with payload ratings and weight distribution.
Beyond Lance, Parkview RV Center’s inventory includes other truck camper brands such as Northern Lite, Palomino, nuCamp, and Soaring Eagle, as well as travel trailers, fifth wheels, Class A and Class C motorhomes, toy haulers, destination trailers, and teardrops. The dealership also offers new and used RVs, giving buyers the chance to compare model years and configurations. For those interested in the broader Lance lineup, the dealership provides Lance truck campers for sale and maintains a dedicated page for Lance cabover campers.
The company also operates parts and service departments, with 10 full-service bays and trained technicians, and offers financing for qualifying new and used RV purchases. “Our current inventory gives customers access to a range of RV options for different travel needs, with Lance truck campers among the choices available at Parkview RV Center,” said Rick Horsey, President of Parkview RV Center.
Based in Smyrna, Delaware, Parkview RV Center has served RV customers since 1968 and carries brands such as Lance, Northern Lite, nuCamp, Palomino, Forest River, Alliance RV, and Winnebago. The dealership’s emphasis on truck campers reflects a broader trend in the RV industry toward lighter, more versatile vehicles that can be towed or carried by everyday trucks, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for new campers and offering experienced travelers a different way to explore.
