BTW Lance does build aluminum framed truck campers now.
You have to be real lucky to find a decent used truck camper. Most of those for sale seem to have been sitting outside for years and are now for sale to get them out of the yard. Rick is right about the leaks. Also bugs, roaches, ants, etc. Truck campers are much more popular out West so the used market may be better for them.
I spoke to an Alaskan owner once and he loved it. He told me customer service is very good.They have been building them the same basic way since the beginning. If they only had an aluminum frame they'd last forever.
There was a company called Livin Lite that built 100% aluminum campers. I believe they no longer build campers and only build trailers now. If you could find a used camper it would be be a gem.
I have a canvas tent truck camper I use at Daytona a few times a year. I'll post a picture of it tonight. It knocks down and stores in a duffel bag when not in use. Not for everyone but it's OK for a weekend.
