My safety issue is when a lance truck camper, model 1172 is attached to truck. the cg is 6-8 behind the rear axle (even though both dodge and lance data sheets indicate it should be over or in front of rear wheel). in addition, when fresh water tank is full (and without a normal camping load), the gawr of the rear axle is exceeded. 400 pounds of weight is taken off the front axle when the camper is attached to the truck. an inspection of the front tires revealed significant cupping with less than 5000 miles on the new vehicle. the truck with the camper attached is very unstable driving down the highway. i contacted both lance and the dealer i purchased the camper from. both say there are no issues and everything is in specs. *tr
