- Welcome to our home on the road the Lance Camper 1172!! We do up to 50 thousand miles on the road each year on the Bassmaster Elite Series and we have put the Lance Campers through the ultimate test. We absolutely love the Lance life and we know you will too. #LIVELANCELIFE Video and Edit done by Bri Douglas @bridouglasphotography
this is my favorite floor plan. you only need is a pick-up truck and everything is set plus you can add a motorboat and everything is total enjoyment, fun and total independence.
The 450 looks great! I work at fords Kentucky truck plant glad to see you using our trucks. Goodluck this year!
My 2017 F-350 DRW Powerstroke was made at your plant!! Loving it! Pulls our Heavy Excel 5th wheel like a dream, going to get a Lance so we can go camping (LOL) 5ver is to big to get to places we want to go. It's my 3rd Super Duty! Best truck, Love it.
Awesome glad you like it!
Dgordo006 ....I am beginning to think these large campers need a 450 and not a 350....
@@bclaverenz1 If you look at the weight ratings even on the 450, you'll see that a 550 is probably really needed to say legal. It's crazy how heavy these truck campers are.
That setup and your lifestyle is badass!
I have only seen 2 truck campers that I really like. This is one of the two. Nice camper.
Inside Diane's Life thank you for the positive comment!! We appreciate the support! 🙌
@@CarlJocumsen Where are you from
Literally paused the video about a minute and a half in just to say that any man who lets his wife back up the truck is truly a mans man! My wife drives a boat for a living and is constantly trailering as well. So I have no shame in letting her drive our boat and trailer it! She makes it look so easy!!!!
Sweet set up! I could see my wife and I living out of that down in Mexico… surfing, fishing and simply enjoying life!
Hello fellow Tennesseeians! I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Super nice. I could easily live full time in this
Bonnie j Hinton we did for 4 years! We loved it!!
Yep we have lived in this full time and love everyday we get to do it!
price brother
@@CarlJocumsen price brother
@@riyaz-cv1pg Around $52K list price. Around $36K invoice price.
I just saw y’all on the interstate the Atchafalaya bridge in the traffic that’s what brought me here
Follow up on my a/c with heat. The lights on the thermostat were going crazy when I tried to turn it on. Dealer said it would be 3 months before they could look at it. I was ready to just buy a new thermostat and install it myself. Pulled the cover off and the power wire was floating loose. Put the wire under its screw and tightened, now it works fine. Also none of the cabinets would open. I had to remove the latch catch plates and grind them down enough to clear. Other than those minor issues everything works fine and we are happy with the unit.
It is to bad that they don’t inspect their products and take pride in what they put out. Leaving the customer hanging while in shop. Can you imagine waiting that long to fix something so simple? Good for you fixing.
Lance camper ; I REALLY love the inside ....... thumbs up stay safe
That thing is luxury.
Raymond Rivera it’s definitely not roughing it that’s for sure! 👍
Great rig! Congrats, and safe travels. 😉
i think this is the best truck camper ive seen.
The best partner for an Aussie bloke is a tough American wife who knows how park a 6 wheeler better then him.
Best of luck too you both !
Good to hear an Aussie accent! Looks like a brilliant system.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more videos.
Love it! I have a Class-C now with the family... but when it becomes just the wife and I.... I'm all over this truck camper!
That's a dang nice truck camper. Been thinking about getting one myself so I can haul the boat on vacation. Thanks for sharing
I saw one of the previous comments about why the 450 instead of the 350. We also have a lance camper and a F-350 dually. I did a lot of research before buying the truck and found out that the F-450 has more towing capacity but the F-350 has more cargo capacity. I do like your camper. It’s very nice.
Thank you! Our F350 did the job great too! It was time to get a new truck so we decided since we are also towing a boat at all times that the F450 would be perfect!
The 450 has less payload because of the heavy components of the truck lile axles, wheel,tires, brakes, etc make the truck heavier. Both the 350 and 450 are rated to 14k lbs max truck weight.
@@bpaul1201awesome hence why earthroamer and other ppl get the f550, seems payload gets bigger with bigger rigs... I'm looking at making a choice for truck then cmaper
Bom dia !!!!
Cara, que Pickup, Camper e barco fantásticos !!!!
Equipamento de primeira qualidade.
Muito legal o casal.
Parabéns mesmo.
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal....
Abraço do Brasil....
Cool video 😎
Wow i really love this!
That thing is awesome!!
I could be so happy if I had that!. Cheap living and a change of view when you wanted.
David Thompson absolutely! It’s a dream!
Thanks David, we started with a old model Lance and absolutely fell in love with it.
In case you don't know, that camper is very expensive. And then add at least a three quarter if not a one ton truck to that package and you're talking some big bucks. If one can afford it, good for them.
David Thompson probably around $200k worth of machinery here.
@@timthompson8297 It can EASILY overload a highly equipped 1 Ton truck. Don't even think of a 3/4 ton.
Great camper, we still are using a 2006 Lance 851👍🏼🇱🇷
Truck, boat, camper....for just a quarter a million dollars it can all be yours too!
Awesome bit of kit mate could just see myself retiring with that
Mark Webb thanks!! you would love it!
Its the deal mate!!
Love love love the camper!
I really like the Coaster, i've never seen one before though.
Nice set up
Thank you for showing us how you set it up on the truck.
The music is wild, then I heard the Australian accent and it all made sense 😂🎉
Beautiful setup
Very cool! Best regards!
Bruce.
very good video
Three slide outs! Impressive.
maybe 5-10 years ago
Only 2!
Really nice layout(and video) Thx for sharing!
thank you making this video very good I've been looking for just this
Great video! Awesome Camper!
Thanks for the tour like it
nice setup
Very Nice!
That camper is beautiful. I would be scared to see the price though.
cryptogamerdude ...The old saying....If you have to ask....You probably can’t afford it.....
The smallest Lance the 872 i think, with all the fixinins was easily over 42K. This is 3 times the size. So I'm guessing 100K. Plus the truck and custom wrap job.
Yeah us poors couldn't afford it.
Wayyy to much money....I say boycott rips, they’d come down to fair prices period
Try putting a "quick" connect/disconnect elbow on you fresh water hose and fresh water hook-up. Saves time and won't wear you hook-up gasket and knob.
Nice paint scheme 👍
Swisscamper Ronnie cool thank you! It’s a wrap!
Awesome setup . I notice there was a little sag when you put the camper on the truck . Are you using air bags .
If you look at the you tubers “ Morton on the Move . There series Go North epd 2 using a Lance camper 1172 . They put airbags and sway bars to help with the camper weight and sway . check it out .
Best of luck with your fishing tournaments this year !!
Thought the same thing. Needs bags badly.
I noticed that as well, i think he needs to find a solution B4 is too late, he is putting to much stress, camper is super heavy
Air bags and sway bar were added 2 weeks after the video. Even without them the F450 is not maxed out on its tow load. Which is the reason we upgraded from the 350!
Kayla Jocumsen ....What brand name Air Bags and Sway bars did you install...???
Please provide details...
Cool video, thanks :)
It's my dream :D
I wish you all the best!
I love the living "system" that you have. Now I have to figure out a way to talk my wife in to it. Yeah I know it will never happen. Lol
The first thing I had to do was look up the campers / Lance 1172's for sale.. and DAM... a 2019 resembling yours is for sale in Graysville TN for one dollar under 50k. What a sweet camper, but for that price you spend 5 to 10k more and you can rock a HQ blackseries17. I would need that sweet dully as well with matching Wrap, toss in the boat and I'm sure you're in the neighborhood of 150k.
Totally different set up. This is a truck top camper, that's a travel trailer. There's a lot of places you can't go with a travel trailer.
This video rocks!

I wish my 3500 srw can fit a camper like this
Overhead bed is not great for handicap, impaired or seniors, very hard to get up in to. Plus said bedding area, tends to get hot/cold, much more compared to the rest of the unit. Other convert beds are not very comfortable for adults. Unit does sway on the road. I have 500,000 mls on mine. Would not recommend bumper pulling, does bounce great deal and afraid the bouncing could break away from the hitching welds. Toilet is most difficult for tall legs or big wide bums.
With the correct truck and upgrades you shouldn’t have any sway and towing should never be a problem. Our bed never gets to hot as our AC blows directly on to it and it also have a heater vent so it’s never too cold. The bathroom is small but this is a truck camper. You have to pick the camper that fits best for you
Good Idea, paint it black, so in the sun it heats up, and turns a camper into a portable oven
@805gregg dude, my rig is painted matte medium gray. It looks great, and seriously, I haven't noticed any temperature changes from being in the RV beige or white.
I can see manufacturers going to these type of colors, on down the line. Looks awesome!
I bought a new 2020 1172 I love it. Only real complaint is the stereo only plays DVDs no CDs or Blue Ray. I will be changing to a DVD/Blue Ray player and the stereo to one that plays CDs.
Hey just wondering why you got a 450, was the 350 not big enough?
Pros Cons? Please thanks
Could you please reply
The camper dry and empty is just shy of 4,500 pounds. Loaded it pushes the capacity of a 350/3500 DRW truck. They are also towing a good size boat. By the sounds of it, they travel a lot. A 450/4500 would better suit their needs and be easier on the truck.
We had the F350 for our first rig and it did the job but we had to upgrade the suspension with all the we tow. We do travel often so when we got the chance to trade it in we went with the 450 due to it’s already upgraded suspension. It now needs nothing extra done to it and it ties like a dream! Always make sure you are checking your trucks tow capacity!
can u get a washer dryer combo and how solar can u max out on.
You probably could but I’m not sure where you would put it. They have the compact quick washers that are portable but there are laundromats at almost every campground now! With limited space you’ll have to prioritize what items you’d like to bring along.
Love this model, but boy, such a tiny solar panel?
Steve Leonard you can add a extra one but the one we have does everything we need so far 👍
the only issues i have is they cost more then a 45 foot that has was more material and there made for the same stuff. and these cost the same if not more. and rv never last iv been threw so many brand new ones. there just bad investments inless you have to the money to travel.
Don’t feel bad. My wife backs our truck and trailer better than I can. Course it could be the fact that she use to drive Semi trucks for fifteen years!

Great set up, we just purchased the same camper and have a boat. How long was your extension?
Got more sponsor logos on that rig than a damn NASCAR LOL.
Thanks for your camper videos , got a question , once the camper is off the truck and your set up is there any unstableness while your moving about inside the camper or in the bed area
Yes, but not bad when it's lowered as much as possible.
You may feel very slight movement but it is very stable. This can be fixed by lowering it as much as possible or adding the front leg stabilizers!
Really appreciate the extra details you included in the video. I just bought bought my truck and eas looking for a video that helped with tow extensions. I was also wondering if you knew how much it cost to have the camper wrapped? Assuming your sponsor paid for it? Thank you from Iowa!
How Much??
Great set up, but what is the price for this wonderful set up.
Working in construction the pickup is not an extra expense and having a dual use for that truck really makes sense.
How easy is it to take the camper on and off? I want to do more kayak fishing tournaments but am hesitant to leave my older camper and truck at the boat ramp for tweakers to rummage through. Thinking about a camper like yours that has those awesome hydraulics. Easy for one person to take on and off?
Absolutely! I can easily take the camper on and off alone. Best option because you can have you camper and tow your boat or whatever you want to take!
What length SuperTruss did you need to clear the back of the camper? My boat is 8500# I’m going to need a weight distribution hitch. Just trying to keep it as short as possible. Thanks…
Great video guys! What is the ending credits song??
Hayalimdeki caravana inşallah bi gün bnm olacaksın
what is the monthly service/maintenance cost of the RV please?
Given the amount of time you have spent in this camper, what are your thoughts regarding controlling moister in the upper bunk area that so many truck camper videos mention?
We have a lance 1062 10ft 11 inches. I back it under our truck too. Did you say the gen is gas and not propane!
Any suspension upgrades on the truck?
manyowefew1 not on this truck. We upgraded from a F350 to a F450 because of the upgraded suspension on the 450!
How can I get the super truss hitch that you have on your truck?
What kind of gas mileage do you get.
What shoes are you wearing Carl? BTW F-450 is superior for heavy truck campers. Love it!
Very nice. Where do you store the extra fishing gear? All in the boat?
Now is that an Australian twang I am detecting ???
Cool video b safe
Been following you guys since you were in your first lance camper - and now the ultimate 1172. Awesome walkthrough BUT a question: Why a 450 dually instead of a 350 dually?? Looking forward to a reply ......
Bigger better brakes for one big reason. He’s hauling heavy, bigger means safer your choices might be less (?)
Jim Burwell's Petiquette hey Jim, we upgraded because the 450 has an upgraded suspension system. With the 350 we had to upgrade the suspension ourselves. The 1172 is very heavy but the 450 carries it like a dream!
@@kaylajocumsen2309 - is the engine same as 350? what's your gear ratio? It's good to know that the 450 takes carrying the 1172 to a higher, safer and more comfortable level. If you weren't towing your boat would you still go with the 450?
@@JimBurwellsPetiquetteHouston . You can get the F350 in rear axle ratio 3.73 and 4.10
The F450 comes in 4.10 or 4.30. You cant get the f350 with a 4.30 rear. So the f450 has the advantage
Is the truck lifted? Are those stock tires and rims?
Grand Poobah in this video the truck is not lifted and the tires and wheels are stock. But we did just upgrade both, 3 inch lift and 35s
New truck video coming soon on the upgrades we made!
Saludos y abrazos👍🏻❤️🇲🇽
Nuevo suscritor.
Is the roof mount rod storage custom? If not, who manufactures? Thanks.
Hey guys what is the make and model of the roof top box you have. We are truck camper living and live in our arctic fox 811 full time and travel . Look us up . Nice set up for sure been looking at the F450 for our truck camper .
Question: what truck do you use? Do you have to get a dually? I don't want a dually.
How do you make a living if you don’t mind me asking?
he fishes
MPG with the boat attached?!?!?!
Do the windows open?
Yes they are crank windows so they open about 6 inches!
Will your radio/DVD player play CDs? I have a new 1172 and mine won't play CDs. Also when I turn my heat on the A/C comes on.
you can or can't enter the camper with the rear slide in ? and how much space is there if you leave second slide in to be able to get to the bed if you in a truck stop when moving from a spot to a spot ? this is or isn't a 4 season camper ?
If you are going to be in the camper while still on the truck you need to put out both slide completely. We always stay at truck spots and parking lots with both slides completely out and the camper still on the truck
Does the dinette also converts to a bed?
Do you take that trailer off road?
Did Lance do the custom paint job or did you do that on your own?
what truck ?
Mike Griffith f350 drw
Just ask is your cam van is ready made? How much is that cost and where and how can we order?
Wow the inheritance money is dope
Only thing inherited here is my husbands work ethic 👍🏼
What was the cost of the rig. Truck and camper.
def have some money from somewhere outside of fishing
