Wow…truck campers have come a long way since I was a kid.
I can agree with you on that
Especially the price...
@@j.w.7579 "Tiny House" movement destroyed RV pricing.
Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. We had a huge camper that fit on a 1970 something International pickup.
Only thing missing is the big window in the front where the kiddos can lay on and watch where their going.
Be sure and check inside door frame payload capacity. I bought a 2018 1172. I overbought. This unit caused my front end to almost come completely off the front wheels! 2006 GMC 4X4 dually one ton. My payload sticker was washed out badly. I tried hard to get people to help me figure Lances weight figures worksheet! Never happened. I was dumb-smitten honestly.
Few learning curves. Make sure frig and/or bathroom Doors are firmly closed before bringing the slide out back in.
The rear basement door. Get used to hitting your head lots and lots.
Under no circumstances, even if it’s just for 10 minutes, never park your unit on any sort of incline. If you do your safety gas valve will shut off to your refrigerator. Also, do not attempt to operate slide outs. The manual warns users not to use slide outs unless completely level at all times. this makes it hard for senior citizens who need to get into the bathroom. as there are many places that will have you leaning someway or other that can cause the slide out system to malfunction. The emergency procedures that you have to follow are very difficult. They are very stressful as well. Be warned. you cannot get into the bathroom without opening both slide outs. This does not make a good camper for In-N-Out use in my opinion. It’s more of a base camp model.
The electric cooling fan behind your refrigerator, will come on continuously interfering with your sleep, it will also drain your batteries within 22 hours if not paid attention to.
My 2022 GMC 1 ton Dooley indicates 5436 payload on the inside of my door frame. If I planned on towing or adding anything to the truck itself I would not consider any truck less than a 450 even a 550. I say this as the larger trucks offer bigger brakes stronger braking power and overall a safer driving experience without having to spend lots of money on suspension upgrades leaving you unable to stop in emergencies as well as controlling sway.
GM products are complete garbage
Thanks for info
By the time you got to the bathroom, I completely forgot this is a truck camper. Being able to add slide outs changes everything. Absolutely amazing.
$78k for a pick up truck bed camper? Screw that.
I rather buy a home at auction somewhere in Texas
I was all in until I got the sticker shock...I was like hell yeah...I will put a diesel engine in my 69 1 ton 8×12 flatbed former Ryder Rental truck and get one of these Lance slide in campers... but naw...might as well get a fifth wheel or a motor home for 78k...damn it sure looks good!
No kidding...
Any one that can afford that is buying a used 5th wheel !
What in tar nation.....that's a lifetime of money
I been around the block a few times with several different RV types, I have to say this is an excellent Truck Camper. It has a lot of great features and uses the space efficiently. Way to go Lance.
At a base price of 65K, it should wipe your ass for you. Lol.
Nice job, kid...you present like a real person...a friendly neighbor. Don't lose that, it's priceless. (Nice camper, too 😁)
Thanks!
15:33 “I’ve got a pretty good pull out game there” 😎 nice, Brad. Real nice lol
Hahahahhaha
Amazing use of space and the best thing for a truck camper no wet bath.
It's a true tiny house without the trailer.
Thank goodness for all that potato chip storage, and also the bed for the adults I don't care about LOL! This was a great video, thank you so much!
😂😂😂that little pull out bed for the person you don’t care about!! 😂😂😂
The amount of living space they can now squeeze into these truckbed campers is a amazing.
Thanks for the very informative video. I knew nothing about truck campers before watching this. Nice camper shell.
Hey, Brad! We watch all your reviews and enjoy seeing them all. One thing you might want to consider adding is a "road side pit stop rating". We saw a Host Mammoth camper about 6 months ago that we might have liked to have, but in order to get into it to pee while on the road, we would have to put out all 3 slides. No thanks then.
We travel for basically an entire day before we make a stop for the night. During Covid, going into public rest rooms is not something we want to do. We are thankful to have our own protective little bubble to travel with. I love it.
Some truck campers allow you to get in while at the side of a road, or in a quick rest area or parking lot stop. Some surely do not.
We bought (and would have gotten a Lance if one were available in our are, inventory has been super low) a 2019 Eagle Cap truck camper and without the slide out, we can still get in, access the rest room, even make a sandwich, etc. Being able to make a quick lunch stop is important to us, plus if we end up spending a night in a Walmart parking lot of something like that we might not want to call attention to ourselves and have the slide out. Note we would have bought something brand new, but we were lucky to even find a used camper nowadays.
So, your "pit stop rating" would be very welcome to us, and perhaps several other travelers.
You do a great job with your reviews and we watch every single one of them. Thank you.
Good info, and thank you very much! The 1172 is not accessible with slides in, I’m pretty sure the only one with slides that I’ve been able to weasel my way to the bathroom and kitchen is the 855s. (Had to suck in my belly though lol)
Just open door and squat, it should hide you just fine
We have a Host Mammoth with 3 slides and do have to press two buttons at the same time for 3 seconds to open 2 of the slides to use the bathroom. Very easy for us to use on the road. Also we enjoy the safety and security aspect of this so if someone breaks into the door they can’t access the camper and all our belongings with the slide securely in the way.
Love the new interior colors. Wish they kept that window in the living area but still a great unit
"Same thing down here..for all your potato chips"..🤣😂🤣
You are awesome..I actually watched the whole video..👌
Thanks for your support! 😁
I am a city girl from Minnesota...I have no idea how this video popped up but I watched the whole thing too. Lol
Man,this thing look's cozy af.
Wow i got to say that's the nicest truck camper I have ever seen!
Hee, I was _waiting_ for the keychain demo. Brad does not disappoint.
Totally missed lol
I don’t know if you were trying to make us laugh but you had me cracking up. I watched the entire video so good job!
😁Yes...the key fumble made my day! Laughter is good medicine...BIBLICAL.
You dropping your keys and silently looking to the ground... that made me like this video 😂👍🏻😂 I could just see myself there, followed by a low... SOB.... 🤣🤣
Thank you I enjoyed your video and honesty. I think this camper is definitely worth the price 😊
Fam, you had me with the EuroWindow, but I was SOLD @ 15:29. It describes the way I want to live the NEXT chapter of my LIFE. How I Live, My Rig, My Women. #PullOutGameIsREAL
These truck campers are pretty cool but I wish the camping industry would innovate so they're easy to put in the back of your truck with something like a rail system. The snow plow industry came out with quick mount/dismount snow plows for instance.
Thanx, friendly and no fluff.
Good job.
Pretty nice! The bath is great as is that closet in the bedroom!
The prices on these are absolutely insane,70k for a truck camper!!?? REally!!
4 season is now standard! Excellent.
If RV manufacturing were forward thinking ( progressive), most if not all RVs would be 4 season, you think?
Brad, boy have you grown! Presentation is everything, and- yours has improved so much- it's really incredible! Props, kudos, a genuine Good on Ya! and an enthusiastic slap on the back. I think owning that Lance 975 has changed your presentation quite a bit. Now, as an owner & user of these campers- you 'get' the importance of each of the items that you show- for us viewers, it's a real value added feature. Before, your enthusiasm was based strictly on the sale of a unit, now you appreciate the quality, functionality & improvements made, model over model and year over year. Really- just wanted you know that we've noticed, and appreciate your insights much more now. (I hope you read this- not sure if many folks tell you that you rock!)
Thank you very much, David! Always trying to improve for you all!
How much??
@@albertomartinez-df3gw They start at $65,168 and go to a little over $82000. The one in the video is $78,000.
AWESOME video. You always make me laugh. I ❤️ this camper. I never get tired of you videos. I would get the convection oven to heat up my tv dinners because I am to short to reach the microwave. Get a portable blu ray to watch movies. I like my Santa movies also. 👍👏
Portable blu ray is on the list of additions to purchase! Lol
The interior fabrics and colors are much better now than before.
I like them a lot as well!
Interiors of nearly all campers used to be dreadful. RV manufacturers have done a good job of updating to a more modern look, even in some of the less expensive ones.
“GREAT video as always. LANCE went hard on that one. What an update, phenomenal job.
I’m very excited about the new changes, may be time to go ahead and get my ‘22 on order 😁
I think that you gave a great presentation.
Thank you, Mike!
Thanks Brad. Those counter tops are probably corian. Glad to see the 4 season standard upgrade. I wish a solar package was included.
There’s still some people who order and opt out of the solar package so I guess they’re trying not to force a charge on someone who does not want an option. I will say as for my 975, I have dual lithium and dual solar upgrade and batteries still went dead after running some basic amenities while I wasn’t plugged in for 3 days lol I’ve come to the realization they’re nothing more then trickle chargers
@@itsbrad Will the microwave run on batteries only? Can it come with an inverter?
miss the old campers with the front windshield when i was a kid i'd ride up their with my best friend while her parents drove us to the lake
Miss that window by the ouch.
Really like seeing the upgrades in standard equipment. Thanks for the tour.
Its much larger on the inside than I thought it would be!
Like that honest review! Things that suck should be discussed or they will never get fixed!
To not have blue ray suck? Who is using these old machines today? Today we are streaming, Netflix etc.
I didn’t even know they sell blue ray stuff anymore.
Wow, I'm amazed at all the space in these! Good presentation Brad!
They're proud of those.
Beautiful cabcamper!! I own lance cabcamper mines is a 1989..still works amazing...lance definitely makes good QUALITY cabcamper that , will last a LIFETIME...I absolutely love mines...these new monster cab is beauitful, wow !! Thanks , for your...😊
Thank you for your honest review, Carmen! So glad you love your Lance!
Funny and entertaining walk through!
Cute salesguy. Heknows his product well
Mike is in the video,19 minute mark looks like he’s taking a leak! Go Mike Go!
Shoot he probably was lol
Lol. I cannot stop laughing. You are so country and it's hilarious! Thanks for the tour.
This one has a few things missing we just got ours. I have a tray for silverware in the little drawer under the table. My sink has a two piece cover. And I have a drawer under the oven.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Nice Unit,,,,out of my league $$$
Dude, The Santa Cluas is one of my FAVS. GREAT JOB, LOVE THE KEY DROP.
Hard to beat the Classics! Lol
These things are going for $30k-80k it’s just so ridiculous
Can't believe all that room
Pit stop brad. So we can stop by and say hi
That was very nice! Wow. Quality costs....quality lasts. I DID see the key fumble...lol thank you for the laugh! Opening the drawers and doors is a MUST....ignore the people who complain! We want to see the whole thing! Have a blessed day young man. 😁🎺🇺🇸
Thank you for the kind words! Them keys get a bit slippery on me time to time 🤣
@@itsbrad 😊
Wow it felt like you were showing us a house. I love it!!! 😍
Glad you liked it!!
I purchased a 2002 1172 with a 2002 Chevrolet 3500. Still the truck but out grew the Lance. I purchased a Jayco 5th wheel 27.5 RL Half Ton so my old stock Duramax can tow it. I do miss the convenience of the Lance. I was second owner of the truck and camper and kept it for 5 years before my width and girth out grew it. The Jayco has a wider door :)
I loving my 975 so far!
Pretty strong pull out game right there 😂 what a goat!
🤷🏼♂️🤣
These camper trailers have come a very long way since the days of fiberglass caps.
Great little showman Brad.
😬
In 1970 my dad bought a brand new 10'3" Lance camper from the factory for $1995.00 !! How things have changed!
And coke use to be a nickel
And gas was .036/gallon ⛽😳
@@twiceisneverenough Less than that where I lived. You could fill up a VW Beetle for less than 3 dollars.
As long as the roof doesn't leak!
Nice video bud. Well done. Great camper. Love Lance quality.
Thank you!
You’re funny! “Storage for potato chips. More storage for chips”, “sofa bed for kids or an adult you don’t like”!
Great review! That is an awesome quality unit.
Your Commentary....🤣🤣🤣
That Side Window Adds to the Sleek Look...
Also, can you show the inside with the Slides in please?
I ❤the 🚽 and 🚿
I'm a truck driver and I am fascinated by these small campers! I'd love to buy one and attach it to local utilities - is that even possible? - if I ever decide to. Your review was very extensive and well thought and I enjoyed it. Yes, I was watching when you asked if anyone was. :)
Most, if not all, truck campers come with a cord for grid tie-in. I have a '99 Lance that came with a 25 ft., 3-prong extension cord.
A washer and dryer would complete this. Great video.
Nice looking truck camper. The magazine rack could be used for a spice rack maybe too. Be safe.
Thank you!
Dry bath is definitely a plus. Still prefer a camper with no slides tho for how compact they are
Slides can also break and, in my case, be damaged by a tire blowout. The repair bill would have been a few hundred dollars but they had to manually take the slide apart to remove it which added another $4000+ to the bill.
@@robertd9850 Gees!!!😬😬😬
Unbelievable how roomy they are. I could live in that!!
Lance needs to make locks on all those little doors like the fresh water
They do, keyed the same as the door lock now, not as many keys to keep up with finally lol
Beautiful camper Brad, I wish I had the coin and the heavy duty truck to put it on! My Silverado 2500 HD can't handle that much weight in the bed. Thanks for the update!
I was able to get the 975 Lance Camper, but now trying to find a phat butt to haul it that’s priced at or under retail 🤣
@@itsbrad Finding a used flatbed dually might be easier.
You are very enjoyable to watch!
Thanks, Mark!
Hi Brad…any idea when the Truman tankless will be available? Also, would love it if you’d also share your knowledge about the quality, workings of the slide mechanisms in each truck camper. You do a great job! You’re a pleasure to listen to without arrogance or salesmen typical pushiness.
Nice job Brad. She is a beaut. Cheers!!!
Thanks!
Key rack holder works well... Thanks for the walk through.
Dang that is an awesome camper. Thanks for sharing.
Yessir!
Geez, that is sooooo well designed and great video!!!
Great video Brad...Like the new color accents...not a fan of the windows as they scratch easy. Your the best!
Thanks Jon!
Thanks for making me smile 😃 love your video brother
Glad I could! Thanks for watching!
Wow, what a camper! There was really nothing I didn't like or want to change, except the black graphics on the outside. Love the dry bathroom, and the kitchen sink area is well thought out. The odd thing was the external antennae cable hookups are inside a big flat door (exterior compartment) so that means you have to leave that panel door open if you hook to a cable(?) Hope I'm wrong but that seems kinda hokie, design-wise.
Very well explained and shown….thank you!
Why is every Brad good lookin? Thanks for video!
Shockingly nice. I'm very interested in these..
very nice. Love side entry vs. rear entry to avoid hitch of boat or trailer that towing.
Nice camper............I like all the exterior storage which is normally nearly non-existent on truck campers. Interior looks very livable.
I have mixed feelings on the new acrylic windows. I have one of the Dometic acrylic windows on the front of my 2018 Lance trailer. They are nice as they let in a lot of light, have good insulating qualities, and open really wide. That being said, they are fragile and scratch very easily. You have to clean/polish them with special window cleaning solutions and a microfiber cloth so you don't scratch the window while you clean it. No Windex and paper towels here. There are folks on the Lance forum that are finding that replacing one of these windows that are a few years old can be problematic and very expensive as some of the earlier window models have gone out of production (including my window).
Something to think about when you are off-roading, branches scraping against the windows, great job Lance?
Two of my glass windows have a scratch down the side of them thanks to the delivery driver getting too close to a tree. I don’t see that being cheap to correct 🙂
@@itsbrad Probably not, but that's part of the "joy" of off roading.
I’d like to see it with the slides in . Inside thanks great vlog
I can definitely add that in on my next 1172 vid 😊
Brad use a 16 mm wide angle lens next time. I use Sony I'm retired Navy Photographer.
Thanks for the tip! Do you know if that’s something the go pro hero 8 black has/offers? That’s the camera I use
Pretty much everything kicks out 👌
That’s right 🦵
Good tour, nice camper.
ONCE AGAIN YOU NAILED IT BRAD!!!...WELL DONE!!!...
HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON TO YOU AND YOURS!!!
Thank you, Matthew! Hope you do as well!
Too hilarious. At 18:57, LOL. The dude in the orange vest is peeing in the parking lot beside a truck. Out the right side bedroom window. LMAO!!!
I’m pretty sure he’s texting… lol
Truck campers hold value 10x over a bumper pull...so I've seen guys hauling these on a tandem axle car hauler...one they use daily for a skid steer hauling.
Interesting! Why is that?
@@MarisaAdelle If you put it on an aluminum trailer it can be easily pulled by an SUV.
Why do they hold value over a bumper pull? (like a TT/5th wheel??)
@@MarisaAdelle they are more rare, smaller and usually better built because they don't rely on the trailer frame for their strength.
Love it Brad. That’s pretty much the same as the one we ordered. Same interior colours. Only difference is the options we picked. We went with the regular microwave and oven, 2 lithium batteries, 2 solar panels, propane generator, tankless water heater, LTE cell phone extendable antennae, roof racks. Do you know what size that TV is? I’m not sure. I’ve never seen a blu ray player option in any type of RV. We bought our own 12V portable blu ray to plug into the TV in our 992.
Thanks for the tour. I really like the new type windows and the black accent and the standard features especially the 4 season package.
I’m also curious as to why they deleted that rear side window though.
This one was actually supposed to have the Truma Tankless Aqua Go Heater and was told it’s no longer an option at the moment
Sounds like you got the good options. Is be interested in knowing if that extended range antenna works and is it worth the price. Also, have tankless hot water at home, love it, no more cold showers when I'm last. Hopefully the mobile tankless works well and can keep up with the demand. Take care.
Thank you for sharing I just enjoy these campers and back the truck do you have one or can you get one with a fireplace in it?
No fireplace option yet 🔥
your very good at your job
Thank you!
Potato chips...more Potato chips storage, adults y'all don't care about...brother you had me pissing my pants, funny shit. Great video, nice unit. PS they should have kept the window...big miss there
If I'm not mistaken Lance cheaped out by taking away glass windows and gave you crappy "plastic" windows that will soon be scratched up. Correct me if I'm wrong
I’d prefer my ‘21 975 to have the acrylic kick out windows over my glass windows that kick out 3-4” max. Practically unusualness for letting more air and light in
if charm, humour and entertainment value were a factor, Brad would have about a billion dollars in sales every year 😏
Billions of $$ sounds nice lol
@@itsbrad and you'd deserve it, Brad! 😉
Great showing.
I love this camper, it has so much room. We can handle this with our GMC 3500 Dually
Sure thing!
Great video young man!
Thank you!
I never see truck camper at RV shows
Dude, you're hilarious! 👌
Thanks JP!
