It never ceases to amaze me what you can get on the back of a pick-up truck. Very nice!!!

I have spent the last 3 years paying off debt, researching and renting pull behinds. Thought I would have to have a bumper pull....til I saw this video. Omg! Gotta go work on that Lance budget!!!

[@RunawayRoses]

Hi Sheila Spence, Good job on paying off debt! We try to live debt free as well. I recommend to my friends to pay cash for a camper and to not go into debt. Truck campers are great for just one or two people. The downside to a truck camper is you also have to have a good strong truck to go with it. If you have a good tow vehicle already it may be less expensive to find a travel trailer. Good luck on whatever you decide to get and safe travels. Thanks for watching!

As a journeyman sailboat interior designer fabricator for the second largest sailboat manufacturer in the world I am very impressed with amount of storage there seems to be no wasted space at all and as the old saying goes there is never enough storage space I am very impressed!

[@kd4pon]

You are going to love your Lance! I have a 2018 1/2 Lance 1575. I spent three months working in West Virginia last winter. It got down to 7 Deg F. The Lance insulation and windows kept us toasty warm. You will burn 4 to 5 Lbs of propane every 24 hours at 7 Deg F.

That camper is absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations!

Beauty, form, and function all rolled into one. I’m so proud and happy for you. Let the good times roll.

[@coltwinchester6124]

That is nice. I just bought a 1997 Sun Lite pop up slide in camper. It hasn't been used for years and sat inside a barn. Very clean inside and out. No fancy upgrades like yours, but only weighs 1,400 lbs. Can't wait to try it out. Yours is very nice, but I only paid $2,600 for mine. Congratulations on your new adventures.

[@elizabetha2056]

Really really really nice Truck Camper, best I've seen yet!! I grew up in the 60's and dad always had a pickup truck. First a shell topper, then a little tiny camper topper. By 1975 he had a crank up top camper with tent sides we could stand up in. That was his last. If he were alive he'd love these new campers! He'd be so amazed. Because of him I have to check them out all the time. My husband and I have owned 5 RVs over 30 years. Truck campers always call my name! :o)

[@2tmacisback]

Todd, first if all i want to congratulate you for bringing your daughter, Carla, along with you on trips. I have had two truck campers and enjoyed both. I've had about 5 pull trailers and 4 fifth wheels. I have liked all except one of the fifth wheels. Have good travels. Happy trails to you. Grandpa Terry.

[@dianee7778]

Truck campers are the best, and yours is stunning! I love everything you went with as far as finishes. Truck campers look tiny but are deceivingly big on the inside and feel really cozy. I rather drive one of these than pull a big trailer. I wish you many happy years in your new purchase!

We bought a brand new 2005 Lance camper with the exact layout you guys have. I loved it to the moon and back! They really are the cadillac of campers. Everything is well thought out, designed and top quality. It was a very sad day when we had to sell her. ENJOY!!!

[@KiMJones307]

I thought the Big Foot was the Cadillac until I got a look at this Lance!

[@kathy6101]

Lovely camper and lovely couple who are enjoying it together. I am happy for you both. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I never really new truck campers could be so homey and roomy. Beautiful interior; love the bath! It is all around the best truck camper I have ever seen. Also, I noticed how nice the Ram truck color matches the camper - SHARP! Enjoy!

[@igray5311]

Wow the tanks are amazing on this. The fresh water tank is larger than many standard RV's. Nice video.

[@itsbrad]

Y’all already having it look like home! I enjoyed your video (and subscribed to see many more)! Go make many more memories in your new Lance 975! And once again, thank you for coming to us!

The way you two bounce off each other giving the look see is priceless. Great review.

[@sid5156]

I just subscribed. It was your comment about admitting its a new camper and still learning that hooked me. I really appreciate honesty. Looking forward to learning more about the camper from your videos. Take care.

[@RunawayRoses]

Hi Damnit Sid, Thanks for the sub and comment. We are still learning about our new Lance and are sure are enjoying it while doing so. I got a few upgrade ideas I hope to make some videos about as well. Thanks for watching!

[@luissantiago9564]

Wow it's gorgeous. God bless it if you still have it. I'm just seeing this now 2 years later.

We had a lance ,the longer one, no slide. They are a great truck camper. We called it our little beach buggy. Lots of fun. Sure do miss it!

[@jorgensen8]

Having owned a truck camper ourselves, I wish you many enjoyable years of use! Our first new one costs $6k as we didn't know if we would like camping. Well we loved it and are on our third one now.

[@danielkemmet2594]

I hope you two are having a BLAST. That thing looks so cool!

[@donnaocasio45]

Congratulations on your new camper . I just bought my truck today to carry my new retirement home and will be getting my camper in the next few days or so . Had my mind set on a different truck camper but now idk. So happy for y’all 😁

[@BuellXB12SDucati1198]

Nice! Plenty of upgrades are on your list once you get familiar with the camper. A couple of quick suggestions. When closing cabinet doors push in the latche buttons don't click them shut as the little metal catches will bend or come lose at the screw. Change out the frosted glass on the entrance door with tinted safety glass. Get a dehumidifier for colder weather to reduce humidity levels. Enjoy your new camper.

[@shaunsmith3276]

Just because it’s a Lancer I think it’s great I think you’ll have a great time in it and you seem like a great couple good luck and happy camping

[@jameskelson1891]

That was a nicely done video, but it did convince me that I would never want the Lance 975. My Northstar Igloo is shorter, weighs much, much less and has way more interior storage, actual counter space, a more comfortable, useable dinette and table. And I can stop and use the bath, kitchen, dinette and bed without extending a slide. I can camp on a friend's residential street in full stealth mode without a slide. I do not need to worry about a 12 year roof guarantee. My heavy gauge aluminum roof is 16 years old and looks like new except for some stains and gray patina. After showers I do need to use a squeegee for a minute or so to dry the walls and floor. Having living and storage space is more important to me.

[@treetopflyersofva2]

We have been watching you for a while and have learned so much from you all about truck campers and what to get for them and how to take care of them. Because of you as well as several other truck camper channels after several years of looking we bought a new Lance 1172. Now you all own a new Lance also. Awesome! You look so happy with it and we now know we made the right decision if you bought a Lance. We can’t wait to see videos of your travels in it. We solved our dog problem by buying the Pet Car Step Stairs Accordion from Amazon. Thank you for your videos.

[@RunawayRoses]

Hi John Harley, Congrats on the Lance 1172. We love those and were trying to decide between the 975 and 1172. The 975 just seemed to work for our wants and needs right now. Carla just purchased an accordion step thing from amazon maybe it's the same one. I hope it works! I hope you enjoy your 1172 and have lots of fun with it. Thanks for watching!

Nice video. Is that noise the A/C. I think it is. I and most folks hate how loud RV A/C units are. You would think that by now, 2021, we could have quiet A/C. Love that bathroom! What is the weight? Truck campers might be a solution for those who want to house/store it in a garage. More great adventures ahead for you guys. Keep us posted. Thanks for showing it to us.

This is a beautiful camper. So much room and big fridge.

[@KiMJones307]

I noticed some space in the front of your truck bed, could the camper slide further into the bed to take up that space? Another question - don't you need tie downs for the camper to the truck? Tip: Take your license plate off the rear of the truck before mounting the camper so you can put the plate on the back of the camper. (wink) AWESOME camper - Lance has put a lot of thought into this!

[@Sam-M7]

Congratulations! I hope you have many years enjoying that beautiful camper!

[@josephrobichaud5198]

Love how they have figured out how to fit a qt. of jello in a pint jar. :) There's more counter space, and a better bathroom then most regular camping trailers. At the price of a truck I'd need to haul it with now a day's it just would not work for me, but really like it!

I’ve looked into custom van conversions, skoolies, tiny homes, travel trailer living. I hear a lot of nightmare stories dealing with inconsistent temperatures. One thing you HAVE to do is make sure you get a 4-SEASON your full-time living. So happens truck campers are 4-season.

[@joedoak3478]

We took out the table and booth seats and installed 2 wall hugger recliners and love them so comfortable and roomy for lounging

[@jennifergraham612]

[@izzyvet]

I had a Northern Lite, loved it, but got an Earthroamer a few years ago.. not having to worry about propane, a generator or a black tank is soooo nice! And I can drive it more places than the truck camper I had. And they are made just north of where I live!

[@heartslessons6243]

For our TV we went to Walmart and bought Chromecast a device the plugs in your TV and wall outlet. Then download that to your phone or computer. Cost about 29.00- 30.00 no monthly fee on that. Then we have Hulu that's 6.00 per month. So we cast the movie from our phone to the TV. Yes you have to have internet for it to work. But most places have internet that you can use. It's the best way for us and cheaper. Just a thought for you.

I just found your channel, I've been watching a few of your videos. LOL you guys change truck campers faster than I can watch videos. LOL good channel really, like your last setup with the rails on the truck.

[@justjohnny05]

i always believe in basing what should go in a space and how much space it should use based on how much time you are going to use it each day, kitchen maybe 90 mins or more a day, dining area maybe an hour a day, bathroom/ shower maybe one hour a day, living / tv area 3 or more hours a day, bedroom / sleeping area 8 or more hours a day...............................................

Beware: stopping on a sloped parking area of any kind then activating slide will result in slide failure. The manual indicates no more than 6 degrees I believe. Also. Generator is not designed to operate unless on level ground. Crank all you want. It won't start. Lesson learned. Wet Cell Interstates. Only 17 to 22 hours max unattended. There is lots of current draw discharging these batteries. Reefer eats up gobs of DC electricity

[@digitt2]

I thought Lance Campers where best designed campers in the World until I lived in one for more than 10 years. I hate windows and want to be dry, warm and cool with lots of usable food storage configurations. I have two frig's a full size microwave, 40lb ice maker and bottled water dispenser, but by far the coolest thing I have is a cloths washer. OMG it is the best upgrade ever. Kill your shower and get a cloths washer. I want Cabinet storage and lots of drawers so I did that all with a stone travertine floor. Please excuse the dirty bong. 94 Lance Squire retro remodel
