At the time of weighing the Ram 3500 diesel dually curb weight was 9100 lbs. The load included a driver & 1 passenger , full tank of gas 50 gallons , 5 gallons DEF , tools , couple packs bottle water and personal belongings. Payload rating of our truck is 5300 lbs. I would say with the Lance 1172 on board with options , 2 30lbs propane , with dry weight meaning there is no fresh water , black & grey tanks are empty. We are pretty much closed to the limit GVWR 14000 lbs. All I can say is be mindful and cautious of your payload to avoid over loading. Hope this gives you some idea. Thanks for watching our channel.

I know it was a nerve racking experience. Amazingly we kept our cool. Anyway , Happijac is the brand and model of the Tie- downs and turnbuckles system that we used. Its the same tie down system we used with the 2003 Ram 3500 dually and Lance 1162 for almost 20 years before we traded in. Enjoy and safe travel to Pennsylvania. I'm sure you.re eager to buy the Lance. Thanks for watching our channel.

Glad to help. Comes in 2 sets one is the tie downs and another one is the turnbuckles. The model of the tie downs is the Happijac Camper Tie Downs- Custom Bed and Bumper Mount -Front and Rear. Part # LC236326-205221. The model of the turnbuckle is Happjac Quick- Load Turnbuckles. Part # LC182895. This tie down system is available to buy online at etrailer .com and will give you all description and specs. Just input your truck and camper info to double check the parts number. Mine was installed at the Parkview RV Center dealership prior to camper pick up. Congratulation on your new rig. Thanks for watching our channel.

In my opinion the Ram 3500 8 ft bed diesel dually is capable of handling the payload weight of the 1172 truck camper. The past year we travel around the country including the mountain ranges of Colorado and Utah. Ride was smooth and comfortable , have more than enough power and acceleration. I think the factory air bags suspension is a plus. The only thing is we travel with empty fresh water , black and grey tank so as to keep the weight down and avoid maxing the weight limit of the pickup truck. But overall we are very happy and satisfied road tripping with our rig.

Sorry for the late reply. There's been a pause in posting out new video. We are good. Camper is holding up well but the pickup truck had some electronic problem.

Sorry for the late reply. Is that Augusta in Georgia ? No we were not there. But hope to road trip there one day.

We are in the Town of Hempstead. Where did you moved to ? Thank you for watching our video and pls subscribe to help us grow our channel.

@@lancininthestreet6155 We moved to NC, also thinking of getting an 1172..I will subscribe and looking forward to watching your adventures across the USA

Thanks! Oh yes one of the best truck camper setup ever! Thank you for watching our channel.

Glad you like and are interested on owning the Ram truck and Lance camper setup. In our opinion it is one of the best truck camper especially when it comes to quality and workmanship. Lance also has a higher resale value. Our previous Lance 1162 that we owned for 20 yrs will serve as evidence. On our recent road trip NY to Utah and back via Arizona and Texas we drove approximate 5000 + miles , the average MPG was 14-16 depending on the terrain which is not bad considering the payload. The Ram 3500 dually handled the payload well and safely without any problems. The ride was smooth and comfortable. The dually and factory air bags is highly recommended. Another suggestion is distribute the weight load between the front and rear axle. To avoid overweighting overloading the truck , we try not to travel with full fresh water tank , full black and grey tank. We drain and dump fluids prior to driving out. On our trip we noticed that fresh water is readily available for fill up at gas stations, truck stops , camp sites , state parks and even rest areas. So I did not see a reason for hauling a full tank of fresh water. Probably save an extra 400 - 500 lbs additional weight. Just bring a long hose for access. In terms of power , pickup and acceleration in my opinion the 6.7 L turbo diesel was more than sufficient but you have the option to upgrade to the HIGH output diesel engine if you want. The Ram 3500 6.7L diesel dually with max camper payload that we drove was tested and passed the grueling and demanding driving on the Colorado and Utah mountain ranges up and down which peak to 5000 - 12000 ft above sea level. There was no shortage of power whatsoever. And the Ram Cummins diesel comes equip with the turbo exhaust engine brake which is superb and fantastic. Very highly recommended. We choose silver color for the pickup truck because it matches the grey mountain graphic design on the camper and the black out windows and accessories. Good luck on planning to set up your rig. Hope we were able to provide some advise answers that will help in your planning. Sorry for the late response. Thank you for watching our channel.

Congratulation on your new Lance 1172 ! The camper is rated 4 seasons if you ever decide to take it out in the winter. Just make sure propane tanks are full for the heating furnace. Your truck camper really took longer to built . I'm sure production line was so busy with many pre orders. Did you choose the lithium battery ? Our standard AGM battery was not holding the charge too well and power rans out fast. Time flies and passes quickly ! Soon you will be taking trips in your new rig. Happy for you guys. Congrats again ! Thank you for supporting and watching our channel.

We had previously owned a 2003 Lance 1161 and a Ram 3500 Hemi dually that we travelled with for almost 20 yrs. We were so satisfied with the quality , workmanship , durability and versatility of the rig , hence we traded to another Lance 1172 and opted same Ram 3500 truck. Yes I know its pricey but you get what you pay for. That's the reason why we bought the same rig setup. And its our retirement present for me and my wife , after working so hard the last 40 yrs. Thank you for watching our channel.

From what I can recall dry weight of the 1161 was 3495 lbs. Curb weight on the 2003 Ram 3500 gas dually is 7006 lbs. Truck and 1161 together weight was over 11,200 lbs including optional equipment , full fresh water tank , and 2 passengers. We had owned the 2003 1161 for 20 yrs before we traded to a 1172. Never had a major problem on the 1161 except on the last year the slide out frame sagged and went out of alignment. Thank you for watching our channel. Safe travels. Happy Thanksgiving !

Yes we are. Truck camping with the new rig is really fun , enjoyable and relaxing. Thank you for watching our channel. Happy Thanksgiving !

Oh yes! So many magnificent places to see and explore in such a short 3 weeks roadtrip. There's about 62 National Parks all over the USA that we plan and aim to visit God willing. Its a pleasure to bring and share our travel adventures as we go along. Thank you for watching our channel. Safe travels.

@@lancininthestreet6155 Ain't it the truth!! ;-) Hope you get to all of them! We plan on goingto more out of the way places. Safe travels!!

Not sure if we understand the question. I'm assuming its the mask ? Wearing mask is optional and precautionary . Does not mean a person has health issue ! Anyway , thank you for watching our channel. Hope you enjoyed it !

@@lancininthestreet6155 yes I know , just wasn’t sure ,I was hoping that’s all it was was precautionary , I glad to hear that ,we are also from Long Island , but we have 5th wheel , safe travels maybe we will run into each other ,save travels 😍

We are really excited travelling with the Lance 1172 rig. Thank you for watching our channel.

Exactly my thoughts! Thank you for watching our channel !

Yes! Fil-Am Filipino-American. Thank you for watching our channel.

Thank you for watching our channel.

Nice camper. Watch the wait. It's very heavy and see it bend a frame on a ram 3500. Should be on a 4500. 5500. Good luck

Yes it was! Thank you for watching our channel.

So far we have no issue with the dealership. Hope it stays that way. We brought back the Lance truck camper after 3 months for several minor problems. Things were repaired and taken care of and charged to warranty. And some parts were ordered. Thank you for watching our channel.

Sorry to hear about your negative experience. On our Ram 3500 truck bed the camper sat properly and squarely. Did not need any modification. I requested for the Hippajack tie down system which worked just fine. Thank you for watching our channel.

Food was good. Thanks for your support. Thanks for watching our channel.

An F450 will give you more payload capacity but it depends on the equipment option. In terms of power we are satisfied with the Ram standard 7.6 diesel. It has been field tested and proven on the mountain ranges of Colorado and Utah!!! No shortage of power and acceleration! Also very very excellent exhaust brake system. Saves your brake pads. Good luck on your choice of vehicle. Thank you for watching our channel.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support. Thank you for watching our channel.

Thanks! The hitch was a Ram factory installed equipment. Its a class 5 hitch with 2.5 inch opening. In combination with the hitch I used a Reese Titan 48 inches box extension that runs under the camper rear overhang. Thank you for watching our channel.

@@lancininthestreet6155 Thanks. Thought that was the 48 inch reese Titan. What have you towed with that hitch?

I have towed a utility trailer loaded with a Polaris Sportsman 500 ATV and alternate with a Harley Sportster 1200 motorcycle

Thanks! The truck camper is one of the most versatile and agile setup. Plus you have the advantage of 4 wheel drive system. Best of luck. Thank you for watching our channel.

Get a grip boy….they are sharing a wonderful experience and are not pro’s yet with wind etc. you are trying to rain on their parade and they won’t let you.

Thanks ! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching our channel.

Thanks! Will do! Thank you for watching our channel.

Thanks ! Thank you for watching our channel.

Thanks. Staying at field 6 overnight sounds good. We used to do 4wheeling at Democrat point in Robert Moses and fish for blues many years ago. It was fun! Btw we plan to tail gate with the Lance at the upcoming Santana concert at Jones Beach theater. Maybe we'll ran to each other around the area. Thank you for watching our channel.

Salamat Kabayan The Lance 1172 rig is really fun to camp around with . Mabuhay!

Our pleasure! God bless you too. Thank you for watching our channel.

We are so delighted with the 1172. We are loving it ! Really minor problem. I'm pretty sure your full of eagerness waiting for the arrival of the 1172. Pretty sure your going to love it. What kind of pickup will you use? By the way, we bought an extended warranty. You know, for peace of mind. Think about it. Appreciate your support . Thank you for watching our channel.

Thanks for your comments. I currently have a 2008 GMC 3500 dually diesel low mileage. We bought it with our current Lance camper 2 years ago a 2008 Lance 992. I will certainly look into the extended warranty. Our dealer is about a 3 hr drive from our house. Happy camping. 👍🇨🇦

Thanks. Glad you found our channel. I think its one of the best truck camper setup. A lot of thought was put in to it. Thank you for watching our channel.
