- Come along as we take you inside the largest RV Show in the USA from a truck camper enthusiasts perspective. We're checking out Lance, Northern Lite, Host, Kingstar, Cirrus and THE HILT!
I agree, it's all about the windows when full-timing in a camper
Windows are key! I hate the feeling of being in a box so windows make a big difference
Eugene, Oregon.
We hit the RecreateVehicles show at the fairgrounds.
Of the two Super-C rigs, one shower was approximately 18"/.5m square.
I am 6'3", my shoulders touched both walls.
.
I am convinced factory RecreateVehicles are designed by committees of non-camping accountants.
I totally agree on that the design teams of these companies are not designing it with campers in mind. Accountants and business men just making decisions based on production and cost
Marissa said it all “I don’t like campgrounds, I like to boondock”
She hit the nail on the head there. We’re excited to get back to boondocking out west in the next month or so
@thecumminscamper if it’s AZ or CA let me know!
@@AndrewOtovic it’ll be both my dude! I’ll definitely let you know. Would be great to see you again!
Thanks for the TC tour , safe travels ~peace~
Thank you for watching and for the well wishes!!!
Awesome job Marissa!
Another awesome video!!
Love your way of thinking “ Hate Campgrounds”!!!
We bought a 2020 Lance 1172 right when Covid hit. It’s a pre covid camper and back when the price hadn’t gone through the roof. Our does have a queen size bed. The main reason we bought the 1172 was because of the couch and being so roomy.
Your hard work on your camper makes it exclusively your own and like you said “there’s no place like home”! You truly have your million dollar camper!!!!
Thanks so much. That 1172 couch was awesome. I want that extra space! Greatly appreciate you watching and commenting!
17:43
We owned a restaurant business for ten years.
We prefer at least 18"/.5m clear work-zone each side of the *single-tub* sink, and each side of the range.
I don’t blame you. Needing some cutting space is key. I don’t want to always have to food prep at my table. I want some counter space!
Dinette is more valuable then extra poop space.
Great video you two!
Drive down to Nicaragua I have a place for you to stay!
Thank you so much for watching. I need a happy blend of space for the morning movement and a dinette hahaha. One day hopefully we’ll make it to Nicaragua. We love Central America but still have yet to go there in our camper.
After seeing all those truck campers, my favorite by far is yours…love your set up. I have an older Adventurer on a Ram 3500 but would love a 5500 with flatbed. Keep up the great video’s, love watching you guys up here in cold ass Alaska.
Thanks Tom so much for watching! We agree on our camper being the favorite after seeing all the stock campers. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t still thinking about that couch on the 1172. You could always put a flatbed on your 3500 and be 90% of the way there!
When we were looking for our camper I was in Phoenix for work so swung by a dealer and looked at new and old campers. The 1172 is enticing but I never liked the newer Lance layouts. This was 2018. On my flight home (CT) I found a 2003 1161 in the Berkshire’s and we immediately went to look at it. Fell in love as the layout is great + side entry door. Put deposit on it and picked it up a few weeks later. I’ve since completely rebuilt the slide out frame and rear wings and now she’s 100% structurally solid.
It’s on a 2018 Ram 3500 CC Laramie. We use it a lot in the summer and it’s under cover in the winter.
@@thecumminscamper I have been thinking about that, pretty limited for options up here in Anchorage, but there are a few.
@@2omega9 sounds like you got a great camper. I love the 1161 layout!
Thank you Marissa. I appreciate your opinion on the aesthetics of each camper. I will be a female traveling alone with a truck camper. I am in the beginning stages of finding my rig. The way it looks and feels inside is important to me. I found your contribution very helpful. Thank you.
You needed to find the Switch Crew. We had dinner each night of the show. Kind of looked like we were on the other side of the show.
I MISSED OUT ON FOOD! Ahh mannnn! Super fun RV show. I get why people make a point to go
Good job thanks keep it up you guys rock
So kind of you to say! Thank you!!!
Great video thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for the kind words!!!

That right there is our definition of 'couple'.
Side-by-side, doing stuff together.
I think the two of you... sweet!
Many thanks! We love doing stuff like this together.
My favorite truck camper is an Eagle Cap 1165. I love the bathroom and the island. Big and heavy though
The Eagle Cap 1165 is a sweet camper. I love them also. It’s a shame they’re not being built anymore. I’ve been in a friend’s 1165 before and was super impressed. As I write this lounging in our single slide camper I’m still a happy dude with our set up. Plus it’s paid for 😂
@@thecumminscamper I have found a few 1165’s for sale, if I could find an affordable truck to haul it I would have one. They are still being built but only to order if I remember right it’s been a couple of years since I spoke to them they have to have few ordered to be worth building but I am not sure if they survived the pandemic.
@@nevysadventuresllc9074 that’s great that they’re still building to order. I forget who the parent company is of Eagle but I know Scout campers are owned by the same folks and I think Adventure too? I’m surprised the luxury, large TC market wasn’t profitable enough post COVID with the increase in RV sales for them to thrive. I don’t know enough about the situation to say I’m super well read on it but just my opinion.

Marisa did great getting dressed!
I appreciate your layered look, the intersectionality of plaid and corduroy blazer, and the flirty partially-unbuttoned shirt over the tanktop!
Faded torn jeans, sandals!
[standing ovation!]
That woman is adorable!
.
.
Too much?
I could tone it down some...
You’re doing great! Don’t tone anything down 😂
Stop by if you’re in the area. Look us up in Northern California in the summer and Los Barriles in the winter
Will do! Thank you for watching and for offering a place to stay!
Bummer, no Palomino Backpack truck campers. We bought a
HS 8801 last year. Never see them much, but it was hard to find one a year ago. Thanks for the walk through the show.
Thanks for watching! I don’t know why Palomino wasn’t there. I wonder if I missed their booth?
Thanks for the tour, have fun. 😊🇨🇦
Thanks for watching and commenting! We hope you enjoyed the tour!
Go Detroit lions
We love our team!
Go Lions!
"You ready to get a job to make us a million dollars a year" 😂
MY wallet would be lighter every month I know that 🤗
RVs are insanely expensive!
@@thecumminscamper On a more serious note (my other was as as well I suppose), glad I came across your channel this morning. Fun, light and good editing. Guess I'm here for the long haul 🤘
@@thisisntgood71 thanks so much for the kind words and for subscribing! Looking forward to bringing you some more fun videos
FYI if you cant stand the fire alarm grab a shower cap and use it to cover the alarm while you cook.
We struggle equally to remember to put the shower cap on as we do with taking the smoke detector down. We cook first ask questions later 😂

2003, we engineered our ExpeditionVehicle with a rear entry.
We like the sight-lines; we think the shorter wider 'drag-strip' down the center contributes to the visual and visceral sense of openness.
.
(I took a moment just now to measure our combo walk-way/exercise-zone/dance-floor -- 48"/1.3m across by 7'2"/2.2m long.
We increase the feeling of openness with zero cabinets above waist-level.)
.
With a side-entry, the sight-line is immediately slammed into the cabinets/water-closet opposite the entry.
We think that chops the interior into obstructive chunks.
.
And that truck is no longer available as a truck, it is permanently a factory RecreateVehicle.
.
An aside:
We occasionally travel through areas with right-hand drive, traffic in the left lane.
Any side-entry will eventually be opening into traffic.
We were at the Tampa show, our first time. I loved the Kingstar model with the dinette! We ended up buying a small Class C. I just couldn't deal with the wet bath in the truck campers. We mostly camp at state parks because we love the nature but don't need the 'fluff' in private campgrounds. We haven't done much boondocking yet, just an overnight at a casino in Erie PA.
A class C is great. We’d strongly consider a class C in our future. The convenience of the access from the cab of the truck to the house is a big selling point for us. The wet bath is the worst part of a truck camper. We hardly use ours. Thanks for watching our video!
thanks for taking us along, I missed the Atl. show.
Thanks for watching! We’re so glad you got a chance to vicariously attend the Tampa one with us. Which RV was your favorite from the rv show we went to?
the one that had the bigger shower
@@sabrinafayard2679 that was our favorite too!
Shocked you liked that one couch so much. Looks like it was a bit small for your tall frame. Was also shocked at a few price tags I saw, considering I remember what you got yours for. Granted you had some work to do…but still.
The couch is definitely a little small for my size. I should have tried the recliner function to see how I fit when the couch was in that position. The price tags are nuts!! Pre-Covid used truck campers were so inexpensive. Definitely one of our best purchases ever
Man….. I’m jealous!!! I love campers and I LOVE Fl haha
It was a lot of fun! A great weekend activity. I’m sure y’all will be bringing baby Huber down to FL on vacations
I just picked up your channel about three videos ago, i’m really enjoying your videos. Marissa is doing a great job!
Did I hear you say something about a diesel heater? !! I’m gonna search your channel and see if I can find more about your install. I’m currently looking at the Webasto and a small wood burner. Looking for an used Bigfoot or Northern Lite to couple with a F550. Alaska bound!
So glad you picked up our channel! Appreciate you watching and commenting. We do have a diesel heater. I did a repair video on it a while back which showcased how the heater is fitted into our camper. They’re pretty easy to install. We took out the old propane furnace and put the diesel heater in its place and then I made a hodgepodge of a manifold system to distribute the heat throughout the camper. It works great. 4 years of use. The only issues I’ve had with it were from my own doing lol. Checkout Autoterm diesel heaters. They’re less expensive than the webasto and super reliable.
Hi, its nice to see a vid on just truck campers. I was at the show on Wed, I looked at what you looked at, pretty much. I have a 2021 Artic Fox 1150 sitting on a F450 flatbed, It has seen 25 states so far. I just subscribed, looking forward to your travels. If you are heading north and need a FREE spot to hang ouy, I have a couple acres with hookups if you want to stop by. I'm 25 miles west of Ocala. Safe Travels
Thanks for watching and subscribing! We might be headed to Ocala in the next few weeks! I’ll reach out if we can make a stop and meet ya. An 1150 on a 450 sounds like an awesome set up!!!!
Id definitely add solar, alternater charger, lithuim mods. Im studying earthroamers products.
All super important things to have on any earthroamer style rig!
07:54
Some folks [points to self] define a pay-camp as a RV mental ward.
Although... there is something to be said for:
* shuffleboard tournaments
* canasta marathons
* "Hi, I'm ___ " name-badges
* and a perky Activities Director.
It would be interesting for a video at your favorite Lance dealer, discussing what options and changes you two would like; on a new ordered 1172. Being 4” taller than you, I liked the comment about “knee room”!
It would be super fun to discuss these options with Lance themselves! Marisa would make a great interior designer for a camper brand.
I did like cirrus camper all electric, solar and lithum id add alt charger though..self sufficient
All electric is very cool. We’re considering doing that with our camper over time. My biggest resistance would definitely be giving up the propane cooktop. I’d have to put in a monster battery system to feel comfortable with just having an induction cooktop. Electric is the future for sure
@@thecumminscamper I've been studying earthroamers. They raised the bar. Do as much solar as the roof would allow. Alt charger with auto start.
Awesome stuff! I was curious what the Florida Super show was like as I have a few friends there. Side note we love our Kingstar camper but specifically the command center floor plan, it’s like a dinette office hybrid. We actually have a review in our Chanel if you have not seen it. Safe travels!
I’ll check out the Kingstar review video. We were so impressed by them. Easily our favorites TC brand at the show. The bathroom and shower set up is amazing
Seriously, the bathroom is what hooked us and then the command center floor plan sold us. Really love the fit and finish. Let me know what you think of it.
I wonder if you guys are looking at the Composite campers too? So much better that the standard brand poor build quality.
I don’t think composite campers were at this show. I’d love to see their product in person
I am a travel trailer Trash person. Take a look at the Outdoors RV nice job at Tampa RVS I did Sub.
Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing! I’ll checkout outdoors rv!
Do you know Grayson and Ashley from Our Full Time Adventure? You mentioned their name after checking out the Cirrus 820.
We sure do. We met them about 2 years ago in Nashville and talk to them periodically on instagram. Very nice people. The full time truck camper world under the age of 50-60 is small one so for that reason many of us know each other
@@thecumminscamper Oh ok. That's pretty cool. :)
Can't you guys remove your dinette and install couch from one of those rv furniture stores
We certainly could. I don’t think we’d be happy with a couch all the time. The dinette serves so many functions for us. We can push the table down into a couch/bed configuration if I’m really craving a couch. It’s a great idea and I’ve seen others do that and it comes out quite nice.
That would be perfect for me F 150
I agree!
Also when you were in con can that's only 1 and a half hours from my house. That was cool you were so close by.
@@humbertocarrionjr8111 super cool that we happened to be that close to you!
Not sure why the gxv storyteller has so much rear seating and not so mutch storage.
I think they’ll end up doing a lot of improvements and changes to the gxv over the coming years as people provide feedback. I’d be happy to tell them what I did do differently!
