We have loved our rig just wish we could go more. Keep in mind that the 2012+ diesel trucks all have DEF along with DPFs and other EPA friendly instruments that supposedly help with mileage as well as the environment, but they can also leave you stranded when they fail or you run out of DEF. This was the reason I bought our Ram in 2011 as it was the only 1 ton of the big three that didn't have the DEF. I've also made some modifications to enhance its performance and reliability (DPF / EGR deletes). Anyway, that is something to keep in mind as well.
This back couch is what makes the 1172 Lance's biggest seller I think as it gives you the ability to sit down in the camper (it also reclines) without having to crawl into your dinette area. The 1172 is also one of the few multiple slides that doesn't sit over the rails. Many TC today sit above the rails which I've always felt puts the unit to high. Just my opinion of course.
I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago near Bartlett so I know the area well...feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions.
