Want and new Truck Camper? Needs recliners

Hi currently Have a 2006 Lance 1055, it’s ok but we are going to full time for a year or three and in need to have a comfortable chair to recline in.

I know the Lance 1172 is one choice can you let me know what some other choices might be? Thanks. Mike

  • There is no recliner in the 1172, it is a jack knife sofa that has foot rests that come out but the back does not recline. Maybe the 2019 is different than the 2018. I have a 2018 1172 and would not call the rear sofa "comfortable" since the foot rests hit me (a whopping 5'8") at mid calf.
  • I just picked up a 2018 Eagle cap 1165, and spent 5 days in it. I absolutely love it! It is the most comfortable truck camper i have ever been in. Prior to purchase, I spend 3 years checking out every big eagle Cap, Lance and Host I could get into. I was very impressed by the lance 1172, and the Host Mammoth and Cascade, but found the 1165 to be best suited to me.

  • The Host Cascade comes with recliners and the Everest can have the rear sofa replaced with them. My Mammoth has a love seat with foot rest but does not recline - It has enough room for one recliner but not two in that location.
