Don't for a moment believe the 'dry weight' figures you will find in brochures. Those figures are without appliances, etc.
When loaded to travel, the 1191 will weigh somewhat over 5000 pounds. The 1161 will be somewhat under that by a few hundred pounds.
The last year for the 1161 was 2005 and it is wood framed and has no basement, so the black/grey tanks reside under the overhang out back of the truck and the floor is about 10 inches lower (fewer steps to climb to get in).
The 1191 is an aluminum framed, basement model, with tanks under the whole floor of the camper. The outside roof height is also 10 inches higher than the 1161's so clearance under trees, etc., is less.
