2020 Lance 1062 | Truck Camper - RV Review: Camping World 

They really know how to build them!

That does sound amazing, April!

We completely agree with you Vicki!

What that bootty smell like

Thanks for watching, Joanne!

Let us know if you need any help finding one in the future!

Thanks John, I try to be straight forward and honest in all my reviews. Thanks for watching and for the comment! -Ian Baker

Thanks Al. -Ian Baker

Thanks for the feedback!

Carolyn, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos and I agree that Lance Campers are pretty great. That being said, unfortunately I just can't recommend putting a 1062 on a SRW truck. With a wet weight of almost 4,100 lbs, that overloads just about every SRW 1 ton out there. So if you love the 1062, I would plan on getting a dually. As for the 110 outlet, I will have to go in the unit to verify, but I'm fairly certain there is one located under the cabinets by the light. Thanks so much for watching and for the question! -Ian Baker

Hoffman's Landscaping thank you for the replied. That’s what I thought, just wanted to confirm.

Camping World thank you Ian for the reply! Considering the fact that my purse is overloaded, I’m confident I could fill a camper too! 😉 I just want to match the camper with the appropriate size truck! Thanks so much!

Yes, we can absolutely help with the tie downs and turnbuckles! Honestly, it's your call but in my personal opinion I'd say it's cutting it a little close. Here is my thought process...The WET weight of the 1062 (because most people travel with water and propane in a truck camper) is a little under 4,100 lbs. Add to this two people at an average 150 lb weight and you're up to 4,400 lbs. That only leaves you around 300 lbs for gear which is not enough in my opinion. Hopefully that helps and great questions! -Ian Baker

You are quite welcome!

Aj, unfortunately not. The slide in the 1062 pretty much completely closes off the camper. Thanks for watching and for the question! -Ian Baker

Hey Al, thanks for the compliments. Yes, Lance and Arctic Fox are fairly comparable in quality. That being said, Lance truck campers are usually a little bit lighter for the equal size campers because Arctic Fox uses a wood core in their aluminum tubing for framing which adds weight. Unfortunately most of the larger slideout truck campers almost demand a dually simply because of the weight (despite what the manufacturer tries to say you can use). With truck campers you have to account for not just stuff packed and water/propane etc, but also the weight of the passengers in the truck and anything you pack in the truck. You could probably haul the Lance 850, but it's a long way from the 1062. Sorry I couldn't be of more help and good luck in your hunt! -Ian Baker

Camping World Good afternoon Ian, hope all is well. Been a little busy but wanted to ask you what brands you sell? Would like to purchase from you due to your helpful, immediate replies. Very rare, especially on YT. Do you sell Northernlite? Also don’t want to waste time looking at truck toppers that are too heavy for my GMC Sierra 2500HD. Some of your campers are amazing but they require a ton+ truck. Don’t think we need a slide as this unit is needed for enjoying the road while heading to some properties we have around our great nation. Glancing/listening to the vids while heading to work is helpful but will definitely have call you later today. Just need a few options to compare. Any truck campers with the 1062 quality options with a lighter footprint? Sorta can tell the total step down in materials with the smaller unit. (Wolf Creek 850) Actually the 855s looks great even with the slide. Thanks again for all your help and talk soon.

@@alursino3213 Hey Al, unfortunately they don't allow me to sell anymore...That being said, send me a email at Ian.Baker@campingworld.com and I'll make sure I get you in contact with a good friend of mine at the Grand Rapids location who has excellent truck camper knowledge (probably even more than myself as he's been selling truck campers for over 20 years!). He'll help determine what your truck can handle and help you find a lighter weight Lance, Arctic Fox or possibly a Wolf Creek. Thanks Al and I'll look for your email! -Ian Baker

Camping World You hit the big time, congrats!! Will do. Thanks

Hi Vince! We're sorry to hear about this. Did you ever take it in to be looked at?

Camping World , no I didn’t, I bought it in New Hampshire at a lance dealer and I now live in North Carolina. Moving it at this point would be expensive

Yeah, that would be tough. What can we do at this point to help?

Camping World , You sound like a wonderful group of people, it was a wonderful camper when it was new it was the small 825 for an 8 foot bed truck. It wasn’t my intention to cause any chaos, I was just Stating what happened. You were certainly under no obligation as I did not purchase the unit from you. Good luck and thank you for caring

Not a problem at all! If there's anything we can do to help in the future please don't hesitate to reach out. Have a fantastic rest of your weekend 😀

Joseph Hicks 54k ha smh why

Good grief!!! Not for that tiny shower w/o expansion. Add two batteries?

Heck if i had 54k I’d put a huge down payment on a 5th wheel,lol

I think its worth it.

Hmmm I agree it's a lot. There's always used or "lightly used" ones, though, and they are around 24k or less. Depends on what you find. As for purchasing a fifth wheel instead - I understand the point, but if you're looking at a truck-camper, you probably want the freedom, and maneuverability, of the compact size. You can fit in more locations, and you don't have to worry about towing. I would think a fifth-wheel is meant for someone who is going on long-trips where they find a spot and sit for several weeks, to several months. I don't really think a person would generally be sitting here thinking "hmm this fifth wheel, or that truck camper." They're meant for very different travel styles.

Arne, the "10" in 1062 is because the model has over a 10 ft floor length. I'm not sure what the "62" designates however. Sorry I only have half the answer! -Ian Baker

Also, old style oven, and old style stereo/DVD player. This is NOT a 2020 model

Thank you for the feedback!

@@campingworld Or I could look on the Lance site and SEE the dimensions.....lol. Kudos to Lance for HAVING them. Some makes of truck camper, I have to walk inside with a tape measure. Lance has been the leader in having adequately-sized dinette beds.

Unfortunately not. A Hilux has a cargo capacity around 2,700 lbs and the Lance 1062 has a wet weight of nearly 4,100 lbs. You will need a full size dually truck to carry this camper. Thanks for watching and for the question. -Ian Baker

We apologize for this and we have made note of this. We are always looking for ways to improve our videos!

@@campingworld your videos are good 👍

Thank you for the feedback!

Lol, these big boys aren't the lightest things are they? -Ian Baker

I can understand the sticker shock as it is certainly more expensive per sq ft than a 5th wheel. However truck campers certainly have a lot of advantages as a style of camping and if you ask an avid truck camper person, they'll probably tell ya they wouldn't trade it for any other style of RV. Don't get me wrong, they're not for everyone, but believe me when I say that a lot of people will pay $50k+ for this camper. Thanks for watching and for the comment! -Ian Baker

We appreciate your feedback Brian!

Scott, I understand your frustration, however that is not the case. The website unfortunately is just not built to easily find truck campers. We have 3 locations that consistently stock new truck campers (Grand Rapids, MI / Denver, CO / Boise, ID). To navigate to truck campers, click on the "small campers" button along the top, then on the side panel you'll want to select just "truck campers" under the "floorplan" filter. I hope this helps and happy RV shopping! -Ian Baker
