What Lance Announced
Lance added a slide to its 1191 truck camper. The Lance 1191 Slide lists at $60,289 with a 3,930 lb dry weight, and Lance says it is best suited to a dually. Truck Camper Magazine reported the details on October 13 after interviewing Lance National Sales Manager Gary Conley. The slide keeps the hard-side, dry bath floor plan of the original, and the bath, kitchen, refrigerator, and cabover all work with the slide closed.
Lance reports a base price of $60,289, and units are shipping to dealers now.
Truck Camper Magazine lists a 45 gal fresh tank, 31 gal of grey water, and 24 gal of black water. The Lance product page shows different waste tank sizes, so confirm the figures with your dealer. Hookup gear matters on any trip longer than a weekend. A sewer hose kit, a water filter, and a drinking-safe hose make a typical starting set, and Camco makes all three. They are the RhinoFLEX 20-Ft Complete RV Sewer Hose Kit, the TastePURE RV Water Filter, and the TastePURE 25-Ft RV Drinking Water Hose.

Lance 1191 Slide Key Facts
Because the sources differ, the table uses figures from the Truck Camper Magazine interview. However, the Lance product page lists a lower 3,425 lb dry weight and a 3,973 lb wet weight, and the page does not explain the gap. Ask your dealer for the weight of the exact unit you order. Then plan around at least 3,930 lb, plus water, propane, gear, and options.
| Detail | Non-slide 1191 | 1191 Slide |
|---|---|---|
| Base MSRP | $55,949 | $60,289 |
| Base dry weight | 3,589 lb | 3,930 lb |
| Slide | None | About 72 in long, extends 16 in |
| Dinette storage | Overhead cabinets, one locking drawer | Two locking drawers, no overhead cabinets |
| Bunk bed option | Not available | Available |
The $4,340 slide adds about 8 percent to the base price. It also adds 341 lb, roughly 9.5 percent of the non-slide dry weight.
How the Lance 1191 Slide Works
According to Lance, the slide is about 72 in long and extends 16 in at camp. It also rides on Lippert’s HappiJac under-floor system, which Lance uses across its slide-out truck camper line.
Closed, the slide takes about 8 in of interior floor. You also reach the bath, kitchen, refrigerator, and cabover without opening it. Open, the face-to-face dinette seats four and converts to a 79 in by 37.5 in bed.
Lance raised the dinette to clear the slide mechanism, so the overhead dinette cabinets are gone. Instead, two locking pull-out drawers sit under the seats. Lance says total storage stays comparable, and the raised dinette makes room for an optional bunk bed.
Conley said the framing was ready for a slide from the start, so the addition needed no major redesign. Lance also trimmed 130 lb from the production 1191 through materials changes and added built-in pantry shelving.
Weight, Payload, and Truck Fit
Lance rates the 1191 Slide at 3,930 lb dry, including the base camper but not options. A full 45 gal fresh tank adds about 375 lb at 8.34 lb per gallon. Water alone brings the total to roughly 4,305 lb. Propane, gear, and options also add more.
Lance says the camper is best suited to a one-ton dually, and the Truck Camper Magazine photo shows it on a Ford F-350 dual-rear-wheel truck. A midsize truck falls far short, because published payload ratings for the 2025 Chevy Colorado top out around 1,700 lb, and the ZR2 trim is rated lower. I drive a 2025 Chevy Colorado ZR2, so I know how quickly a midsize payload runs out.
Before you order, check the numbers in our guide to how much truck a hard-side truck camper needs. Our overlanding payload problem article also shows why rigs often weigh more than owners expect.
Options for Power, Heat, and Cooling
According to Lance, the same options are available on both versions, and the bunk bed is available only with the slide. A 20,000-BTU Furrion furnace and a Fogatti water heater come standard, with a Truma AquaGo as the upgrade. Cooling options include a low-profile Furrion 13.5K BTU air conditioner or a Truma 13.5K BTU unit with SoftStartRV. The camper carries a one year bumper-to-bumper warranty and a two year structural warranty.
For power, the EZ Off-Grid Camping Package pairs a 12-volt lithium system with a Victron MultiPlus-II 12V 3,000VA inverter/charger, a PV array DC isolator, and up to 1,200 watts of roof-mounted Merlin solar. Lance also offers an Onan 2,500-watt propane generator and a convection microwave/air fryer.
Other options include a MaxxFan roof vent, a Smart TV, Starlink capability, and a wireless backup camera. In June, Airxcel recalled 5,021 MaxxAir N-Series fans, so check our MaxxFan recall guide and ask the dealer whether the fan Lance installs is affected.
A furnace, a range, and an optional generator all burn fuel in a small living space. Also check which alarms the camper includes and add what is missing. The First Alert Battery Carbon Monoxide Alarm CO400 and the Kidde Basic 110 Fire Extinguisher cover the basics. If you order the Starlink capability, the STARLINK Mini Kit is the matching gear for camp internet.

What This Means for You
The slide costs $4,340, about 8 percent of the non-slide base price. In return, you get 16 in of extra width at camp and a dinette for four. The bath, kitchen, refrigerator, and cabover also stay usable on the road.
If you already run a one-ton dually, the slide is a reasonable add. However, if you live near your truck’s payload limit, the extra 341 lb matters more than the floor space. Weigh the loaded camper first.
On long trips, a slide-out truck camper layout gives you more room at camp, according to Lance’s floor plan. Our guide to setting up a truck camper for multi-week trips covers the gear side. The truck bed camper buying guide also covers the weight and comfort trade-offs.
Final Thoughts
The 1191 Slide targets a familiar complaint about truck campers: the living space gets tight after a few days. Adding a slide gives you room, and Lance says the bath and kitchen stay usable on travel days. On paper, the standout is full use of every feature with the slide closed, since travel days make up much of any trip. I have not seen one in person, so treat it as Lance’s claim until a dealer shows me.
Specifically, the trade-offs are weight and cost. You add 341 lb and $4,340, you lose the overhead dinette cabinets, and Lance suggests a dually to carry it all. Lance’s weight figures also differ by source, so I would want my exact unit’s weight in writing before signing.
With a dually in your driveway and trips longer than a weekend, I think the slide is easy to justify. If your truck is near its payload limit, the non-slide 1191 is the safer fit, and it costs $4,340 less. Either way, it is good to see Lance offer a roomier option. Then check the weights and the lost cabinets before you sign.
