The difference that matters

A thousand pounds and three slides separate these long-bed truck campers. The Lance 960 is 2,951 lb dry with no slides, a 9 ft 11 in floor and 45/30/28 gal tanks. The Host Mammoth 11.6 is 3,955 lb with three slides, an 11 ft 6 in floor and 65/51/32 gal tanks. That extra weight calls for a long-bed truck with substantial payload.

The Mammoth is the most residential of the two. It has a side entry, a large dry bath with a 24 by 38 in shower, a 13,500 BTU heat-pump A/C and a 25,000 BTU furnace as standard, an enclosed heated tank area and wireless electric jacks. Options include a king bed and a laundry center.

The Lance keeps things simpler, which also means fewer slide mechanisms to maintain. It brings Truma Combi heat, a Truma water heater with boost, an 8 cu ft fridge, a three-burner cooktop, a pull-out basement tray and generator-ready wiring. It is lower at 9 ft against 9.4 and sleeps three.
