The difference that matters

One slide against three. The Lance 975 has a full-wall slide and a mid-ship dry bath on a 10-foot-4-inch floor, and weighs 3,394 lb dry. The Host Mammoth 11.6 runs three slides on an 11-foot-6-inch floor, a dually-class camper weighing 3,955 lb, about 560 lb more.

The Mammoth turns that weight into residential space: a large dry bath with a 24 by 38 inch shower, a heat-pump air conditioner and a 25,000 BTU furnace as standard, an enclosed heated tank area and options for a king bed and laundry. Its tanks are bigger in every category, 65 gallons fresh, 51 gray and 32 black against 45, 30 and 26.

The Lance sleeps four and runs Truma VarioHeat and AquaGo, with optional solar, awnings and a propane generator; it is generator-ready with an automatic transfer switch. It is also 0.4 feet lower at 9 feet. For a long-bed single-rear-wheel truck the Lance's weight is the easier fit; owners with a dually have the Mammoth's extra room to consider.
