Eagle Cap slides out new palatial double slide camper


Washington state based Adventurer LP has rolled out a new double slide 11' plus camper that we could best describe as palatial. Under the brand name, Eagle Cap, the new 1160 model could make even some die-hard trailerists rethink coming over to truck camping.

The company is touting this unit's construction, and the insulation values are impressive. With R-17 ceilings, R-22 in basement and floors, and R-11 in the walls, coupled with Thermal Pane windows as standard, taking this rig out in the winter or the heat of summer shouldn't be an issue. Holding those walls and windows together is a welded aluminum frame with a fiberglass shell (single piece front and rear fiberglass caps, to boot).

Now to that palatial bit: The EC 1160 is no skinny-minny. At 102" in width, the inside appearance and feel has got to be spacious. Add on the double slides and "camper claustrophobia" is a thing of the past. The unusual side-entry door allows for a rear sofa and rear storage bay.

Specs: Hard-side, dry bath, double-slide truck camper with a side entry that is made for long bed trucks. Interior floor length 11’6”; interior height is 76”. Dry weight 4,298 pounds with standard features. Tank capacity: 75 gallons fresh, 32 gallons gray, and 28 gallons black. Energy: accommodates two batteries and two thirty-pound propane tanks. The MSRP for the Eagle Cap 1160 is $36,295.Catch up on more details on the company website.
