Host is not building any motorized campers at this time. They do not have enough business to sustain a trained staff for the builds. I spoke to the owner 3 weeks ago. I own a 300 and am very happy with it to date. I am just not excited about Ford trucks.
I have had very good luck with a bad luck Ford engine that everyone loves to hate and like my current setup but would rather scale it up. I am not exclusively looking at Ford - Ram has the 4500 and 5500 cab chassis models that would also work. GM currently does not have a Kodiak replacement to compete in this class. I'm afraid that M2's are too spendy for my target cost.
For cost, I'd like to stay under $200K but am also looking at what annual ownership costs will run - Weight tariffs or maintenance cannot cut too much into the fun budget. A fully appointed Class 5 truck set up for hauling a truck camper is under $80K. If I were to upgrade to the largest quad slide TC with every option, that would still keep my acquisition price south of $150K. The advantage of me staying with a truck camper is that vehicle or camper can be upgraded at different times so expenses can be managed easier.
