It was interesting to tour the host factory. They take a lot of pride in their campers. Little things like the jacks brackets are through bolted into the frame rather than lagged into a wood blocking. The aluminum frames is continuous around the arch of the windows. The sub flooring is one large sheet rather than smaller sheets with seams. I was impressed by the power gear seeing it and the rack installed open to see entirely. I was impressed by the quality of the frame welding.
As I have been working on mine adding solar/inverter and crawling around the basement I am impressed by the level of workmanship and thought that went into places most people will never see.
As far as logging roads. I have found with all the full sized campers I have owned graded dirt roads are fine but having a large camper does impart some limitations on how rough a road I am personally willing to subject the camper and truck to. Also looking at a 3 slide camper like the Host you see that shear values for wall sections has to be substantially reduced, replaced by engineering to keep structure. We are considering getting a jeep to flat tow for more aggressive exploration.
