Forum Discussion
Dealer or Host themselves? This all occurred in 2013, with the release of the first Mammoth's.
Dealer installed the battery wrong (positive to negative, negative to positive) which destroyed some 12v equipment. Smoke theory of electronics was tested.
Host mis-delivered the colors, had to go back to Factory to fix it.
Blew the old plastic sliding rail for the door 3 times, back to Factory twice to repair (once with plastic rail, once for the newer metal rail).
Scratched the bathroom door multiple times. Final diagnosis was the whole shower/pantry unit needed to move towards the frig just a little over 1/4"
The loops on the doors kept pulling out, had them put in a special hidden nut/screw that fixed that problem for good.
Someone did not tighten the trap under the shower, water leaked all over the basement.
A trim piece walked it's way away from the corner in the bed room near the pantry, and had to be redone.
Huge foot print in the bedroom ceiling, non-repairable.
Scratch on inside wall, near the front driver's side window. Non-repairable.
We keep breaking door closers on the big drawer. They are cheap plastic. Bleah.
The bathroom medicine cabinet was in-complete when delivered.
The backflow preventer for the black tank flush was bad, they simply put in a piece of PEX to fix it.
Back slide came in too far, needed adjustments.
Door covering the command center was installed by a drunk. Levels are for sissies.
The fresh water tank seelevel sensor was peeled off by the chunk of foam used to locate tank. Found that the glue they used melted the foam. I had to fix this.
Tape keeps coming off the seams in the basement area, both inside and out.
Poor caulk job on seams in basement area outside on wings.
Sewer hose container is a 4" pipe, which will not hold a Rhino sewer hose. Cut that POS out and replaced with 5" fence post.
The good news?
They fixed what they could, they even paid me to bring it back to Bend from SFbay area.
Dealer I bought from was clueless. Never going to use that dealer again.
Would I buy a Host again? Yes. I'd trade this one for a Cascade with the theater seating if I could get away with it.
