Host Mammoth TC
We recently went to the Green Bay RV show and was able to see this new triple slide TC. It had great finishes and was impressive (=very heavy). The bathroom was WOW! A separated room between the ...

I have a Host Mammoth for over 18 months (coming up on 2 years in July... wow, time flies!)
Pros:
- Not as heavy as people think. I've scaled mine, it's dry weight is under 4500lbs.
- HUGE tanks.
- HUGE basement.
- Biggest bathroom we could find in a truck camper.
- Floor space. We actually have enough space to use our puppie's crate in the camper, which made everyone including her happy, and when the in-laws comes along, there is plenty of space for 6 people to be in the camper at once.
- They have fixed the sliding door track so it's smoooooooooooooooth as butter, and does not explode when driving down I-5 to SoCal from SF..
- King size bed.
- Tons of headroom in the whole camper.
- A/C is ducted.
- Stays pretty warm in 20f weather; of course we had hook ups, and ran the electric fireplace all night (it's a heater too)
Cons:
- storage for clothes is kinda short of space - just ask them how much to build the bedroom area like the Host Aspen; You'll get tons of storage then.
- Height. It's tall.
- King size bed. It's HUGE, and a PITA to get sheets on, plus the shelf at the head sucks.
- A/C ducting is kinda joke.. It moves air, but barely.
- the dinette bed is big enough for one person or two small persons. Because of the floor space, I've been thinking of how to make it bigger using a sheet of plywood and a air mattress.
- The local dealer (Manteca) is kinda clueless about them.. Not suprised, they are not a true truck camper dealer
They have been super responsive to my problems, including having Dave tell me if I bring it back to the factory in Bend (which is 8hrs away from me) they will try to fix any problem. The have been problems with the bathroom door track exploding several times and there is now a 100% metal track with rollers for it. The have also some minor things/repairs, like moving the tp holder to a better location.
I've posted pictures/videos before, and I have a few updates to the pictures of things they have fixed/replaced.
If your in the SF Bay area and want to see a Host Mammoth, let me know.
