Boaty, it's a heavy camper for a SRW. I do have 19.5's, airbags, sway bars, and HD shocks - still get some sway. Going to add stableload's soon.
I found it carries best when it has a 3/4 or better tank of water in it. That's because the water tank is at the very front of the basement, and places weight back on the front suspension. I really need to weigh it with a full tank of water and diesel, to see how the weight is placed on the axles (it's not all on the rear axle).
As for build quality, it's had a few issues (mostly factory mistakes), but Host has been good about fixing everything but one thing (the Seelevel gauges fresh water tank sensor was peeled off by a touching foam block, which was a special install for us; I had to remove a cover to reach the sensor.) For a the first set of problems I was paid to return the camper to the factory, and they fixed a large punch list of details at the same time for us, and then another issue they actually came down the dealer to fix (or would of came over the house if it wasn't at the dealer at the time)
The bathroom size is great to have, we've had 6 to 8 people in the camper at once and still not feel cramped.
We had special installed SeeLevel gauges (uhm, 66 gals of water, I really really didn't want 1/3 2/3 full crap), a Progressive full camper surge protector, and a fantastic fan in the bathroom.
In retrospect, I'd not order any TV with it, or the mounts; I can easily do better cheaper (monoprice.com for mounts/cables, local stores for the TV), but I would have the TV antenna installed at the factory.
We like the fireplace. Yes, we have a fireplace in our Truck Camper.
Oh, sorry about the video shaking.. It was taken on a cellphone.
We got the Cherry interior with the Jute fabric, I did not think the chocolate fabric looked right with the cherry. The maple interior cabinet doors for some reason does not match the paneling for some reason.
The fridge has a fan in it to make it work, and I can hear it at times. Not sure if it's just supposed to be that loud (ie, a cheap fan) or if it is really a problem.
