Opinion on Host Accessories?

Hello, we are just a few days away from placing our order for a Host Mammoth!

I am wondering if any Host owners have opinions on things they wish they had ordered originally, wish they had done differently or wished they left out?

Some items up for debate in this household are:

  • Dinette vs 6 foot couch with high/low table?
  • Fireplace vs No Fireplace? And do you gain that space for storage if you leave out the fireplace?
  • Oven vs No Oven w/Microwave-Convection?
  • Standard cook top vs the Euro Sealed Burners
  • Privacy door vs no privacy door (does it really do anything in terms of noise)?


Thanks for your input! It's hard because there are ZERO Host models to be found in Colorado and, even the dealers don't have any on their lots right now so we are relying on videos and photos.

    “Oven vs No Oven w/Microwave-Convection?”
    “Standard cook top vs the Euro Sealed Burners”

    Personal decisions! Depends on how you or the DW prepares meals.

    We prefer a dinette when we eat rather than a couch. The adjustable table is functional but was not worth the cost for our use.

    If you mostly boondock, the fireplace is a waste of space and money. On hookups, it will pay for itself in saved LPG.

    Boondocking will get more use out of a LPG oven, we prefer to have a convection microwave and more storage.

    The euro burner has a delicate flush glass top. We have one but would rather have a standard cook top with butcher block top.

    The privacy curtain does not make things quieter but does make things darker. If you have one spouse that gets up earlier than the other or a spouse that goes to sleep earlier, it makes a closed off space where one can sleep while the other is awake.
