After 2 years of ownership this summer, Host is still our favorite. I also agree the new coffee table/couch design is another innovative use of space, something they continue to improve upon. The 2 hallways to the sleeping area becomes more significant to us every time we take it out. I can get up early and take our dog for a walk, make coffee and close off the front without disturbing my wife.
It does require a large truck and I've seen F-450s along with some cab and chassis 4500-5500s set up for these triple slides among the members here. I'm getting by with my 3500 and researching the next truck to haul our Host right now. 2017s are about to be released in a few months and I'll have a verdict with my VW diesel passat (taking the buy-back when announced) by then. Right now I'm leaning towards Ram 3500 w/410 and 6.4 Hemi. I'd like to get a comfortable truck with over 6K lbs in payload.
