As far "will the Host slides hold up". My camper is a 2006 that was built in 2005. They changed their designs a few times before 2005 which is why I bought a new one vs an older one at the time. No, I didn't know of a problem with the other years, but I thought they were probably improving things and a new one wasn't that much more than an older one. We've had zero issues with our two slides.
I think the Everest triple slides have been out since 2008 or so. If they were having lots of issues, I think someone would have been posting here about it. I know a few people have had issues with their Hosts like every other brand, but as far as I know, they've been pretty solid overall.
I've taken my camper over some pretty rough and steep roads in Washington including National Forests and National Parks, and on some roads under construction in Montana at Yellowstone. Of course, it's hit some hard bumps along the way on highways and interstates because construction crews leave some unrepaired parts sometimes. Not any bad roads in Oregon yet although it's been there. :) One trip bounced enough to dump the cushions from the dinette on the floor if that means anything.
We thought the interiors of the Hosts looked better than the other brands 10 years ago, and still do. Of course, that's a personal preference thing ... I suppose.
