I've owned two Host campers. A Tahoe 1050 Double Slide and my current camper which is a Everest triple slide. Absolutely love both of them. The only thing I can mention is they are *HEAVY*. Disregard what the weight sticker says because that is bare bones with zero options and most Host campers come decked to the gills.
I recall selling my Tahoe camper to a fella with an early 2000's model F350 DRW and when we lowered the camper onto his bed I thought the pickup bed was going to keep going to the ground. The rear fender was almost touching his tire. IIRC camper weight was about 4700 lbs. Loaded with these campers, you may want a 450/550 class truck, even a 350 is pushing it unless you have a lighter gas engine to give you adequate payload capacity.
