Contact Randall at Host for an option sheet with MSRP prices. We are getting 3x160w solar, Fantastic Fan instead of Heki, Full wall cab over wardrobe, Prewire only for TV's and some additional modifications to the umbilical connections.

No one other than Lance is using cab over struts - I'm not sure any of the structures from other manufacturers were designed for an underside load. The Host camper height is 9.5' if you include the AC - Do you want store or carry items up that high on the roof? Rearview camera is a $900 MSRP option.

Your F350 will be over GVWR and close to rear axle capacity with the Mammoth. If you also plan to tow behind your setup, you need a bigger truck. I suggest skipping the F450/4500 and going to a F550/5500.

Randal can say what he wants, Bedlam has researched this camper thoroughly and when he tells you that a 550/5500 is what you need to carry this camper safety and comfortably you should listen to him and not your pocketbook.

No offense but Bedlam can say what he wants. I will listen to the guy that works at the factory. Maybe Bedlams does weigh 6k. But everybody packs differently and gets diff options. Either way I didn't expect this kind of anger and hostility, I have better things to do and I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone getting upset and having a stroke.

Says the guy with an 1150 AF......trying to say how light weight and svelt a triple slide 11' TC will be.
By the way, you were already at 5600lbs in your previous post. And probably not off on the dry weight.
Guess you could keep one around 5500lbs if you pack light and only go on weekend trips.
Make sure you leave everything at home except a change of skivves, preferably ones that aren't in a knot, and some ramen noodles.
And don't ask me or bedlam to borrow a socket set, bottle jack, bottle of beer or fishing pole because you left yours at home to keep your camper at 5500lbs. Hahah
