Host Cascade 10'6" Double Slide NEW PLAN?

[MrPhelps]

Has anyone seen or bought one of these ? It appears that Host made some major floor plan changes for the better (IMHO) and has not updated their website.

The website for Host shows both driver side and rear slides, a mid bath and east-west bedroom, but I've been to two camper dealer sites showing "on the lot 2018 models". These pics show passenger and driver side slides with an apparent rear driver side dry bath. Further the units shown have captains chairs located at base of the bed facing a TV /fireplace "tower" towards the rear of the unit. Neither of the dealer photo's are adequate to fully get it and the photos on Host's site are the old model. The one with the best pictures on the North Carolina dealer's web site is provided below.

I know there has been a lot of discussion on this forum about the Mammoth, but this one interests me much more. I toured Host's facility last summer and asked about this model but it appeared they had not recently built any of the Cascade Model and I had to be content to look at the Mammoth. This looks like a major improvement to the last plan. I am interested in weight and CG info for this unit to assess my current truck as a viable option. If anyone out there has looked at/purchased one or has any data, it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass it on. Neither dealer site has any info regarding a fully configured dry weight nor a photo of the Host weight sticker, which for me, is a problem with how they market the products.

Freezing level shot up, just wet roads now. Easy traveling.

[Faststreak]

Thanks for info

We have lots of snow in the mountains already. Use tripcheck.com for road conditions reports. You should be ok over the passes, but be prepared. Road camera at LaPine (south of Bend where the Host factory is) does show snow on the roads this morning. West side going up I-5 on the road to Portland/ Happy Valley is clear and above freezing.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures of the new camper.

I have one on order. Scheduled to pick up the day before thanksgiving. Going to put it on a gmc srw 3500 with upgrade suspension and wheels. Dry weight 4000 pounds about what my Artic fox 992.weighed. Can't wait

Curious as to final numbers and what options you ordered. I like this floor plan and haven't pulled the trigger on the 992 yet....

Over the years the dualies suspensions change quite a bit, so you have to figure out the MY.
When I bought my 2017 F350 everybody was telling me I will need to beef up suspension for 6500lb camper. I did not as for this MY suspension seems beefed-up while aluminium bed adds rear axle cargo capacity.
Still with towing the tongue weight is going to be crucial and I don't think you can consider heavier trailer without WD bars.

I like this new configuration.
For just me and the wife it looks perfect.
What I can't seem to find out is can you do the couch/table instead of the L-dinette and keep the two recliners?
It seems that the slide out base may interfere with the second recliner.
Documentation says the couch is an option but does not say it will work with the two recliners.
One recliner would work for sure.
I will call them to see.

Now I have to figure out what rig to put this on.
GMC 3500HD DWR diesel would be the minimum.
I want to tow a small box trailer with a golf cart and other goodies.
This may be pushing it.
