Has anybody seen one in person. I'm thinking of ordering one. There is no dealer close to me. Just wanted to hear other thoughts on this one. My wife and I like the pics and video on the Host web site, but it is an 8 hour drive to the dealer and I don't think he has one yet.....Would love to check out the factory but I work full time................If only I didn't have to work.........Bother

I'm planning on 5000-6000 lbs by the time the tanks, storage and closets are filled.

There is no way dry weight on that TC is 3360. Someone is fudging the numbers once again. Ive been in one of these monsters and its a big heavy TC, dry or wet.

The black tank is in the slide.

I like the laundry center in the back slide. I'd give up that little sofa for cabinets in ours.

I discovered the video last night and showed my wife. If we were buying new, this would be our preferred option.

As I showed in the previous post, you can also have a laundry center in that slide. Eagle Cap put a free-standing table and two chairs in the rear slide. It is the best seating position if watching TV or the electric fireplace, but the extended foot rest does block the door way.

If you do not sit with others for a formal meal (visiting kids, friends, relatives), this is comfortable.



The sofa might be a nice option if you get the laundry center instead of the love seat.



I'm not sure if I would give up the U-shaped dinette for a sofa if I already had the love seat. There are times when having a larger table or facing each other is nice.

On a side note, I didn't know they started making Expedition Vehicles.
