Re: Looking for recommendations on a two bike rack
We have a host mammoth and use a kuat NV 2 with a ramp. We use a 48" Reese extension and carry 2 Verve 3 e bikes. (55lbs each) We are able to open our slide with the bikes on the rack. At times we also add a Malone kayak trailer by using an over under hitch. Just be sure to take bikes off the rack before you try to take camper off the truck.541Views0likes0CommentsRe: Truck camper pricing

Tom's Camperland in Mesa made it worth our while to drive from the east coast to pick up our Host. The amount we saved over buying on the east coast more than paid for our entire 6 week trip. We ordered the options we wanted and waited until it was built to travel west. The only inconvenience was we had to take delivery out of state to save the Az. Sales tax. We drove an extra 2.5 hours to California.279Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pros/cons of Host vs Arctic Fox
Madison1988 wrote: Hi all, Looking for some thoughts on these two brands. I am looking for the good the bad and the ugly between these two. Warranty issues, poor attention to detail, leaking issues etc Thank you Host has excellent customer service. We picked up a new Mammoth in Az. The end of Sept and took a 6 week trip through the southwest. Our last night out we hit a low hanging tree branch and took out the escape hatch. I called Host and they shipped me a new one the next day. Anytime I call with questions my call is answered by one of the owners. On our trip we experienced temperature swings from 108 in Ca. to 28 in the Grand Canyon and stayed very comfortable. Our wish list for improvment is that we would like more counter space so we are adding a flip up extension where the magazine rack is. Also we would like the sewer hose connection to come out a little further so residue does not drip in the outside compartment. A great product and very adequate for a long road trip.493Views0likes0CommentsRe: Eagle cap 960 falling apart?
I picked up a new Host mammoth the end of September and spent 6 weeks in it. I have been very impressed with the quality. It is my third truck camper. It is by far the best one yet. I had a Palomino maverick and an Okanagan. My experience with customer service with Host has been outstanding. On our return trip we hit a low hanging tree branch and smashed the escape hatch. I called Host and spoke with one of the owners and he shipped me a new hatch the next day.339Views0likes0CommentsBest Truck Camper made
Recently purchased a Host Mammoth truck camper and can't say enough good things about it. It is unbelievable how much room there is in it. We just spent 6 weeks in it on a cross country trip and never felt the least bit crowded. The floor plan is very functional and we were amazed at all the extra features it had that were not even in the advertisements for it. Lights in the awning, outside area lights great for hooking on at night or just sitting outside. The fireplace was perfect for heating as well as ambiance. We went through 80 degrees of weather change on our trip from 108 in Ca.to 28 in the mountains of Az. and were very comfortable. The slide out storage tray is an excellent addition and allowed us more than ample room for all our gear In addition to a great product, the after purchase customer service is outstanding. We had a slight mishap on our return trip and needed to replace our escape hatch. I called Host and my call was answered by one of the owners who shipped the part that day.4.8KViews0likes34Comments
