Re: Need Replacement Reico Titan Wireless Remote
I lost my remote for my Host Mammoth. Ended up costing about $150+shipping from Reico Titan. If you crawl in the basement and can find the serial #/dip switches on the controller, they can pre-set the remote to match your current controller, otherwise you'll have to do it when the remote shows up. The remote was not on their website at the time, I had to call them.783Views0likes0CommentsRe: Getting the spare tire out....

If you have a card with a serial number on it in your documentation, that is the key code to order a replacement. I kept mine with the crank handle, but it originally comes in a zip lock pouch with the serialized card. I've heard that, but like I said they cleaned everything but the owners manual out. I'm just prepared to call a 24 hour tire service. Last time it was $650.. and 6 hours of time. Like a previous poster said, be prepared by trying to change your tires BEFORE you load the camper, and check your spare. Otherwise, you'll be surprised..751Views0likes0CommentsRe: Getting the spare tire out....
IF it's a Ford Superduty, make **** sure you have the lock for the spare tire.. Mine's missing (I bought it used, they probably threw it out when they prepped the truck for resale), did not realize it had one until I had a flat. Plan is to remove it anyway, I'm running 19.5's and it's a 16" E rated rotted 17 year old tire anyway.434Views0likes0CommentsRe: Host Mammoth, any bad experiences?
Dealer or Host themselves? This all occurred in 2013, with the release of the first Mammoth's. Dealer installed the battery wrong (positive to negative, negative to positive) which destroyed some 12v equipment. Smoke theory of electronics was tested. Host mis-delivered the colors, had to go back to Factory to fix it. Blew the old plastic sliding rail for the door 3 times, back to Factory twice to repair (once with plastic rail, once for the newer metal rail). Scratched the bathroom door multiple times. Final diagnosis was the whole shower/pantry unit needed to move towards the frig just a little over 1/4" The loops on the doors kept pulling out, had them put in a special hidden nut/screw that fixed that problem for good. Someone did not tighten the trap under the shower, water leaked all over the basement. A trim piece walked it's way away from the corner in the bed room near the pantry, and had to be redone. Huge foot print in the bedroom ceiling, non-repairable. Scratch on inside wall, near the front driver's side window. Non-repairable. We keep breaking door closers on the big drawer. They are cheap plastic. Bleah. The bathroom medicine cabinet was in-complete when delivered. The backflow preventer for the black tank flush was bad, they simply put in a piece of PEX to fix it. Back slide came in too far, needed adjustments. Door covering the command center was installed by a drunk. Levels are for sissies. The fresh water tank seelevel sensor was peeled off by the chunk of foam used to locate tank. Found that the glue they used melted the foam. I had to fix this. Tape keeps coming off the seams in the basement area, both inside and out. Poor caulk job on seams in basement area outside on wings. Sewer hose container is a 4" pipe, which will not hold a Rhino sewer hose. Cut that POS out and replaced with 5" fence post. The good news? They fixed what they could, they even paid me to bring it back to Bend from SFbay area. Dealer I bought from was clueless. Never going to use that dealer again. Would I buy a Host again? Yes. I'd trade this one for a Cascade with the theater seating if I could get away with it.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Mammoth ordered! And now in production!

Either have them install one of these, or do it yourself when you get it: Xantrex 8080915 PROwatt SW Auto Transfer Switch That way, when your on shore power, the TV will work without having to diddle with the inverter.251Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tow Strap

Those are missiles waiting to happen (seen that, watched it go straight through the windshield, and out the back window.. Always use a D-shackle. Always. Also make sure you've got the tow points ready. I've seen them also ripped straight out of the frame.535Views0likes0Comments
