Bought a new 2021 Host Cascade Truck Camper and man is it nice. It has everything. Onan generator, full bath, king bed, 2 TV's, fake fireplace, dining table and seat, and 2 recliners.
If you go to the Host website you can take a virtual look at it. It is amazing what they can put into a truck bed.
We had a Artic Fox 990 which was fun but we wanted to upgrade to a camper with comfortable chairs to relax in. So the 2 recliners cost us around 20k each and it will be well worth it.
I know there will be those who will say you could have a nice MH or big trailer with the money we paid but with the truck camper is the only way to go. We can unload camper on ground and have the truck to use for unloading and loading boat, going site seeing or just going to town for more supplies. Of course I know most of you know the reasons for having a truck camper.
Cant wait to load up and take a trip to Lake Havasu and camp a few days.
I will post a picture of the entire rig with boat when we load up next time.![[image]](https://i.postimg.cc/Bvq034Hq/1-D533-B34-6-D44-4-D5-B-883-A-BFC2-FADECBED.jpg)

Nice looking camper. Do you have to open both slides if you want to make a quick stop and get in the camper and use the bathroom?

If we were to buy another Host this would be our first choice. My wife did not like the bathroom in the mammoth, even though it is HUGE. CONGRATS it looks beautiful . Enjoy it!

Yep, I found the answer in this video
SWEET CAMPER though. I should have bought a Cascade instead of my AF 992.

We went from AF 990 which is nice but having a dinette and the recliners to relax in made it well worth the upgrade. But as you probably know we did have to pay the price.

I did some searching and found the prices. Yep, they are quite a bit more than an AF.

I bought a 2020 Cascade back in January. It was quite an upgrade from my 2004 Lance 815. Of course a new Ram 3500 dually was also purchased to give me some comfort on the road. We pull a boat as well and love the versatility of this set up. I love the camper and you will enjoy yours. I've had a few issues that I will get fixed this December under warranty, but overall it's been great. Enjoy
