Ha! That would be my wife’s call (and secretly mine lol) however we’re off grid so much running the veteran courses water is a precious commodity. Thanks much and see you on the road! 🙌
Very cool! We just dropped our truck camper off a few miles away from the Host factory at an affiliate to get an off grid solar package installed. Would love to tour the factory ourselves when we go to pick it up!
Really good USER tour showing some real world camping knocks and crannies. Amazing in the bed of a pick up!! Running a 2003 dually, man o man I want one of these cabins on wheels!!!
Yeah it’s crazy right!? We’re undergoing a major upgrade with an off grid solar package. Excited to make a new video and share this with you all. You’ve got the truck for one that’s for sure!👍
Ok, just saw the other post about the fan mode. Btw Host campers is right around the corner from the dealership that I work at. Beaver Coach Sales. Awesome campers.
I am SO jealous! That is the most impressive outfit you-all have. I live in an old travel trailer that I bought for $900. I have a cargo trailer that I had planned to build out. When my life fell apart in Florida and I got the road with my 3 little dogs, I traded in my Challenger for a 1500 4x4. I made it to Arizona and checked in with the VA to find out I needed surgery on my hands. Still have the tools but can't do much. I am a disabled veteran as well. Just found you today so I will be a travel friend. I am currently on the border in an RV park in the desert. I have been here for a year trying to figure out what to do next. Give me a shout out about your motivation/ mission.
Gayle, thank you for reaching out! Will message you to continue the conversation. Loving your adventure! Reminds me of living in my 86’ GMC minivan with my wolf-shepard!
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! We’re headed to Moab next week and will be making lots more truck camper and overland videos. We’re so excited to share our adventures with you 🙌🇺🇸
If you haven’t figured out the furnace /ac issue yet. When you hit the mode button, the first mode is the fan which is the ac fan. On fan Mode hit the +or - to switch the fan mode to auto. Then it won’t come on when you turn on the furnace.
Rod thank you so much for the info! We really appreciate the camper and off-road community; tons of folks willing to help out and share. Reminds us of the military!
You may want to use some graphite for your sunroof screen over the bed. Just spread the graphite along the screen track a few time moving the screen back and forth. That should make for a better retraction.
Awesome tip! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. We want to take care of this rig the best we can and get years of fun and adventure out of it.
Wow, your rig is awesome! You, Mammoth, and the camera guy did a great showing. You even laid down on the jack knife sofa, and got in the shower, to give us some scale. Nice job. Is your living room TV a smart model, for receiving internet reception? Anyway, I love the Military Mobility logo, and what you guys do for wellness and health of people needing this platform.
Thank you so much for the kind words and positive feedback! That means A LOT to us. Our mission to share that any obstacle, no matter how big, can be overcome! We recently created our video series to help spread the word about the work we’re doing. Being military folks were not used to the camera but it’s turning out to be a fun endeavor. Please visit our store at militarymobility.com and pick up some logo gear to help spread the word and support veterans in need attending our courses. Thanks again!
Oh and the TV is a Sony LED Ultra High Def (UHD) 4000k 32” model. It has all the bells and whistles; and easily connects to the internet (or internet through my WiFi hotspot on my cell phone). We love the ability to easily screen mirror from our devices to all sit and share pics and vids at the end of the day. It’s also fun to play music videos and have everyone guess which person chose it!
Hi Gerard and thanks for joining the conversation. Initially I thought I’d want the kind size bed but have really come to love the space on either side; we use it constantly whether it’s for our individual clothing bags or stacking equipment boxes in transit. It’s also the perfect place for our dog to sleep when she comes along. As for the tp holder we haven’t had any issues with it being there, even for smaller kids, but I suppose everyone has their favorite spot!
Can you get in and access the bathroom without opening the slides? Or, if not, can you only put out a slide on the passenger side to access the rest room while pulled off on a highway? We're worried over this one issue and we are looking at truck campers.
Hi Linda, and thanks for reaching out. This particular model (Host Mammoth) is the only triple slide in the industry, and the way it’s set up you must open the rear slide to gain entry through the doorway, we like this as we see it as a security feature from theft. To access the bathroom you could just open the rear and the driver side. We travel constantly and do road side pit stops all the time, just ensure you have at least a few feet from traffic and you’re good. It’s very quick to open and close this, a matter of seconds. We even had to do this with our enormous 5th wheel. Last note is you don’t even have to fully open the slides to access (fridge, bathroom, bed) so depending on where you are that becomes helpful. Best of luck!
@@MilitaryMobility Thanks for taking the time to reply. I need those pit stops and have been worried about that part of this. We are in a class B right now but want something with a bad that stays made up as well as a dry bath, so this kind of camper is quite appealing with the exception of getting in and out for that inevitable pit stop on the road side.
Hi and thanks for commenting! Did you have the same issue we did (both air and heater coming on at the same time). What did changing the transfer switch change or improve? Thanks!👍
Hi Scott, the AC was blowing cold, I don’t believe there is any ducting connecting the furnace to the AC to aid is distribution; but they do share they’re wired to the thermostat. Others have let us know if we set the thermostat to auto vice just hear or cool it won’t blow both at the same time anymore. We’re currently undergoing repairs and excited to try this out soon!
i have a question... is that toilet not too tall even for you at 5 ft 11? what about your wife ? i am 5 ft 6 and my feet would be way off the ground on that thing making it hard to use. just curious if it looks as high up as it is. the seat is even with the top of your legs.
Great question, this is the nitty gritty important stuff! We have been living and working out of this unit for quite sometime now and have all sorts of different height people in there using the bathroom. There is actually 3 “settings” if you will, on how to position yourself, depending on your height. For the tallest folks , I’d say 6’0+, there is the ground floor, then there is a ledge about 4” above that, (what I use at 5’11” and others a few inches shorter than me as well). Finally there is the platform that the toilet itself is mounted on; which works great for shorter folks or anybody who likes the “squatty potty” feel! Hope this helps🙌
Me and the wife want one of these on a f550. Only problem is they are very VERY expensive. Too much than my broke ass can afford. I'm getting close to retirement so we're looking for the older models availability now see if we can get a setup to live in.
Thanks for checking us out! No way around it these setups (both truck and camper) are very pricey. We got the 450 for the sole reason of the wide track front axle which we need for use on the trails, it’s just amazing! However the 350 is actually better suited for payload capacity so possibly look into those as a 550 IMO is overkill and when you get to 550 you lose a lot of creature comforts (they stop offering those at 450). Then as far as the camper keep an eye out on RV Trader and such, that’s how we found our deal. Good luck on retirement and congrats!
@Military Mobility the camper I want is too heavy for a 350 or 450 I'll have to go with a 550. It's not overkill when you talking about a host mammoth 11.6. Its a heavy heavy camper and fill it up your easily hitting 6 to 7k lbs
Congrats! That would be beautiful. I’m sure that’s a challenge with so many folks working on the road these days. You may have to pre-order 22’s. 2015 was the newest we could find in great condition when we bought it last year. Don’t think too much has changed other than color scheme, jack knife dinette and the availability of their off grid solar, which we are getting installed in the not to distant future. Good luck in your search!
Absolutely, and congrats on your height! We’ve had guys who are 6’2” living in here no problem. Even the shower has adequate height for someone of that as well. We’re getting some repairs done but will post exact ceiling and shower height soon. A quick search showed an interior height of 78” (6’5”) in our rig. I’d say this is pretty accurate. It’s a comfortable place to be.
@@MilitaryMobility Thank you so much. I’m new to this world. Just got off the phone with Dave with Host Campers and he was teaching me how these campers work. I thought you guys had to install for us. Tell him I said thanks for his positive engagement with me and patience with my lack of knowledge. You guys are great!!! Much love from Los Angeles. 🤩
Life is full of ups and downs, eh? 😆 Thanks for the compliment on the video. We’re a non-profit that benefits veterans in need and have no paid salaries, all of our donations goes towards running courses. As such we aim to keep costs as low as possible; that includes using the limited free music available to us. Still we try to select the best of those 👍🇺🇸
Hello Juno, this setup fits our needs nicely, so it’s not too heavy for us. We are also advocates of fast and light in other mobility adventures however this combo was uniquely suited to set us up for success in a number of ways. I think we can all agree no matter what your preference, getting outdoors and exploring is the most important thing!
I don't do laundromats, the washer would be my choice. Beautiful camper, good luck with it!!!
Ha! That would be my wife’s call (and secretly mine lol) however we’re off grid so much running the veteran courses water is a precious commodity. Thanks much and see you on the road! 🙌
So..we went by and toured the Host factory and really liked their design..honestly looks like a 5th wheeler..their windows make it fantastic 👏

Love the camper. Pretty much decided on the mammoth after lots of due diligence. And you did a good job with the tour.
You’ll love it! And thanks for the positive vibes 🇺🇸🙌
Your thermostat should have a AU setting make sure that is on when you run the heater your AC will not come on.

We live full time in our rv and found out you can connect your phone to your TV so you don't have to worry about internet..we use our hot spot
I like the space on both sides of bed

Looks good I like it. Thank you for the video and thumbs up. :)
Thank you! 😀👍
On mine it prevented the heater fan from coming on when the air conditioning fan you might check the furnace board.
👍thanks for the heads up!
Someone likes their cup of noodles 🍜😜
🤣😂ha! Our initial stock up of food was our pandemic stash from Sam’s Club
This is amazing
@@jaysonelliot835 spam artist not wanted here. 😤
Don’t need an oven. Got the convection microwave and more storage instead.
Agreed, that extra storage is key. And we haven’t ever missed an oven yet. Lots of grilling and stovetop cooking for us! 🙌
You have to run it on Auto when you're on heat or both will come on
Can you get in and access the bathroom without opening the slides? Or, if not, can you only put out a slide on the passenger side to access the rest room while pulled off on a highway? We're worried over this one issue and we are looking at truck campers.

Typically when you turn the generator on the microwave light will come on when the system, I replaced the transfer switch for the air and heater
Hi and thanks for commenting! Did you have the same issue we did (both air and heater coming on at the same time). What did changing the transfer switch change or improve? Thanks!👍
Is your AC blowing cold air when your heater is on. Or is it just the fan distributing the heated air?
Hi Scott, the AC was blowing cold, I don’t believe there is any ducting connecting the furnace to the AC to aid is distribution; but they do share they’re wired to the thermostat. Others have let us know if we set the thermostat to auto vice just hear or cool it won’t blow both at the same time anymore. We’re currently undergoing repairs and excited to try this out soon!
I would rather put closet with drawer were the smaller couch is
ac on fan to circulate air when heat on
I would relocate the tp holder.

Yes! I’ve met a guy that had one; a little less room but also less of an overhang to the rear but still VERY spacious!
2:06 or a larger picky dog
