- Host Cascade Truck Camper TOUR | RV Living Truck Camper Living - The Host Cascade truck camper just might be the best truck camper on the market for full time rv living and truck camper living. You'll see when you watch the Host Cascade truck camper tour video that Host has done an incredible job on maximizing the use of space with the slides for RV life, RV living, and truck camper living. Wendy is living in a truck camper after first living in a van. When she saw how much space there was in the Host truck camper - she compared it to have an apartment in the bed of her Ram 3500 truck.
I'm in the market for a truck camper and still researching whether living in a truck camper versus my camper van is best for my RV lifestyle. When I saw Wendy in Alaska last year on the road and saw her truck camper life - well - I couldn't resist talking to her about why she decided on the Host Cascade truck camper made by Host Industries. She invited me into her tiny home on wheels for a truck camper tour and discussed items she really liked on her Host truck bed camper and how living this camper is better than vanlife. She is living in an RV full time so she really utilizes the space in the truck camper for RV living full time with her dog Aspen. She mostly is off grid living with the occasional truck camping in an RV park.
One of the items she stresses is you need a big truck for the big RV truck camper to make sure you aren't over weight and damage your rig during RV travel. Advantages to the Host Cascade truck camper is the slides that open up the space for living in an RV that makes it feel like a small apartment on wheels in the back of your truck. It's also a 4x4 camper for 4x4 camper living and you can full time RV in this truck camper and be very comfortable. Look at any other truck camper reviews and you'll find these truck campers can get heavy. Her Host Cascade truck camper sits on a Ram 3500 dually truck to handle the load and provide additional storage for truck camping and truck camper life.

★ Season 4, Episode 9: Truck Camper Tour of Host Cascade Truck Camper
__________
★ My Story
Hi, I'm Amber and in May 2017 I started full time RV living. I started this nomadic journey after selling my house and all my belongings to pursue this crazy dream of traveling full time in an RV and creating incredible memories.
After 1 year of traveling, I sold my 26 foot Winnebago Class C RV for a more nimble Class B van on a Promaster 2500 chassis. Now in my 4th year of RVing in my camper van, I'm still loving this RV lifestyle and being a digital nomad. I almost always boondock in nature and really enjoy that off grid living.

She's such an inspiration. Knows her stuff, seriously independent capable woman who is not afraid living life to the max.
It's awesome to see women out there showing men up on truck Camping.
We agree!
Wendy has it going on. Impressed with how knowledgeable she is. Great tips for helping people in the market to make a good informed decision
Dose Wendy have a UA-cam channel?
Absolutely friggin' beautiful camper. After many years, I haven't escaped. Hope to join all of you escapees out there one day.
I like her. Kind of a independent firecracker! Knows the rig she wanted, moved on from the Airstream and onto a more capable rig. An inspiration to the aspiring middle-aged solo traveller.
you probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Ezekiel Anderson instablaster :)
@Brooks Tyler Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Brooks Tyler It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Ezekiel Anderson Glad I could help :)
She is spot on it’s all about the truck you choose for your camper. I want to stress that she is very smart she bought a dually. Anyone buying a camper like this, no matter what sales people say dually is a must have. Makes the driving experience way less stressful. Keeps the whole unit more stable on the road. Especially in the cross winds.
Travis Steeves 😀 You've got that right.
👍🏿 I brought an old truck camper it's almost the same size just not modern but I'm remodeling it. I know nothing bout trucks but I'm definitely gonna get the truck she has here with dully!!!!
We have a Host Mammoth, which is the beast of Host’s line on a 5500 Ram dually and absolutely love it. We converted the Ram to a flat bed and had a company add commercial-style storage cabinets. A total game changer. We toured the plant and were impressed with the quality of their rigs. Plus we like their slide system which is not Schwintek (not reliable). Can’t go wrong with Host.
C B 😀 That's so good to know from another Host owner. I love that Mammoth too!
Hi there, would you be willing to talk to us about your truck selection and the conversion to flat bed w/storage cabinets? We are thinking that is what we want to do and it seems quite daunting to sort through everything!
I also am looking to buy a Ram diesel 5500 and put a host camper on it and I wonder did you have to do anything extra to the suspension of your 5500 truck to handle the weight of the camper? Thanks!
The most important takeaway for me from Wendy was regarding the truck: Buy BIG & wide! Thanks for this video, Ladies.
That’s a beast! A fireplace in a truck camper!😲Awesome😍 Can’t wait time see her load/unload it. As a single woman, that is the most intimidating & the main reason why truck campers were “X’’d off my list.
Mystical Misfit 😀 I agree which is why I asked her to show me the process and take the fear away.
For me, the taking off and on are way easier than my bumper pool travel trailer. I learned to drive in a truck. So it is something I am very comfortable backing up. And with the 4 jacks automated, it raises and lowers easy.
I agree on removing it being easier. At least it seems that way compared to the friends that I've seen who have travel trailers.
Story Chasing She looks like she doesn’t have any problems doing it. So glad to see! So inspirational😊
Wendy Kadner Awesome! 😊
Thts one of the best truck camper designs ive seen tbh
not gonna lie, thats a kick ass camper..Looks like a nice apartment...Shes got a nice set up with the 4x4 dually..
barry jackson it's pretty cool...I agree. What was your favorite part?
@@AmberJBaldwin first off, ive been watching your Mexico trip this morning...so freaking beautiful...I was watching you follow your friend and some of the roads you were on/camping spots and the vans you all had, being one piece an all is nice and you all seemed in a good situation wit hthem....What made her camper special was the slide or slides with the layout...
barry jackson haha..glad you enjoyed the Mexico vids! I can't wait to go back. It's just incredible! Yeah those slides make a huge difference.
@@AmberJBaldwin I wonder why they don't make slideouts for the camper vans?? I
think that could be a game changer, but there must be a reason why they can't do it.:)
@@barryjackson1401 Yes! Those slides make all the difference in the world! Such a nice little home! A true home.
I have never seen such a nice truck camper 👍
I love it!
After sales service can be more important than the actual sale when you have issues. Thanks so much for the tour ladies. Cheers!
Absolutely! You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Hello :) You just "hit the nail on the head"!!! I have been trying to decide the van life movement but don't really want a van and this idea is GENIUS!!! It gives a person the freedom and flexibility...Absolutely wonderful concept and idea!!
That is darn near the perfect rig for a solo traveler. I’m definitely back in the truck camper market!
It sure is!
These truck campers are the way to go I think. You’re never gonna get a 4wd RV and a 4wd van will probably cost you as much as the truck and the camper.
@@cityslickeroutdoors8306 not only that but you can go anywhere and drop the camper and have a free vehicle to tool around with if you don’t want to drag the camper with you. I think it’s perfect for folks who really want to get out into the middle of nowhere.
@@cityslickeroutdoors8306 ha, you hit it on the nose, I was thinking the same thing after researching all this stuff, vans are too small, 5th wheels are too big, this is just right for singles or couples. + some of the host models are 4 season.
I’m selling my 2019 Cascade . Unit has all the extras. Used six times. Ram truck with customized suspension going also.
I wish I could get a remote job so I could live this lifestyle, would love it!
CVS pharmacy is always hiring remotely.
My wife talked me into a truck camper last year. I never thought I would enjoy it but it is awesome. I love the flexibility it offers. The ability to pull in just about anywhere and take it off to leave it at the campsite are nice options. I would consider a flatbed if I was to upgrade.
The flatbed would be pretty amazing too. I've seen some truck campers on those too.
Look in to a lance 1172 or a 1062 which are comparable in size....LANCE is truly a 4 season's camper. Ive had mine in -30°F and was warm as a bug in a rug.. lol. They have great quality and finish work, also if you camp in cooler climates you Actually have ducted heat throughout your bedroom.bathroom, living area and in the underbelly so your tanks won't freeze. HOST just has a space heater under the couch.
Hello. The lance 1172 and 1062 are great campers. My casscade is 4 season too. I have ducting to the basement where the grey and fresh tank are housed and the black sits in the slide under the couch. I have been in weather below zero as well. Iowa is home for me. 😀. I enjoy that feature very much. Have a great day
Wendy Kadner 😀 That's so good to know Wendy. I knew it was rated as 4 season, but wasn't sure what made it that way.
xceler8 auto 😀Thanks for the info on Lance. I just saw Wendy replied with the Host 4 season camper and what makes it that way.
@@AmberJBaldwin Your welcome 😁....I only know that because I too was looking in to getting a HOST cascade or mammoth and I notice That there wasn't any heating ducts anywhere and I live in Wisconsin where it gets really cold . 🥶
Artic fox is another truck camper that I highly recommend looking in to....👍
Wow, I had no idea there was so much space in a camper. Very nice
We did a tour of the Host facility and they were soooo kind and showed everything! We love Host!!
This is my dream retirement home that I’m really trying to buy NOW. I’m looking forward to the manufacturing tour.
Donna Ocasio 😀 You and me both! lol
Wow, that was pretty damn impressive! I never considered a truck camper before, but with the slides....it's a whole new ball game. Thx Amber and Wendy!
Jud Rose Thanks so much! ☺️ ..and you're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
i just have to thank you again for the truck to carry that small but very impressive home!!!
Wow, love that Host camper. I would absolutely buy it. My husband even likes it and he never liked truck campers before.
Tygerlady99 😀 Oh well that's a plus! Glad he liked it.
It’s amazing how big these truck campers are inside. And all you really need is the bathroom, and this is easier than trying to find that in a van.
City Slicker Outdoors 😀
I have a 40’ fith wheel and I could see myself having a truck camper. Any lady with a truck like hers and a camper is just REALY cool. Enjoy
Well said!
I will be doing the exact same thing this year. My van will be sold and I’m going to buy a dually and probably a Northern Lite truck camper. Rock on girl!
101taiga 😀 I keep hearing about the Northern Lite truck campers. What's your favorite part about it and why are choosing that truck camper? I'm still in research mode so I'm very interested in your thoughts on it.
@@AmberJBaldwin There are so many nuances btw camper companies Amber.... ie last week in a couple msgs to you (one via your website on this topic, I did not hear back) - I reminded you about the INSULATION factors company to company, that is the first thing I research about a company, incl. when I stopped this video to go research this company for a bit. Insulation is key whether you are in summer heat or winter cold, and even in rain.
Story Chasing I think fiberglass is the way to go for a variety of reasons: lighter weight, decreased leaking (clamshell fiberglass fabrication very much like a boat), well insulated and 4 season capable. I like the modern interior of NL Campers, the storage, the durability if well cared for and maintained. I don’t want any slides for too many reasons to list, but mostly because they would be of no use to me 50% of the time. I’m a travel RN and when on a contract and working, I sleep in the hospital parking lot, where extending slides would be problematic. Also, I want everything accessible all the time, which slides sometimes prohibit. Just my opinion of course. Also looking at Bigfoot, but they’re bigger and heavier and I want something a bit more sleek and streamlined. Both have excellent reputations. Keep us updated! I would love to know what you decide on✌🏼
@@101taiga You have very specific needs and have really identified them well. If you look at my other comments here, NL and Bigfoot were high on my list too. Arctic Foxes also.
Barry Dutton Sells Homes totally agree that insulation is a big factor especially when you're looking at all season campers. Hymer did a horrible job at insulating our vans!
host campers are the cadillac of truck campers, you answered my most unanswered questions when you mentioned the truck. host campers are heavy compared with others, but look at the set up. absolutely beautiful, so much room, the dry bath is awesome, the power setup you have is another great way to enjoy, i really enjoyed this video, so many unanswered questions answered. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Glad I could help and thanks so much for watching.
Somehow I discovered Host and definitely changed my mind about a van vs. truck camper. Seeing it presented by you two just solidifies Host has more versatility and better boon-docking capabilities. Thanks for a great video.
Amber, thank you for sharing the Host Camper tour. I was amazed at the "homeyness" this one offered. I love RAM diesel trucks too. I'm eager to see your video at Host.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
One of the big things you’re paying for in a property is the view. And the outdoors buffer zone away from your neighbors. You get all that and more with this, for free!! How can you beat that???
City Slicker Outdoors 😀 Right!
Absolutely love that camper! I opted for a class c because I didn’t have a truck and I have a teen at home so wanted more space but started out looking at these. So much bigger inside than it looks! Thanks for sharing
That is awesome! Good luck and safe travels too!
Totally amazing video. I am now going to look at this type of camper. Thanks a bunch. It's good to know that such wonderful and brave women are out there living life to the fullest.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tour. Wendy has it all figured out and presents the features of the camper very well. Looking forward to viewing the video on loading/unloading the camper from the truck.
Thanks for watching!
I never considered a truck camper before this video. Very informative video, thanks. Safe travels
Glad it was helpful! They are different, but can provide a great space.
Love this rig. 65 gallons of fresh!!
Matt Ridder 😀
Can we get to know more about the 3" electrical bed riser? Would love to add that our rig.
As always great video!!!!
Vie 🇨🇦
I'm here for the same reason. Would like a link to bed lift.
Sylvie Mayer 😀 Here's a link on Amazon to the frame Wendy has and it weighs approximately 119 lbs: amzn.to/2DT1KsA
Stephannie Peterson 😀Here's a link on Amazon to the frame Wendy has and it weighs approximately 119 lbs: amzn.to/2DT1KsA
I've always dreamed of getting a Host truck camper. Host makes the best looking campers that actually look and feel like a "home" to me as well.
IKARIANOFFICIAL 😀 I totally agree with you! Amazing campers that feel like a home.
3500 dodge ram is definitely the right truck. Go ram diesels . That is an awesome rig you have there. Only thing missing for me is a front wench . Cummins diesel-powered .
Steve Pisula Glad you liked it. I think I might put a front wench on too just in case.
Thanks to your video, we pick up our Host Mammoth the end of this month! I'm so glad you shared this camper.
I recently bought a Palamino HS8801 truck camper. Like Wendy's, it also sits in a Ram with the Cummins diesel . I went back & forth on the slides, and ultimately decided they weren't worth the extra weight, cost, maintenance and accessibility when they're in. I also have a similar solar setup as Wendy's. It's a game-changer when you can run your AC without hookups or generator.
So, tip of the day: don't skimp on solar. 😎
Florida Man 😀 I couldn't agree with you more on solar!!! My last rig had 750 watts and I never used a generator. Love it. How many watts do you have of solar and what type of batteries, etc?
@@AmberJBaldwin
I only had enough roof real estate for 600 watts. But I ran them in series/parallel for more amperage. I have a 3000w renogy inverter, and 2 Renogy 170ah lithiums. I can run my ac indefinitely when the sun is out, and many hours after it goes down. It's reassuring to know I have that kind of power wherever I go.
Florida Man 😀 absolutely!
Neve mind the rig, Wendy 's the treat.
Hans Sachs 😀
You are too sweet!!
@@wendyhoffman3985 You need to start making videos! You are so well spoken and GORGEOUS! I think you'd fo really well on here.
@@wendyhoffman3985 great rig! Trying to find your Instagram account plz send the Link 🙏🏼
She certainly does have a very homey camper.
David murling 😀 Yeah I love it!!! She's amazing at the use of space and loading and unloading the camper which she does often.
Working remote from the RV full time, the moment I saw her pepwave router I was like yep she's doing it right.
WOW! Who knew all that fits in a truck camper. The inside does not look like a camper of any kind. And that bed 🤩 I want one! 👍
This is really amazing. I also noticed the back splash.
Eugene Street Thanks so much! ☺️ So cool isn't it?
Was waiting for this video -- I just spent the last 90 solid mins researching TC's specifically Northern-Lite and Bigfoots.
Barry Dutton Sells Homes what do you think when you compare these now?
Get land first
One of the nicest truck camper layouts I've seen. I love the high-low table!
I am mind blown how much room there is and how friggin sweet todays campers are, at least the Host. I have been stuck remembering my dads in the 70’s and how small and COLD it was at night. Awesome video, you really opened my eyes. What a great move she made. Man how exciting it must be for you guys to literally go anywhere you like, wake up every morning with beautiful views or most mornings. So cool.
Couldn't agree more! This live is pretty amazing. If you’re curious about traveling full-time, I have a free masterclass you can watch (3 videos) that will help you to fly the nest and get prepared. It's called “INSIDER SECRETS TO MANIFESTING YOUR DREAM LIFE AND TRAVEL FULL-TIME!"
at www.storychasing.com/masterclass
Been eyeing Host campers a while for purchase. Nice video!
Awesome! Thank you!
What a fantastic setup! Those tank sizes are huge and I want that bed!
Traveling With Joe 😀 Right!!!
I got to tour a mammoth host...the floorplans is amazing and the best feature is the windows,,,u can really enjoy the veaw...fireplace is amazing
I went to an RV show in a major area and didn't see these. Nor the Shastas, which I would have gone for, too.
Awesome truck camper!! Seems like the best option for a single full-timer that likes to travel a lot. Thanks for sharing!!
It really is! Thanks for watching!
Amazing! I can see why your considering a change!
Jen T 😀 Cool isn't it?
This setup is the best thing going, until the Hyundai Porest mini RV comes over here, if it ever does.
City Slicker Outdoors 😀 I haven't heard of this.
@@AmberJBaldwin There's a number of great setups that aren't sold in US.
Fantastic layout! Surprised at the amount of space and comfort features!
I totally agree!
Awesome tour. Having been researching this lifestyle and never considered truck campers until now. I’m blown away by the roominess, capacities and livability of it. It’s made me realize I’ve so much to learn.
You can do it!
She legit got stuck in the spot she calls the morgue 😂
Sabrina Kopke 😀
Hi Amber - Thanks so much for having Wendy take us on tour of her camper. I never thought much about truck campers, but the setup that Wendy has looks fantastic. I'll be waiting to see more of what you present when you visit Host Campers. Thank you, Bob
Thanks for watching!
Awesome choice! Scarey Morgue stuck experience
Amazing you can run fireplace, ac, tv etc
Amazing
I love to cook so great you have oven and amazing water capacity!
Thanks for watching
Its very spacious inside, I really love the layout and the fire place. You don't expect so much space from the outside. Looks amazing
At 11:18 there's a little orb going upwards on the left. Thats a good thing, it means she's protected. She's a smart lady, best wishes ❣
Campground for one night to do tank maintenance and regroup that’s genius. You could also upload videos on the WiFi. In summer could unhook the camper, leave the dogs in there with the AC going and also go resupply and handle your business too while you’re there.
City Slicker Outdoors 😀 exactly!
I'd be scares of A/C failure. I'd have backups to my backups.
This is truly a beautiful home. It feels like that the minute you come inside and that's what we look for when we buy. We had a 5th wheel that was that same kind of home, unfortunately a tornado wiped it out. Nobody was injured including the town that it hit. No casualties or injuries. My only issue at this point, as we are going to be purchasing again in the hopefully near future is we don't want to pay for a truck and then the camper which won't be another 5th wheel by the way. Maybe we might buy a used truck if the stars aligned for that situation, and then we would absolutely be open to buying a Truck Camper, and Host would definitely be a real consideration. Thanks ladies for this most informative video! Tim and Tammie Miller. Btw, we just sub'd your channel and can't wait to see what you've been up to! Don't know how we've missed you after all the videos we've watched. Glad we found you now though!
Tim Miller Yikes sorry to hear about your home. You're so welcome and thanks for watching and subscribing Tim AND Tammie! 😊
O.O Oh my gob smack... Slide on the back of that truck. WOW! Yes creates more space how is the balancing act. Brilliant truck. Brilliant vlog. Thanks Ladies. I am amazed by you both.
CeNedra Lea Heldra 😀 lol!!! Dang! Love your sweet comments and thoughtful approach. I appreciate that you find so much value in my videos and content! Cheers and take care!
I see why you want a truck camper now! It really does look like a studio apartment. Love how open it is! I can see sweet Lily chillaxing on that bed!
Yes! Thank you! Oh Lily...she'll love it because she can jump to the bed and then to the floor. Currently I have to help her onto the bed.
Story Chasing that’s perfect! She’ll love being able to jump up & down on the bed! My Daisy is 14 so I have to get her up & down too. Miss those days of her sailing through the air jumping off the bed but so grateful I still have my old girl! I was going to say I can see you & Lily chillaxing on the bed but that sounded a bit creepy. lol Changed it to just sweet Lily. Hope it all works out for you Amber! Can’t wait to see what you pick out!
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE YOU. YOU ARE VERY ORGANIZED IN THE WAY YOU TALK AND PRESENT EVERYTHING. YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN TRAINING, HOSTING, INSTRUCTING, ETC. YOU NEVER STUMBLE F... OVER WORDS OR REPEAT YOURSELF. YOU COULD HOST ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. YOU HAVE A VERY GOOD HOST/PRESENTER VOICE AND STYLE. I WATCH FOR MORE FROM YOU. THANKS.. WYATT... AND NICE CAMERA WORK.....
WYATT WESTWOOD You're welcome and thanks so much for watching!
Wow! This ain't grandaddy's camper! I must admit I never realized how modernized they've become. Now they're on my list.
Wow, what a great informative video! I wouldn’t have considered a truck camper until Wendy shared hers with us. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love everything about this. I thought I wanted a van but this is very impressive 👌🏾
Fantastic video ... Wow ... what a courageous woman. Keep up the great adventures and keep us posted!
Thank you so much!
Wendy does have a nice set up Thanks 4 Sharing .
Shout out to Wendy, my truck camper/Xscapers friend. The bed frame looks pretty cool, might have to put one in the Arctic Fox 811. Enjoy your travels!!!
Kirk Harris Here's a link on Amazon to the frame Wendy has and it weighs approximately 119 lbs: amzn.to/2DT1KsA.
Story Chasing
cool, thanks Amber
Your awesome. Thank you for the tour, I have been rving since 1996 in my 38 ft diesel pusher. I am considering down sizing, I really liked the floor plan of the cascade, gave me a lot to think about.
Again thank you
I have been dreaming of a rig for a long time. Following youtubers along on their journey and rigs and found what i thought i would like for my needs when that day comes. Then this truck camper came along, and my god.. This is it. Small but yet so spacious! And as Wendy says, it really has the feel of home. Also, it can take you where you want to go. I am so excited to see what your decision will be Amber, ill vote for this one! :) Thank you guys for showing this beautiful home!
You sound like me the first time I saw one. 🤩
Elisabeth Englin I love this one too! I really am leaning towards Host. I have more research to do, but so far I love it. I was skeptical about the slides, but I feel confident after talking to Wendy about it.
I'm glad you enjoyed this video Elisabeth and maybe one day you'll get one too. Hope to see you on the road sometime.
Wendy Kadner 😀
@@AmberJBaldwin i hope so too! :)
Elisabeth Englin 😀
This lady sure knows her RV there!! Great video!!
You got that right! Thank you!
What a super cool experience.
John Brown Thanks so much! ☺️
And that overhead part you can set a couple of launchers underneath it and have you some shade and still be outside
I absolutely love this set up. This lady is brilliant. So smart.
Cab overs are so fascinating with their clever use of space and design. Thumbs up.
Dive Bar Casanova I thought so too!😊
You asked all the questions I had!! I wanted a truck camper but only had seen videos saying it's difficult to load back on when it's off. So excited!! It's reignited my desire for them again!
Glad I could help! This week there is a video of Wendy unloading and loading so be sure to watch that.
@@AmberJBaldwin I'm looking forward to. I'm glad you making the consideration too. I love the amount of space. Please video the ones you look at :) Enjoy your search ok and don't stress...it's been a crazy year from Alaska forward for you.
I can’t believe how much truck campers have come up in the world. This is really nice!
Army Amazon 😀 lol right??
It’s a bathroom on wheels and it carries water and waste water. Plus you get a bed too and a hangout area. These things have it all.
City Slicker Outdoors I totally agree. Thanks for watching and commenting! I so appreciate it and you! 🙏😊
Great camper with the perfect truck I am a retired Florida RV dealer I always sold truck campers people just wanted to put them on half tons and not going to work they are great for Towing a boat off road toy or two horse trailer towing a jeep. a
dealer stopped by told my manager wow you can't sell truck campers in Florida he said yeah the owner doesn't know what he's doing. don't educate the other dealers. I sold a lot of them I now have a lance with a slide out Ford Crew Cab dually I don't even know it's on there
Wayne Anderson Thanks so much for watching!
Holy crap look at that morgue tray WOW that's awesome
I'm really impressed with this truck camper. I never realized how nice they are. I did hear that it's important to purchase a truck that's has a more powerful engine then necessary to always be on the safe side like you did getting the nice 3500 diesel
Wow!!
What an incredible floor plan and amazed the spaciousness that you get from the dual slide.
What a versatile set up to get to those remote spots.
👍🏼
Glad you like it!
Nice campervan😘😀👍 this channel is very helpful for the people who is planning to have camper/vanlife.. lot of ideas you can get👍😀
Love this truck camper...layout is amazing for sure and now will look at Host a bit closer just based on that and the customer service! Thanks for sharing Amber and Wendy!
Michelle Cella Schleis 😀 You're so welcome.
I had no idea today's truck campers were so nice. I was throughly impressed!
Right?!
@@AmberJBaldwin I had never even considered one untill seeing this video.
I love a truck camper. If I had the money I would have gotten that first instead of my van.
That's a big one!
I've twice had my "Spidey Sense" activate where I felt the need to move away quickly, once after dark. I was quite uneasy exiting my truck camper to go to the truck to drive away. (Boondocking in natl forest)
Always carry some kind of weapon. Either a big can of bear spray and a nice pocket knife or even a hammer but you have to have something just in case. I'm glad you got out of there safely
I'd have a Rottweiler and a pass-through, myself. Jmo.
Hadn't considered a truck camper but now I am! I LOVE the layout! It's roomy, bedding for grandkids, has a real stove and microwave, full bath, cute FP ❤️- the icing on the cake, and the storage pullout tray is FANTASTIC! Would like to know cost of truck, cost of camper, cost of upgrades! I'm a 68 y.o Grandma, and can u just keep it attached to the truck at the camper sites? All of that detaching or attaching, don't know about that. I'm buying an adult electric trike I can ride about on, I have an electric adult Scooter with Seat I use, instead of my car. Oh, can u pull the slide out while u are docked without detaching from the truck? THANKS, this gives me a lot to consider, hope it is cheaper than the Class C I thought about!
Sahara Glass You're welcome and thanks so much for watching! Wendy who owns the truck camper has answered most of your questions here if you look at the comments section. She's been pretty detailed so I hope that helps you. It's a very nice set-up she has and she's been super helpful.
This woman is my hero. 😂❤️
wow.... blown away by the space and feel of that thing! what a design
Bigtexnick You're welcome and thanks so much for watching!
I think the transition to a truck camper is not, ‘IF’, but “WHEN”. Safe travels!
Eileen Stickney lol....exactly.
I strongly recommend looking at the Oliver Elite II. That's what I would buy if I could ever break free of this *sticks and bricks* rut. It's relatively small and compact, has no slides (which will inevitably be a problem), is a true four season rig, and costs less than a lot of truck campers. It also has a cargo carrying capacity that dwarfs anything that you could put in the bed of a truck. Another plus is that set-up is much simpler, and overall stability is better. If you can connect with someone who has a current year model, I would love to see a review.
Mark Villano Thanks for the info. The Olivers are really nice but I'm not sure about a trailer as it doesn't have the nimbleness that I desire.
Small world, ran into a couple today at a campground in Colorado from ohio, same exact truck camper, nice unit, congratulations!
Very cool!
I’m still trying to shake off the heebee jeebees thinking about getting trapped on that morgue table. I’ve never been stuck, but I have nightmares about it. Legit that’s a deal breaker for me, such a gorgeous rig, I think I’d have to have someone modify that for me lol 😂
One of the few good things about COVID is that it is making office-based employers more open to full-time remote employees, so you are not as trapped by high cost housing areas, etc.
Vidalion 😀 So true!
Awesome setup, and cool lady! I think I would've counted on a generator more than a solar system, if I headed in places like Alaska. But! She is totally happy!
