I think the cascade is the best truck camper out there. !!! The best layout for sure. !!!
We personally love it, but we're glad there are so many different options everyone can choose whats best for them! And it's even better with our recent upgrades!
I love Host Campers. If you want the biggest and the best in Pickup Truck Bed Campers, then the Host Cascade and the Mammoth are unbeatable.
I do have to agree, Mark. But shhh... I might be a little biased. 😉
@@TheJoslynJourney Where are you good folks from ? I'm in BC, Canada, and we cannot get any Host campers unless we drive South to Bend, Oregon, and purchase one directly. No resellers for Host in Canada. Our loss I'm sure.
@Mark Job we're Florida residents right now but travel full-time. We are in Oregon right now but headed to Washington in July and maybe a bit into BC after if I can convince Gary. Maybe help us put with some great destination ideas, and I'll see if I can win him over! 😀
@@TheJoslynJourney Hey ! Why not take the famous day boat from North Washington State at Port Angeles called "The M.V. Coho," (Black Ball Line Ferry), to Victoria, BC, and then get on HWY 19 and head North Up Vancouver Island to Port McNeill and Port Hardy. There's lots of campgrounds (Including Free ones) on Vancouver Island, and your USD's will go over 30 % further in Canuk Land 😃👍. Then take the Ferry over from Port McNeill to come visit me in Alert Bay, BC, Canada. 🍁 🍁 🇨🇦 😃
@Mark Job That sounds like an awesome idea. But be careful - we might just do this!
OMG! I love this unit, the color scheme, the layout including the modifications here n there, just everything. Feels like a home!! I know what I'll be looking for when I'm ready! Take good care!!
Thank you! The colors are stock - we haven't changed that, and it really does feel like a small home. We love it!
Your rig is fantastic. Plenty of room for two people. I definitely would go this route instead of a class B or C . Love it.
Thanks, we absolutely love it too! It's awesome to have awd and an option to haul our boat when we want,too. Thanks for stopping by! 👋
I really like the layout of this camper. The L shaped couch for the kitchen table is pretty cool. Also, the interior colors, woods, etc make this thing look really really comfortable and homey. Not like your standard truck camper.
The layout is very unique when it comes to truck campers. We love it but are always making changes (but we live in it all the time). We just painted the cabinets white to make it brighter, and am loving it!
Gosh, that's SO nice!
Thank you! We really love our camper - truck camping/glamping at it's finest!
Cool setup.
Thanks! We really like it!
Hello! Just found your channel. Thanks for the tour!
Hi Jarhead & Ginger's Journey - glad you found us! Enjoy the ride! 😉
It was so great meeting you today. And now I get to see the I side of your rig, too. Hope to see you on the road when we may be able to hang out and I'm healed.
Hi Rob! I'm so glad you stopped by - I do hope we meet again, but hopefully not at a hakey sack game! 🤪
Love it !
Thank you!
hope you have a bigger than average truck to haul your overstuffed very nice home. really good layout, likable.😅
Yeah, that's one of the challenges of these behemoth truck campers - you need a BEEFY truck. We have a Ram 5500 with a custom truck bed. While a 3500 dually will typically work, we ended up upgrading to the 5500 to support the required payload for the camper + full-time stuff. Here's a video of that monster! th-cam.com/video/wv353XdYxgE/w-d-xo.html
At 14:30 had me wondering who's this Gary character? 😂 New here hope to see him lol
Ha! He's around here somewhere, either fixing something or most likely starting a conversation with a random person he just met. 😆
What fan did you mount on the wall in bedroom?

We have a 2023 Cascade and just spent five weeks traveling through Canada and Alaska. It is a beautiful camper, and you are right it does feel more like a home. I am sorry but why so much stuff? FYI the Ninja Speedi fits in the cabinet under the kitchen sink.
We live in the camper full-time which does make things a bit different. What looked like too much to you? I'm curious...
@@TheJoslynJourney The use of space the lack of organization. I know you live in the camper full time, but a little Swedish death cleaning (an actual thing) would make your space way more pleasant. I love my camper and treat it like my home which it is when we are traveling. Less is better and for the love of god get all that stuff out of your shower. However, do what you want i it is your life enjoy it.
Yeah, I agree that we could lose a little clutter, but I'd rather show normal use. We use our shower to hang up clothes that are wet from the rain or snow. Winter clothes are also quite bulky and work best in the shower. We have much less stuff out now in the summer but ah well. Thanks for watching!
@@TheJoslynJourney You are welcome and you asked.
I did. And I appreciate the feedback!
Curious, why did you choose the Cascade over other Host models like the Mammoth? And did you test any EagleCap campers like the 1165 or 1200?
Hi Calvin. That's a great question - I should make a video on that! We originally looked at the Lance 1172, Eagle Cap 1165 , the Host Mammoth and the Host Cascade. We felt the quality was better on the Hosts based upon what we saw. They seemed to be laid out better as well. We chose the Cascade over the Mammoth back in 2018 since we had a Ram 3500 dually (diesel, crew cab, 4x4) and was quite concerned about being overweight. The Cascade was about 1000 lbs lighter. We also liked the layout of the Cascade - the recliners made it feel more like a home . We also liked the bathroom tucked back rather than it being the first thing you see when you walk in on the Mammoth. We liked the back door vs the side door (if you're staying at rest stops you can't easily have your steps out without blocking other rigs). But we preferred the windows in the Mammoth (we have a bathroom window vs more in the living area) and now they have cool ideas to shroud the toilet in the Mammoth. There are days when I wonder if we can go smaller like the Northern Lite without slides, and then I have days wishing I had 3 slides so we can have one of my (grown) kids stay overnight. Always looking... :) Hope this helps!
@@TheJoslynJourney thanks for the detailed reply. The weight difference concern makes sense. Some TH-cam videos show the Mammoth on 350/3500s, but I think I'd personally be concerned about weight without suspension upgrades. At that point, going to 450/550 for peace of mind might be easier.
@Calvin L I agree. That's why we upgraded to a 5500 before going fulltime. We were over gvwr but not axle weight. So too close for comfort unless we were doing short trips and not packing much. Just our $0.02.
The sad part about host campers is they are too heavy for the legs to support. I had one sitting next to my northern light down here in Key West and the legs collapsed on the Host with stable campers attached.
Hmmm... Interesting. I personally haven't heard much of this and was at a Host repair facility last year for several months. All of them pending work there were using just the jacks to keep them up. We use our jacks regularly at campgrounds as well (off the truck). I wonder if there was something else wrong that may have caused that to happen. I have seen jacks compromised when someone accidentally backs into something or something backed into the camper. Those jacks are rated to 4500 lbs per jack - we're heavy but not THAT heavy! 😁
@TheJoslynJourney yea it surprised me also. The front corners of the camper caved in and the Jack's pulled the corners apart. I have never seen one do that. No matter what brand it is. I got some really good pictures of it but I have no idea what caused it to tear apart. Unless they changed something on the 2024 models.
It was a 2024 model???
@TheJoslynJourney according to the owner it was a 2024 model.
I'm 6'4" do u know of any builds or truck campers that are tall enough for some one of my height to live in comfortably?
Hello, and thanks for looking! Host rigs are reasonably comfortable for someone of that height. The shower skylight will give you good room and light. Gary is 6'1" and his biggest challenge is washing his face or shaving in the mirror (he gave up and does that in the shower). In general the Host toilets are a bit weird - you have a step to get up there. Best to try one out. Eagle Caps I understand are decent for taller folks too, but they are no longer being built as of 2022. Hope this helps!
@@TheJoslynJourney thank you so much yes this is extremely helpful and confirms this is the best decision for me and fulfilling my dream
These are some great campers. If you're thinking about it in the future, I'd certainly suggest getting onto the Host Truck Camper Owners site. It's for people who have and are looking at them. It may help - it has for us!
@@TheJoslynJourney I'm planning on living on the road and traveling America and I think this is the better idea cause I don't need to pull a trailer and its disconnect able so u can leave my home at a campsite and use my truck. Been trying to plan this for half a year now and working on getting a truck to get my self out of my apartment
@adeleburchett8663 just be aware these campers are SUPER heavy. Many of us have large trucks (5500/550), especially if you're going to be on the road full-time. Just buying a dually may not be enough. That's quite a bit of a learning curve. We had a Ram 3500 dually and went to the larger 5500 because we were overweight before wven adding all our full-time stuff. Food for thought! But we've LOVED being on the road for the last 2 years!
Let us know what questions you have about our setup, our travels - whatever questions you have on your mind (*almost* whatever!) ☺
how much did this camper cost? thanks! really need to know
@Sim Ching ee (Dunmanss) Hello! The cost in 2018 is significantly less than what it is today. Not a good comparison. A 2022/23 model with a high off-grid battery/solar package is running around $120k. We installed our own battery/solar which saved $$. You can go to hostcampers.com to see different versions or head out to rvtrader.com to see used models. Thanks for asking!
@@TheJoslynJourney thanks for letting me know. its sad that the prices are increasing and becoming more unaffordable
@@simchingeedunmanss2958 unfortunately thats the case for all rvs. Used options are the best bet these days.
Total pack rat. The opposite of minimalism. I'd go nuts with all that clutter. How do you do it? hahaha
Is being a full-time truck camper hoarder a thing? We could make it work! 😉
