What a great video and tour. And you didn’t try to get anybody to subscribe or like your video, you were just being a normal guy who is four months into his RV life and showing everyone your rig and its features. This is how it should be done. No bagging, no advertising, no selling stuff in links from Amazon down in your description, not trying to make people feel like they should donate to your Patreon account, etc. etc. Good for you. Just a straightforward video. And I think it’s a fantastic rig and floor plan. The bathroom is fantastic.

My wife of about 55 years and I have traveled all 50 states via hotels and campers too! Big country, the third largest on mother Earth. We had a small 12 footer when I was a poor professor of radio, TV & communications etc., cutting meat weekends and summers, as teachers are mostly poor. However, 3,000 TV shows later, eight books later and many thank God better jobs running advertising/marketing/P.R. for big food chains got me out of poverty as a teacher. We had two other campers, one a 28 foot trailer pulled by a Ford truck and the latest was a 36 foot 5th wheel with four big slide-outs. I must say that bigger is not always better and we spent many vacations fixing the big guy, water heaters, toilets, sinks, furnace, insulation added, side rails for upstairs, as there was a huge upstairs full bathroom with full tub, toilet, sink and a large king bed with lots of storage. I must say I was most impressed with this video and his truck camper with actually lots of room and well thought out design too! He is a perfect camper guy, handy with the add-ons, just like us. I wish we had the solar panels, as that is the answer to off road camping and that composting toilet is also the answer, as I can't count the dozens of times I dreaded flushing that system. It is interesting that he can run the air conditioner system with that solar power. The two slides he has make it look and feel big. Now as we see the world and 53 cruises and ten world land trips later, my wife says NO to any more of those camping days. From now on it is the Hilton chain as members or sleep in our Acura MDX, God forbid!

We wish they would have included struts on the overhead cabinets. We end up having to use a wooden spoon to hold them up. We should just upgrade them ourselves. Also it would have been nice to have a maxair fan in the bathroom. The one that is present is so loud. Enjoy your travels.

Justin, Man, you’re living the life I hope to before long! Really enjoyed the tour of your Host Cascade camper, and that you’re doing it solo- Guessing your truck has the 7.3 gas engine, as I don’t see the Diesel badging on the doors. I went that route too, only I found a good deal on a used 2017 F350 with the 6.2 gas engine running 3.73 gears 4x4 truck, and couldn’t pass up the deal! That was just before Covid hit and the price of everything sky-rocketed.. I’m running a Lance 820 shortbed camper I found in excellent shape, with a Decked brand crossbox that has a built-in deployable ladder for easy access when the camper is on the truck. This setup works pretty well, as right now I’m not full time and it’s only my Doberman & I. Envious of your dry bath though, lol!

Todd, the AF 1140, drybath i was seriously considering, absolutely fell in love with it until i saw these young utubers with the same truck as my ram, dually, crewcab, they had just gotten the AF 1150 and i was a bit shocked, the camper looked overly huge and way to heavy on the truck. It was very concerning to me, i then saw another utuber he had the 1140, and he warned you the weight is a lot more than they say it is, he took his truck n camper to the weight scales. Well that solidified it for me. Glad I saw what i saw, it made me re-think my priorities all out. i ended up with 10-2 northern lite, drybath version, full fibre glass roof, no tpo roof and no slide maintenance, cut my maintenance issues in half right there! This was also my 4th RV, but i was love struck by the AF, made me forget how I hate tpo n slide maintenance, Lol. Love my NL no regrets! 🍻

Ok. Just happened to find you today. First question I have is why did you choose host over arctic Fox.? I like both but if I were to live in one I would choose the Arctic Fox. The fresh drinking water is a problem in all campers. Many fifth wheels now have separate water for drinking and Ice. Builders have added a ten gallon bottle that you can fill at a grocery store. It goes in the hold with special pump on top of it. So you dive and bike and look to be in good shape. I would miss my dog but to some the freedom is worth more. I need either my guy or dog out both. Like to be around very few people but I've always needed the partner out the dog. Tell me/us about you. What do you do for a living and where have you gone in this four months? Do you get lonely? 😢
@TruckCamperExploring
Жыл бұрын
I’ll be making a video soon answering all those questions. But the quick version is I chose Host over AF because I fell in love with this camper’s layout. For a living I repair wind turbines around the country. I do not get lonely. I’m 100% content by myself but I talk to my mom and brother almost daily. I also talk to the animals I see daily but so far, they haven’t talked back.

Nice video. It's very similar to my Host 2023 Yukon, which is a triple slide. However, your propane tanks are not 40 pounders; they're 30 pounders. I have a Dish antenna on the roof & ran the cable down thru the grey tank vent cap & down alongside the vent pipe into the interior, which you could probably do with your Starlink hookup. I had to redesign the solar panel layout on the roof, because at certain times of the year & certain parking angles, the air conditioner cover was shading two of the panels & killing the solar power input. It appears yours might be doing the same thing. While redesigning the panels I also made them tiltable for maximum effect when staying long term like you appear to be in the desert. Also, removing the camper jacks makes it difficult to service the truck. Many auto maintenance/repair facilities cannot service the truck with the camper attached, either because of weight limits on their vehicle lifts or doors/ceilings not high enough to get the truck into the facility. Also, if your truck ever needs major repairs on the road, the Ford dealer might need to raise the cab to get at the transmission or rear of the engine, & it can't be raised with the camper on.
@TruckCamperExploring
22 күн бұрын
Good points. The only time I ever take the camper off is to get routine maintenance on my truck and so I do at that time, install the jacks. But it's only every 10,000 miles so I don't mind too much. I've thought about making my solar panels tiltable. That would help in the winter for sure.
