Here are a couple more complaints I ran across on the internet of HOST problems. These are found in some RV forums.

THANKS TO HOST, I AM NO LOGER A HAPPY CAMPER!!

If you buy a HOST camper you may end up with this

Before you buy a Host camper you should know that they don't stand behind their product! We are the owners of a $40,000 camper that is falling apart at the seams.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING A HOST CAMPER!

We purchased a 2005 Host Truck Camper and after one short season (May to Sept. in NH) in 2006 started having problems with it. We went to Host thinking they would assume responsibility for the problem that to us was clearly theirs. After many phone calls and e-mails all we got from them was a "you're out of warranty". They did offer to give us a break on the cost of the parts if we brought the camper to OREGON! We took the camper to three (3) different repair places and they all agreed that the camper was structurally weak and poorly engineered and the repairs were going to be between $7,000-$10,000. Each and everytime we put the camper on the truck and hauled it to one of the repair shops for evaluation the damage got worse. The pictures don't show the problems with the slide outs (the slide outs won't come out without causing more damage) but they do show some of the other problems. I don't think any one should pay $40,000 for a camper and expect to get only a few short months before it can not be used. It is now a very expensive lawn ornament that we are still making payments on. I am trying to prevent anyone else from going through the same financial and emotional frustration.

The following picture will show how the slide outs have sagged. Please note the decals and how they no longer line up. The slide outs sagging have caused strain on the bottom of the camper and in fact have caused the frame to crack.

We are hoping to warn other people about our problems so that they do not purchase a camper that is so BADLY engineered that it is unsafe and not road worthy.
