How Much Does a Used Host Mammoth Truck Camper Cost?

Host Mammoth truck campers tend to hold their value pretty well, thanks to their higher quality construction and use of more premium materials, which tend to hold up well over time.

Because just like all RVs, the Host Mammoth truck camper will depreciate over time, with a big chunk of that depreciation occurring in the first few years.

And to illustrate this point, just take a look at the average depreciation of an RV over the course of 10 years.

What Kind of Truck do You Need to Carry a Host Mammoth?

Thanks to the extremely large size and heavyweight of the Host Mammoth truck camper, the Mammoth requires an equally large and robust truck to adequately and safely carry the camper.  

As 1/2-ton trucks such as the Ford F-150 and the Toyota Tundra and even 3/4-ton trucks like the Ford F-250 and Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, don’t have enough payload capacity to safely or reliably carry the Mammoth truck camper.

As they lack the suspension, engine, drivetrain, and transmissions to be able to handle the weight and size of a Mammoth truck camper.

Because of this, you need a minimum of a 1-ton truck, preferably in a “dually” configuration to adequately and safely handle the size and weight of a Host Mammoth truck camper.

Are Host Campers Four Season?

Host Campers makes five main truck camper models, including the Yukon, the Mammoth, the Everest, the Cascade, and the Tahoe, which are all four-season truck campers.

Allowing you to camp year-round regardless of how hot or cold the temperature is outside.

Which might not seem like that big of a deal, but in actuality is a really big deal.

As most truck campers from other manufacturers are not four-season ready or capable.

As there are only a handful of high-end truck camper manufacturers that make a four-season truck camper, due to the added cost and complications that come with making a truck camper four-season.  

For example, just take a look at all the below cold-weather features on a Host Camper that are needed to make it four-season capable.

Standard Cold Weather Features that Make a Host Camper Four Season

• Vacuum Bonded Foam Insulated Walls, Floor, and Ceiling
• 30,000 BTU Forced Air Furnace
• Enclosed and Heated Holding Tanks
• Insulated Locking Exterior Storage Compartment Doors
• Freeze Resistant 1/2-inch Water Lines
• Fully Enclosed Service Center

Which is why truck campers that are four-season are always more expensive than truck campers that are not.
