2022 HOST Mammoth Truck Camper Pick Up!!

[@420sookie]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS MAMMOTH FOR YEARS..... NICE TO SEE SOMEONE THAT USES IT AND LET US GO ALONG FOR THE RIDE.... THANKS.....

[@KruseandViews]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@RoadsandRipples]

I’ve been seeing so many videos lately of lifted trucks just like yours tipping over with truck campers. Might want to consider bringing her back down to earth.

[@nansea9954]

Aw man!!! Good luck with it, I keep watching the Host videos while drooling!!!

[@KruseandViews]

Haha!! Thank you so much my friend!! I really appreciate your support!! More HOST videos coming soon!

[@horsetrader1991]

Nice truck!

[@ToadMan9000]

Your set up is insane! That truck is amazing! Dudes got some 💰! I'm in the wrong line of work....

[@KruseandViews]

Haha! Thank you for watching my friend. I'm not rolling in the money but grateful to have been able to afford my dream build. I appreciate you!

[@ToadMan9000]

@@KruseandViews keep kicking ass! Interested in more of your story of recovery to, and where you have come from within that. I'm going to follow along!

[@Fullautoak]

Very cool setup. Congrats. Can you tell me which drop steps are on the truck?

[@free_lance_living]

What step ladder was that at the end??

[@marlonhernandez706]

What kind of wheels are those and where did you get them?

[@terrymcneilly2222]

Spectacular truck and HOUSE! I’m wondering if yo7 could comment on how the gasser is performing for you. I’m on the verge of moving from a 2019 Ram 3500 SRW, to. 5500 with super single conversion. Yours is very inspirational. I’m on my second Cummins and I really love the diesel performance, but this is my first with DEF. I have been very frustrated by the DEF consumption ,it’s wayyy more than one fill up every 7500 miles. I’m getting more like one fill up every 1500-2000. I’m four plus fill-ups and I’m not even to my first oil change yet! So to get to my question. Do you think you could try to show a video demonstrating how the hemi pulls/ shifts, etc? Thank you very much -love the channel and your approach to overkill.

[@KruseandViews]

Thank you so much for the positivity, Terry! This build has been a lot of fun and I am glad I went with the HEMI 6.4 engine. Matched with rtes AISIN transmission it has worked perfectly so far. I will try my best and make a video of the gearing with the truck. Thanks again for your support, I really appreciate you. Nate

[@terrymcneilly2222]

Oh and….one more thing if you don’t mind. You noted that you might find yourself towing a boat as the only other significant load on the truck. Me too! I’d love to see how that works with your set up. Thanks again..

[@misconceptionindustries2968]

Wow! What a wonderful setup! What is your overall height!?

[@WADZUP]

Sooo beautiful. You must smile everytime u look at this rig and camper. Hey what bed tray manufacturer did you select. I can see you remove the stock bed.

[@KruseandViews]

I went with the Knapheide PGNB 9.6 foot aluminum flatbed. It's a great platform to build on. I have the onboard air and air hose connected below the deck.

[@WADZUP]

@@KruseandViews great choice thanks for the reply!

[@KruseandViews]

@@WADZUP for sure! I love what you do with your channel. Hope we can connect soon

[@WADZUP]

@@KruseandViews cheers buddy 🙏 thx

[@jbussey5301]

Dang nice rig man. Who makes those side steps? They're definitely different.

[@treetopflyersofva2]

Awesome! I bet you didn’t sleep the night before you went to get it and I would bet you were up all night when you got it home playing in it.

[@KruseandViews]

Haha, you are exactly correct my friend!!! It’s been a blast camping in this beast!

[@TheWilderWagon]

I’m dying to know what wheels these are. They look so good!

[@KruseandViews]

Buckstop Truckware has all the goods!!

[@nathanurick8320]

Love love love both the truck & camper BUT I bet you wish your truck was a long bed. I’m not sure why so many people drive heavy duty with a short bed.

[@KruseandViews]

the flatbed I have is 9.6 feet long so that's a foot and a half longer than a long bed that you are referring to. But I agree with you.. not sure why people use short beds

[@nathanurick8320]

@@KruseandViews oh wow, watching the video it looks very short.

[@majerstud]

Nate! Congratulations! What an exciting day for you! And that truck and camper make a fantastic looking pairing! You are ready for what seems to be the impending Apocalypse. My Mammoth is being built, and I think I will be able to order my truck this weekend, so the excitement builds! Some observations: 1. Quite the drop for the stairs...do you have a plan for an extended stairway or something? I've seen them on some RV sites... 2. Now I want that cool camper dolly he was wheeling around. 3. Is that TWO Mammoths I see sitting on his lot? That is like seeing two Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) together! Looking forward to other videos!

[@KruseandViews]

Thank You, Brother Tim!!! I am so Happy for you and ordering your Mammoth! You will LOVE IT! No the other camper was a cascade in the video. I can't to see what truck you get!! Keep me posted!

[@joebidden4914]

So your bed is basically a short bed and it can handle the size and weight of the mammoth? I'm sure you have self leveling airbags also correct?

[@KruseandViews]

My flatbed is 9.6 feet long so it's about 3 feet longer than a pickup truck short bed. No airbags as the leaf spring package on the 5500 RAM can handle 11K lbs of payload.

[@joebidden4914]

@@KruseandViews ahh ok I was thinking it was a 3500. So it's a Cab and chasing model? It looks like a short bed wheel base but it's actually a long bed configuration for wheel base?

[@daemocd]

Nice rig and camper. Isn't that truck bed too short for the Host Mammoth?

[@KruseandViews]

No the bed is 9.6 feet long so the Mammoth sits exactly 8 feet on the bed which is the full amount. Thanks

[@daemocd]

@@KruseandViews That is good. But on the video looks like the box on the front of the bed is blocking the camper to go further in and good part of it, hangs in the back and the center of gravity passes the rear wheel giving the impression that the bed is short. Safe travels and congrats for the new toy!

[@KruseandViews]

@@daemocd Great observations. The center of gravity sits right over the rear axle and the silver tank is my 70 gallon auxiliary fuel tank plus my spare tire. Thank you for your kind words my friend!

[@CJ-pi8uf]

Since 4500/5500 are sold with dual rear wheels, did you select any special tire setup for the rear? Does it affect the load you can carry?

[@KruseandViews]

Great question. I had a company called Buckstop Truckware do a single wheel conversion. The tires have a max load capacity of 7,000 LBS so that's more than the dually tires. Check out Buckstop as they have a lot more info on their website about it.

[@ToadMan9000]

Super singles

[@chrismcclary108]

Was the single conversion done in the Carson area or did you drive up to Oregon?

[@ricardojigashi8100]

R. U over. 13.6?

[@unclebuck5051]

That’s alot of truck. What’s the gear ratio in the rearend.

[@KruseandViews]

Yes, I wanted a truck with a payload capacity that I never had to worry about what camper and set up I could put on it. The gears in the truck are 4.44 and they work alright. Thanks for watching!

[@stevemoore5053]

Show how you fasten it down. Do they make small campers for 3/4 flatbeds?

[@KruseandViews]

Hey Steve, I have a video of putting the camper on the truck. Also, check out Hostcampers.com for their entire line up

[@ajrollan5304]

Is this a 4 season camper? Great video

[@KruseandViews]

Yes this camper is a true 4 season. It has R Insulation in the walls.

[@speterbilt]

Top heavy in the wind? How tall?

[@KruseandViews]

Yes, it sits about 13.6 feet high so in high winds it does getting to blowing around a lot. But nothing that the truck can't handle.

[@speterbilt]

@@KruseandViews yeah 13' 6" is legal height. 13' 7" no. Lol

[@KruseandViews]

@@speterbilt 14 feet is legal height in Utah and all western states lol

[@treetopflyersofva2]

Question: Now that you have that monster on your truck, do you know what the total height is of the camper to the ground.

[@KruseandViews]

John, I sit 13.6 feet tall. Just like a semi truck.

[@KruseandViews]

@@vistry2036 13.6 exactly, great guess though!

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

Shouldn’t of you had a long bed for that camper? Also did you have a company do your dually conversion?

[@KruseandViews]

Its a 9.6 foot long bed. That is a foot and a half longer than any long bed on the market with residential trucks. Buckstop Truckware did the single wheel conversion

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

@@KruseandViews wow it just looks like it hangs off so much. Maybe it is just that video that it looks that way. Buckstop truck ware I will have to look them up.

[@KruseandViews]

@@nevysadventuresllc9074 Yeah those boys at Buckstop are top notch. Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it my friend. Hope to see you back soon!

[@lotteryplayer]

That truck bed is to small. Was this just a demonstration?

[@KruseandViews]

9.6 foot by 8 foot flatbed... does great. Thanks for watching

[@code4forlife]

Looks cool. Is your Center of Gravity still forward of Rear Axel?

[@KruseandViews]

Hey there, so my COG is right on the rear axle of the truck. The camper site 8 feet on the bed which when the water tanks are full the COG is right on the axle. Thank you!

[@code4forlife]

@@KruseandViews Thank You 👍

[@Kuromi_lover217]

How to order host mammoth 11.6? I'm here in the Philippines the undisciplined country ha ha ha 😂

[@KruseandViews]

I went through a dealer in Caron City called Truck Accessories. Ask for Kent! Thank you so much for watching!

[@Kuromi_lover217]

Maraming salamat

[@gregorystephens9104]

Congrats on the camper man, how much does that thing weigh, and is that a 4500 ram or a 5500 ram

[@KruseandViews]

Thank you so much, Gregory! My RAM 5500 weight about 10,000 lbs and the camper fully loaded and all tanks full is about 6,000 lbs so total around 16,000. The RAM 5500 GVWR is 19,500 so I am still well within this trucks weight limits.
