We finished up the order on friday and I called this am to confirm. D&H then sent it off to the factory. I think it might be awhile but who knows. My wife really like the bathroom setup in the cascade. Looking forward to it.

I ended up buying a AI-2200 at sams for 399$. it runs the fireplace or the AC just fine. But not at the same time. Not sure how much it will get used, but I'm glad to have it. It has a screw I can loosen and drain the gas from the carb, I like that for when it won't get used for awhile. Went to the Hershey car show for a week but I took the coach there and camped at the show. We do that every year and had a great time.

No, I did not order one with it and I don't want a built in one. I did check to see if the AC would run with a Honda 2K(belongs to a buddy). It worked fine. Prob go that route.

If you plan for an onboard gen, get the Onan Cummins 2500i inverter model

Just got back from 4 day trip. Everything is good. Ran furnace a bit. I only have 1 12volt battery in it right now and I was shocked at how long it lasted. We didn't move except to leave on Sunday. I don't have a genset yet, but I'm looking for one to power the AC. Also watched 1 movie, that was all good.

Thanks to Bedlam for getting pics posted.

My truck and camper came in the same week. D&H needed a couple weeks to squeeze me in and I needed the time to get a bed on it, so it worked out. I really do recommend the kelderman system. I got it front and rear and not only does it ride great but I can level the camper from inside with my phone app.

Great to hear! I am really considering this mod. Thanks :C

Now I just need RAM to build and deliver my 2022 5500 60" CA so I can start modding it for my upcoming Host Everest delivery. Fingers crossed I have the truck by November.

zb39, how is the Kelderman air suspension upgrade after using it for some time now? Any concerns or issues to be aware of for those considering it? Would you do it again given the cost?

zb39, what is your new cascade weigh loaded ready to camp? I know that it is a non issue for you with your weight carring capacity. I feel like I will be ok with my 350. It's gonna be close. Barry

Zb39, really great to hear you are liking your Cascade. You give me more confidence that we are making the right decision trading for the Cascade. Keep enjoying and shoot us a picture or two of your new camper. Barry

Update. We have a couple weeks in the cascade. Love it. Came with inverter built in. (1K) for TV in LR and BR. I have ordered one with polk sound bar etc to mount in LR.. Love the camper, even more than the mammoth. We just feel this floor plan is better for us. It also seems bigger, weird I know but it does.
Host builds a great product with any of there floor plans. truck has been awesome. Loaded or not it rides great.
