One side fits two people the other just one due to the bathroom entrance (see pictures). Fuso has reprogramed the transmission to start in first gear each time.

Outside storage

Here are some pictures of the outside storage compartments on the Fuso. The rear compartment is quite large.

Please comment about your experience using the double slide. Is the interior usable with the slides closed? Any problem deploying the slides when you're not on level ground? Thanks.

Please comment about your experience using the double slide. Is the interior usable with the slides closed? Any problem deploying the slides when you're not on level ground? Thanks.

The double slides give the camper an amazing amount of interior space when open. Host uses significantly beefier slide mechanisms than other manufacturers. The metal is thicker and completely wraps around the slide mechanism making a jump out of the track practically impossible. We never experienced any trouble opening or closing the slides when off road camping, including not so level spots.

The down side of all that space is that stealth camping is not possible. You could, in a pinch stealth sleep as the most of the mattress is available when the slides are closed. You lose about 18" of the foot of the bed under the wardrobe. The kitchen and bathroom are not usable with the slides closed. The slides take about 10 seconds to open so road side stops for lunch or bathroom breaks are easy if you open the slides.

I have sketched the floor plan with the slides open and closed as shown below to try to illustrate why it is unusable when closed. Please let me know if it is not clear.

Outback and a dog

Traveling with a dog in the Outback is very easy. We have a 60lb wired hair pointer. She would lay on the bed near the pass through when we were driving. She could see out the front window and see us as well.

When camped, the area under the wardrobe was available for her bed. It was not on the floor where you walk so she could easily be out of the way but still part of the goings on.

If this ends up being a double post, sorry.

If you are looking at a Fuso/Host combo, you really need to see this one. I have seen it, and Dean has represented it very honestly.
I have no skin in the game here, just confirming a nice rig. Take a look, you will not be disappointed.

interior height

The interior height of the camper is 6' 4.5". The LED lights take some of that away. So clearance everywhere is 6' 3".

Very easy to misjudge the housing market especially in Jackson. Awsome rig and GLWS. Go grab a beer from Tofte @ tie me up for me!

Beautiful truck! What does the truck weigh now that it is finished? Do you have any idea the camper weight?

Thanks.

The GVWR on the Fuso is 14,050 lbs. With the camper fully loaded (full fuel, water, two people, a dog and all camping supplies, food etc) it weighs about 12,900. I think Fuso lists the chassis weight at right around 6,000 lbs. If so, the loaded camper weight minus the diesel fuel,people and dog would be about 5,950 lbs.

Can I come over and drool at this thing? I'll bring pizza from work...

I'm waiting for the day our landlord calls and says our condo is being sold... This market is insane but at least we're lucky to live in Jackson right now.

Come visit an American icon and buy a awesome camper

Now is a great time to plan your visit to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. Fly into Jackson, buy the camper and start an epic journey in style. Or just come look at the camper and enjoy the parks. The days are getting warm and the nights are still cool!
