$100,000 Host Campers
We custom ordered our 2023 Everest through these guys but our cost was no way near what they are asking for the two listed on their website.
We came from a Grand Design TT and occasionally look at them and noticed an increase in price there too. I guess I shouldn’t be too shocked at the higher camper price. Just glad we got ours when we did.

Ahhh... effects of both inflation and inflated pricing.
Inflation in ALL countries the world over has made the cost of materials+labor more expensive.
Then we have the pandemic to thank for the inflated prices from when people could not toss large sums of $$$ at planes, hotels and resorts they found RV's and campgrounds to toss their money at. RV's AND campground reservations became hard to find and prices skyrocketed!

I think I would get the laundry option on the mammoth. It's just me and wife with little dog and two cats. But, unless they take a three person out of state check it aint happening!!!

Inflation (a thief that comes in the middle of the night…) is at it’s highest level in over 40 yrs…

Inflation is one of the obstructions keeping me from retirement. At least I bought my camper and truck before the craziness started.

I remember about 15 years ago starting a thread called:
The First $50,000 Truck Camper.
It was a Host.

IMO there's no such thing as a $100,000 TC.
I could buy a nice RV with a steering wheel and an engine for that price!! ![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/cool.gif "cool")

It's ridiculous what the market will bear nowadays. We bought our 2020 Cascade and 2020 Chevy 3500 both new for not a whole lot more than just the camper goes for 3 years later. Speedway says they can't keep them on the lot.

There were three on the lot when we picked ours up. Ours included. Someone else was picking up their’s and the other was for someone coming from the east coast.
When we ordered our’s we were told to go with Speedway and we would get it in 6 months ( picked it up in 7 ). If we went with another dealer in Portland one year wait.
