Hey all Looking for an awning, but not overly excited to spend too much.. the Fiamma 45 looks nice but is it really worth the price tag? What do you all recommend? Thanks in advance.

This pic is the same camper (but freshly painted) on a 6.5 bed F150.. you can see platform to make it clear the side rails (which is nice for storage).. That camper was gutted and rebuilt without amenities (just a portable heater and coleman stove).. was about 650-700 lbs..

I had one of those.. great camper and can be built light.. What condition is the roof in? any signs of leaks? weird smells?

I hope so.. seeing as a 2002 is currently listed for 7750.. and a 2009 Eagle was listed for 9500 and sold (maybe for less).. a 2010 Hawk for $3300 was waaaayyyyyy underpriced..

obviously if the seller is happy with that price, great!! and lucky new owner...

Great price, but kind of think seller got screwed..

i want this.. but.. in Denver area.. May head that way next week if it hasn't sold, need to escape the cold for a few days..

That is probably empty.. with a camper, add a little wind and cold...some mountains.. and you probably can go 200 miles.. 36 gallon tank in F150.. easily gets me 500+ miles per tank, with camper..

Without having to redo the canvas it should be a pretty easy build.. I was able to get the floor pack done quick and I am a hack, so with your skills it should go quick. I don't leave mine on much as I need the truck for work.. honestly, after doing it a few times, I can get that thing on and...

I have lots of thoughts..... and opinions I basically got the same thing, but mine was much worse.. once I realized it was a total do over, I just gutted it and built it the way I wanted. Was hoping to keep the ceiling headliner, but it just had a nasty smell, so that had to go but that enabled...

Yes.. I did airbags and Rancho 5000 shocks.. WAY better than stock, can hardly tell the camper is on, doesnt have that side to side sway..

My opinion Find a crappy, beat to **** FWC and rebuild it.. That what I did.. 500 bucks, 80s Grandby.. gutted to frame and built how I wanted.. no furnace, no water tank.. basically a shell with a lower bed option.. We spend 3 weeks in Baja in it.. great camper and super light (900 ish)...

5.0 or Ecoboost? I have the 5.0 in mine and consistently shocked at the MPG with camper on..

Totally Agree!! I hate our disposable world sometimes and love seeing things being brought back to life instead of being dumped... My 80s Granby is sooooo nice now that i restored it.. Everyone that sees it is shocked it is 30+ years old.. but then again the only original part is the roof...

Its the same camper... just didn't do the floor when I should have... Thanks for the advise!

Thanks David.. I am replacing the floor itself.. should have done it when I re-did the whole thing, but didn't really think to do it.. By removing the 3 layers and adding one back I will lose 1.5 inches, I will then add that to my platform and will gain a little bit of storage as well along...

ok.. thats what I was thinking as well... but trying to locate it currently, certainly not a home depot item

So.. my camper (old grandby) came with 3 layers of 3/4 osb.. I think someone added it to add height to it, but not really sure. Anyway, it add a lot of weight. I have decided I am going to remove it and add new floor. Do you suggest OSB or Plywood?

I have a Grandby on a f150.. supercrew 6.5 bed.. We rebuilt from frame to make light (900 ish).. with two adults and two dogs we wanted the extra space coming from a Fleet which felt very cramped..

honestly, probably almost every FWC in Colorado has a dimpled roof. They are pretty thin metal and we just get so much hail its almost inevitable. (I have had 2 and both were dimpled, It purely cosmetic... and like golf balls, it creates better aerodynamics, its a selling point.. ha)

What he said.. hard to get to and therefore when we were there only one other truck camper and thats it.. Little beach restaurant is wonderful, decent snorkeling.. Its just quiet and the 25 miles of dirt to get there definitely keep many away, its pretty rough.. Vic.. have you been to Baja...

Lucky Man... Agua Verde is my favorite...

I have one of those Harbour Freight trailers.. I use it as my camper dolly and it works great! No way would I drive down the road with my camper attached to it... never, nope, no way...

I do it all the time with my Grandby, but.. I have 4 very solid cable jacks, the kind that are used when you only really need 2 and find the balance point.. I put the more stout ones in the front where more of the weight theoretically will be and the others in the back (also pretty stout but not...

Hmm.. I don't get this idea much, especially for 9k.. Its a place to sleep.. but.. nothing else for 9k.. isn't a topper with a rooftop tent about 1/5 of the price?
