36 gallon fuel tank is my favorite thing about the F150.. so much range...

I have a 14 F150 with 5.0 and a grandby (light build about 1000 lbs). I have been constantly impressed with this truck. I bought it brand new and now have almost 80k on it. Its been perfect and the MPG is very solid. 18 mpg overall for life of the truck. With camper I typically get around 16...

Hey all.. Likely going to an F250 soon (mostly for work, the camper is fine in this thing).. thought I would see if anyone is interested before we trade in.. 2014 F150 Supercrew XLT 6.5 Bed, 5.0 liter with 78k. Original owner! Upgrades for camper -- eyebolts with backing plates in bed of...

I will take them.. billkaeding@yahoo.com is my email... and we can venmo, paypal or whatever works for you..

Hey all I also did my roof on an old Grandby (80's).. Roof was rough, good amount of spidering.. Its been 2 years. I used Gaco Roof which is a silicone based roll on product used on Flat Roofs (I am a roofing contractor). When applied to manufacturers recommendations on a roof it comes with...

hmmm.. it was clearly labeled a Fleet with big bold letters.. interesting.. it is 7.5 feet long..

Thanks for that info, what year is yours?

So, we got this little Covid19 issue and work is slow.. picked up a mess of a camper to restore.. The badge says 11/13/1983.. I have gutted it, and started to rebuild (its a full on rebuild, only the roof will be original).. It seems really narrow.. Its 69 inches at its widest point.. were...

Does anyone know where to get latches like the ones FWC uses? I see many other styles, but don't want to create new holes? Thanks in Advance...

Looks like just mounted to the roof, no support bars? Does it seem quite solid?

thank you.. no price or ordering info, did you just call?

thanks JHanson... which brand did you go with?

Do you have any pics?

Any pics of your setup?

I wondered about that, but.. I have a silicone roof coating on my roof as it was in bad shape and wonder if it will stick to that?

Hey all.. I would like to add a roof top solar panel to an old granby (so clearly no wiring).. 1. Best wan to attach to roof? Screw directly into metal supports? how many are necessary? 2. How to cut hole in roof to run wiring and not destroy headliner? Any/All suggestions welcome! Thanks...

Completely agree.. its a 10 year old truck, sure the miles are low, but its a 10 year old truck.. with an engine know for issues.. I would say, go find a truck (never been a better time to buy if you are in a good position).. and then go find a camper, lots for sale right now in comparison to...

Kelly Blue Book has that truck for private party at 17k-21k..without the upgrades (which essentially are downgrades)... I think the price is very high considering my 14 F150 is around the same with 78k, 6.5 bed XLT and 5.0 motor (5.4 is a known problem).. even if it was worth 17k, which it is...

Personally, I wouldn't want to deal with a truck with a 6 inch lift.. its simply overkill.. So many things to consider there, did they change gearing to accommodate the bigger tires.. What type of MPG would a truck like that get? Hopefully you would never have to unload the camper because I am...

I don't think 80's camper had a cab over that big, mine is certainly much shorter... either way.. cool project, looking good

so.. did previous owner shorten the back, yet extend the cab over section so that the same roof could be used? genius...

lots of good advice here.. I think the simple way to look at it is.. are you looking to travel light? if so, go 1/2 ton.. If you want to travel with a really fully loaded hawk, go 3/4 ton.. We built a Grandby from the frame to be as light as possible.. 900 ish lbs.. When loaded for a month...

I don't disagree with you.. I hate having to park in a city.. I bought a 2008 prius last year so i didn't have to drive my truck everywhere.. so nice.. anyhow.. difference is length of trucks varies obviously, my double cab 6.5 f150 is 243.7 (F150's have large cabs..)...

good points.. however.. a supercab with an 8 foot bed is roughly the same length as a double cab 6.5 bed.. I totally agree about a shell and build out how you want to maximize space. We have an old Grandby build from the frame that we gutted and left as much of an open concept as your could...
