    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2018 FWC Grandby Shell Pro Buildout, *New Lower Price*

    Sounds about right on the weight, I also have a grandly shell with furnace, kind bed and built out benches etc.. it sits at 1250 lbs fully loaded with the exception of water.. For those of you looking, this is a great deal on a great combo.. if you were to price out the truck alone to try to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West $500 to $600 camper fridge?

    I have been using the alpincool cf36 I bought on amazon for $299 for the past 2 years, its been great.. (price has increased quite a bit) I do not have a place to mount one permanently so this is nice as I can move it off the bench when needed, has been efficient and nice to have a little...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Used Hawk, thoughts on fair price?

    Thats seems like a bad idea.. a little dirt just means it being used as directed..

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Used Hawk, thoughts on fair price?

    Seems fair to me.. The vinyl on the exterior seems to always be dirty in my experience. I clean it a few times a year with the 303 stuff recommended but it really never gets perfectly clean on my 2013 Grandby

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Harsh winter Grandby build

    Floor.. I have used a couple different thing.. LVT (luxury vinyl tiles are nice and simple, cheap, and durable) Also used a single sheet of coin rubber flooring which I liked best as it can be removed. A nice carpet mat that you use in the bathroom with the rubberized back on top of that and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Harsh winter Grandby build

    Looking good.. I have rebuilt several, pretty basic.. As for mattress. We have used a 4 inch memory foam topper from amazon ($100 ash) that has worked very well for us.. I use a therma rest under my side for a little extra support as I tend to sleep on my side, but my wife likes it the way it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Best method for shifting/moving camper in the truck bed?

    Once you get it where you like, put shims in to help keep it in place.. I use 2x4s in the front between the camper and the truck bed walls.. and in the back a 2x4 between the camper and the tailgate opening.. works perfect, camper does not move at all...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Has anyone moved from a slide-in to a Project M?

    I just think that if you are a no frills camper and the FWC is more than you need, why not just go for a roof top camper? Probably $10k cheaper? The project M just seems way too expensive for what it is in my opinion..

    Thx.. I have looked at Bowen, just way too much money in my opinion and like a year out... I would rather do my own.. Basic flatbed, add some boxes and call it good..

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Flatbed DIY Help and Discussion

    Hey All Looking to start a conversation about converting our truck into a flatbed for our Grandby.. Mostly for the purposes of having more storage as we like to do longer trips and would be nice to be able to have outside storage. My idea is to get a CM Aluminum Flatbed and then add storage...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Weighed my 2016 F-150 SuperCab XLT 6.5ft bed FX4 with Hawk

    wow.. surprised by these number on fuel efficiency or lack thereof.. We have a Grandby on a 8 foot bed (shell model plus some extras, weighs 1250#) and the 5.0 motor. Colorado to Southern Baja and back last year we averaged just under 16 mpg for the 5000 mile trip.. Regularly get 17-18 when...

    Exactly why I went with a Heavy Duty Payload Package F150.. 2611 lbs.. all the benefits of a 1/2 ton truck with the payload capacity of a 3/4 ton truck (at least close)

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Increasing Battery capacity FWC

    I don't have any experience with Rebel batteries, but you can just add another battery and everything should work fine. The bigger question is do you have enough solar to charge the bigger battery? I have a 200 ah Renogy Lithium and 160 watts of solar. Our usage is pretty minimal (in fact, I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West WTB 2018 or newer Ford F-150 to haul truck camper

    Yes, I think a lot are used as work trucks so keep an eye out for that.. That link is good, but there are some errors in it.. Dealers have no clue what they have making the search difficult for sure, but I was able to find one pretty quickly once I knew I wanted one, in fact dealer I bought...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West WTB 2018 or newer Ford F-150 to haul truck camper

    I don't have any great leads, but thought I would throw this out there. I have a HDPP truck and love it, never have to worry about weight. They are somewhat challenging to find used because used dealers have no clue what they have most of the time. When I was looking I realized that all you...
