Howdy Sunman I share your sentiments about the boonies but then again we all want our health care providers to show up for work. It is a confusing time and hard to know whats the right thing to do. Social distancing seems very important in the short term and then after that we will see. I...

Hi Klahanie Everything is rightfully upside down just now but I personally have a hankering to head up Island (Vancouver) sometime later in the summer....do you know of any Canadian governmental sites to watch regarding travel alerts? Maybe we will transplant for good....been pondering that...

Hello Dennis Just make a tiny wedge for either or both sides of the slide. Be glad it slides so well...some slides jam up a lot David Graves

This is just my experience but if it is shiny new and clean looking I would say $9500 plus....depending on you location.

Howdy Just look on the small ID label to right of rear door below window....date of manufacture will be there.

With running lights always make sure the camper body is grounded to the truck. I don't know anything about newer truck electrical but the lights on older campers need the camper frame grounded to the truck frame. Hope this helps. David Graves

Howdy It is very easy to strap down and secure items like a shovel etc. under the FWC overhang on each side of your truck bed....towstarps etc fit in the forward trapdoors really well,,,,is your truck an access cab ? Lots of space there. Putting weight at the very rear of your truck can look...

Hello I think many early FWC campers were thru bolted. I would advise that the thru bolting should be aligned with the cross-bed stiffener braces under your truck bed. You might measure the holes locations first and see where they would locate on your truck bed. Remember the camper front...

Howdy I sent a PM.

Hey Sage Hope and I volunteered at a lighthouse on Sand Island in the Lake Superior National Seashore one year and took the two Kleppers. The water and surroundings really are as beautiful as in the video you shared. Have you gotten your Long Haul double wet yet ? David Graves

Howdy I will send you a PM

We volunteered at Organ Pipe for a winter. It was fairly common to see dogs that had gotten a cholla ball.....and then tried to remove it.... think about how a dog would remove a spine from its foot. Kinda hard to watch. David Graves

You really want mostly downward pull and only a little "outward" (front, back or sideways) pull. I don't think you would ever want as much as six inch offset. You are not wanting the turnbuckles to pull the floor pak apart....but instead you are wanting them to pull the floor pak down in a...

Hello Rearward and sideways offset from the camper eye bolt to the truck bed anchor of around 2" or more should be fine for the reat trunbuckles. The fronts should offset forward and to the side. Equally important is to have the truck bed anchors firmly well, anchored... this usually means...

Howdy We have a region in mind and if it is distant (Southwestl, Baja, Newfoundland) we employ freeway mode and typically make about 500 miles a day with early starts, a late afternoon break and driving into the night....to a KNOWN destination....and often a small motel. In the midwest or...

Any 5 ply A or B grade of plywood of 3/4 thickness would be fine...I would primed it and all the edges maybe once or twice and also get several coats of paint on it. As Sage points out marine grade would also serve...marine means it is free of any voids within the ply ...it might have some of...

Hi BBZ Don't even consider using OSB in the wet environment the floorpak will be. Are you simply needing additional height stringers for your camper or are you replacing the floor itself ? Sorry but I am not familiar with your project. David Graves

Stokeme Don't expect to encounter much quiet this time of year in DVNP.....certainly not around the developed areas. You may wish to seek out your desert quiet enroute and while leaving the area. Have a good trip! David Graves

Many thanks Wuck ! David Graves

Howdy You should install front and rear...the fronts are more helpful than rears. Good luck with the project......set a day aside to complete it well.....read thru all the discussion. What screws? Bedding sealant....what weight lifts, how best to secure to camper framing ? etc. etc. David Graves

Hi Jon And you mean it fits an 8 foot bed T100. Not many of them around anymore. I bought your artic pak a few years ago, Regards David Graves

Crumb A barn door ! I knew it ! :) you want a barn door......! Maybe not but anyway... ATC have a better record of building customs than FWC which seem to have a long line of satisfied customers waiting to have their new campers completed. There are a great many utility canopy bodies....with...
