Here is a photo before the buildout. As stated in post #1 the Truck now has larger 275/65 R18 E rated tires.

My FWC Manufacturer Statement of Origin lists the shipping weight at 975lbs. It was given to me when my Camper was installed new at FWC Woodland. It has been suggested that this is the weight of the Shell w/o any added options. Just now on the FWC website, I chose all my Camper options (it’s...

Thanks for the added thumbs up. Build quality, ownership quality offers reassurance making a purchase. Do you have half or full barn doors? Could you comment about about your satisfaction & decision choice?

The asking price for the Grandby Camper is $19,750. For my full Truck/Camper Combo, w/Solar, the asking price is $62,000. Legit offers welcome. The truck is not for sale w/o the Camper. The truck is a 2018 Ford F-150 FX4 Lariat w/HD Pkg. The truck mileage at present is 13,900. Original Monroney...

DiP, Appreciate all the feedback. I also wanted a 1/2 ton PU & as light as possible build. I gave up too much maneuverability though, that’s why I am looking to change. With the pandemic, long multi week trips did not work out, the focus now is on shorter trips being more nimble, getting further...

Hey … I’m looking for feedback, or any reviews, of Ovrlnd Campers. They’re built in Arizona. They are a pop-up truck “topper” & start out really bare bones. Several add on options are available. They are closest in style to a FWC Project M, meaning straight walls, interior slide out, not a...

Appreciate the replies. I have really looked around a bit since initial 10/28 post. I came across David’s Post, independently, on Expedition Portal. The vent looked very interesting as I have read several recommends about creating positive pressure. I am also seriously looking at a Super Pacific...

Hello … Looking to dial down from a Grandby to a Tacoma/Project M. Have any current M owners tried to prevent dust intrusion, with success, into their Camper? How was the success achieved? In general, can current owners discuss how dust has affected camping, their gear, their sleeping area? How...

Hello … I am seriously considering selling my (pro build out) Custom Grandby Shell. I will enclose a WTW build thread link. It can be sold stripped down w/o solar, LiFePo4 batteries, Dometic refrigerator, custom Lagun mount & table. The original FWC battery would be included. The exterior shower...

Ha! You could sense where I was angling. Thanks for your help with all my electrical questions. Much appreciated.

My truck is purposely not included in my Camper battery system setup. So, 250A bus bar should be plenty, correct? Probably not pulling more than maybe 30A? Sorry, Need to mention … no inverter, horizontal 55cfx dometic fridge, FWC furnace, FWC internal LED lighting, small 1.3gal/min water pump...

Does anyone use one of these? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RTYGMBD/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2VHGGOHXF24LJ&psc=1 My question … As the V decreases on the BT display, does the battery figurine displayed, with it’s 4 blue horizontal bars, start to incrementally lose the bars, or...

Helpful info from the above two posts is greatly appreciated. Paul, I can see a bus bar would be really useful. Do I need a 600A bar? Would 250A suffice? I do not see my system getting any larger. Looking at these …...

https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=33658 Hey Vic, thanks so much for taking the time to reply. The link above is a good view of my current overall setup. I forgot that the 100Ah negative terminal also contains my...

Timely topic for me. I run a 100Ah & a 50Ah (lfp4), circa 2018, in parallel. They both had individual BT which I loved. Early this year they, the 100 first followed by the 50, both lost BT transmission. The batteries seem fine otherwise, as the charging parameters, which I follow with a...

Back home & my BT apps work with a couple other BT 50Ah commodity batteries I have from different companies. I use them for a powered fishing kayak. So, the apps work elsewhere, just now, not with my StarkPower Camper batteries. I had my wife also download the apps & they do not work either. So...

Back in internet range. I am glad to see other posts about payload with their F-150. I’ll vent here to say if u own a F-150 … it does not mean you are “running things at 90+% of their capacity.” My door sticker payload is 2373lbs. My 2018 Ford brochure (says 2700lbs payload) states my GVWR is...

I have a 2018 Ford F150 with the HDPP. I had to order the truck. I have a custom build out Grandby Shell. I too wanted to travel light. My Shell additions had weight in mind. I love the 3.5L engine with its better gas mileage. That was a big decision factor for the F150. To me the truck has...

Hello … I’ve got 2 StarkPower BT (2018) batteries, 100 Ah & 50 Ah, same generation in parallel, w/Victron Smart 130 controller. It has been a great system so far. I am currently far north CA Redwoods & just getting a bit of internet tonight. Yesterday the 50 Ah BT stopped transmission & one...

Hello … can u offer a quick review of your “Powerfist” single burner stove. Why u chose & overall owner satisfaction? I am starting to look for something similar with a nice platform, good heat control & efficient size. Thanks ahead …

Glad to see your home remained. It must have been a welcome sight. The “silver lining” (that’s probably a reach) was an opportunity to wine & dine with friends. May the devastation not darken your door.

Happy to see you getting out Bill, congrats on using your new rig.
