The list looks almost complete Hi Stan and Ben, the list looks almost complete, but I think to assure that you covered really every single detail you would have to put both campers side by side. One detail I am missing on this list are the prices. I put a few months ago a price comparison...

Laptop is the way to go 2 I'm using above stand for more than a year now without any problems. The laptop is attached with Velcro to the base. The disadvantages of this system are: - Visibility of the laptop might attract thieves (the broken window would be more expensive than the old laptop)...

Laptop is the way to go I'm using an old Laptop for navigation with Delorme Street Atlas and GPS. The same Laptop is connected to the trucks stereo for entertainment. The kids love to watch their movies on long trips with with good sound. I bought the laptop stand on eBay, but it's parts are...

Still not satisfied I'm sorry to say, but I am still not satisfied. I accept Bens position that the integrity of the floor structure is crucial for the overall durability of the camper. So, what about using this space for the water tank? Instead of a custom made tank I would imagine a couple...

Is there space for an Engel Fridge? I see on the pictures that you have a cooler under the couch. What size is it? Would this space be large enough to store an Engel fridge? I really like this design, very simple and easy to maintain. I would gladly volunteer to try out Ben's version if he...

You are right, the picture I used is from the FWC site. Now that I got the real and correct picture it is easier to show the space. Even if this space is only a few inches wide, it should be enough to store some small stuff, or even a water bag with a few gallons. Some info about water bags...

Hi brett13, I think we had both the same idea, at the same time. My post "additional storage space" is exactly about the same area of the truck. My idea is to make it accessible from the inside. Let's see what we can come up with in the next few days.

I already mentioned that I still have to wait a few more weeks for my Bobcat, right? As I will use this camper with two adults and two children, every little bit of storage space will be used. One area that has me thinking is the space between the outer wall underneath the seat / bench and the...

Now that I placed the order for a Bobcat, mailed the check and spent countless hours thinking of all the little details I want to do and install in the camper, it occurred to me that I also have to prepare the truck. FWC has some pictures of the eye bolts in the truck bed to attach the turn...

Dear Brian-- (or anyone else, for that matter) Edna, my Mexican gal, is terrified of going deep into Mexico. She's afraid los banditos will kill us for our watches! Clearly, they haven't kilt yous yet. :rolleyes: Any words of encouragement you might offer would be much appreciated; I'd love...

Geeze Brian where haven't you been? Great pix. Speaking of hurricane Dean Pam and I have a small inteterst in a biz in Cozumel that has been blown out twice and here we go again. Its a bar next to a dive shop near the cruise ship dock and additional retail space on the other side of the...

Power consumtion 12V fridge Hi kcowyo, I was also looking at the Waeco fridges and I assume that they might fit into the space of the ice box. What I am concerned about is the power draw of these fridges. I have no idea how much they use or how long they would run from the battery. My ideal...

Now you got me confused! Not really. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understood the $0.75 per mile is to bring the camper to Florida, and then to get your truck back to California. I guess I didn't put that clear enough on the last post. It wouldn't make sense otherwise, only if you...

What solar panels do FWC and ATC use Does anybody know what solar panels ATC and FWC use? What's the brand and model?

Why not to choose ATC I guess the title is a little misleading ;) and I can't see any reason not to choose an ATC. The price issue aside and assuming that the quality is the same, there are a few reasons why I chose (got that right, I ordered my Bobcat a few days ago) ATC over FWC: - Ben is...

I still don't have my camper, but I do compare the prices I was just doing a price comparison a few weeks ago between the ATC and FWC. The result is an Excel Sheet, that I just can't upload to this site. But you can still see it here...

I'm about to order a ATC/FWC in the next few weeks, one of the things I would like to have is an Engel (http://www.i-m-d.com/engel/Engel45main.htm) or ARB fridge installed instead of the regular one. Did anybody do that before? Is it possible as an option from one of the manufacturers? I was...

Isn't there a way to access the space between the truck bed and the camper? Maybe cut some access hatches underneath the seat / bench? I don't know the structure of the bottom part of the campers, but I know that there is quite some space there. Maybe somebody from ATC / FWC could let us know...

Please let me know I just delivered a camper to a customer who lives in GA. That would be the closest customer that I have to you. If you would like to talk to him, just let me know. Hi Ben, I am definitely interested in contacting this customer. Please send me his contact info, or ask him to...

Stock suspension cabezon, Thanks for the details on your air bag problems. I will be very careful installing them on my Tacoma when I get around to it. Did you add a leaf to your springs or are they stock? My suspension is still stock and usually works pretty good with the air bags. In the...

resize pictures There is a pretty easy way to resize pictures, at least if you use Win XP. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Download "Image Resizer" and install it. With this you only have to right click the picture (don't open it!), choose...

Baby Crib on top of the fridge This is a picture of the baby crib I installed on top of the fridge. The camper is my old Sun-Lite camper. The bottom part, 1/2" ply board is held in place with velcro. The screen is stapled to the ply on the bottom, the top is held by cup hooks to the ceiling...

wow....busted the airbags! what brand? how did they break? Bolts give? I got the Air-Lift Ride Control. They are very simple and easy to mount, even the quality is great. But I should have followed the installation manual and mount the bump stop extensions. I just thought that they limit...

I'm new here so I might be confused. But are there no ATC/FWC on the east coast? Maybe I am in the wrong site and should search for Wander the East? I had a Sun-Lite camper for a few months, took it to Canada for a family vacation, and we had a great time. But 980lbs of dry weight is a little...
