I think it would be better marketing to let us know whats planned. May be they worry about hurting present sales? Aren't they built to order? Probably not a big inventory of new campers waiting to be bought. If that's the case then new models would just be another choice to decide on. On...

Not only is it ugly...it is butt ugly and the only practical use I can imagine is for 1 person to sleep in at rest stops on multi-day trips to somewhere. There is not enough room for a hunter or a fisherman and their gear. I have a mid nineties Ranger II on a 1986 Toyota and I can tell you that...

It's beginning to sound like buying the latest iPad. Something better might be around the corner! Since FWC doesn't put an a/c on top I think after looking at it a cabover would work well for me. But I really like the idea someone mentioned of the Cajita's floorplan combined with a cabover...

I don't think I buy the single guy argument for this thing. I do 99% of my travel alone or with the world's best dog so my equipment choice is for me, not for me and the occasional guest. I would still want the cabover bed. I can't think of any reason not to get it in my situation. Other than...

I had been thinking of buying a teardrop trailer with a FWC shell model to carry supplies. Don't need a cabover for that. But truth is I'd rather not deal with towing, easy as it is, or maintaining tires, tags, etc. But I still would prefer a Cajita version of the Keystone. Plan to spend...

I'm interested in a Six-Pac utility model but see that they're not currently in production. Will the hardside 4Wheel's have a shell model option?

Checking every day! :)

Thanks for the good tips John. The more I look at FWC the more I like them. Google "Stillwell Ranch" for a place near Big Bend National Park that offers primitive camping for $5 a night and that includes a shower. With their store for supplies it's a nice set-up. I can buy 5 acres of desert...

I've been following Oztents in Australia since the late 90's. They're very popular there and have a great reputation for quality and durability. They haven't been in the States that long but I hope they catch on.

Now, it would be interesting to read why you are choosing a teardrop, rather than a small Airstream, a restored Shasta, or other small trailer that is just as easy to tow as a teardrop with better accommodations. I assume you are looking at one of the new teardrops and not a vintage teardrop...

Vantexan, There are as many ways to do what you are planning as there are people doing it. I use to own a large campground near a major city. We had professionals camping with us who lived and worked on the road full time. I am referring to smart people with high paying jobs who had been living...

You might be familiar with these already. If not, I think this is the best tent on the market to back a vehicle up to. It should work pretty well with a FWC considering the door size. And you could really light it up with the floodlights on the back! http://us.oztent.com/ I'm planning to...

Welcome vantexan. I have seen those on full size campers but not on a FWC. One thing you should be aware of - the sub floor of a FWC will not support you if the camper is suspended on jacks. So if you drop it in camp, you will need to set it on the ground or put some type of supports underneath...

Hi, New to the forum. I'm looking at some ideas for retirement travel and have settled on towing a teardrop trailer with a small truck. As I'll be spending time in remote areas I'm thinking the FWC Fleet model would be a great support vehicle for the teardrop. I know you are thinking just use...
