Great thread, one of my dreams for my FWC. I have been thinking about converting my truck to a flatbed. A couple of options come to mind: 1. Use a wood deck on the flatbed and be able to remove the center boards so the camper will sit down at the original height in between the wheels. That...

Great pics and write up. Romero's is a must stop if ya like Mexican food, I always make a point to stop there for a lunch when I'm wandering the San Juans.

I agree that it's probably here to stay - but I see it being sold as a subscription service in the not so distant future. Get a high percentage of the population comfortable, even dependant, with it, then create the secondary profit center. I paid a few hundred bucks for my TomTom about 5...

Having said all that I would still love to know how to turn my iBook into a real time GPS. In simple easy (for me an idiot) to understand language. Y'know a big screen regular GPS like a Nuvi or TomTom. Every time I look into it I get some techy (no offense intended) explaining about a new...

Swath, We have a guy in our 4x4 club who's a Sami nut. Both him and his wife have one. They're both set up well for off road and I've been impressed by what they can do. I broke a drive shaft at TDS this year and got towed back to camp by a Sami. How embarrassing was that? I can no longer kid...

Getting ready here, no time for a long post, sorry. Love the camper/truck/sami combo. Although fragile little beasts, those samis go anywhere... Had one years ago. Lots of fun. Working out great so far, I have not found the Sami to be fragile and I have pushed it a bit for a couple of years...

Wow, fantastic..... Thanks for the link.

Heck, I have spent a lot of time wandering here and there on foot, horseback, dirt bikes, and 4WDs. In days past we carried only paper road maps, topos, and a compass, nothing else was available. I have always found my way back or I guess I wouldn't be typing this. I have gotten a little...

Yeah, gary and monika are hard to keep up with. Must be nice having corporate sponsors:rolleyes: Nice rig and truck. Towing my Jeep was a major consideration when i got my fwc. I do my share of trail fixes on the camper, I just usually don't mention them :) Biggest I"ve run into so far is...

I just bought a Fleet Model, not sure of the year. I have parts from an old pop up camper my brother gave me. Is it possible to hook the inverter from the pop up into my FWC and be able to use shore power at the house or on the rare occasions I camp somewhere civilized? The furnace fan, two...

Thanks for the welcome fellers. My son-in-law spent some time campin with me in Utah last month. He started counting up all the red neck repairs I have done to the camper, I guess he was bored. Hey, they function, wha-da-ya want for a 20 something year old camper. 1. A screw down latch...

Looks like I should have shrunk some of those pictures down a little. Colorado Campin:

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for the pics of your hard-working rig. Someone is sure to want to know about how those external tie-downs have worked out, so I'll ask for them;) The tiedowns work fine, I don't do hard core trails with this thing although that was my original intent. I used angle...

I'm not new to the camper, just this forum. I have an 80 Grandby I have been camping in for 10 years or so. It's mounted in my 84 F-250. I just now found this forum and love all the tips I'm finding. I'll post up some pics, the the truck and camper are a little rough looking but they do get...
