Thanks. Will do some digging.

Thanks. Guessing this would be easier than upgrading the glass too. Have not found a lot of enthusiasm from glass shops for that so far.

Oh yes. I definitely appreciate the "force" (mass x acceleration) of the cantilevered loads. :) But the notion of potential compromise of the camper frame is a new and interesting thought that might be challenging to approach given that the the frame is concealed. Frankly, the builder, a FWC...

Yes. Have not ruled out nonglass options but the scratch sensitivity in a dirty offroad vehicle was said to be a reason to avoid that. I do know of some applications where they seem to do well though. I am having challenges at getting people interested in engaging in producing a...

Thanks for the above input. At least to start, I'll be ditching the Jerry cans, limiting to two bikes, pulling the ebikes battery (which is about half the bikes weight), and getting a decent piece of glass to replace FWCs fragile one (and have a second one made as a spare if I fail). Beyond...

Need to dig up the discussion on ExPo regarding floating connections as well.

Thanks. Interesting but sorta disconcerting. One observation that would support these last two comments is that I did notice a fairly marked deformity in the now empty window frame after the second window break. It was a divot in the frame that looked like an axe had hit it. I would think...

By the way, although heavy, the rig is not technically "overweight" as the rear axle is 6500# which is within GVWR and tire capacities. Some have disparaged it as such. The suspension mods are to improve performance, not an attempt to compensate for the rig being above spec.

Interested in other owners experience with this setup. I know it is a somewhat unusual application, and it has become clear to me why that is the case. As you can see from the second picture, this rig likes to break the rear window of the camper. This is the second time this has happened to...

Hello. Could you tell me/us what the last photo is showing? Backup camera?

Thanks. That would be nice. I'll get in touch with you later. David

Nice. I'm thinking about a Hallmark Milner on my Dodge Ram. Seems that FWC gets most of the buzz for offroad oriented truck campers It was my impression that those jacks seem obtrusive and might snag something offroad. The link to "Ten Truck Camping Pitfalls: #8: Not removing lift jacks...

Yeah, but some of the "amenites" that we'd like drop off on the Finch (particularly the "self contained" option). Good idea though. I'll see if a special order is possible for a DCLB 4x4 manual. Thanks

Looks very nice. Too bad though that a long bed Taco format seems to be "required" and DCLBs in 4x4 (what alone Manual Trans) are no longer available.
