Hi David- Well of course I want it all from my camper ^_^ ! Is that too much to ask haha I do a camping from four wheeling in southern Utah, fishing in northern Canada (where I park for a week or more), bird hunting, to quick overnighters around Montana. Look forward to more and longer...

Hey Cory-sent you a message

Thanks for all the input everyone! I'm getting ready to have cushions made and got to wondering what couch dimensions are the various couches out there, e.g. roll-overs, and other styles? I am thinking 55" x 20" for the seat and the same for the back.

^_^ Yeah, thought I would try to leave the front open, put some non-slip something on the floor and secure with bungies or "keeper slats" or something. I would have two or three "bulkheads" that support the couch seat. I had the top loader in my old camper and it was a PITA getting stuff in and...

Thanks David, nice to meet you. I am interested in your thoughts on dealing with carpet unraveling...

Thanks for your thoughts, Larry. Good point on the ventilation, I will have to make sure the Engel is not too close to the upright supporting the counter. I may even use 1x2s instead of plywood for the upright, or cut an air port in the plywood upright to facilitate airflow next to the Engel...

To make a guest bed or stealth mode bed in the front I could also move the crates to the couch top, and use the back cushion (“Cushion B”) and another cushion that I would make (“Cushion C”-22 x 20). I thought long and hard about this whole couch dealio. Pros: Less wasted space and aisle...

View from door Looking towards door, showing furnace and propane cabinets. I used Excel to “draft” up the floor plan. I made a bunch of shapes to simulate the stuff I will be packing into the camper. I can drag them around on the spreadsheet to try them in different spots. Driver’s...

Hello Y’all! Long-time lurker and occasional poster. I have always enjoyed reading the posts, learning, and getting ideas. I had an older (circa 1999) Grandby Shell that I loved but traded it in on a brand new 2019 Grandby Shell. It is sitting on my 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500. So excited! I...

Late 90's, I am not the original owner, FWC says it probably needs a rebuild but cannot give an estimate until they see it. The driver side siding is loose as well, so FWC thinks the frame is cracked. But the bottom wood seems to be moving more than the upper frame, because there has been no...

Hi all, It looks like the wooden bottom of my Grandby (shell) is coming out of square. See photos of the forward part of the wooden frame. This has been happening for a few years, but is getting worse. Anyone have experience with this? Is a rebuild in my future? Thanks!

Thinking of getting a used Hallmark for my first camper. For those of you who own one-are you happy with it? Pros, cons, regrets? How about construction type? My research indicates that pre-2006 are Fylon with wood, post-2006 are composite, and post 2008 have the new carbon fiber roof...

Hey guys, thanks for largely validating the big plan! Now I have no choice but to implement. ;) Just have to sell some stuff, free up some cash, and locate the camper and trucks.

Greetings all, I'm a long-time lurker and first-time poster. Great forums here. B) I'm plotting, schemeing, and planning--looking for ideas from the masters on the site here! So, I have an 2004 GMC 1500, no camper. I want a FWC or ATC. Whaddya think of this plan? Sell the GMC and get...
