Yes, the flat lid seems much harder to find and Dometic is the only place that I could get it. Several week/month delivery.

Thanks so much for your advice on the removal! I figured it would take some gentle coaxing to loosen the old hinge due to the sealant. I’ll give it a try when I get a warmer day.My replacement lid took a couple of months to show up and it was free from Dometic. I ordered a spare at my expense...

Thanks Vic. I saw this Video but it doesn’t show how the old lid hinge was removed. I could envision using some gentle heat gun action to help soften the old sealant. I just don’t want to create any leakage problems when I remove the thing and I may end up leaving it as is till warmer weather...

The lifting linkage attachment tabs broke on my Fantastic Fan vent lid and I was able to secure it in the down position by drilling holes in what was left of the tabs and using some zip ties to hold the lid tight to the fan frame. It’s been working but I’d like to install the replacement lid...

I am seeing a slight lifting of the bed of my 2018 F150 aluminum bed on one corner in the front. I currently have FWC installed 2" x 4" x 3/16" aluminum plates as backing. I am thinking of installing 5" wide x 2" high x 0.325" web aluminum channel full width (~58") perpendicular to the bed...

OK, My Tool Kit thread gave me a bunch of great ideas so here is my next question. I have a lifetime of experience in dealing with garbage at a remote family camp (we refer to forest structures as "Camps" in NY). I figure that our FWC garbage management will be similar but the space is much...

Hey Gang, Thanks so much for all of the replies! Tons of great advice which I need it because I tend to over pack and I'm trying to think somewhat in my backpacking mode due to the realities of the weight limitations with my rig. I've had an Inreach for several years and I consider critical...

We are picking up our Grandby in early September and there are going to be tons of things to figure out over the next year or so. This Forum has been great to flatten out the learning curve but I have a few questions that I'll be posting over the next couple of weeks as the Search Function...

Congrats on a wonderful tag. That is a dream hunt for me and I'd love to be able to enjoy a sheep camp in that unit someday. Best of luck to you!

Agreed Stokeme. The Yellow sticker states that: "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXXX Kg or XXXX lbs" No mention of gas or other mechanically necessary fluids

Stokeme, Do you know if the Build Invoice will state the official payload rating? Thanks

Stokeme, That is the configuration that I'll order in XL trim. I'm curious about the final payload on your truck so please post the payload figure from the yellow door sticker when you receive the truck. Will it come with load range E tires? I couldn't figure that out from the Build Tool and...

Hey Rambling, Did you get the F 150 in long bed heavy payload? I'm looking to order such a truck and I was wondering what the door sticker payload would be with the SuperCab and off road package. 2700 lb would be sweet indeed.

Stokeme, Coincidence in our thinking!. Yes, I'll also have to order the truck as they are not usually found on the lot. I believe that I'll be fine if I can get at least 2500 lb of payload. I'm not sure what my preferred optioned truck will weigh so I'm trying to figure out how to calculate...

Thanks for all of the replies and choices like this are always hard. It's hard to know what you want when you haven't really done any of this stuff. I ordered the Grandby today because I like the extra room and a majority of our use will most likely be in fairly tame places. I'll either go...

I have to have my new camper order finalized by Friday 12/15 to get the old pricing. I had settled on a Hawk and was pretty set on an F250 6.9 ft bed but I am having second thoughts and might prefer the Heavy Payload F150 which is only available with an 8 ft bed. I have until Friday to change...

Thanks again for all of the great data and advice. In the end, I ordered the Hawk and have decided on the F250 because I'd like more room on the payload. I really don't like the gas mileage hit but sometimes you can't have you cake and eat it too. There are currently several threads on the...

Thanks for all of the informative replies! This information is invaluable, especially the mileage. I'm a little worried about the 2018 new transmission as it isn't proven yet. It seems like at 2100 lb payload will work out but I worry that I'll want to bring a lot of gear for my hunting...

Newbie here. I'm jumping into the Four Wheel Camper pool and have decided on a Hawk. I had originally thought that I would get a Fleet for my V6 Tacoma (that I love) but I have recently realized that I'll most likely be significantly overweight and I just can't get comfortable with that. I...
