Has anyone sourced replacement parts for the Fan-tastic vent fans? I have the 4000 model with a broken plastic face, like in the picture. I don't have the googlejuice to find it myself.

I run mine the exact same way. Been working perfectly for six years now. And its only 10 guage wire to the camper from the truck. Thanks, craig. It's good to hear 10 ga is working for you. I'd rather not mess with 4 or less.

Natjwest, I use nothing more than a Perko marine battery combiner switch in the camper... ... Even more confused now ? Actually I am totally less confused now, you did a great job explaining it and I think I'll do your way. Leaving it in "both" is an idea I hadn't really thought of. But what...

Hi Prof - John (the seller of my FWC) mentioned that "the other one" (apparently, the one you bought) needs more work than mine. Hopefully it isn't too much and you can get out and enjoy it asap. Regarding FWC company help, I can only relate my experience which was amazingly helpful...

Is there any reason not to use the SurePower 1315? I'm going to get solar at some point in the future, so the 1315 would be able to allow current through to the starting batteries instead of the 1314 which only goes from alternator to aux battery. I can't believe how hard it is for me to...

I'm digging up old threads here, but what about this connector? Think 15 amps is enough for current from the alternator to the aux battery...

Are you trying to say you bought his old camper? I wish someone would buy that annoying monstrosity in my driveway. My Grandby is like a nano-camper compared to the 9 ft KIT.

What is this inside shower kit? DLN has a good writeup here: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1162/page__st__30

Thanks, DLN. Here is the link to the Paha Que unit: http://www.pahaque.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PQWO&Product_Code=PS100&Category_Code=tepee

Here is the email I sent to the handyman-mechanic I paid to check out the camper I planned to buy. The list of things I asked him to check below were specific to my camper and not a generic list. This thread is pretty handy for used camper information also. Hi Donnie, here is the list of things...

Just this past week, I bought my FWC Grandby after sorta hunting for a couple months and really hunting for about one month. Unless you're in a weird location (New England, Florida, Alaska) it's my belief that you can buy the camper you want in a couple months' search. Here's how I found mine...

Yeah, pictures of the interior Barko. I want to see your cabinets and dinette mod. Anyone have a link for the stove lighter he mentioned? I couldn't find it.

You made a great buy. It even has the factory roof racks, an awning, and 4 mechanical jacks. I would like find a FWC that fits a Tacoma for that price, and in that kind of condition. Minor trip report here.

I am finally home after a brief but too-long trip to purchase my Grandby camper. I started off in Portland on Thursday Sept 30th at 5:30 AM. The tailgate was off, gear packed, a quick three-day jaunt to central California to pick up the camper, stopping by Bend on the way home for some mountain...

Unless you find something major wrong with the camper, I think you are getting an excellent deal. Can you post a few pics of the Grandby if you make the purchase? Phew! After one shade-tree fuel filter replacement on the road and 16 1/2 hours after I left Portland, I'm parked in the FWC...

Early 1990s - Grandby - $2495 - Newcastle I'm going down to Grass Valley tomorrow to buy it! This is my last day as a non-FWC-owning human.

1982 Four wheel pop up camper - $850 http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/for/1979142741.html

http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/dometic-portable-refrigeratorfreezer/49355 Online only, $560 minus 10% for campingworld members totals $504. Can't beat that with a stick.

I am on it, first in line. Finding a person locally to put eyes on it for me tomorrow, will drive down late this week or weekend to BUY BUY BUY! I called him about 20 minutes after it listed. I go to pick up the Grandby in Grass Valley, CA on Thursday. I'll stop by the FWC factory on Friday to...

Anything wrong with using a cooler initially while you get your bearings on the camper and make a non-rushed design? Actually, yes. I don't need to make the decision of where to mount it or use it, or what to cut up/cut out/modify. I do just need to come back from the pickup trip with a fridge.

i assume you are searching all the CL. What is your search term(s)? I'll write a detailed report on my searching next week. I want to do it properly to help others in the future but I'm too busy now. Thanks so much to natJwest for his dilligent posting. Your turn is next bud!! Sweet, TemTim...

Yeah, that seems the best idea. Also, it will be away from the furnace. Now where can I buy an ARB or Engel or similar "chest" fridge in Sacto area on Friday? Does FWC sell them? They are listed on Engel's website as a dealer. I'd love a Coleman Stirling for cheaper.

My new Grandby (not mine yet, going to get it on Thursday) has an icebox and I want to immediately remedy that. I want to use the same hole for a 12V fridge. Which models fit in there without too much sticking out? I saw this post for the Engel 35, looks like a good fit...

If $6500 is your price range, this looks a good one. If you're in the LA area, it could be yours. Four Wheel Pop-Up Camper, Grandby - $6500 (Arcadia,CA) http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/rvs/1976240334.html

Get on it! Looks like its an early 90s based on the orange sideliner? Looks in good shape for the age. A tad above your stated budget but hopefully you can swing it. I am on it, first in line. Finding a person locally to put eyes on it for me tomorrow, will drive down late this week or...
