super cool Keith - thanks! Do you happen to remember where you camped (on that map) ? cheers J.

Yosemite area camping end March - too snowy? campsite recommendations? any other tips? Hi all - title say it all We are thinking of going to Yosemite and area end of March. Camping in a 4x4 pop up truck camper that does have propane heat. (so one self contained 20’ vehicle) I know the...

and now in 2018... the interior Silver Spur option is $750 .... (was $500 in Jan 2015) is it really just some paint? Ouch. :blink:

Looks like something like this might work well in a Grandby? How to Build an Indoor Portable Van Shower http://livelikepete.com/how-to-build-an-indoor-van-shower/ the small size ($28) is 32” around - too big for a Grandby?

Thanks for the thoughts... we always have other utility 'jugs' of water, plus a case of big water bottles, so we always have plenty of water. plus we do very short 'submarine' showers (mostly off, except for rinsing) often we are nowhere near a YMCA or campground... nice to have a quick...

FWC *indoor* shower owners: how is it? Likes / Dislikes? Hi all We are looking at a Granby slide in. (or similar ATC) We’d be using a PortAPotty, so we dont need or want a walled toilet / shower area. Sometimes it would be more convenient to have a quick indoor shower rather than...

Can you (or anyone) comment as to why the FWC interior shower is a nightmare? Thx.

seems like an odd choice to bypass either ATC or FWV (who are both clearly experts) and instead go with someone who is far less experienced..... the results are (in my mind) almost guaranteed to be a little or a lot inferior. add up the likely time (and cost) of teaching / mopping up...

Been having fun doing all this research. Thanks everyone for all the great info! So a couple things I am wondering about…. -—> Is the GVWR only a sticker - that relates to a statement for commercial trucking that it’ll never carry more? and nothing else is different about the truck? I...

thanks for all the great info everyone. :-) I figured out that to get the 2 front seats with the center console, it seems that you have to get the XLT trim. getting the XLT trim with a few various nice things... adds $5,000. part of that $5,000 is about $1,000 for the front seat center...

? for F 250 owners - options mods etc on custom ordered 2019 or 2020 Hi all Considering buying a custom ordered Ford F-250. Gasser for sure. Advantages are: with Super Crew I can still get an 8’ bed. Better for an 8’ custom built ATC Cougar camper. The camper would stay on 99% of the time...

My experience was pretty dramatic when I upgraded from a flooded to an AGM The AGM would take a charge from solar much much faster and would just generally behave much better. Exact same wires, controller, etc. Did a bunch of research and I ended up buying a LifeLine AGM. It was fantastic.

Hi there Penner Thanks for the info. :) so.... Ford F 150 Payload 2019 https://www.ford.com/services/assets/Brochure?make=Ford&model=F-150&year=2019 - see page 34 of 35 We would custom order the 3.5 Eco boost 4x4 SuperCrew 156.8 WheelBase 7,850 GVWR model The Heavy-Duty Payload Package...

bump to an old thread... ten years later. :) Is Ben still working at ATC? Just curious. I see his name above. and.... I spoke with Marty today and I got the impression that he and ATC were continually working to improve materials and design. Marty seemed very passionate about ATC, and he...

I have been doing a lot of research about this ATC vs FWC question, and so far your thoughts seem to be held by many. ;)

Thanks Wandering Sagebrush and Out To Lunch for the great info. Much appreciated!! Anyone else wanna chime in?

What fridge? Instant shower? Cougar vs Puma? R6 in floor? Hi all Just spoke with Marty at All Terrain Campers and he was nice, and helpful. For us he recommended a Cougar or Puma, but not with the dinette, but with the side couch instead, for more storage space below, and the most floor...

I don't doubt what you say... but could you provide some examples? just curious thanks. :-)

to the best of my knowledge - if you custom order the F150, with "increased payload capacity" option.... for example - the 4x4 SuperCrew, 156.8” (longer) WheelBase, with Heavy-Duty Payload Package and 18" wheels .... payload is 2,690 LBS According to Ford website. the specs brochure for...

Great info on this thread... thanks! am considering a Caribou Lite 8. Bob (Outfitter) just mentioned that they'd do the extended bed (king) over the cab with no moving parts. Sounds better to me than a slider. John

Super helpful info - thanks klahanie! :-)

I had no idea a flatbed cost so much. Ouch. :-(

Holy cow DirtyDog that flat bed ATC camper looks amazing! May I ask - what is the “tug”? Ford something? And What flat bed make and model did you use? Thanks. John in Los Angeles

I know it is 11 years later... ;-) But does ATC ever do those promos these days? I have heard many good things about ATC thanks. :-) John

Thanks - very helpful. Yeah I had heard exactly that about the Eco Boost.... and as the FWC would be on the back the whole time.... mileage would drop. Is the 5.0 V8 a tried and true engine? The only good thing about going with the F150 SuperCrew is that there is a LOT of space in the 2nd...
