Tow package includes transmission cooling system.

I haven't made an accurate measurement of my mileage yet, but I know I'm getting better mileage with my F150 & camper than I get with my Jeep Cherokee with no load (the Cherokee is ALWAYS 4X4). I'm guessing around 18 MPG. I'm not afraid to use OD at highway speeds on even grade. This summer I'll...

My F150 is 2006.

My FWC dealer actually advised against a 3/4 ton truck because of poorer gas mileage. I put my new Grandby on a Ford F150 ext cab 8 foot box 5.4 liter V8 tow package. Truck came with E series tires. I put two load bearing shocks on the back (the kind with the springs). No noticeable sag with...

I opted for an external solar panel because I'm afraid that a hailstorm could wipe out my investment.

Yes, but my spending is out of control. Every time I think I'm getting close to having everything I need/want, I see something else on this forum I can't live without.

My new solar panel arrived today. Zamp 200W external panel with controller. The controller comes wired with the male SAE plug so it plugs right in to the female plug on the rear wall of my Grandby. Smart controller runs itself - just choose your battery type and go. The default setting is AGM. I...

Another option I would have been willing to pay for is a camper cover sized to fit ones particular model. I found a company that will make one to order, but for the price they charge I could practically build a garage.

A gig wagon. As a performing musician, I can haul my gear in my truck and use the camper to chill out before the gig and during breaks. Also a place to entertain adoring babes.

The small seat section and the center seat belt assembly should both go back in without too much trouble. I suggest that you replace the impact wrench bolts with hex head bolts as they are easier to remove and reinstall. If you actually removed the seat belts themselves from the side walls that...

Comics are too bulky. I have 40 years of Spider-Man and 44 years of Fantastic Four on CD ROM.

Wind deflectors on the truck cab are reported to increase mpg and make the ride smoother. I see a few different companies make such deflectors and some folks make their own. I don't want to burden my tool savvy friends to build me one, they do so much for me already. I'd like to see some...

The Fantastic Fan is reversible, and it is so quiet you won't know it's on. The fan has two speeds. It is very powerful. Many folks like the fan over the bed for sleeping in hot weather. I opted to place it in the rear because I spend more time out of bed than in it. Fans in both front and rear...

Is being so rigid that you send prospective customers to the competition a good business model? With a modicum of effort they could increase their customer base significantly. If the FWC product suited everyone out of the gate there wouldn't be so many folks on this forum modifying theirs. Why...

Here are some options I would like to have seen offered by FWC when I bought my 2014 Grandby: A choice of colors/patterns for the Formica counter tops I don’t know what possessed the folks at FWC to assume that everybody would fall in love with that god-awful dark gray/brown sponge granite...

Re: privacy window shades/blinds The curtains that came with my Grandby won't do the job. Some of the products I've seen online are a little pricey. I am curious what solutions others have come up with to cover the camper windows for privacy. Thanks.

My mirror is a bit warped which gives it somewhat of a funhouse mirror effect. This makes me suspect that it may be plastic. Does anyone know for certain whether it is plastic or glass?

I don't need the mirror that is mounted on the back lift panel on my Grandby. It looks like it can be pried off, but I don't want to damage the surface underneath it. Any suggestions for how to remove it? Thanks.

Mineral oil would just make a mess of my cutting board: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00453OMYI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The hinged doors for turnbuckle access on my new Grandby are SPRING LOADED. It takes some small force to open them. This makes the camper mouse proof...

I bought a Ford F150 extended cab long box specifically for my FWC Grandby. I want to use the back seat area for storage, so I got two maintenance guys to help me remove the back seat (which means that I watched while they did all the work). Both guys are real tool experts and one is an...

I chose the "rear solar plug only" option for my Grandby. FWC currently offers Zamp solar panels & controllers as an option, but you can get a 200 Watt Zamp for about the same price that FWC charges for an 85 Watt panel...

This product appeals to me - vinyl RV blackout roller shades. Absolutely opaque - blocks all light inside or out. Made to order in a variety of colors. Brackets go onto walls with screws - I don't know how thick the paneling is in my Grandby. Any opinions on this before I shell out the cash...

Check out this RealTree accent rug. At 29" X 18" it's a great fit for the area just inside the door of my Grandby: http://www.houzz.com/photos/8824125/Real-Tree-Ap-Accent-Rug-29x18-craftsman-rugs

My new FWC Grandby was installed in September. The cold weather pack was on backorder and was shipped to me some weeks later. It arrived without any installation instructions. I see that my Grandby has Velcro along the sides of the interior, but no Velcro on the front or back. I am not certain...
