My thoughts and experience exactly mirror Wicked1 thoughts. We are extremely happy with our Fleet flatbed on our diesel Chevy Colorado. It is the prefect setup for trails. I would suggest the flatbed is quite easy to remove. Though we only take it off about twice a year for significant...

Hello WildWalderland, Welcome. So I am the happy owner of a '17 Colorado Z71 Crew diesel. I have a FWC Fleet flatbed model. A bit heavier of a camper for sure, but realistically pretty close assuming you aren't getting a "shell model". Got the setup in Dec/January and have had plenty of time...

I'd say you're crazy if you don't look into a Chevy Colorado with the miniDurmax diesel. We downsized from a full-size 3/4 truck. Tested the Tacoma with a Fleet and knew immediately that the mini-diesel Chevy was the way to go. Just a much better platform for hauling a camper. Couldn't be...

Agree, looks like a rebranded Victron. I have the Victron controller in my Fleet flatbed and love it. Their app is awesome. All the info I need and then some, but easy to use. I have a new Zamp controller in another camper and it is a POS compared to the Victron. Zamp is not even in the same...

CamperCamper, thanks a ton for the photos and the spec drawing. Your build thread has been most helpful to me too. Cheers

Durango, Nice rig, for sure. Congrats! And thanks for the input on the plates welded to the underside. That's what I am thinking would be a great way to reinforce and simplify the setup. I will probably use a thicker plate than 1/4 though, in order to be welded to the flatbed it will need to be...

Yes, I do plan to remove the camper a several times a year. I recognize the flatbed FWC is not going to be as quick an easy as my slide-in camper with Torklift Fastguns has been. But yeah, a couple times a year I'll need my truck to be, a truck. Be nice to not have to recruit The Wife each time.

Thanks for the input guys. Yes, no doubt there would need to be significant reinforcement or a helicoil or other means to ensure the threading would be adequate. But as far as the concept goes...bolting directly into the bed seems cleaner, right? Is anyone out there already doing it this way...

A question for you flatbed owners. How exactly is your flatbed integrated to the mounting of the FWC? I am in the process of having a custom flatbed made. The flatbed fabricator is working off of drawings provided by FWC. I am assuming that I want the bed drilled and tapped to accept a bolt...
