Well it could be an exit strategy or it could be they are growing and needed an injection of capital to grow larger. I just hope the bean counters don't cut the quality. This does in my mind explain why they had some of the largest cost increases that I can remember this December and will likely...

The other thing to consider is the doors on the swift and fleet are much narrower and lower in hight then the full size campers. I'm 6.1 and seem to hit my head every time I go in and out of the campers at shows made for the mid size trucks. I Don't have that problem with my grandby. There are a...

Wow amazing work and dedication to restoring the old camper. Look forward to seeing you continue the build. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

I owned a nissan pro-4x Frontier and loved that truck. Was a mtn goat off road. If it is just you, look for a a extended cab and they all come with the long bed. Its only the crew cab you get the super short bed, and wow is it small. The main down side I had with the nissan was the super small...

There are lots of options and routes to take. Sounds like your not getting much of a charge from driving your truck so a lot of us have changed to the blue sea systems acr. ( also happens to be what 4wc adding to new campers now) a lot have also replaced the 10 gauge wire to 8 or even 4 gauge...

Hi Marty, Wondering how the 60 inch bed is working and the rest of the custom ideas you have added on. Have you had much of a chance to take it out and test it?

Any pictures of your build out or rig? Look forward to hearing more about your set-up.

I have had those type of monitors in my past toy hauler and other campers and found them wanting. They never really give you an exact reading as you don't know what could be running at the time to change the voltage. Several of us have added a timetric 2030 rv battery monitor and solved all the...

93-95ish. Never got back to 100 on the trip Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

Lots of good advise and I think the REI class is a great start.

Well just spent 3 days camping by great basin national park and other then my sons broken leg on a four wheeler accident, it was a very fun and the mods have proven to be very sucessfull. With 240 watts of solar my batts were back up to 90% around noon and fridge seemed to have all the power it...

that is a great idea. I haven't had any training since my scouting days. Any idea where to look for them?

Well just got back from a fun weekend of camping in Great Basin National Park, NV. While we had a blast, my six year old crashed into a wood post on a little kids four wheeler and ended up breaking his leg. He had his helmet on and that saved it from being much much worse. Normally I make it a...

I have one of these and overall I would go a different route if I had to again. 1st is it puts off almost no real heat. You have to be very close to it to feel anything at all. 2nd is when it is turned up it makes a "hissing" sound. This is the air going though a small restriction valve and is...

Anytime, hopefully it has been helpful to you. And I enjoy camping but doing it with my family takes it to the next Level. Any other questions feel free to ask. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

I redid my entire stereo/ gps system in my 2011 gmc crew cab. Alipine has a direct fit that really looks great. It has a 9 inch screen and ties into all of the trucks computers so you can keep an eye on all your gauges. Plus uses your stock xm, back up camera and steering wheel controls. They...

The compressor fridges are great and I have one as well. I have two large 6v( golf cart batts) wired to give me 225 amp hour power. But you can really only take them down to 50% by rule of thumb before damaging them so that really means I have 112 amp hour that is useable. On average with...

What type of fridge are you using? Propane or compressor 2 way? 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

soon as you get the goods and bring them to Vegas 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

all depends on your battery bank and how much power your going to be using. If you can tell us a little but more about your batteries and how much power you use on any given day in sure we can help size a system for you. And at least get you in the all park of what size to look for. DrJ has a...

I just checked at shipping was only 15.00 but I am only one state away. Federal Express (1 x 21lbs) (Home Delivery (1 days)) $14.99

Jkidd, where did you get your national Luna out of curiosity? I've looked around and almost no one sales them so they are always full price. (And that is expensive to say the least) 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

I just took a tape measure to my old cushions and to get the basic length and width. I knew I wanted a deeper, higher quality foam. I tired to go to the company I used when I had a custom made bed for my toy hauler but they were out of the foam I wanted. So I found a company someone else on the...

Call All Terrian Campers and they will likely have one they can sale to you or tell you the best place to buy one. Of course I would use this as a great reason to put in a compressor cooler or fridge. Very nice to never have to worry about ice again and really not that hard to install. Very...

When we were at the overland West they had a tacoma and a fleet with this set up. The build sheet showed 2,000.00 for the queen size bed over the cab and additional storage. I think that was more of a ball park guess then a hard final number.
