I found and baught most of my system from eBay. It can be tricky on eBay but I've always had good luck and saved over 20% on the prices you have listed. I have a smaller but similar system and I'm in it around 1700.00. Good luck and look forward to seeing your upgrades. You can see my upgrades...

I got around to replacing the foam in mine and was pretty easy. And I no longer need to take cot pads with us. You can check the link below to see all the details. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/11351-New-to-me-grandby 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

Here is how mine fits in my grandby. Added a lot of useable storage and it's easy to take outside when I'm cooking in the outdoors. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

Here is my camp chuck box. Easy to take in and out when I'm cooking indoors or out. Lots of useable storage. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

Pending not available-I have three cushions and covers from a 1997 grandby with the older l shape layout. I upgraded mine so the foam and covers are free to a member that could use them. I live in Henderson, nv. I removed the hardware and plywood in them but both would be easy to replace if you...

Here is one of the old and new in a post to see the difference. Also, i have the old foam and pads I'd happily give to another member if they can use them. I did remove the hardware and the plywood inside but both are pretty easy to replace. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

Few more pictures in the camper. My trucks interior is red so this now matches the truck as well. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

Took a few pictures of the battery upgrades along with the trimetic set up. Still need to clean up the wiring with some zip ties but so far its works great 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

So spent the morning getting my new foam and fabric upholstered. It is amazing the difference it made in the camper and how much more comfortable the couch/down bed is now. This is as comfortable as my lazyboy and my bed in my house. This is a close 2nd to my favorite mod next to my solar...

Ronin that is a great design and bet it lasts for years of solid use. I was looking for one that can be used inside the camper and easy to take outside when I could. Love seeing how others handle storage for camping and that can really make a trip a lot less work and less stressful. 1990...

this is almost the same system drj is running. His mppt charge controller converts the 250 watt panel at 24v to the 12v for the batteries. His system has worked really well for him. But it did add a bit of weight to the roof so he has 40lb lift assist on the roof. I went with 2 flex panels at...

I upgraded with a lot of help from DrJ, all my electrical, added solar and my battery bank. I'll try to get some pictures this week when I'm working on the cushions. 2- 6 volt 225 amp hour each batteries VMAXTANKS AGM (Total of 225 amp hours at 12v's) 2-120 watt flex panels on the roof...

Well I've made some good progress on my camper mods and more to go. I'll try and update more this weekend. New foam and fabric arrived in the past few days. This new foam should really be huge improvements over the 20 year old sagging foam that is in there. The old foam was 4 inches and this is...

Vic try the www.thefoamfactory.com just enter in your exact size, along with the type of foam and they send you custom made sizes with in a week or two. I went with their high quality six inch Dacron wrapped to re-Do my cushions and the total with free shipping was 270.00. I found some fabric...

Hi Stan- Room for one more? Just found out my son has school out the 28th and I would like to come along.

Great write up. Nice to hear people living in them full time. Have you looked at a factory trd supercharger? Give you a lot more power and torque going up hills while maintaining a factory warranty. A lot of guys who add them see mpg increase as they don't have to max out the rpms on every hill...

I know another guy on the board had it pop open on the freeway doing 75mph and no damage done. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

I have been using two cot pads from cabelas in my grandly just ordered new foam and fabric on line for a total of 350.00. So I will let you know how that works out. I'm hopping with new foam I won't need any cot pads and two less items to bring along. 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

Wow great project and great to see someone bringing back an Alaskan to its former glory. I've had my son camping since he was 6 months old and it gets easier and much more fun as they grow up. I was lucky enough to have a dad that took me and my brothers camping and some of my best childhood...

very well could be. I've only owned old fwc's that didn't have anything like that installed. I've always updated them with the aftermarket parts I read others using on here. And seems fwc reads and uses the newer parts others find better success with on here and other forums. 1990 Ford F-250...

Do you have any pictures of your mount? 1990 Ford F-250 1997 fwc grandby

no, I don't have any issues and that is how mine is hooked up. The only thing I have hooked up in the middle is a shunt on the neg side so I can use my trimetric 2030 battery monitor. That thing is a little pricey at around 190.00 but very nice to know what power is going in and out of the...
