    Third time's a charm or may have found the Unicorn

    The chain is run through the rings on the hitch. It was the most expedient way to tie it down for the trip home, Salt Lake to Denver. Seemed to work fine. I have tie downs on the end of the bumper, but with the width of the Keystone chains will rub on the side. Being "vintage/old" It was...

    Third time's a charm or may have found the Unicorn

    Just bought my third 4WC: new Grandby, used Keystone and now another Keystone. It's a 1985 in very good condition (for its age) new upholstery, all of the original paper work including a sales brochure and owners manual, and one boo boo on the siding. May use some diamond plate to cover it up...

    1989 FWC on Denver Marketplace, $2750. Says it's 6'6" long and looks to be in good condition. Heater does not work. Came off a Toyota Tundra. There is also a free 10' FWC roof in Steam Boat Springs. Two very inexpensive Keystones, can't get a reply from either. Dan

    Vintage Fleet on long bed truck

    I think it had been posted for all of two hours when I replied and did not get a response. Are the older Fleets 7.5 feet long? Not so short on an old 8ft Ford. This is the third FREE FWC listed on either Denver Craigslist or Marketplace. Something will workout.

    Vintage Fleet on long bed truck

    I realize a fleet is 7 feet long and just wondering if anyone has any experience doing this? Did you mount it all the way forward or mount to the rear and have storage to the front. Someone in Denver has one listed for free with roof damage. The rest of the pix look ok. So the price is right...

    A Rustic Restoration Project. Bringing a 1980-Something Grandby Back to Life

    Go for the full rebuild or at least 90%. That will make for better video. Maybe attach some permanent Jacks. I just cringed when I saw you using those free standing ones. I remember using them myself when I bought a new one in 1984. Thought it would fall off every time I used them. Dan

    New canvas price and availability

    Given that I'm considering looking for a vintage Grandby or Keystone, many of which are probably in need of new canvas, I called ATC. The quote was $1950 for the canvas or $3150 installed. Usually a month lead time for manufacturing and then an appointment for install. Sounds fair for...

    Vintage truck with narrowed floor pack camper

    Considering a road trip next week to see a vintage Grandby. May be a tuff choice as photos show some well used canvas and a really wild 70s color scheme. But the price is in my budget. Real question is if there would be any problems with the combination. The ad says the floor pack has been...

    Grandby will tailgate go up

    I'm going to look at a 94 Grandby next week several hundred miles away. I have a 97 Ford F250 long bed and I'm wondering if I can leave the tailgate on and if it will close. If I get it may try to tie it down for the trip home and then drill the four holes to mount it. At least with it up it...

    Anyone in Billings Montana?

    Yes it is a keystone, my old one on the truck I still own. That's why I know that a vintage Grandby will fit. Sorry if my post was confusing. I would really like to find a nice Keystone but would certainly settle for a Grandby especially for $500. Dan

    Anyone in Billings Montana?

    Anyone in Billings who would inspect a vintage Grandby for me for fee. Just saw one listed on Facebook Marketplace for $500. From the three photos posted it looks good for its age. Just don't want to make a 14hr round trip from Denver unless someone has laid eyes on it. Marketplace has been...

    1984 FWC Grandby on Billings Montana Facebook Marketplace, $500. The ad says it needs work, but looks ok is the 3 photos posted. Maybe it's the areas not shown. I would drive the 7hr from Denver to get it if someone in Billings could do a PP! for a price. Sounds too good to be true. Dan

    What's My '03 Grandby Worth?

    NADA still has an online value guide. I played with it a little and didn't think it was very accurate for your vintage. It goes from current year to 1980. Seemed a little more accurate for the older units which is what I am interested in. Doesn't cost anything but a little time to take a look at...

    FWC Keystone design and history ?

    Just joined and saw this thread and thought that I would post that I had a Vintage Keystone ( probably mid 80s) mounted on a1997 Ford F250 Supercab 4x4. Only had it for a few trips before getting a fully self contained S&S hard side. Our first camper was a new Granby from the factory in Lakewood...
