I haven't posted much here for several years. Just came across this post. I also agree that the folks at Hallmark were super to work with. I ordered a 2015 Hallmark Ute XL in October of 2014 and picked it up in April 2015. We did not customize ours as much as you did yours. The nice thing about...

I have owned both. The FWC and the Hallmark are both good campers, but different "animals" in several ways. It depends what you want to do with them and how many amenities you need, as others have mentioned here. We loved our Grandby...used it about 90-100 days a year for seven years. At first...

I used to haul my 2007 Grandby on a regular cab Chevy. Had no storage behind the bench seat. I did have a FWC factory roof rack on the Grandby. I could put more up there than I could lift. I had to unload some of it when I wanted to raise the roof, but it was nice to have the extra space. I used...

Eddie, congrats on your camper. We have a 2015 Hallmark Ute, similar to your Everest, and we really like it. We just finished a 6 week, 8500 mile trip "wandering the west". We spent every night in the camper and we had no problems with the camper except for a couple finicky cabinet latches...

Nice camper. I'm sure you will enjoy it. We love our Hallmark Ute. Especially the wife who likes all the ammenities.

Wow Siesta! You did a great job on the old camper. Happy camping.

I love their photos! Makes mine look really mediocure. Buzz

Yes, it is mounted on a vertical plane. In that middle picture, I'm looking down at the top of the pump. The somewhat blurry third picture is looking at the side of the pump. The pump is not mounted very solidly. It's on some sort of rubber mount that is screwed securely to the plywood wall...I...

Mark, Here's some pictures of the Shurflow water pump location and mounting in my Grandby. Not sure how it is in a Hawk, but maybe this will give you an idea hows it's mounted. In the Grandby, the panel just in front of the kitchen cabinet can be removed to access the pump and some of the...

DanT, Here's a picture of the roll over couch made into a bed in my 2007 (sold) Grandby. There is space to walk from the front to the back as you can see and there is just enough space in front of the entry door to place the porta potti there. It is tight, however. As far as two adults sleeping...

My 2007 Grandby is sold...to a member of this great forum. When I pick up my new Hallmark Ute in April, I will post some pictures and comments. Buzz

DanT, actually, I think it is sold. I'm waiting for the deposit. Had a solid buyer in less than 24 hours. Buzz

mc0321, I have the same philosophy as you. Go for it! You will surely enjoy a new FWC. The new ones have some nice options. Happy "wandering" and thanks for looking. Buzz

Dan, the 12v lifter post was made by the FWC factory and they included it with my new camper, at no cost me if I remember correctly. Back in 2007, FWC was apparently experimenting with different lift assist systems and I think this was one of the things they were trying. I used to carry it with...

mc0321, if my measuring is correct, the jacks will lift the base of the camper 47" off the ground when they are fully extended. However, they seem somewhat unstable. Buzz

mc0321, I'm not sure about that. I'll check it and get back to you. Buzz

JJ, here's the dimensions: Base to wing = 21 1/2" Base to cabover = 46" Width at rear of base = 58" At the rear, I have 1 1/2" of space on each side of the tailgate opening on '98 Dodge. Buzz

Here's some better pictures of the rear of the roof rack on the 2007 Grandby. The roof rack is 3" high...basically three layers of 1" aluminum square tubing stacked up. With the three layers of aluminum tubing the roof rack is fairly sturdy. With the roof lowered, I can set a 1/2" piece of...

JJ, that is just part of the FWC roof rack. It provides a place to strap things...sort of like a basket. When I was using a regular cab truck and needed extra cargo space, I would use bungy cords to hold things on the roof. I carried folding chairs, the Zodi Extreme shower, the portable grill...

It's time to sell our much loved Grandby. I'm asking $9000 for it. I'm listing here on WTW first. The members on this forum were very helpful back in the summer of 2007 when I was trying to decide what kind of truck camper to buy and which options to choose. I purchased this camper in October...

Buzz and Sherri from west TN. We have a 2007 Grandby mounted on a 1998.5 Dodge 2500. Bought the camper from Sean and Diana Dempsey in Eagle, WI. Great folks! We are retired so we travel with the Grandby about three months of each year...touring the USA and Canada. We hardly ever see any other...

We have purchased a new Hallmark Ute for a build date in April. Sorry to hear about some of the below average customer service mentioned . So far, our experience working with Matt and the rest of the family has been great. Matt has been very accommodating to our wishes and customization and has...
