At a recent tractor show I attempted to light the furnace in my mid-nineties Granby. After it failed to light, A friend and I made several attempts to no avail. The furnace cycled through its phases but didn't light. I'm not sure the igniter was working. Hope it's something simple and not a...

I think you need to take step back and just chill for a bit. Congrats on your med school endeavor. Sorry for your personal strife. As far as your camper thoughts, I'd advise to lower your sights. You'll do better with a used unit and have money in your pocket for other fun things. You are...

I added a 5000BTU window AC unit to my Granby. I removed the emergency exit window and made an aluminum adapter insert to mount the AC to. The unit can easily be installed or removed in less than a 1/2 hour. I can leave the adapter in the opening and add a piece of lexan to serve as a window...

I would fill the "ping with a little epoxy putty and then cover it with a custom made four wheel decal or a travel decal of some kind. There is no way you can pull out that deep of a ping, because the aluminum is stretched too much. Trying to fix it will just make the area around it worse. Leave...

The main reason that I did this was due to the age of my camper. It's a '94 model that is in exceptional shape. I have read that the earlier panels deteriorate and fail at the attaching points and hinge areas. I feel that the supports will carry some of the weight and relive the pressure on the...

I know that most of you are familiar with how the lift panels will bow when the roof is in the up position. The weight of the roof causes the panels to bow. This will, in turn put stress on the panels. I have come up with a simple way to relive some of the weight on the lift panels. I...

Struts are OK but personally, I don't care for them. Just my opinion, I think they "junk up the look of a camper. I went with the crank-up speaker stand. I use a small cordless drill to run the stand up and down. It really works slick. I've used one since last year and highly recommend it...

I wouldn't attempt using your present 6 wire plug. The 12 volt wiring is not heavy enough to carry the amp load for your camper battery charge needs. Most camper installations use a plug setup designed for boat trolling motors. I would visit a boat sales store or an RV center and inquire about...

I just returned from the maiden voyage of my Granby. Went to the Portland, Indiana tractor/engine swap meet. Had a great time and the camper passed all the tests with flying colors. The only real problem I had was trying to get up into the "upstairs" bed and out again. I think I need to come...

The truck is a 2002 2500 2WD. It's a little less GVW than a 2500HD. It really handles the camper well and the camper is heavy enough to smooth out the choppy 3/4 ton ride.

I've been watching for a FWC for quite a while. Used ones are hard to find, especially east of the Rockies. I wanted an older one that would fit my budget but still be a clean serviceable unit. One finally showed up on Craigslist a couple of months ago.The camper was owned by the brother of...
