Removable 4 step aluminum Scissor steps.weight=25lbs. Safest option.

yes on the high cold rated sleeping bag. We turn the propane off when sleeping. No need to heat a space that is not being used.yea its hard to leave that warm bag in the morning, but it is winter camping after all, and the two minutes of discomfort needed to get the propane heater going is...

We found out recently that's not a good idea to sleep with a pop up during a wet snow storm . Our roof was definitely sagging in the morning. We were camped by the Madison River, Montana around 10 days ago and were caught in a snowstorm that was forecast to be no accumulation.turned out to...

And don't forget to increase the turnbuckle load rating.3/8" Galvanized steel ones are in the 1100 lb range, aluminum not so much. I used galvanized 2" square plates instead of using Fender washers. These are available at lumber yards. They are used to hold pressure treated lumber framing...

How would you tie them down? Btw, that space outside of the camper is ideal for dirty laundry storage. Turnbuckle attachment points make that space unusable for batteries on my setup.

https://www.fwcjh.com/granby-full-size-truck-long-be Not to mention FWC says it's ok to put a Granby on a 6'5" bed and for use with 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks. Newer 1/2 trucks are being built with 3/4 ton load capacity.

I have a 08 Granby on a dodge ram 1500 with 1740lbs load capacity and 6'4" bed. Tailgate off, rear seat out, airbags for the rear coil springs and the truck already come standard with front and rear antisway bars FWC says rear needs to be supported. So I got the idea from this forum to use a...

Also, I wonder if the propane propex water heater, filled with propylene glycol solution for radiant heat applications could be routed to a wall mount radiator. Need to add a small 12 volt pump. That way the water heater could serve double duty in warm and cold weather. No added weight, no...

I like that DIY model.Would a sticky solar panel work there? Maybe have it removable by inserting the frame into square channel steel attached to the camper? Have a similar square tube mount in rear above door for different solar angle, and awning.Also for rear mount storage off pavement where...

Will the truck be safe to haul a heavy camper and tow your jeep after the frame repair?

I bc ski as well and used a fan driven propane heater in the past on a '87 dodge explorer camper van, but it used way too much power and was loud. The used Grandy I recently purchased came with a wave 3 catalytic heater so I'm looking forward to trying that out. The biggest problem with cold...

I'll be slicing that thing up and laminating it to a pine face frame in order to match the existing cabinetry. There is a 18" empty space on the front driver side so the plan is to extend the cabinets and counter top into that area.

I have one of those with those 4 (edit)hooks and it came with my used Grandby. It also had two very short shock cords, similar to the ones used to pull the tent fabric when closing. The shock cord held the steel table support to that board, I assume for storage of the steel table support...

Thanks radarcontact,my wife (41 years together),took that photo. Karl, I'm still running the stock passenger tires. From what I've read,the recommendation is to wear those out and then upgrade to light truck tires. I've been able to reduce the stock truck weight by around 130 lbs by removing...

Quote"It is my opinion, and I could be wrong, that today too many are hyper-connected [my new word for the day] to too many information streams in a quest for total and absolute situational awareness. But with this sophisticated monitoring of everything comes vulnerability from inaccurate data...

In non grid tied home power systems, the biggest killer of batteries is not getting a full charge at least once a week. It's common that during the winter months or areas of the country with less solar gain, people will run their generators because there's not enough solar gain to achieve a...

I always use 4 wheel drive on loose gravel and dirt due to better control. I came across a flipped truck once on a gravel\dirt road and encountered the lady driver a mile down the road walking. Gave her a ride to town to the paramedics office. She was kind of out of it and later learned she...

I've been doing a lot of reading on all things truck camper lately and from what I've been reading there seems to be a reported 1 mile per gallon improvement when using those truck roof wind deflectors for four wheel camper type pop-ups.

I have an older bike with an open bike skewer Fork same as you. I considered this Fork mounting option but went with a swing away hitch mount. Don't like the weight so Most likely will go with the fork mount if I ever get a tru axle fork, way stronger. The problem is that I really like my 2010...

I purchased a lot stuff from Backwoods Solar but I generally enjoy speaking to them directly on the phone to place an order because they are good at answering my questions...

I would advise you to do all the reading on this subject you can from expert sources within the industry. Personally I would not put a electronic device in an enclosed battery box. I would also be sure that each string of a parallel string of solar panels had its own DC rated fuse or breaker...

The picture was taken this summer at Rialto Beach, Wa.parking lot. That's our dog Kodi who is now a little over 11 years old. We got him when he was 5 years old after living in a Seattle apartment and the owners could no longer keep him. The previous owners saved him from a life on the...

New to me 2008 Grandby at Rialto Beach parking lot.

Shadow Grandby

Thanks Frank for the info on how to load a picture. Now I just need smaller files to load pics. As for the Granby center of gravity, thanks for the heads up. I was wondering where that was on that camper. Did FWC Mark the CG on each camper based upon options and interior configuration and was...
