Hi all, it appears that ATC is still alive and doing well? It's tough to tell being that they don't have much of an online presence - website hasn't been updated in some time and I can't find any kind of Facebook page or owner's group page or anything. Is there anywhere I can see current pictures of interior and exterior? Anywhere I can find the components they use - for example what is the current furnace they are using? Build differences between a modern FWC? Thanks!

ATC is a small company owned and operated by hands on builders. No, they are not social media and tech motivated. Their business model works, as each time I check they are far out on delivery times with the amount of work and orders coming in. A lucky place to be! Their main source of advertising, etc. is all their happy customers. Best way of getting information and answers to questions is give them a call on the phone. Yup, old fashion. I've always found them happy to answer questions and help.
WTW is your best bet for an owners group. Their campers haven't changed over the years and the few tweaks they offer are on their pricing/options page. The great thing about ATC is you can ask if something can be done and they'll do it if it's possible. Ski's right about them being a small shop. I've been there 5-6 times over the years and it's just Jeff and Marty plus 3- 4 guys in the shop. Give them a call!!
They are indeed alive and well. I suggest you call and ask to speak with Marty, he’s friendly, easy to work with, and will have the most up to date information to answer your questions.anonymous said:
I will say that ATC builds an older style camper than FWC, but I believe it is a stronger build. Marty and Jeff are also willing to do custom work, which I see as a plus. Their motto is “Built to survive”.

I have a custom ATC flatbed model, one of my buddies has a fully loaded Granby, another has an ATC Bobcat shell.
The FWC is fancier, at a much higher price for what some of us don't want or need. This being said, what they build may not look as modern but they build a product that works.
I have spoken to them about advertising, expos, facebook etc. They are not interested, because they don't really need to be any busier.
The market for these types of campers is growing daily and they are many months out on new orders.
I would suggest asking the folks here if any are in your area and try to take a look at the campers we have.
i saw a rig this weekend from FWC that looked very similar to mine, but much more "trick and modern" looking. I am still glad i went the way i did, as i know i saved tens of thousands and had it built the way i wanted it.
Good luck.
Marty and Jeff are solid guys.

i picked up my atc ocelot back in march. shell model. quality build. i have been in other's atc's, and fwc.
marty walked us through the camper, and it was nice to know i was talking with the guy that built the camper. also got to see a couple aluminum frame structures in the shop - was impressed and welds looked good.
i sent them my own headliner material
my thinking was to go with a shell model, which is the lowest price point, and then go with premium components like an alu-cab awning, espar heater, dometic fridge/freezer, etc
good luck. their order backlog is probably around 18 months now. same for fwc.

Hi Anonymous,
My Panther was built in 2017 so, isn't new but here are some pics of my mildly custom interior (done by ATC).

Marty and crew do very nice work.Your interior came out very nicely.
You can't beat ATC IMO.
