Hi Folks,
I have finally taken possesion of my new Fleet, which was ordered back in March! It's been at Go Anywhere LLC in Wisconsin since early June. I drove up there last week and got it. Sean did a great job on the installation and Dianna spent a lot of time explaining everything and going over the paperwork. We had a good time, too, discussing everything under the sun. They are great folks and I would recommend to anyone in the East that you get your FWC from them.
The camper is absolutely beautiful! I got the silver exterior to match my silver Tacoma and it looks great. The interior is very nicely finished. The beds are going to be fine: plenty of room. Sitting in there at the table, it's hard to believe that we are in the back of a Toyota Tacoma!
Technically, I guess this posting is sort of off-topic, because I wasn't camping, just bringing the empty camper home, but it was the maiden voyage of a FWC. With about 30 PSI in the Boss air-bags and the tires at 60 PSI rear & 40 PSI front, the truck was easy to drive and semed perfectly safe. I took it slowly - about 60 miles / hour. With the empty camper (except for the corner jacks stowed in the aisle) I averaged 15.4 miles / gallon, compared to 18.1 going out in the empty truck.
I took a little detour through Michigan on the way home and spent a day on the beach near Frankfort (NW LP). Here's a picture of the camper being taken aboard the carferry Badger at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, for the trip across Lake Michigan to Ludington. It was just one of the hundred or so cars, trucks and motorcycles carried on that crossing.
From Ludington, I drove north along the lake to Frankfort and caught the sunset as I went.
And here it is the next day by the Point Betsie lighthouse.
It's too hot, humid and buggy to do any camping around here in the summer. I'm going to leave the camper on the truck and get it ready to do some short outings in the fall. Then, our version of the Great American Road Trip to California next summer!
