Welcome to the forum Chris. I've owned several Dakotas and they are very nice trucks. If you like hard side campers check out Six-pack , the sister company of FWC. The FWC site has a link to their other company.

Cheers,

Mike

Welcome to the forum Chris. The fellow I bought my Four Wheel Campers, Ranger model from had it originally on a Dakota. The FWC Eagle also will fit.

Good luck!

Welcome aboard

I can't help you with what model will fit on your truck, but I think you joined one of the most helpful groups around. Welcome aboard. I'm sure we'll all be glad to hear when you get one.

Chris,

Welcome to the board. It looks like you've gotten some good advice from the members on your camper options, so good luck and keep us posted.

What's the relationship/difference between ATC and FWC? I'm getting confused, not that that's unusual...

 

[erod]

here's some info on that...

that cheetah is pretty cool, never seen one of those...

 

[Chris]

I think I will go with the Panther sportsman Cheetah model Its just what I really need.

chris, just wondering, if you don't mind, what are some factors that you considered when making your decision? while i like the cheetah, seems like the fwc/atc is lower profile over all, and offers more features (stove, sink, fridge, queen size bed, twin pull out couch, sink, etc.) and over all more interior room when popped. the weight seems similar, the cheetah about 100lbs lighter but maybe not when compared to the shell models...must be the price. just curious, cool camper though!

First of all I like the fact of the solid walls (no pop), it has 2" on insulation through out the camper. good price, Nice look, and I don't need the stove, sink, or fridge.
Nothing against FWC/ATC they are nice units.

right on chris, keep us up to date on your progress, love to see some more pics of that unit. cheers!

Never seen a Panther that I can recall....?

I'd be interested in hearing about their mounting system. Is the cab-over just for gear storage and the benches when converted, make up the bed? How about interior height at the peak?

It's an interesting concept and I like the light weight and aerodynamic shape of it. The available roof rack looks like a good idea too.

 

[chnlisle]

It really pushes the center of gravity way up there. Could be a problem in some areas.

 

[craig333]

Never seen one at a show. They pretty new?

 

[Chris]

yes they have only been in operation for a year, and already getting popular, all over the country. all the specs are at www.bestbuiltproducts.com
The above cab is for storage.
