I have an Xterra that has made several trips out to Moab, and had a year of living in on weekends out in CA wile doing some contract work there. Of course I live in KS and not quite as far west as I would like but here we are. I have always like the idea of a truck camper and FWC fit my needs list the best but was always the Cadillac '$' of my dreams, then I found this one. In good shape but had a little damage to the front passenger roof line. Previous owners were in the desert in CA and were lowering it during a high wind situation and it blew back up and bent up the framing a bit.
A few undulations in the roof
From the side
I was surprised when I looked at the top thinking that this one was new enough to have the one piece roof as mentioned on FWC site, I was not expecting to see all the screws holding the roof on and the seam. ? what year did FWC start making the roof one piece ? Too late for me to use that information in decision for purchase but others may wish to know.
I was told the roof did not leak and has been holding up well, I did notice a few loose screws on the roof, and decided that would be the first project to tackle.
