Hi friends, ready to change up my current setup from truck topper to camper.
I too live in NW BC, another 1700km to the Can/US border but will incorporate the long drive to Sacramento into a camping trip. I just put a deposit for a panther shell for now, as there is at least a 12 months waiting. I will have time to consider what other options may want plus have extra time for working overtime to pay for all theseAlso some of the gadgets(Li batteries,fridge, electric system etc) are cheaper in US and can buy online and ship them to ATC.
Used ATC/FWC are very hard to find in Canada and US, I tried, didn't even have a chace to ask questions as the good deals sold fast.
As the other posters/owners stated, the campers are built by the two owners(with some help)but those guys are not getting any younger and foresee that soon ,the "name" they created will be sold to a bigger corporation. The owners are very flexible, although I don't know why they were trying to talk me out of upgrading the wire sizes on my cost, supplied by myself
In a year ,I also hope, the oil will go up and hope so will be the Can $...or no...
Cal Tax and Can tax something to consider and use your creativity...
