Here are some options I would like to have seen offered by FWC when I bought my 2014 Grandby:
[*]Hail protection
[*]Light blocking curtains
[*]Gray water storage
[*]A greater willingness to accommodate customer requests for particular mods & customizations
[*]I wish that mirror on the back lift panel was removable
These are just a few of the options I would like to have been offered. I would be interested to see what ideas others might have.
Thanks.
- A choice of colors/patterns for the Formica counter tops
I don’t know what possessed the folks at FWC to assume that everybody would fall in love with that god-awful dark gray/brown sponge granite pattern for the counter tops. The white Formica they used to use added brightness to the interior and gave the illusion of space. The dark granite pattern does just the opposite. I would never put such ugly Formica in my own kitchen. My guess is that their supplier must have offered them a great price for that awful stuff just to get rid of it. I suppose that dark pattern might appeal to some folks but not to me. If FWC offered a choice of Formica patterns it would expand the appeal of their product to more customers.
[*]Hail protection
- The one piece aluminum top looks nice now, but after the first hailstorm it will resemble the surface of the moon, or a golf ball. Parking under a tree during a storm is not safe. Covering such as a gas station may not be available at a moment’s notice. There must be some thin lightweight materials that they could use as roofing that would be strong and resilient enough to withstand the impact of hail, or when damaged could be more easily replaced.
[*]Light blocking curtains
- Why not offer curtains made of a material that is opaque to light? I don’t want people outside to see silhouettes on my curtains at night. What I am doing is none of their business. For that matter, they should make the vinyl for the popup section opaque, also.
[*]Gray water storage
- I’ll be building my own gray water storage this spring, but if it had been offered by FWC I would have bought it from them.
[*]A greater willingness to accommodate customer requests for particular mods & customizations
- ATC will accommodate such requests but FWC will not. I asked about ordering a side dinette and I wanted to substitute the 3 piece portable table for the swing out table, but FWC refused my request. Why? If they would have honored that simple request I would have paid more money for the side dinette option. Since they would not, I went for the standard rollover couch instead.
[*]I wish that mirror on the back lift panel was removable
These are just a few of the options I would like to have been offered. I would be interested to see what ideas others might have.
Thanks.
