Has anybody here dealt with Chris at Rocky Mountain in Denver area? Feedback would be appreciated
First-class operation. We we're headed to Utah from Indiana and our 5 year old camper batteries puked. We called and arrived at 9:30am and we're out the door with new batteries. A saved vacation. Later something else happened and we decided to cut our side trip to Telluride out. The weather was going to be bad and we weren't getting charging. We stopped back at Rocky Mountain. They did a complete system check and found the solar controller failed. They replaced it and we we're on our way. They stepped up twice, and fitted us in. Don't think I could give a better endorsement than that. jdottorogers said:Has anybody here dealt with Chris at Rocky Mountain in Denver area? Feedback would be appreciated

Thanks, we are buying a Granby from them in November. I appreciate your feedback

We are getting the 130 L fridge, we previously had a Hawk model with the smaller fridge, WIFE wants the bigger fridge!!!! We also have 160 solar, we had 100 Watts with our Hawk, not enough for overcast and rainy days, 160 should do it I hope.
If I could, I would have 200W - 300W on the roof. I have an 80W portable, but we aren't usually sitting around during the day. I might upgrade the roof or get a Hondo 2200 generator, for bad weather security. I was at the Mid-Atlantic Overland Festival. Dometic was a sponsor. They had their Bluetooth top loading fridge and freezer. An awesome fridge and freezer, but I'm not replacing mine unless it goes.

We just added a second 160 Watt panel to the roof. Tired of worrying about the batteries. Now, some batteries with a few more Ah would be nice. Maybe next year.longhorn1 said:If I could, I would have 200W - 300W on the roof. I have an 80W portable, but we aren't usually sitting around during the day.

How is lifting the roof now?veryactivelife said:We just added a second 160 Watt panel to the roof. Tired of worrying about the batteries. Now, some batteries with a few more Ah would be nice. Maybe next year.
Much easier to lift now. We dropped about 12 to 14 pounds while doubling capacity. Switched to the Overland Solar panel that FourWheel is using.Timothy McGowen said:How is lifting the roof now?
I realize I'm late to the this thread as you have already ordered, but put me down as another happy customer. Chris put up with a lot of questions and was very easy to work with as I bought my 2018 Hawk. They were flexible on the install date and very accommodating. 5/5 stars.ottorogers said:thanks for all the feedback, we paid our 15% deposit, and will pick our Grandby November 15th (if all goes well) at Rocky Mountain FWC
Chris and Josh are FIRST CLASS, highly recommended RMFWCokiedavid said:I realize I'm late to the this thread as you have already ordered, but put me down as another happy customer.
