    Let's play "Guess the repair!" Update with answer!

    Put more weight on the opposite side. For the groaning around corners, I recomend installing a louder stereo. Or check the Blinker fluid levels, muffler bearings, etc....

    The set up I use for the mutts consists of half inch (1/2") cdx plywood for the deck,3/4" plywood for the frame, with piano hinges and a two door opening that when the door is closed looks like the floor. I've invested about $30 dollars total into this project. The carpet is marine/auto carpet...

    Photos of mid-sized vehicles - Post Here

    This has been a fun truck for me since 2007, not very impressed with the actual MPG,s,(from what the window sticker stated), But I can get about 16-17 mpg with the FWC Finch on back and loaded. I do tend to drive like grandma when the camper is on and the speed limit in Oregon is mostly 55-60...

    Camper and Truck Photos

    I have only owned my FWC Finch since Sept 2010 and slept in it a total of three nights. I really like it and it seems to be great qaulity. I was supprised at how well it was constructed, It is a shell model with furnace and extra battery options. The original install was a bit squeeky, so I...

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    Was this a FWC camper? I laughed so hard I sprayed coffee all over the laptop at the"banjo burning" comment!! I've had one of those drawing board moments to put a ice shanty stove in my FWC. Then the thought of burning wood over a tank of gas while sleeping crossed my mind. And where to vent it...

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    Not unless we make it! You can order the sink and fabricate the rest or pay the shipping cost. Maybe a question the van folks can answer? I was using the pic for reference mostly. The unit is self contained and light when empty with two handles it is easy to move. Would easily fit under a canopy...

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    MTN very functional "Barn doors" on truck/camper. HADLEY: I have a portable stove as I like to cook outside as much as possible. And I have a very nice sink that I will be installing in the camper, will make a post about it soon. Do you have a link to the Westy setup? Searching for a good...

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    I think if you order the furnace package it comes with a CO and smoke detector. It is also a forced air unit with electric fan and thermo, already vented. With the shell model the cabinet is only about 14inches or so high, or my info could be wrong. But with that addition it should not weigh...

    Trans Labrador Highway and other places of interest 2010

    Great trip report and photos. Noticed one of your lights was absent on the front. Did you loose it on the bumpy roads? I have a knack for taking out birds on my road trips. Two windshields and an antenna so far. Nice to be away from civilization for awhile though isn't it.

    The TARDIS - A Four Wheel Camper Build

    Where did you get the poster of the mountains for your window? Is the interior red on all FWC campers or is that custom interior. Looks real nice!

    Davidshourd's Frontier Build

    Nice write up and truck David. What area had the big wash? Does the airbox not seal tight for any reason and would you not want to go in hood deep water then if it isn't sealed?

    Potential host - 6.5L diesel tahoe 2DR 95-97 Z71

    Where can you get military K-5s around the pacific northwest? Drove one for a few months in Alaska, that was a very tough old beater. Bad starter though but super easy to replace. Love the minimal interior, rather no interior. And fun.

    Are FWC campers worth the money?

    All this talk about steak is making me hungry again, I should clarify that my frustration is mostly directed at myself for already taking time off work to enjoy a camper that I will not be in possesion of. Your right about the sales staff not being involved with production, and I will be trying...

    Are FWC campers worth the money?

    !!!!!!Slow Production!!!!!!! Any fwc owners that purchased new have trouble with production times? My sale was in May 18th 2010, and I'm being told that now it won't even be built until September. I was verbally told by my sales person that it would be 12-13 weeks to build. And I had to make...
