    FWC vs Outfitter

    For various reasons, we are leaning more towards a popup slide in. It appears the obvious lightweight choices are FWC/ATC and Outfitter. Outfitter is 40 minutes away so obviously I have to consider them. Yes, I know Outfitter is more expensive. Looking at the specs, the FWC Hawk is 795# dry and...

    If a slide in camper had ...

    We go camping because we like the outside. I like the idea of a slide in except that it's TOO isolating from the environment. Currently we have a fiberglass topper w/ a windoor on one side and sliding side window on the other. We usually sleep w/ the back tailgate down and hatch open. I'm...
