Not to mention an improvement to the insulation efficiency of the camper, I imagine a weight savings, no wood means no rot and no water damage. From a production stand point, better production efficiency = shorter build times = shorter wait times = more units $old. Theoretically it's a win-win...

Now that's a very cool set up. Haven't seen that before. I'm sure it's pricey but I like the idea.

Why change it? Because it can be improved. As an engineer I would think you'd always be looking for ways of improvement. Improved performance through better engineering. There are some categories that could potentially be improved. Weight reduction Insulating efficiency Layout and design...

Lol! Love it.

I believe on the video the guy says the cost of the Camp X is $25k. There's actually a member on the forum who has purchased the Camp X in the video so he'll likely give a report on his findings. As far as some things remaining the same like the Dana 60, 44, etc. Yes I totally agree dependent...

You're missing the point. The example was a measure of time. Choose Engineers, Cabinet makers Astronauts, College Professors, MBA's, NASCAR drivers, over the road truck drivers, any profession that requires a time commitment to become proficient at a professional level. It's 46 years of...

Yeah I think so. I mean for example, the F series is on it's 13th or 14th generation, which means by definition means that they've changed the design significantly 13 or 14 times. And that's since the late 40's. So that's 14 redesigns in 60 years or so. This is evidenced by the fact that a...

Apples and oranges.

I would never try to convince anyone that they're not happy with that have. If you're happy with your FWC, absolutely more power to you. I do think there is the tendency confuse and mix and match different concepts. I get what you're trying to say, but "resistance to change" is actually like...

Do you guys have a page that shows your latest builds or build out completed by customers? Would be great to see what people are coming it with for their needs.

AFG6L- Great post and good to hear of your experience. I agree the Truma Combi would be a great addition and a move in the right direction. Smaller, lighter, takes up less space than both a furnace and water heater. In terms of cost, it should be negligible. According to the FWC website, if...

What makes the front axle so locker friendly? Thanks

Stan I really I appreciate your response, the fact that you monitor forums and are open minded to change. I hope FWC does react to changes in the industry in a forward thinking way. I would hate to see FWC become an after-thought as newer and better options from competition pass you by, remember...

It's unfortunate but I believe you're correct, some companies likely won't react until they feel an impact to their business. It's a very reactive philosophy that doesn't seek out innovation or new processes. Luckily the camping/ overlanding world has seen a bit of resurgence in the last 10...

That's great to hear, but it's not just a question of longevity. As we all know longevity is based on use and care. How often something is used, how it's used, under what conditions, and how well it's cared for, garaged, not garaged, etc. That's why we see so many well cared for, still running...

I hear you. But think about why people are looking for a used one. They're not interested in a new one and the new price because they haven't changed that much so why pay the additional money. After all they could just order a new one? When I started seriously looking at them myself about 5...

Well congratulations on that set up.

Well if the LAST 20 years is any indication of the NEXT 20 years for the FWC's design, there's a pretty good chance they will be exactly the same ;)

Do you have the Overland Explorer truck camper, the Camp X? Saw one at the show. Very impressive set up.
