I used this heater kit: Happybuy 2KW Diesel Heater Double Vent 2KW Diesel Air Heater 12V Diesel Parking Heater Metal Tank for RV Bus Car Boats Motorhome And this 16ml pump: Tavot Low Fuel Consumption 16/28ML Heating Pump - Durable & High Performance & Long Service Life 12/24V Diesel...

A little more about the truck, for posterity: - Ambulance alternator swap, rated at 215 amps continuous - 4 x 200ah AGM sealed golf cart batteries - Sensata 12/1200 pure sine inverter, rated at 1200w continuous It's wired so that the camper has Anderson and 110 connectors, and the truck has...

Thanks. And I really can't say enough about how impressed I was with that little heater. A few notes: - They regulate temperature by decreasing and increasing btu output within a set range, it does not actually turn off and on. This wasn't a big deal, I just used my vents and fan to make sure...

The old ones at least are built like a tank and just keep chugging along. Works for me.

This has been a long time coming, and some of you may have read about the crazy drama with my flatbed. With that all taken care of, I was able to score a reasonable deal on a thoroughly used 2010 Grandby shell with a few small issues. My goal here wasn't a full on "camper" (kitchen, bath...

In fairness, we know next to nothing about him, his actual financial situation, or his job prospects.

I'm well into the build of a 2000 7.3 F250 4wd. I've been going through it and more or less rebuilding it piece by piece to make it into what I want. It now has a flatbed on it and I recently picked up a FWC Grandby that I'm redoing, etc. I do most of the work myself and still REALLY adds up. I...

A real gem from the paperwork that they submitted to the BBB:

Yeah, I don't understand how these guys have been around for 30 years and there aren't horror stories about them everywhere you look.

In the ongoing saga, I was just notified yesterday of Gary Goodson's (Alum-line president) response to my BBB complaint. Some excerpts: "We had addressed the concerns of the customer and found that all his concerns are with the tolerances of our work." "None of this work was unacceptable...

I'm glad you asked. I hadn't even looked into it because I couldn't reuse them no matter what. It does not appear to be fuel rated. It's sold as coolant hose: http://www.federalhose.com/index.cfm?action=product&PID=51

Thanks all. The detail work is still driving me a little nuts, but I'm much happier with the way its sitting now.

I found a 2010 Grandby shell that I'll be picking up this weekend. It's not in fantastic shape, but it should be a good base to build into what I'm looking for. I just had a couple questions relevant to getting it home that hopefully someone can answer. First, I have a flatbed on my truck...

Yeah, I agree, especially considering that they're sold as class V hitches. If the brackets end up getting used, it won't be exactly as pictured. I only bought them because they're heavy steel with a nice stiffening bend and a very clean cut for the tube. But, to clear the spare, the crosstube...

I love it when a plan comes together. I'll take some better pictures of the whole thing at some point in the near future, but I wanted to snap a quick picture of the progress: The bed whole bed is now sitting at about 3 1/4" higher overall and it's not even twisted anymore. The bottom of the...

Oh, yeah, they're going away. Aside from the issues that you mentioned, they'll also be short by a few inches with the changes that I'm making.

Thanks, should be able to get everything tightened down and get the bed fitted over the next couple of days. Hopefully there aren't any surprises, it should be pretty straightforward. I actually ended up filing one dispute for the installation charge, and another one to account for the fact...

For anyone following along: I pulled the bed, which took maybe an hour. This was aided by the fact that it was exceedingly easy to remove the 4 clamps because they were barely right. I first noticed that they cut off one of the old bed bolts and left half of it in the nut clipped to the frame...

Thanks for sharing that. Honestly, had I seen this before (and noticed that), I probably would have reconsidered having them build my bed. Thankfully, my bed itself isn't nearly that bad, but as I said before, it's certainly not worth the premium that I paid even aside from all of this other...

I don't really disagree, but I also don't know where that picture came from and I certainly didn't see (or notice) anything that looked that questionable from them prior to placing the order. That's a reasonable question, but it's difficult to answer because there are two distinct...
