    3rd Annual FWC So Cal Customer Rally (San Onofre) Oct. 24th - 26th

    When we get there, even though we are not camping, do we need to pay a fee? Also, can we park down with the group or do we have to park somewhere else? The park website really doesn't cover any of this, that I could find.

    Custom Truck Bed Build for FWC & Chevy 2500 Duramax

    Yeah, I was really hoping to find out what the stock bed to fabbed bed weight difference is. My Ram is sitting near 8500 lbs (varies slight by gear loaded) on a 8800 lbs GVW. I am doing everything I can to try to keep at or under GVW. I do need more/better storage and have been looking to...

    Custom Truck Bed Build for FWC & Chevy 2500 Duramax

    You didn't by chance weigh the stock truck/camper before you started the new bed? I am curious what the weight difference is with the new bed over the old one.

    Then and now.

    I'll play... Day I drove it home from AZ, April 2011 As it sits today (well, not in Death Valley but how it would at my house)

    3rd Annual FWC So Cal Customer Rally (San Onofre) Oct. 24th - 26th

    Is it possible to just come up for the day? No real interest in camping in a camp ground, let alone one that's only an hour away. I wouldn't mind bring my FWC up for a day visit.

    Steering box bad?

    Have someone inside, with the engine off but key turned to allow the steering lock to disengage. You look at the pitman arm/steering box and have them trying to turn it slightly to the left and right. If the pitman arm is loose on the shaft, you will see the shaft rotate but not the arm. If...

    pop up help camper or flip pack

    So far our Four Wheel Camper popup has not prevented us from going where we have wanted. Here is going UP Mengal Pass in Death Valley. Oh and this is at 8600 lbs. of weight. :)

    Thinking of selling my truck for something more expedition capable

    Funny, I went the opposite way. I moved from an XJ to our '97 Dodge Ram. For us, there has only be a couple times I wish I was a little smaller but since I don't mind a little pinstriping, it hasn't been an issue. :)

    Toroweap Rendezvous

    And on top of the fee, no fires! ****** is the country coming to? I don't mind when the fires need to be in a fire pan or a propane fire but no fires outside of a gas stove. Come on man... what are you supposed to do when it gets dark until time for bed? Sit around an empty fire pit...

    1st US Hawk Flat Bed Pictures!!

    My guess is the flatbed wasn't from FWC (or their specific spec'ed one) but was bought by the truck owner. I do agree that there are better choices for flatbeds out there and I would have one that offered storage below the bed line.

    1st US Hawk Flat Bed Pictures!!

    Looks great but I SERIOUSLY wish you guys would post up a flat bed version of the Grandby! I want to see how the floor plan lays out and what the overall interior size "feels" like.

    Australian Style Hard Floor Camper Trailers

    When we had our Cherokee, we used to tow our Kamparoo trailer (ours was imported from AU via Canada dealer). We used this for almost 3 years and it worked flawlessly. Though I love our new setup (FWC on the Dodge), I would not hesitate to do a Kamparoo type setup again.

    My Junk

    I have a NovaKool fridge in my FWC. It's a compressor type. Replaced the original 3 way fridge. It's very quiet. Only time I even know it's running is when I open the door and can hear a faint running of the compressor. Door close, it's slient. Since you're local, you're welcomed to come...

    Desertikon 4x4 on Iveco Eurocargo 95e21ws (from Nord Est Italy)

    Great idea and progress. Really like how this is all coming together. Still a little confused how the diamond pivot system works but I think I have an idea. Will have to research that more. Keep sharing your pics and build!
