    ?’s: new Hallmark pop up / options / Everest or EXC

    Sorry to hear this MrFoamy. May I ask - in what ways did you see "poor quality control, horrible engineering" ? Did you buy your Hallmark 9.5' new or used? What year was it? For what it is worth... your negative comments about Hallmark are the first and only such comments that I have seen...

    ?’s: new Hallmark pop up / options / Everest or EXC

    ?’s: new Hallmark pop up / options / Everest or EXC Up to today I was fairly sold on Four Wheel Campers (a Grandby slide in) but a *new* Hallmark Everest (or a Hallmark EXC shell with a bunch of options) would have quite a few advantages (for a higher cost, granted) We would get a Ford F350...

    I am curious about the Rhino Rack as well. $550 approx without the mounting hardware. Whatever we get would go onto a yet to be built AWC or FWC. J.

    ? for F 250 owners - options mods etc on custom ordered 2019 or 2020

    Thanks. Yes indeed this is still basically correct. The F350 has slightly better brakes, Springs, etc. But similar to f250. The same size overall. I will get a f350, if I can convince my better 1/2 :-)

    Best interior layout? FWC Grandby

    I'm curious about this question as well. it would be a slide in Grandby, for what it is worth. with our previous travel trailers... we almost always leave the beds made up as beds, and just sit on the edge of a bed if we want to sit and have a quick meal indoors. 2 adults and one tween...

    FWC *indoor* shower owners: how is it? Likes / Dislikes?

    FWC *indoor* shower owners: how is it? Likes / Dislikes? Hi all We are looking at a Granby slide in. (or similar ATC) We’d be using a PortAPotty, so we dont need or want a walled toilet / shower area. Sometimes it would be more convenient to have a quick indoor shower rather than outside...

    ? for F 250 owners - options mods etc on custom ordered 2019 or 2020

    Aha - thanks. Very helpful. It seems that if the GVWR is 10,000 or above I have to pay an extra $322 in fees in California, per year. Ouch.

    Been having fun doing all this research. Thanks everyone for all the great info!!! :)(y) So a couple things I am wondering about…. -—> Is the GVWR only a sticker - that relates to a statement for commercial trucking that it’ll never carry more? and nothing else is different about the truck...

    ? for F 250 owners - options mods etc on custom ordered 2019 or 2020

    I figured out that to get the 2 front seats with the center console, it seems that you have to get the XLT trim. getting the XLT trim with a few various nice things... adds $5,000. part of that $5,000 is about $1,000 for the front seat center console. Yikes. :-(

    Best quality, design, fit + finish, and warranty support in Pop Up Camper?

    Right - but as I mentioned - We would not ever likely find a F150 with Heavy-Duty Payload Package (etc) on a dealers lot. And we want to custom order regardless. And Perhaps the options on your truck weighed 600 lbs? Just a wild guess. As it does not include options on the truck. And i...
