    Newbie post. What camper to get to get to fit my needs.

    I checked out a new SS1200 and was really impressed with the features you could get in the 12-15k range BUT after having a rotted wood framed pop up camper I would never own one again. Not to say that a new palamino would start rotting any time soon but they all die a slow death especially east...

    Norcold 323 from my FWC Grandby free for pickup in VA

    I pulled the Norcold over the weekend from my 2004 Grandby so I can install a 12v compressor fridge in its place. I lit this fridge one time on LP and it had a nice consistant blue flame but did not keep it on long enough to experience any cooling. I let this sit overnight on 120v and once again...

    An old Ugly Pickup "Build"

    I have them on my 90 4runner, mainly because of the extra weight from my ARB, winch and lights. If you aren't planning on putting a bumper/ winch combo I'd say skip the OME torsion bars. They ride really firm with a stock bumper/ no winch and the same "lift" can be accomplished by cranking the...

    My 2004 Grandby project/ travel thread

    I have really enjoyed fixing little things, cleaning this camper and making it my own. It also helps that these campers hold their value extremely well so in my mind it is totally worth investing in the right upgrades. If I had the selection of older FWCs like those of you out west do I would...

    My 2004 Grandby project/ travel thread

    I think I'm going to sheath the interior sides with pressure treated ply, it's already really stable but that should make it rock solid.

    My 2004 Grandby project/ travel thread

    I built my "dock" for the Grandby today. I wanted something that was the same height as the truck bed so there would be minimal cranking when loading or unloading. This will also take the load off the jacks and provide a stable base for tinkering inside when the camper is off the truck. I am...

    billboards hauler: homebuilt fiberlgass composite popup for flatbed tundra

    This might be stating the obvious here but since you have those linear style roof lifters is there a need at all for latches to hold the roof down or do the lifters hold it tight?

    billboards hauler: homebuilt fiberlgass composite popup for flatbed tundra

    Camper looks awesome! I was thinking of mounting my wave 3 on a hinged panel in the same manner on my Grandby.

    Pop-Up Camper buy....(Pro/Cons)

    Looks like a clean popup! I would take a pick tool or something sharp to poke the wooden structure of the camper in various places to check for rot.
