Four Wheel Camper - A Review

[gjackson]

Brad,

We will certainly let you know next time we are up that way.

cheers

I suppose the BIG question--and the cliche one would be---did you hear the "tone?" Any "special lights?"

Quite often when camping I see 'special lights'.


Ahem.

Sweet thread Amigo!!

KC,

It was linked from the Wander the West site today..

Seven FWC's & two ATC's that have been mentioned to me by their new owners. Maybe a few others that I'm not aware of. It's always very flattering to hear someone is trying an FWC after reading some of my ramblings here.

I did lose two potential converts when they bought something else though.... :violent-smiley-031:

But you can bet I'm sending a link to this thread to Stan & Tom, when the time comes to submit my order for a new Hawk.

KC, the FWC Evangelist!



Reminds me, in earlier posts there was talk of the turn-buckles loosening up. Are they still doing that? If so, is it enough of a pain that a solution is sought? I have a couple ideas, but if it's a non-starter then I won't waste the time researching them.

There is a whole thread about the turnbuckles loosening over on wander the west... some people don't seem to have issues with them once they are *seasoned.* Others have double nutted them, drilled the turnbuckles and put wires through them as keepers.... I think I have heard a few other solutions as well.

And KC... am I in your count??? bastid talked me into a FWC too!

 

[mtndog]

Yep, he got me too and his new Finch post made me beg FWC to change my already placed order from the Eagle to Finch. No complaints though.

The turnbuckles have turned out to be a non-issue. I just check them before we leave and then again when we get back home. Occasionally 1 or 2 need a half turn, that's about it.

Kyle, you are definitely part of the count since it took a late night phone call to settle some of your pre-buying jitters. Which I was glad to do since someone had to do the same for me. And you got a great unit to boot. You and Alice seem very happy with your decision.

Todd, I would love to see and hear more about your trip. That area is on my to-do someday list. I would especially like to hear how the Magruder corridor is with a FWC. I wasn't including you in the count but it sounds like you drank the Kool Aid twice. The Finch on your Tacoma looks great and I love the carriers you've swapped in for the tailgate. Very cool.

I posted a quick trip report over at W-West.

Our Panther purchase was significantly simplified by this thread. If you haven't counted us yet, do so now...

Sounds like it's time to officially become a manufacturers rep.

You guys are too much - :bowdown:


Capt. Coors, I'm looking forward to seeing some photos of your new Finch. I hope for Linda's sake you ordered the heater. Keep us in the loop.

Scott B., I'm glad to hear the AT is working out so well for you and your family. I know my kids love ours and I'm sure yours do too.

slooowr6, you were the easiest sell of the bunch. I wish all my clients laid down as easily as you. And I got you twice btw, with the supercharger too. I hope it's all working out for you as well. And I hope your wife doesn't hate me.


Here's the latest pic. Kind of wishful thinking but really just moving my trailer and sled to our new house this week.

Looking great KC!!!

Did you get new rubber??

If you ever want to get away this month...I'll be in Southern Utah at the end of the month....
