I just watched the videos, so is there no lift mechanism, you just push the roof up and prop in in place? If you add racks on the top how heavy is it to lift?

Hello eugene

Over the past 35 years the FWC's have been built around a durability & utility approach.

They have always wanted to keep the roof lifting simple & light, so they haven't used any cranks, cables, electric motors, etc.

When the roof is empty, most customers can push the roof up without any extra assistance.

But if you add gear to the roof (ex: canoe, kayak, cooler, storage boxes, etc.) the roof can be very hard to raise.

We now offer a "gas strut lift assist" option that can make it a little easier for the customer having a hard time raising their camper roof.

ave you thought about making an upside down U shaped support in the front and back instead of the triangular wall so there could be a front and rear window? Ours currently has a front window which is kind of nice, the rear door is tall which is nice but also causes other issues but make a window there would be nice.
Have you ever make the kitchen components removable so they could be used outside like a camp kitchen/chuckbox setup?
I'll spend a month trying to fix up our old camper and then get frustrated and let it sit a month while I look at pictures of yours thinking I should just sell mine and then realize I'm a couple years from affording one and go back to trying to fix up mine :)

Hmm, just noticed you list only the 6.5' model (Hawk) for short bed trucks and the 8' model (Granby) for long bed trucks, do you not support the 8' Granby model on a 6.5' bed? I'm running that way now with our existing camper.
They look a little narrower to me too. I can't get an accurate measurement of the width of mine, so many different parts have been replaced at different times that its not the same width anywhere :)
