FWC Price Increase Coming Dec. 1st, 2015

[Stan@FourWheel]

Hello Expedition Portal Members

There has been some questions on how much the price increases will be coming Dec. 1st.

Thought I would post the pricing details below for anyone that might be thinking of placing an order sooner, rather than later.

If you are thinking about getting a camper for Spring, now is a great time to order.

You will save some $$ and still get your camper by the time you need it / want it.

Last year we got about 70 new orders in about a week before the price increase, and it really pushed out the delivery times quite far.

Don't wait too long, now is the time to order. Thanks !

Sure would be nice to be able to get a Finch shell. Don't like the wide body Fleet and don't like the Eagle length. Ron

The Finch has been replaced by the Swift, but I don't know much about either.

 

[NikonRon]

Swift is a wide body like the Fleet. Ron

 

[cchoc]

Swift is a wide body like the Fleet. Ron

They are going to stop making the Eagle too, most seem to want wider bodies. I chose the Eagle over the Fleet because I don't. :sombrero:

 

[NikonRon]

Be great if they could design one that didn't protrude out past the factory bumper. The camper becomes the bumper, bad design. Ron

 

[Regcabguy]

Yep. Scary using that investment as a bumper.

That's the main reason I went with All Terrain Campers. They built mine to match the bed of the truck. No camper sticking out behind to get bashed sooner or later.

 

[Main Line Overland]

I'm a fan of this setup

 

[NikonRon]

I'm a fan of that set up too, but I already have a $2000.00 CBI bumper with swing away that it won't clear.

 

[cchoc]

Does CBI make a bumper extension? I had to have one with my Aluminess to fit my Eagle.

 

[Herbie]

Not questioning your pricing strategy, but I'm curious if you can comment as to what drives the cost difference between the regular truck-bed and flat-bed models? I know the layout is different, but there isn't a huge obvious difference in material or features between them. (Or does that price include the actual flat bed? Which would certainly explain the difference.)

I only ask because a flatbed model is on my long-term wish list...

 

[NikonRon]

No, no bumper extension but of course they can fabricate a custom bumper. Ron

 

[cchoc]

If they can fab a bumper I expect they could fab an extension for an existing one. I have their sliders on my Tacoma and they do good work.

 

[NikonRon]

May just have to modify the swing away. Wonder how bad the extra width of the Fleet is. I could get the shorter version with that.
