    That is my favorite part of sleeping in the topper, with the windoors open it feels like sleeping on a tree platform. I will miss that with the FWC.

    No worries, you'll get a similar effect if you leave the window flaps open. Maybe even better is that the screens keep out skeeters while allowing the cool night breeze to pass over the bed...




    Getting excited yet?

    Hmmm, what are these thing you talk about? Screens, keeping bugs out?

    (Will be spending an extended amount of time in Alaska with the FWC, so I am very excited to have screened windows.

    Does the vent screen from Fantastic Fan work on vent models as well as fan models?

    I haven't decided what brand of topper I will go with yet. A friend of mine has a Flip Pac, it is like being in a tree house.

    Where did you get the poster of the mountains for your window? Is the interior red on all FWC campers or is that custom interior. Looks real nice!

    Here is a question. My old (1982) FWC has screens that will keep out the skeeters, but the mesh is no match for noseeums.

    Do the newer ones have a finer mesh or are you still in trouble when you get into tiny bug country?

    Edit:
    To answer your question, the older FWC's had the tan uppers, the new ones are grey.

    I would sure think the new FWC's have no see um mesh, most things do these days.

    I live in the boundary waters of Minnesota, I know what bugs are.
