    Default New to us, FWC Grandby

    Well, we picked up a nice 2004 FWC Grandby for our recently bought '97 Dodge Ram 2500. Very nice with just about all the option. Extended cab over, water heater with outdoor shower, dual vents, one which is a Fantasic Fan. It has the Fimiaa awning, dual outside porch lights, back steps and roof rack. Very excited to get this unit and just need to do up the bed mounting eyes and wiring. Then once it's on for good, I'll remove the four jacks and we should be good to go.

    Here's some pics.













    I'll post more this weekend when I pop it up.

    Very nice. I'm interested in hearing about two things once you get settled in with it:

    How your rear suspension is holding up.
    How your gas mileage is with the diesel.

    You don't waste any time do ya??!

    Looks good on your truck but I'd find something to fill the gap between the extended bed overhang and the cab. That thing will drag wind and hurt your mileage.

    Very nice Mike!
    Welcome to the club.
    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Keep the door open when you pop it up.

    Thanks everyone. Definitely really happy with both finds.

    I'll be doing something with the overhang but haven't decided exactly what yet. Seen a couple neat ideas, just need to get my plans set. First order of business is to get the correct eye bolt tie downs installed.
