New to us, FWC Grandby

[ExpoMike]

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. :wings:

Here's some pics.

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

Nice...and a good fit on that truck.

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??! :ylsmoke:

Congrats....Looks good!

Nice score Mike!

 

[Roaming Robertsons]

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.

Looks good Mike.

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

Congratulations! Looks good.

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.

I wonder if a Yakama bar rack with one of their airfoils would do the job? Rack It on Cl Mesa Blvd sells single Thules or Yakamas.

I don't know if you saw my rig at the Rendezvous, you left early and I was on the other side. This is what I did with my over hang and you have more room. I also added a wind deflector to the front over the cab.

Jeff, your mod was the first thing I though of when Mike said "I'll be doing something with the overhang but haven't decided exactly what yet."

 

[ExpoMike]

Yeah, I recall seeing that and thought it was a great idea. I am thinking of something like that but not for fluids but other things that are fairly light and would like to have easy access to without going inside the camper. Folding chairs and table come to mind.
