edit update purchased grandby on 2-1-2012. will post updates on it here starting at post # 17
i know the over cab portion is approx. a fullsize bed, question i have is will the mattress support a 6'1" 275 lb individual without bottoming out?
will the top of a grandby support a canoe?
i am considering a granby for my f350 due to its light weight and simplicity. it will be for me, my wife at 5'6" and child (6 months currently). hoping to have enough room for all of us to sleep comfortably, hopefully without having to make modifications.
planned use would be for going to see places like the grand canyon, moab, yellowstone, mexico. i am not planning on doing any majorly technical 4wheeling with it, but it will see rough county roads and some fire roads.
as far as the vehicle goes i have all the sway bar bushings for the front and rear replaced, some airbags i need to make new mounts for. i am planning on welding d-rings on to my lift gate for attaching the camper in the rear, and putting a bar under the frame on the front end of the bed from side to side, to attach the front of the camper to, until i get some sliders made for it.
any other concerns i should be thinking about?
