    FWC; Turnbuckle suggestions? Factory buckles are a joke.

    I've been using the torklift standard turnbuckles for a few years now. I like them much more than the standard FWC aluminum extrusion type turnbuckles. Torklift Hook to Hook Turnbuckle - S9012 Does your Tundra have a plain steel bed? Spray on bedliner and/or a rubber mat will also help keep...

    Allterrain camper

    Just before Covid took off I had ATC replace the side liner, lift panels, and re-skin and add "yakima tracks" to the roof of my 1999 FWC Granby early this year. I'd say that yes they aren't communication heavy or into small talk, but they did a good job at a good price, and in a timely manner.

    Super Pacific - New Wedge Camper

    I was able to go by Super Pacific yesterday and check out some in process canopies. The design in these is flat-out impressive. The guys there are very excited with their product and I think they should be. It'll be very cool to see how these continue to evolve.

    Hard-Sided Pop-Up Camper by Hiatus Campers

    That's an important point to consider. I'll let Hiatus owners/users speak to that. I do know that I already spend a bit of time tucking corners in on my FWC before latching the roof down with zero wind. It's even worse with wind.

    Hard-Sided Pop-Up Camper by Hiatus Campers

    I don't think those are necessarily apple to apple comparisons. I'll throw in my two cents as an owner of a vintage FWC weighing replacement options. I live on the wet side of the Cascades and have owned my camper for about 3 years. My Grandby is a '99/'00 which means it was built by the guys at...
