    Perfect Mate for a FWC?

    Rockcrawler... I enjoyed spending time with you in Phoenix, and really appreciate the research you're putting into this project. If Alice will be using this for a daily driver... keep in mind that a 3/4 ton can be a rough ride with nothing in the box. The camper will smooth out the ride...

    A very nice built FWC on Ford super duty.

    Hi Everybody... Wow, a lot of conversation on this unit... yes, it's a diesel with a specially built utility box made by Diamond in Stockton, CA. It's purely a pleasure truck - nothing work related - made for a fellow in NorCal who wanted, and had the abilities, to make a special build happen...

    FWC overhang

    Thanks for the warm welcome, kcowyo ! Fiamma awnings are excellent. We changed over from the Dometic Horizon shortly after I came on board, as the Horizon is astonishingly annoying... hard to deploy, hard to adjust, and prone to breaking. Until recently, Fiamma made products for Dometic, but...

    Hi Dave... yes... the camper/tray set up will ride higher... depending on the tray and suspension, some will ride higher than others. Tom

    FWC overhang

    message to KCOWYO.... adding the awning and relocating the roof latch is no big deal... we seal the holes from the original roof latch. I like the awning for two reasons... protection from the elements sitting outside, and shade from the sun on the side window in sunny climates...keeps it...

From what I have seen over there, they are well made, and used by the "tradesmen" for commercial use... hard duty and...

    Hi All... Four Wheel is exporting flat bed campers to Australia now. Basically, we've widened out the floor pack and added in cabinetry for more storage. The Aussies are manufacturing excellent flat bed units, called "trays" to replace the American style "tub" truck beds. Very well made, and...

    Hi Dave, There's another alternative... go with the Finch. It's a new model just released, and is 10 inches shorter than the Eagle. Fits the quad cab bed better, cabinetry is almost identical, ans the roll over couch bed is shorter. Hello to all out there on the forum... this is my first...
