That's awesome. I'm glad manufacturers are moving into this space. Unfortunately for me for now, 60" cab-axle won't work. Seems like most people like the long cab, short bed combo but hopefully there will be options for everyone eventually. After a lot more calling and emailing every every...

I'm having an issue which I honestly had not anticipated. It might be a little off topic but maybe this will help someone else with their heater project so here goes. I have a shell model FWC, which came with the upgrade options of propane heater and stove, and the base-level battery. I am not...

With your setup, could you just drop the tailgate all the way down? Or if not, what do you think about incorporating that ability if you were to do it again? Seems like that might be the best of both worlds - Let the tailgate down 90degrees if you want a porch, or unhook the chains and let it...

So you have a passthrough? You mean by opening the rear window of your cab and the front window of your Grandby, or something bigger? When I had my old Tacoma with a shell on the back I decided that I'd never own another vehicle that I couldn't get to the camper without going outside. And...

Wow, that looks awesome. Yeah, that setup is pretty much exactly what I was envisioning, only on a supercab Ford. I tried getting on Instagram myself a few days ago and after an hour of researching why I kept getting a vague error message (and coming up empty) I gave up. Call me a Luddite but...

I appreciate everyone's input on this stuff. I think I said that before but I'm just so impressed with how much people are willing to share and try to help others around here. Regarding the OEV storage boxes at the front of the bed - from what I gather, yes they do offer boxes and also tire...

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the input. I know, that height increase is a concern for me too. I am aware of Bowen Customs but I wasn't aware their products addressed the height increase. All the pictures I've seen look like a similar height to all the other overland-style campers to me. Can...

Hey everybody, I'm looking at the above setup and having a hard time finding answers to a few questions. If anyone has this setup or has relevant information/considerations I'd love to hear it. Apologies, this is a long post. I figured I might as well put it all out there and hopefully learn as...

I am about 90% finished installing an Espar D2 in my FWC Hawk shell Monday. The camper came with the stock Attwood propane furnace installed, which I immediately came to dislike. I ripped out the original furnace, and mounted the heater inside the same cabinet. I'll have to make a new outside...
