Hello,
I would really like to get a FWC for my Nissan Frontier that has a Ute bed installed. Sounds simple enough, except for the fact that I HAVE to buy used due to budget. My budget is probally only 2k. In the PNW that puts me in the 8' models made for older full size domestic trucks. Luckily the flatbed provides me some flexability in model dimensions, but weight becomes the issue since there would be 16-18" overhang off the back. I know thats not ideal and if I could find a 7' model I'd be thrilled. Does anyone know how much a gutted 8' FWC weighs? I like to travel simple and light, just want some hardsides and a real bed. I imagine that pulling out the cabinets, fridge and stove would drop the weight quite a bit. Any info would be suggested.
Another thought, how hard is it to section out a piece of the camper?
