Wander the West: Why did you choose ATC over FWC - Wander the West

ATC were friendly and seemed to care about what I wanted. FWC did even return my call for 3 days, and no e-mail's at all.

Other than the small,friendly the ATC team. I chose their camper for the following reasons

1.the extra 4"width.Its nice to sleep across the bed instead of carrying the 2 extra mattress pads

2.the extended cab over at no extra charge $600 plus with FWC

3.the simple storage design. Sliding doors seem to work better for us.

4.the willingness to work with you on ways to customize the camper

5.the difference in price for the same,apples to apples design and options was about $2000 less,and i can't see any difference the craftsmanship or quality.

6 the screen door and sliding window are no extra charge.

We had the dinette floor plan and it really works out for us better,more room to move around and the table stays up all the time(we have no need for the extra bed space). There is enough storage since i added the plastic drawers, see the thread about mods i started. We just came back from 3 weeks at yellowstone and the camper worked out perfectly. What else can i say for our input i recommend ATC. To be fair i did go to FWC first at the time i hadn't heard of ATC,so i did compare. Hope this helps. See some of my threads for pictures.

Those are the 2 main reasons I did not choose ATC. I didn't want the wider, longer and resultant heavier ATC Bobcat. If the Bobcat had the same dimensions as the Eagle I might have went with ATC.

Just an observation, not a criticism. Both ATC and FWC make a quality product. As said often here, it's good to have choices.

I would have to agree with the above post, I do not want a wider camper. If ATC made a narrower camper I would consider going with them. (Also FWC does make the wide body Fleet)

The extended cab over is now standard on most FWC's. So #2 is a moot point.
