Congrats on the trip! Glad it went well. That's a lot of hard work paying off for you and your wife.

Congrats on the first trip, hopefully, you are not like me and don't just think about the next modification whenever you use it!  Hope you had some well earned rest and relaxation.  Any more plans for more trips?

 

 

Forgot to mention, I ran into another couple with a FWC. It was a 1998 Grandby on a pickup with a utility body. They drove to CA and picked it up new at the factory. They had been contemplating some upgrades after almost 20 years of ownership and  came over to see what I had done with mine. 

That is awesome.  The camper has probably outlasted their truck!

Did a couple small projects on my Grandby. First was installing a A/C unit the front window. I used a standard home window unit and made tracks for the bottom and top that fit in the grooves of my front sliding window. The bottom track is fixed to the unit, and the top track has a top and bottom piece with slots between the two. The A/C unit drops into the bottom track slot of the window frame. Once in, the top track is raised in the slot to lock it into the top track. Very easy job. Had problems rebuilding my door and it didn't come out well. Got in touch with Emmett Door in Emmett, ID and they build me a custom prehung door for $147.00. Shipping was costly at a little over $107.00. It was a perfect fit, just butyl tape and screw it onto the camper. The door was complete with frosted glass and the lock sets!
