Majority of us have been there. Freezing my ass off in a tent or camper shell got old (as did I). I don't miss trying to light my svea in the wind. One click my coffee is going while I get dressed standing up in heated comfort. My only regret is not getting my FWC earlier!

Great job on the survey I'd love to see when it's all done. for me and the most important feature was the solar panel on top no generators , and by graylight- sunrise, it's already fast charging

My first FWC was a Shell Model 1998 Ranger II that I had on a Dodge Dakota.  It had the factory cabinets and bench seat but no stove, fridge, or sink,  just storage.  We stuck with the FWC brand when we bought our new Grandby that is fairly loaded with options, mostly because of the front dinette floor plan with the shower and cassette toilet.

I tried to take this survey but you left out the Raven which is 10 inches shorter than the Hawk and is the best camper for that short bed crew cab trucks ( no overhang)
