I wish they'd taken pictures during my build. That may come in real handy down the road.

Dan Nelson's new camper has that heater. The round port in the grill turns.

Your porch light looks different? Is FWC using a different one now?
I think they are just using a clear lens. You can a replacement lens in clear or amber. The amber lens on my Eagle cracked and order a clear lens online. I'll confirm when i get the camper.

Did a tire rotation today and was going to upgrade the brakes. I have a set of a stoptech rotors and EBC brake pads from the seller of my used truck. I was thinking about installing them but the stock pads and rotors looks to be in good condition so I'll wait till they wear out.
Spent another hr underneath my truck attempting to install my rear sway bar but realized the lower end bushings were missing from the package so I had to take everything apart. Called summit and talk to some guy who sounded like he didn't want to be there which was understandable. Just realized the replacement part he is shipping me is the wrong part even thought he assured me its the right part. Called summit again and looks like I'll have to wait till Monday to call back so they can call Hellwig. I might just call hellwig directly on Monday.
Can't wait till next Friday

The summit phone guys aren't race car enthusiasts? Not a big deal with my truck but with my Jeep its nice dealing with people who know the difference between kaiser and willys.

4 months since the start of the thread and +4K views later, I will end this this thread with the following images:
Standard new camper with truck pose in front of FWC HQ
new exterior LED lights
Camping mode
Overall my install was around 2 hrs including paper work. My truck was already pre wired with atwood plug and eye bolts. The only issue is the line X bed liner on the rear bed side was really thick so the camper is extremely tight near the tailgate. Taking the camper off will require some precision.
Overall thoughts:
-Very glad we went with the flush mount sink and stove. It acts a part working area/baby changing table
-Hot water and furnace were luxurious. Glamping to the max!. Need to take my daughter backpacking so she really experience camping.
-Side dinette is perfect seating for 3. The new lagun style table is awesome!
-Silver spur interior another good choice.
-Fiamma awning is super easy to deploy and very good quality.
We have trips planned everything month till Sept! Thanks to everyone for their input and feedback. See you out there!

I'll start another thread for those with babies and toddlers and sleeping arrangements.

I'm thinking about the same FWC setup. Could you please post a lot of pics of the inside? I need help in deciding on the front or side dinette floor plan.
Thanks ... and enjoy!

Congratulations on the new rig.

Don't have any pictures of the interior its pretty standard side dinette with sliver spur interior. Almost identical to this camper and truck that was for sale except no lift struts:
