Harsh winter Grandby build

The FWC upgrade has bigger plates like that on the inside, and a climbing hanger type of connector on the other side rather than a simple eyebolt.  The hanger has more surface area than the original eyebolts too.  I tested that one day when we were trying to take the camper off of the truck and forgot to undo the turnbuckles.  YMMV, but I found that the new mounts were strong enough to lift the camper and the rear of the truck off of the ground.  Doh!       

Ok whats the correct way these are designed to be folded up?

All my searches say you should be able to fold the top down with them open but it doesnt work any of these 3 ways. Well it folds down but getting it back up they get all stuck together in weird ways with the velcro.

Also none of the 3 ways i pictured actually engage this patch of hook velcro on the outside fully or efficiently.
What am i doing wrong here?

I would not lower the top with the storm flap raised, and when I received my 2013 Grandby, I’m pretty sure the person who did the delivery walk through said to always close them. 
 

For securing them open when the top was up, I liked the method in your second picture.

Can anyone answer a wiring question. This camper seems to be pre wired everytime i take something apart. Theres a green and yellow wire running along the aft wall. Green is terminated.
Is green meant to be a spare + positive wire lead or a - ground?

Also found a set of leads on the aft vent which will be nice when it comes time to add another fan.

I’m thinking it might be prewire for optional exterior lighting.

where is that wire?  if on the back wall, that is likely a power wire for the flood lights.  Grounds are usually made right to the frame.

This is what i figured BUT if i connect the main power feed from the fwd wall (black and white wire) with black to + and white to - the green wire gives me a - signal. And my frame becomes +ground.
Which from my research the black is "supposed" to be positive on RVs but its looking like FWC used black as ground feed. Which makes my green wire a + feed for and extra exterior light.
Ill be using it as power for ny heater

Speaking of heater, got it installed just got to plumb it.
Had this heater in my truck topper for a while but since this camper is replacing that no need to have it sit.

That's a nice furnace. Even with the fan, it will be a very low current draw from the battery.
