Wow Ted, that is one sweet looking rig! Congrats on your purchase. It will give the both of you lots of happy camping! I bet, when you offer your Tundra and Hawk for sale, it will go as fast as Bill's did. I have to scroll back and take a look at that photo again. Wow!

Ted that is a fine looking rig. Can't wait for the first trip report. 

Maybe we can run into each other looking a the Fall Foliage of the eastern Sierra.

Interesting that long time members and FWC owners are moving on Is it an aging thing? Not sure, but like Bill and K60N, we are also moving on. Going the same route as Iowahikers and getting a Provan Bengal Tiger. Should still be able to get everywhere we go now with our camper but will now have a pass through, bathroom, no more lifting the top, and no more soft sides. We did have them leave off the AC, generator, TV, microwave, and stereo, but add lots of solar and lithium batteries. We still plan to boondock a lot.

Are you buying a new one?

Congrats Ted. If I were ever to switch from a FWC it would be to a Tiger.  Hope it serves you well.

 

Congrats to you  as well Bill.

You left off the microwave? No glamping for you!

Ted is still Ted, no electronics for him when you have fire.

Please share your 'build out' limited as it may be when delivered.  Is Tiger offering any insulation options for cold weather camping now that the malayan is no longer offered?

 

I don't know if you had asked, but was tiger willing to do a composting toilet / black tank delete (seems so if they can do a cassette)?  Will they do a Truma or only spec suburban/atwood furnaces / hot water heater?

Great looking rig Ted.

I like the layout with the bed up front like the camper

IMO makes for a much usable more interior and the bed is always made up.

 

Have a great time with the new rig. When do you get it?

Thanks for the nice comments. Bill, sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread. And yes, we shall see each other on the road.

 

The picture is from Tiger's website but ours will be similar, just white.

 

Spitfire, yes it is being built new. We bought an F350 and shipped it to them. The bed is gone, frame modified, and coach under construction. (If anyone is looking for a long bed truck bed or tailgate, they have a pile of brand new ones behind their shop.)

 

Jeep364, I don't know about swapping out appliances, but we did ask them to relocate the battery storage, which would require wiring layout changes, and they were fine with that. So they are willing to work with you. As far as insulation goes, we have been winter camping in our canvas sided, single pane, thin walled Four Wheel camper. Getting something with insulated 2" thick walls, dual pane windows, and heated plumbing and holding tanks will be such an improvement it did not occur to us to ask about more insulation.

 

Frank, they are saying last week of March right now. If that is correct, time from order to delivery is about 5 months.

Congratulations to you both on your new rigs.  i am not going to show this thread to my wife, as she has been making noises lately about bathrooms and pass through capabilities  .  Happy trails to you both.
