Jasper,welcome to the cult.

Your setup looks great.I like my Bobcat on my 02 Tundra.

Just the right size for the two of us.

Hey, thanks! Happy to be here. Dug up a photo of your rig, it looks great! 

 

I'm getting prepped to build out a little galley cabinet on one side of the camper and may start a thread to share the process if anyone is interested! I've learned a ton from poking around this place.

Starting an"build thread "is always appreciated.

It's always interesting to see other builds.

We can maybe learn something new.

 

Thanks

Frank

Today's market seems to have no bounds. I'm looking at FWCs that are 4 years old selling for basically at new pricing. Even 15 year old ones have retained incredible value. But I already got on that train once, isn't that why you buy a Toyota? To resell it down the line with 100k more miles to someone else who is excited to have "the best"? :) haha

I feel like from an information perspective, I'm starting to "get it"....but finding available campers to tour, let alone buy, is quite a bit more challenging.

Current focus: ATC Bobcat, FWC Hawk or Granby
Step 2: learning more about suspension mods

Last question...why don't I hear as much about the Puma and Cougar as the Bobcat?

If you go with a Grandby, I'd suggest getting a higher weight capacity leaf springs than your stock ones, along with E rated tires. You'd be fine with your current leafs if you go minimalist with the shell model or even the Project M topper. If you go that route, a set of air bags will help a lot.
