I've been browsing this site for a few years dreaming of being in the position to buy one of these setups. Well that day came a few weeks ago the wife (boss) gave me clearance, so here i am!! I've followed up on all the current leads from ebay, craigslist, used fwc, and wander the west (as of 2/24/10), and no go. So i'm posting a plea...

We're ready to buy and will travel, the only stipulation is it's a clean, non smok'd in unit. We aren't looking for a no frills unit or a mod'd shell would be preferred, (we do have a budget). Please list all mods and send pics

Thanks in advance for all the help, Joe

Update... Still looking / waiting

I may start another post regarding other pop up camper manufactors, information based not a bash

Welcome and here is a craigslist search engine that can help.My link I used it almost daily and found a camper within months. I was just up in your neck of the woods a few weeks ago, very beautiful place. -Joel

yeah and it probably builds character too... Spring ski trips are on my mind and one of these campers would be so sweet.

Skeeter i would have loved to check out your setup, I should mention if anyone is traveling thru the area (Yellowstone) and is willing to let a stranger look in their rig i'd love to check out other setups. In trade i can point you to some cool camping spots (non-rv and NPS CG). As you can imagine FWC and ATC campers are far and few between in these parts.

In years past i've followed a few rigs with FWC thru the park in hopes of taking a look! To all those i scared i'm sorry! To all other FWC and ATC owners... you've been warned!

I'm also thinking of starting a website to allow toyota tundra owners to commiserate over looking for used FWC camper...

Welcome, good to have another on board who likes to surrender to the fall line! Best of luck with your search. As with everything, patience pays off.

I am just writing a listing for a '98 Grandby. I'll give the full listing today. I have had it in a 2000 Silverado PU. What is the wheelwell distance and the tailgate opening on your truck?

Unit is clean, never smoked in. Has an icebox and no builtin heater. I used it in NoCal prior to moving to Seattle area.

I'm in Kenmore, WA. Will list for $6000.

I'll have pictures with the listing but sounds like you know what they look like. Drop me a line if you're interested.

the tundra is 58 wide at the rails, if i remember the grandby is an 8ft unit?

new owner... thanks for all the help
