If you can close the tailgate with the camper in it, its not a grandby..

Got any pic's??

[Mushhuskies]

Ben, the bed is indeed an eight footer.

Tomas, the tailgate doesnt come close to shutting, 3-4 inches off. Now I can post knowledgeably about my shell!! I tried to upload some pix last nite and ran into technical difficulty. I'll try again tonite after I go thru the howz-it-works section. Some of the probs are a new computer with the OS Vista.

Thanks...pete

Stan, Ben, & Tomas,

Thanks for figuring out what I'm tootling around in! Wasn't critical, just nice to know. Now I don't feel like such an ignoramus when people ask! MH

Stan,

Is the picture of the Grandby mounted on the light green Chevy pickup, about 1970 vintage I believe, an extended bed version? It's the first picture in the first batch upper LH corner. I'm trying to get an idea what an extended bed version Grandby would look like on my standard cab 1977 Chev.

Thanks,
Buzz

Buzzman,
I checked out that Grandby when the owner had it for sale. Unfortunately he changed his mind about selling the day after I looked at it. Anyway to answer your question it is an extended bed. 2002 or '03 vintage I believe.

Hey Buzz

Yep, that New Grandby pictured on the restored 1970 Chevy does have the extended cab-over bed.

I think it looks good and works just fine, even on the standard cab trucks.

From inside the truck cab you probably won't even be able to see the cab-over portion of the camper.

9 out of 10 orders we take these days, the customer goes with the extended cab-over bed option.

Thicker mattress, looks nicer on the ext.cab and crew cab trucks, better resale value down the road, and less bed in the camper floor area at night.

I can't see any reason not to order the ext. cab-over bed, except it does make the roof a little harder to lift. We have a couple things available to help with lifting the roof it you found that you needed a little extra "ummpphh".

Here are some more pics of camper with the "extended cab-over bed" mounted on the standard cab trucks.

Hope this helps.
