Hi! We are putting our FWC Raven up for sale! We recently moved back to the Midwest from SoCal, where the camper was used exclusively. Since we moved back, we have not camped at all and this has been in our garage the entire time. It's in really good condition overall and we didn't get to use it as much as we should have when we were in CA. We are looking to upgrade to something bigger for a 3/4 ton truck. The Raven model will fit any full size truck, but it's made specifically for a 1/2 ton truck with the short 5 1/2 foot bed. If you put it in a 6 ft bed, you may be able to close the tailgate, and if you try to put it in an 8 ft bed, it will work but you're going to want to build storage in front of it so it can rest against something. It will get stuck on the wheel wells, so you can't push it all the way into a long bed. Otherwise it should fit. It was originally on an F150, and I had it on my Ram 1500 with airbags and E rated tires.
Pros:
- It's in great condition. We really took care of it well and kept it clean. It hasn't been in much bad weather at all aside from traveling.
- Everything works - Lights, stove, furnace, etc. No electrical issues when it's hooked up to a vehicle
- Features:
Cons:
- It's in St. Louis, Missouri. Should have sold it while I was in SoCal lol
- The original owner had a taped on solar panel on the roof. It was a cheap panel and stopped working. Garaging the camper didn't help. This ruined the deep cycle battery. I can get a new battery pretty easily but want to talk to a potential buyer before buying in case buyer wants to upgrade battery anyways. I removed the cheap solar panel and almost have the gunk taken off the roof of it as they used Eterna bond tape.
- Cosmetic damage - Small dings from rocks on highway hitting the front of it, which happens to all of them. You can't really see it but it's worth mentioning. I backed up into a tree branch hanging down once with it and it marked up the rear siding upper left corner from the back door. It is just cosmetic and did not go through the siding or impact the frame at all. If you replaced the siding it would be like-new, but it's just cosmetic.
- Screen door - Has a small plastic slider that I think you maybe can get from FWC? It's yellowed and probably should be replaced as it has some small cracks. It's a cheap little part so I would just replace it but it's not going to make a big difference.
Overall, I hope the camper can go to someone who can make some great memories with it. It's going to be a sad day letting go of this camper! It was our first camper and will not be our last. Please feel free to contact me or shoot me an offer / questions / request for more pics / etc.
