Hey Folks,
So, I'm in the process of getting my '82 Grandby dried in and I am about to order a replacement sideliner. I am leaning toward the ATC replacement, but I covet your opinions on superiority of one or the other. I have the basic differences down...I think. Different processes to plasticize the material. FWC seems to have the edge on that. Storm flaps inside for the FWC and outside for the ATC. Not sure if one way is vastly better than the other, other than not having to get out in the weather to put them down. And then price. ATC has the advantage here.
Price is a factor but not the only one. Is there less condensation with one or the other? Like I mentioned, I'm leaning towards the ATC due to cost principally as even if the FWC holds a slight advantage in longevity, apparently the new material is more robust, it doesn't seem that the old material was prone to failure with proper care.
I did some searching and it seems to be pretty much a toss-up between folks using FWC and ATC with a couple folks making their own. I'm not really into delving into fabricating my own liner...so, what do you all think?
Thanks in advance!
Removing the old liner...among other things.
