I am so stoked to be the proud owner of a FWC. I don't care if it is 23 years old it's cool! My fiance and I had just decided that we wanted something more substantial than a tent to camp and travel with and started a search in earnest for a good fit. I had seen in one of my four wheel mags a "pop-up" truck camper and that's when I found FWC's and ATC's.
As soon as I saw them I know that we had found our match and wouldn't you know that I found a Fleet model close by in Seattle (I live near Portland). Phone calls and emails went out as did the tape measure to ensure all would fit well and I was off to the Emerald city.
Four hours after arriving I had a FWC in the back of my little truck. I got a screaming deal (thank you very much David you are good man), and he even called in some of his friends to help make the transfer from his rig to mine.
We paid $600 and I couldn't be happier. I have already jumped into the repairs and can't wait to get out and pop our top in the great outdoors.
I took a bunch of pics during the repair of the bed board (cab over section) that was complete mush. Chicali from FWC answered all of my questions in a couple of phone calls and gave me some good tips on getting the new board in place (requires a pry bar or two
). I was thinking of maybe doing a short write up on the job if there was any interest.
Sorry to be so long winded, I'm just super excited about our new adventure.
Till next time....
