Hi everyone,
First post, hopefully will be a owner of a new Grandby soon, I am currently trying to save money and do a lot of research. So my question is regarding the process of securing a Grandby to a truck. I own a 1 ton single rear diesel truck, it has airbags, the truck is made to haul. I have noticed some posts of people thinking that the system that Four Wheel Campers installs at the factory is maybe not be bomb proof. I want bomb proof, I have access to welding equipment and the ability to make something more substantial, so I was hoping to get some input on what you all think I could do to have something prepped ahead of time. So, is there a standard location approximately of where attachment points should be made? What kind? It sounds like Four Wheel Campers have four corner tie down locations and typically attach with just plates into the sheet metal of the bed and not into the frame. Then they use some kind of turnbuckle system to tension it all. Thanks for any and all input, pics are definitely appreciated.
