thirding the question why to avoid FWC. For all I know they are among the most dependable and rugged campers out there, being all aluminum frame and such.
I know if I was to buy another pop up and had an unlimited wallet (I don't, I'm retired), my first choice would be a Four Wheel Grandby (maybe a limited edition Woolrich), second would be a Hallmark, third would be an Alaskan, fourth would be a Northstar and last would be a Palomino (which I happen to own and have had ZERO issues with.
Like an Alaskan or Hallmark, you can get a Four Wheel Camper built any way you want it, aluminium outer skin or Filon, any options and the FWC camper is TIG welded aluminum frame with no wood anywhere (except inside in the cabinets)
Would be my first choice.
Finding one used or an Alaskan is an exercise in futility. People buy them and keep them forever.
...and unlike a conventional TC, they can be used on a light weight pickup truck.
