I have owned two FWC over the past 34 years. My first was a new 1983 Grandby mounted on a new 3/4 ton Chevy 4wd. The factory (then located here in Colorado) mounted the camper with four elevator bolts bolted through to the bed of the truck. I had a rubber bed in between and that system worked great for twenty-five years of a four drive exploring, never an issue. For the few times that I removed the camper I used rental camper cable jacks....a rather spooky experience.
I purchased a new FWC Hawk in 2012 with the interior eyebolt and turnbolt system. I also got the jacks....a big mistake. The dealer used them to install the camper, I removed them and they have been collecting dust the past five years. An advantage of FWC is that it fits in the garage, is pretty much unnoticeable while driving and is the same length as the truck. So no need to remove it (for bulky hauling I have a 4x8 utility/motorcycle trailer).
FWC builds a tough and well thought out off road style camper.
Not for everyone but perfect for me.
