I am surprised some of the FW Guys have not checked in yet...there are quote a few around here.
I can't say 100%, but I looked at a FW a while back and I think the 8C and 9C models are for short beds.
Let me dig around a litlle, I might have a .pdf somewhere...

Congrats,
Bill

I listed the incorrect weight. The option sheet shows the camper weight at 2,372 lbs. and with total options put it at 2,602 lbs. so not as much as I first thought. I took a few photos today. I can't believe how clean this camper is. The bath room does not look like it has been used. Let me know what you guys think.

A few more pics. For some reason the power converter is in the floor. I may need to move it. I don't know why it like this. It works.

Bill, you are correct. The roof did leak several years ago. The camper had a new roof installed 2 years ago; along with some structural repair. I'm going to replace two of the roof panels that are sagging. I may be able to reattach them. They are not stained. The camper was kept under a car port in the dry except when in use. I put a tarp on the roof because I saw a drip on the antenna crank handle today. We had some heavy showers today and I was looking for leaks. I'm going to remove the radio antenna and reseal the roof.
