First of all… thanks for dropping this video. It is extremely informative. You two are AWESOME!!! I’m thinking of purchasing a Project-M for my Chevy Silverado 1500 but I have two questions. While watching these videos, I’ve noticed that all of the vehicles are 4x4. My question is… is a 4x4 mandatory for this item? Also, did you have to add new springs/shocks or add a lift to your truck before adding the topper? Any information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
4WD is not mandatory, that would only depend upon where you want to travel and under what conditions. The majority of 4WC and Project M customers are overlanding or love getting out off the beaten path where four wheel drive may be necessary. But no, it's not a requirement. We did not have to add any additional suspension support, because we already had AirLift airbags on our truck. They were very useful for the full weight of our fifth wheel. The Project M itself is very lightweight! The stock shell is only 420± lbs. For this, airbags should not be necessary depending on the payload capacity of your truck. If you plan to add considerable weight like we did with our build-out, airbags are something to consider and very easy to install.

@@liveworkdream thank you so much for the helpful information… I copy all. I will look into the Airlift Airbags before going to the 4 Wheel Camper website to see which topper or slide-in suits me best. Thanks again for your input. You two have fun but please be safe out there. I look forward to viewing more of your content. Thanks again 🫡
Back to basics! With state of the art basic solar included😂
Happy Campers! Thanks for sharing!
That’s why we love FWC!!
