I bought a 06 Tundra with a 4.0 six in it because all the specs said it would get better mileage than the V8. If I had it to do over I to get a small V8 or maybe an eco boost 3.5. That small 6 cyl. works hard and the fuel savings just isn't there. Side note: the bigger motor can/will allow you...

I moved from a 06 Tundra access cab with a Hawk to a lightly used(41k) 2012 F250 super cab 4x4 gasser, I am quite pleased with the resulting rig. If you can find the same truck in a 350 configuration, I'd say go for it. Be sure to check out the cab to frame bushings on the Fords as they are a...

I'm with Vic, use it n your current truck for a couple trips. Should give you some insight as to whether you want to stay with that size truck or move on to another. My own 2 cents would be to stay full size. If Toyota is your thing, lot of folks here with Tundras.

I will add, there are several variables to the answer on #1. Battery type, battery size, temperature of battery, alt. output, volt drop from alt. to the battery, how low was the battery. Yes a battery monitor is great to have and provides usable data, however it is not imperative to have one. I...

4 years on Cooper ATPs, no problems. Tried the BFG KOs but they had to much sidewall flex, felt squishy, even at max pressure(80 psi). Both brands were E range

Not being familiar with your camper solar system wiring or how the truck is wired into the charge system, I will offer this. Go back and methodically checked all battery connections, be sure all is correct. check to see the batteries are wired correctly in parallel and NOT in series(24volt). The...

Use a polyurethane of some type for sealing screws. A lot of folks here use 3M products like 5200, 4200 or 4000. 5200 is very permanent and hard to remove if you need to but if you want max bonding as well as sealing it is very good. Always cleaning any surface before applying. I have no...

Never apply products to the fabric that have petroleum listed on the label. It will leach into the coating and can attack the adhesive over time or preclude you from getting adhesive to bond when repairing. Any good PVC boat adhesive/fabric will work for what you are doing. Remember you are...

Don't know what year your truck is but my 2012 f250 has a plastic plug in the unused fog/driving light cutout on the front bumper. Do you have the same or is it already used?

I had a loaded hawk on a 006 access cab with the 4.0l motor for 2 years, so the answer to question is yes, it will work on your Tundra. Be aware of the rucks short comings(brakes come to mind) and respect them. Up grades would be E range tires, HD shocks(i like Bilsteins) and up graded springs...

If you are a bit of a minimalist the hawk should work fine and you could take a look at putting it on a F150 crewcab( more cab for the g.f.) since it is avail. with the HD payload option. As a few people have mentioned, the Grandby has more storage and room inside, but will also be heavier as...

Looks like a mount for an outside table.

What larry said, works very well. I do sometimes have a small area along the front which requires extra attention during cold weather because the fabric isn't as pliable as it is when warm.

Is this while the camper is just sitting or when driving or both? My leak was when driving and was fixed by refurbishing the rubber seal where the roof lowers down to. If it leaks while sitting, try removing and reinstalling roof screws with a bit of polyurethane sealant. I live in a humid...

Has anyone driven all or sections of this route with a FWC or similar rig? It is primarily for motorcyles but appears to be doable in a truck camper at least parts of it. https://ridebdr.com/mabdr/

Come to gulf coast Texas and try out some of our gumbo mud.

Have you looked to see if bigger companies like Ranch Hand etc. list the same part numbers for the 2019 and 2020 bumpers and or mounting parts/brackets. If part numbers are the same I would think you would be good to go.

Welcome, thanks for the fishing tip

If those had been avail. 7 years back, I would have one instead of my Hawk(which I do like mucho). It would have been a better set up on my first gen Tundra, which has been replaced with a F250.

According to Ford the new 7.3 was developed primarily for their fleet customers. Simple 2 valve push rod motor, cost effective to maintain. They claim it will get as good or better mpg as the 6.2 since it won't have to works as hard. I do agree with Machinebuilder though, i will wait on real...

Decide: How many people will be sleeping, weather conditions(temp etc), sleeping bags/pads or cots? Whats your budget, is this a one time thing or do you expect lots of use. Is standing height important? Is it for car camping or walk in sites?

Fill old holes with 3M 5200, insert larger screws if they are required to attach roof skin. Tighten by hand only, being careful not to strip. Once dried the 5200 will seal and anchor the screws in place. Another option if the holes are to far gone is to drill new screw holes next to the old...

Vehicle prices have gotten to the point of ridiculous. Would love to be an insider and see exactly what it cost ford to build it(labor and parts). I still have the dealer invoice from my Dads custom ordered 1969 F250 camper special; big block engine, auto, dual tanks, limited slip,disc brakes, E...

Thinking about removing the rear seat and building a platform/ shelf unit there. Would appreciate seeing any pics you might have of remodels of same. thanks

Get the payload package if avail. on the model you decide on. Don't short change yourself on the engine as the smaller ones work harder which will affect MPGs.
