Thats an awesome bike rack set up. What is the fork bracket bolted into?

OP, I had this issue as well, no furnace when camping at 15 degrees F. BBrrrrrrrrr. I thought trimming the ducting was enough, but it wasn't. I also had to remove the air deflector, the round spinning center piece of the furnace face that allows you to change the angle the air is blown...

From the FWC website.... The roof is designed to withstand up to 1,000 lbs. of an evenly distributed snow load. When carrying luggage, coolers, kayaks, canoes, etc. on the roof, we recommend keeping the total gear weight around 100 lbs. or less. The less gear that is on the roof, the easier it...

Dessmo, These look great! I'd like to do something similar. The bolts go through to the inside of the camper? Were you able to locate the aluminum beams? Any more pictures? What did you use for sealant on the outside? Thank!

I would use a load calculator for the specific size/specs of your tire. You certainly don't want K02s with 70+ psi in them. My K02's have a maximum pressure of 65PSI written on the sidewall. Using a load calculator I derived 55psi front 60psi rear (w/camper). 325/65/r18 BFG k02, E rated...

Rigd just release an off-road specific bike rack, looks solid AF. $700 is ALOT of money for a bike rack though... https://www.rigdsupply.com/products/rigd-ramblerack-1-heavy-duty-hitch-bike-rack

I would avoid putting casters on all 4 corners. When rolling mine in and out of the garage she tends to want to get all sorts of sideways. Makes it difficult to move with one person. I wish I had done fixed wheels on one side and casters on the other, like a shopping cart.

I have a rigd Ultraswing on my F-350 with HAWK. I'd say its good not great. It's extremely functional, but with the spare tire (35in E rated) and bike rack with two bikes, its quite a lot of weight and the end of the bike rack does turn into a bit of a diving board. I just take it easy on bumps...

Cblesser, Winter camping is incredible, super pumped for you! I use my FWC mostly in the winter with A LOT of lessons learned over 150+ nights in the cold. I can't agree hard enough with the recommendation to winterize your water system and use jugs. You can also have one dedicated gray water...

I had the same issue, removing the ducting only worked somewhat. The ultimate fix for me was to simply remove the plastic disk on the very front of the furnace that swivels and diverts air to the sides. Simple to do and my furnace works 4.0 at 8,500 feet where I usually camp in the winter. Hope...

I dont. The awning brackets use all three bolts, I only use the bottom two bolts for the jacks.

Looks great! Could you provide us some specifics about how you secured them? What type of screws and where were they placed? How did you locate the aluminum frame? I've been looking for something like this but I'm terrified of drilling into the wall. Thanks!

BFG K02 has never let me down. You'll find lots of people on here who swear by them, myself included. I've driven them in every type of terrain and they're great. Low road noise, long life, and fantastic in the snow!

Howdy, Ran into an issue in the woods this past weekend. 2019 Hawk with hot water heater. The heater was working 4.0 all weekend, had hot water at the sink with no issues, no leaks, good pressure hot and cold. The water pressure at the shower head outside was descent and plenty to take a...

when you say "failing" what are the symptoms? Will it refuse to light? Does the fan blow but no ignition? Does it light for a few seconds then go out? Any error lights (indicated on the control panel located behind the external cover on the outside of your furnace)?

Beating the drum on ventilation while sleeping. I sleep in 15-20 degree F all winter. Front vent open, rear powered vent on lowest setting blowing air out. Window by my head cracked. 0 degree sleeping bag and a down blanket keeps me toasty and I rarely wake up with condensation. Ear plugs...

I used awning brackets from Mule Expedition Outfitters. They mount to the jack brackets and don't interfere with the latches at all. Reall sturdy too! https://dasmule.com/collections/four-wheel-camper-parts-accessories/products/mule-four-wheel-camper-arb-awning-brackets-pre_order

That is one sexy lookin rig!!

I have a 2014 F-350 with Hawk, sits the same way as yours does in the bed with more distance from the bed rail to the camper in the front than rear. Ive checked the bed and underside of the camper and everything seems even. I thought it was weird at first but it didn't seem to be hurting...

Great idea ckent, would love to see what you come up with! This could also act as exterior storm windows. I get a lot of snow stuck in between the mesh screen layer and the clear window layer during windy snow storms which then melts and can lead to water getting inside. One of my biggest...

Blitz, Any pics of your conversion? Thanks!

+1 for air flow being restricted. I camp every weekend at 8500 feet have had nothing but issues. All issues pointed me towards a bad sail switch. After replacing 2 sail switches I deduced that was not the issue. The furnace works fine at home at 4000 feet, but up in the mountains it just wont...

How has the ride been with the Firestone airbags, particularly off road? Are you running stock leafs? I just had Carli Kings installed with progressive coils but i'm not sure what to do about the rear leafs. My installer said he hates the way the airbags ride and suggested I continue with my...

I would recommend having a separate policy so the camper is covered for damage etc. regardless of if its on the truck or not, crazy things can happen. For how much the campers cost the insurance is relatively inexpensive. Hard to put a price on peace of mind IMHO. Congrats on your purchase!
