Camped at Bowman Lake last summer and no restrictions (don't forget huckleberry bear claws at Polebridge). Get gas beforehand. You will love the Beartooth.

I can't find that old thread either on pop ups and griz that I posted and placed links (old content gone before 2013?). This what I recall, after the Soda Creek attack near Cooke City, MT the NFS closed campgrounds to pop up campers that had soft sides within 4' (or something) from the ground...

$400 and just a little better?

Did you buy it from Chris the dealer here in Denver? http://rockymountainfourwheelcampers.com If the above suggestions don't solve the problem check with him. He is a great resource.

For comparison, my truck which is a 2500, came stock with those same tires and the factory sticker on the door jam says 60 lbs front and 70 lbs rear. Great ride and handling following those specs.

Do you have a rubber bed mat? On my Chevy I have a LineX spray in liner with a rubber bed mat on top of that. In 9,000 miles I only had to snug em up once at the 100 mile mark. I second the hand tight and a half turn with a stubby screw driver.

This: http://beprepared.com/tote-able-toilet-seat-lid.html?sc=GOOGLELA&oc=GOOGLELA&gclid=CO7o3IOo6r0CFbFFMgodIS8A5g and a Lowes 5 gallon bucket and some cat litter fits under the seat in my Hawk. My wife likes it better than my previous solution.

Congratulations! Glad to have been able to help bring you into the fold. Great job on the option list......and you may be the first here with a wind mill?

Best "want to buy ad" I have seen. Hope you find what your looking for.

Anyone going to http://www.overlandexpo.com? I never seem to have the desire to venture out of CO but I'm thinking it is time to broaden my horizons. Middle to end of May including Moab, SE Utah, Expo and the North Rim. I keep reading about these areas.....guess it is time to go while the snow...

Good to hear they are doing that now.....yours must be newer than mine?

Yep, have never had mine off. Don't know what is behind there....probably couldn't figure out how to get it back on. :(

Some camper builders actually weigh the final product as built....Hallmark for one comes to mind. In my case, the Hawk with the jacks on, weighs twice what the sticker indicates. To my mind that is a problem that should be addressed industry wide. On edit, from the Hallmark web site: "True Dry...

2012 Hawk, dual batteries, furnace, 110L two way frig, couch, stove, sink, etc. At the scales, dry, empty, and jacks removed: 1,330 pounds. I haven't checked fully loaded but probably around a ton then add dogs and humans. With my truck I have around a 3,000 pound payload capacity....I'll...

Best advice I received when I picked my camper was to NEVER use that thing to lock the camper from the outside. I did once and Chris was right....thought I'd never get back inside. Threw the keys away and I ONLY use the household style deadbolt for an exterior lock.

You know you have all bases covered....truck, camper and a Harley. Fold down the windshield, leather flying helmet and goggles. Matching outfit for wife and or dog? :D Love that truck!

Damn, I believe you are the first one here with a convertible truck. Can hardly wait to see a picture of the camper mounted and the top down on the truck!

Maybe ask Chris for any recomendations? If it was me I would wait and let Chris do it.....too many hacks out there!

Link to previous thread on air compressors: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/8248-portable-tire-compressors/?hl=compressor My Hi-Lift has also been assigned a corner in the shed. Too unwieldily, heavy and with my new truck I'm not sure where I could even use it without destroying...

Some random thoughts: • Leveling blocks - I just cut up some 2x6s and stuffed them in the tie down hatches • 25' extension cord has been long enough for me and have never needed adapters • I'll second the air pump • Short garden hose for the sink drain • Two 12' water fill hoses • Shovel, axe...

From FWC: "Although spray-in bed liners (such as Line-X, Rhino Liner, etc.) and/or rubber bed mats are not necessary, they do help protect the truck bed long term.”Spray-On” bed liners or a simple rubber bed mat will prevent damage to the truck bed and prevent the camper from shifting in the...

With a 1800 lb payload and a FWC shell your in much better shape than most. In an overloaded condition the first point of failure is usually the tires. I would definitely go with load range E tires and see how it handles. You can deal with rear suspension upgrades later if necessary. To...

Wow....I'm impressed and embarrassed. Did you just retire? My "spring-ing" consisted of a exterior mounted beer bottle opener and some interior stick on 3M hooks.

2012 Chevy LTZ 2500HD 6.0 gas 4x4 crew cab with a Hawk (1300 dry, around a ton loaded) 13 to 16 MPG depending on how hard I want to push it. 36 gallon tank, so my range till walking is 468 to 576 miles. Real world.....my bladder range is more like 200 to 300 miles. :)

Fitment of camper to truck, old to new and new to old, gets confusing fast. FWC has a guide to help: http://www.fourwheelcampers.com/index.php/shopping-tools/fit-guide/ Nice truck, is that the sought after LBZ Dmax?
