Your seller was correct, the floor should be supported when off the truck. Probably the cheapest route: http://www.jaysnest.net/x-braces.htm I put mine on a cheap motorcycle trailer.

Yep....the "misc" expenses are the wild card. I am very aware of my limitations and thus I'm glad I went with the ready to go version. My hand is almost healed, how you doing Bill?

Texan, if you haven't traded for a 4x4 yet here is another great easy road, Marshall Pass: http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=323 Some nice boon docking spots near the top. I hope your picking up your camper more towards summer or mid summer? The Colorado mountains are fond of...

Guanella Pass: Homepage Boreas Pass: Montezuma and Peru Creek: In the same area Webster Pass: Trails – TrailDamage.com This one is tougher than the others. You can make it to just below tree line, just don't start up the switchbacks. Also don't go anywhere near Radical Hill or Redcone...

Guess new and improved isn't always better?

Captain, Your pictures of the lock made me curious so I took a look at my 2012 Hawk. My dead bolt has the full 1" throw and the interior frame has been notched. Also it appears my door frame lip is on the inside facing the door while while yours is on the outside? As far as interior...

Elective surgery, something called Viiking disease or Dupuytren's Contracture. Common in people of Nordic heritage. Couldn't put a glove on or put my hand in a pocket. I guess 40% of Norwegian males get it. I really miss my right hand! Bill and I will have to compare notes on PT.

Bill, I can commiserate with you about your fingers. This has been a tough winter on extremities.

Texan, I hope you got your order in. FWC maybe running out of campers :o Chris must of had a good show, from his Facebook page: "Thanks to everyone who came to see our booth at the International Sportsman's Exposition (ISE) in Denver this weekend. And a special thanks to the 9 (maybe 10) new...

If you really can't bear having a 3/4 there are better choices in the half ton market. Ram has the worst payload ratings of the big three. GM has a 2100 pound payload version: http://www.chevrolet.com/silverado-1500-pickup-truck/specs/capabilities.config%3Ddouble_cab_standard_box.html Ford also...

Looks like the Ram only has a payload of 1,200 to 1,600 pounds depending upon the model. My Hawk was 1350 dry and empty with the jacks removed. I'd listen very closely to what the manufacturer says: "Ram (Chrysler) suggest that the 1500 series are not built for truck campers."

No thingies or crankies for me......yet. Am I the only one who uses his head? Squat, place head under crossbar and dead lift. Just don't wear a ball cap with the button on top though. Disclaimer: My roof is a clean slate.

No personal experience but it should be the same bus all the way to downtown. From the link: "If you need to check route and schedule information, view maps, or plan your SkyRide trip while at DIA, visit the SkyRide sales counter located in the ground transportation area on the west side of the...

RTD Skyride bus service to and from downtown is $11.00 one way. Here is a link: http://www.rtd-denver.com/skyride.shtml Chris, the local dealer, is a great resource and a great guy. My purchase experience from him was excellent! And yes, it seems like DIA is halfway to Kansas.

The Petstep folds in half to about 36' x 17" so it looks like it might just fit into the bottom of your porch? I kept mine on the floor of my Hawk. It fit nicely between the couch and the cabinets. They have a textured, rubber like surface for paw traction so ice chests and whatnot placed on...

My highway mileage has been in the 13 to 14 MPG range with 1400 lb dry Hawk on full time. My best mileage was 16 driving through Yellowstone at 45 MPH. The newer GMs with the six speed transmission have really helped the gas mileage compared to the previous 4 speed. No personal experience with...

Nice porch. Tough watching our hounds age.....this is what I use for both humans, wives and K9s: http://www.petstep.com Light, strong and my dogs loved it. Wife not so much.....called it a handicap ramp. I like it!

Truck battery is isolated from a draw from the camper. You can kill the camper batteries but the truck will always start.

I read that too. I compared the major players here at the show in Denver and the Phoenix came in dead last, in my opinion. The fit and finish on the show model wasn't great. Too bad he didn't he didn't find us.....

I wouldn't worry about it. That is how FWC installed my new 1983 Grandby into my 1983 Chevy pickup back in the day. Over twenty years of off road use and no problems what so ever. Never once even loosened. I would suggest a rubber bed mat, elevator bolts (4), fender washers and locking nuts...

These guys here are serious about it with their 4,000 pound campers: http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/26696184.cfm On edit, I see you posted the same question there. If it was mine I would do as Wandering Sagebrush suggested.

You gotta love Stan.....Thanksgiving Day and he is putting out fires. Thank you for all you do!

Just went out and checked my 2012 Hawk. When I turn off the main power switch the orange led power indicator goes out on the propane/CO monitor. I haven't noticed any battery drain at all with the main switch off.

Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Coghlans-8770-Pack-Grill/dp/B001OPHA0S/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1385234443&sr=8-5&keywords=folding+grill

x2 I went with the fluorescent as a compromise between incandescent and LED. I didn't like the price or harsh blue light of the FWC LED and the power use of the incandescent. I wonder where the fluorescent falls as far as power usage? I thought it was a lot less than incandescent?
