I guess the word is out that DrJ, 97grandby and 68 Siesta are related. A big thanks to truck camper magazine for doing the article on our family. And a special thanks to all of you who contribute to WTW - you've been a constant source of help, insight and ideas to fuel our truck camping passion.

When I switched from a 2500 Chevy to a 3500 Chevy I lost the tire pressure monitor system too. I asked my dealer about adding it on and they told me they did not have a kit for the 1 tons to do that. The dealer told me the same thing about the GVWR that PJorgen stated too.

I have loved having the tracks on my camper. I use them all the time. They now hold my solar panel and maxx trax. And I can carry by canoe around too. I think you will love the addition.

I'm not sure if anyone has ever done this mod. I've seen lots of exterior on demand water heaters but never a direct replacement. I'd love to see pictures of how it works if you end up doing it.

Bring an extra battery or two for the drill. I can go through more than one battery taking it off my camper dolly and putting it on the truck.

2 year old camper with only 6 nights in - that sounds like a winner. The propane can be used to run your outside stove. We do that for time to time. The mattress density has improved over the years and is much better. You won't know if it works for you until you try it out - but my 2015...

Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing.

I'm ready for this one to be listed on the Gear exchange!!!

That is one fantastic camper! I love it. I grew up in the camper - literally. So happy you have taken such good care of it over the years.

That's a great setup. I'm sure you could still find another buyer. But I totally understand wanted to keep it. I feel the same way about mine.

Nice!

I have owned a side dinette in a grandby - longer camper but the same length of a bed as is your hawk. The side dinette would not sleep an adult comfortably in my opinion. It would work for a 10 year old or younger kid but it's narrow and awkward to sleep on for an adult. I would not ever...

City of Rocks is a great location. One of my favorite local places to visit.

Stan - will the new awning be able to be retrofitted to current campers? I spoke with Equipt in Salt Lake City today. Sounds like this may be an option to do as a retrofit in the future. They may need some work done developing a bracket to use first. You can be put on a wait list with Equipt to...

Any link for that?

Hurray for the Idaho/Wyoming Rally! That would be fantastic and I'd love to come. I've been wanting to go to a rally for a long time but just a little too far away.

Actually some of our members do just that. The SurePower used by FWC can be bypassed by just connecting a wire between the separator, which some members have done before. The real danger is running down power when the truck is off so that you can't drive home. That is the real purpose of the...

I love the full length under the bed storage. That would be a terrific option for the slide in models. Stan - hope you are reading this!

I voted the same as Happyjax. Those were my 3 favorite mods too. Nice work!

Wow. I want one of those. Nice setup.

Can you tell us more about your trailer and your plans for it? It's a unique design and I'm curious why you designed it that way. I'm assuming it is a custom design?

I've been following some of your posts on overland expo too. You are setting up a fantastic camper. We'd love to see some pictures as you get it all put together!

Love your build out. Excellent work and well thought out. Nicely done!

I love your idea for a bunk bed and highly considered it in my hawk with a rollover couch. But I switched campers to better accommodate all of us - to the Grandby. We have a family of 6 - 4 adults and 2 kids. We can sleep all 6 of us in our setup. Grandby front dinette with a king slide. 4...

I bought and replaced the same one Stalking Light used after hearing their reviews on it. Great advice from him and others in that other thread. It seems to work much better than the factory one. Easy change out and inexpensive to do - like $30.
