That shower curtain idea is grand! Hmmm. Another rod or so and you could have a very convenient awning. Double duty, just the way we like it!! Keep it up with the mods. Always good to see what other people think up. dave in Seattle

Guys, there are so many choices. Right now I am thinking new just because i will get many years of use and can make changes early. Didn't do that last time and got less enjoyment out of it. Pretty sure this truck will be used for a long time and will probably run it into the ground over...

Ok, still recovering from my truck mishaps. But, with encouragement from friends, I've decided to start looking for a new truck. Like a lot of other FWC users, I have a Hawk. Don't think this will change, but my brother keeps saying I should go for a Grandby and get more space. tempting...

Hi, all. Here is a good 'report' for your reading pleasure... Well, Finally getting around to processing a few pics of my recent truck mishaps... Last Monday, Labor day, I was driving home from the central cascades of Oregon, when I passed an accident and sped up to about 30 or so MPH. A...

Man, each iteration these seats just keep looking better. I almost wanna do the same thing. Will have to check one out in person. Keep the photos coming, y'all! Dave in Seattle

Dirty Dog: Thems some nice photos and great place to visit. Was up there last fall. Cold, windy, rainy with lots of sheep all over. I did the loop and liked the other half of the steens. Didn't make it to Hart Refuge, but did like the Alvord desert. Really cool to see both extremes from...

See the PM, guys.... Dave in Seattle

Nice route. Should be a lot of fun. here in Seattle, if you are planning to enter the big city, there is always time for at least a beer. I am in the city proper, so may not appeal to you. Do let me know Dave in Seattle......

Bill, Nice photos. A few questions... What lens did you use up at crater lake? Wide is wide. Very nice. Polarizer or any other filters? Do like the nice colors. Also, don't see any antennas on the rig.....work much radio on the road? 73 de N0XLW Dave in Seattle

Rally???? Hmmmmm some planning might be in order.... Dave in Seattle

nixfwc Gotta say, that is ingenious. Love the side table. I was thinking of doing the same, except I wanted it removable and probably attached to the jack mounts....fold down with chain support is brilliant. I have a awning on that side, so would be nice. If you open the slider side window...

KC: Nice write up and nice pics. It just goes to show, it is the photographer not the camera that makes the phots. Everytime I read one of your writeups it just makes me want to ditch work and hit the road. Stanley.....will have to look that one up... Thanks!! Dave in Seattle.

Wow, nice find. Seems almost everyone has a story like yours. Good luck and nice rig. Let the mods begin!!! Dave in seattle Hawk shell on a Dodge ram.....

fatpete: I have a stock yakima fairing on my dodge 1500 extended cab with hawk with nonextended bed. I have not noticed any difference with or without the fairing with regards to mileage. I do find the camper easier to clean with less bug guts on the front of the camper....Noise is a bit...

From a post in the Expedition Portal..... From down Under.... I am sure it could be adapted to FWC use.... Cool Dave http://www.rhinorack.com.au/AccSubCategory_Foxwing-Awning_Page_1_Accessory_Foxwing-Awning-Right-Hand_389_56.aspx

I've had this same problem in Rainy Seattle.... I tried looking for VLN. Never did find it. No one ever really admitted to buying it recently.....so then I was told to use seam sealer....the same stuff I use on my jackets and tents and such. Newer campers have better sewing and seam sealing...

Was down at Ruby beach on the western coast of WA, in Olympic national park. Yesterday, saw a very clean and nice FWC Eagle on a nice Toyota white tacoma. License plate I think from montana? Anyhow, the plate read "VAGA" So cool. No one around, but the rig was nice, clean and looked like it...

Nice to have such an inverter... As for microwaves... I have the WAVE, the portable DC/AC microwave. about 175 bucks, small, but portable and I can take it out if I don't need it. Eats a lot of juice. Probably would run the engine while I used it just to be safe. Still to run bigger wires...

Don't remember running boards. Didn't loot that close...... Oh well. Next time I will try to be in less of a rush. Dave in Seattle

I was in Roslyn, WA this past weekend having lunch when I spotted an ATC on a silver pickup parked on the road. Didn't see any markings. Was wondering if it belonged to anyone on the board. I was in a rush to get back to Seattle, so didn't leave a note. Anyone? Dave in Seattle

DD: Sucky story about the tires....Always good to talk about it AFTER the fact. Anyhow, I've had a couple of flats on trips to AK. The drive up the haul road IS brutal. not having 2 spares would be really unwise as the folks up there don't have a lot of patience for us tourist types....We...

i have a shady boy mounted on the passenger side of the camper, above the Hawk window. Works well, a little of a pain to setup, as you have to open it, then place the fiberglass rods in place, then tie it down. BUT it only weighs about 7 pounds. Nice weight savings. The other awnings are...

Finding a camping spot on the west coast of vancouver island can be tough. The national park campground is always full. There are some private ones like in Ucluelet.... You could drive down some logging roads and will find some nice little places to call camp but beware, a lot of roads still...

Ahhhh, a new Hawk. Would be so nice.... Some things are mentioned already, but just remember whatever you like to use when you car camp the old way will probably help out the new way. A lot of use the camper, but spend a lot of the time outside. Chairs, hammocks, nice awning or cover for...

Gosh, This reminds me when I was looking for my used Hawk shell. Just kept checking the online sites, finding craigslist seeming the best. AS soon as I saw it, jumped on the call and went right over to check it out. Offered on the spot. He honored the handshake. While I was looking at it...
