    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Unmounting a Hawk sloping driveway

    Haven't ordered my FWC yet and just trying to get all my concerns answered before I do. My plan is to dismount the camper (Hawk) on to a carrier after use and store in the garage. However, the driveway has a 3.5 deg slope to it. With all the experience here, I'm hoping someone has the same...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Installing and removing Hawk

    I'm new at this and still in the exploration stage of buying a camper. I'm pretty much decided on getting the Hawk to be installed on a F150. My question at this time is: How practical is it to install and remove the camper? I anticipate using the camper maybe 5-6 times per year but during those...
