Have you been to the Gila and the Gila Cliff Dwellings? Good camping up and around there as well.

Last I looked on the price list it wasn’t there which was last week. I asked for one when I ordered my Hawk and just go “We don’t sell those”. But I heard they are easy to install and will probably a lot less. But did Geologist say they did it “no charge”? Are we talking about FWC!? :)

Thanks larryqp! Once again you gave me a wealth of information.

I went with Newpowa, the specs were good as was the weight and price. It’s been working quite well.

We received our Hawk Shell in October with just the heater and one AGM batt. I was wondering what to do about power as well. I went with the one battery because I knew I would go lithium eventually so decided to just run this one till it was gone. I also wanted to wait and see what my power need...

Rent it out to everyone wanting their truck bed back but don’t want to take the camper off. Where are you located?

Wow that is scary! Glad you are OK. But I also would bet that you got clipped by the trucks mirrors. I’m sure if you looked at the truck you could tell. There is damage don’t let them get away with it.

I figured Inwould throw in my “dumbed down rod case” . It spent the last 3+ years on my truck with a topper and Yakima bars and now onto the Hawk. Cost less than $20

OK I like that guy! Thanks

Hmmm. Not sure, I’ve only seen one in person and I think he just fabricated his own out of angle and stock as they are pretty pricy. But in looking for myself I noticed they do ask to notify them of the camper year since apparently the jack brackets got raised awhile back. Did you drill those...

I did not run a fuse to mine and I did not hook up the load. But my electrical needs are pretty simple. Maybe when I go Lithium and a Fridge/freezer I will hook it up, but between the Victron Bluetooth app and the battery monitor I have all the info my little brain needs. If you are looking for...

I assume you have a “new” camper? If so those videos are old and need to be labeled as such. I finally had to call FWC service department to clarify. I will have to go back and check my notes but there is no Load, the PV wires go to your controller and toward the back (on a Hawk Shell) was a...

I have been looking at these trying to figure out what to do for extra fuel too. Just wondering if it might be easier and maybe cheaper to return it and get the Wavian one? Have you mounted it?

Sure do miss that country! Thanks Bill

That box is the same height as the benches. The furnace and battery box sits 20 1/2” on top of that.

Well it is a problem, and it is a design flaw. The various FaceBook pages have multiple comments about this. The thing that got me to think about it was that we just got a new “smart” clothes dryer. We kept getting a fault code, or sometimes we would and sometimes we wouldn’t. The fault was for...

25 would be the side you face and 27 would be the side off the bench. Hence that little shelf that sticks out.

OK squeege4 the basics are mostly the same as above. I came up with: 77 1/2” across the back Benches 16” W and 22”H Passenger side bench 77 1/2” long Driver side bench 52 5/8” long Lower box (propane) 27” X 25” Furnace 20 1/2”x 25” Stove top 22 1/2”x 25 3/8 ( we don’t have the stove so the...

Last I looked the pic’s etc on the FWC site are old. The cabinets have changed (like that little niche at the back by the door is gone) I was kind of surprised when I picked mine up and had to rethink some of my plans. I do like the changes though. I think the basic dimensions are the same. I...

somewhat, in the fact that the first trip I tried it before we left, it came on and I shut it off. On our trip, turned it on in the morning, it fired up for a bit and shut off, never to fire up again. I started digging through everything. The other couple we were with has an older Fleet and he...

Here are some photos of how it looked after I scrunched the duct and one showing how the furnace sits off to the right with only a little space for the duct to go to center.

Many oh us with new Hawks have had the same problem. The problem most of the time seems to be that the furnace duct is going from right to center cutting off the airflow. A quick fix is to take the entire vent face and the duct work off. That worked for me the first time it happened. Next I...

I went up a little to 265/70 R18 Cooper AT3 XLT on my ‘07 Tundra and even with my Hawk Shell on it I am getting at least as good gas mileage than a I did with the old Michelin’s! And they are quieter.

You would have to put a hole in the through the propane box. Mine would go through the battery box. My plan was to pot some pipe insulation on the hose and slide it into position to seal the hole. And yes you would just have to make sure you turned off the propane at the stove and keep the...

I just use one of those T connectors from a sporting goods store, one side goes to the furnace and the other to the stove with about a 10 ft hose. I leave the tank in it’s box so I can also run the hose and stove outside to cook, where I do almost all my real cooking. I mostly just use a small...
