    Do the trip to FWC and ATC to look at the models. Lots of ways to set your camper up. I would say you would be happiest with a Hawk size. I have a 2005 Tundra AC and a 2013 Hawk. Check out my Trip Blog and Camper Build in my signature line.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Options For Outside Thermometer?

    They hold up on rough roads but need to be dry. I had one under the side so it was out of the rain. However it died driving in a downpour. I now have a new sensor mounted in side the propane door. Not sure how good the reading is but close to outside.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Yosemite Housekeeping Units: Pop-top friendly?

    Housekeeping tents are side by side. You walk in from the paring lot. I am sure camping is not allowed in the parking lot. Maybe you could sleep with the top down. Picture below was from my April trip to Yosemite. I stayed in the tent cabins years ago, too noisy to sleep.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West wind noise while driving with truck camper?

    It is a pressure thing I am sure. Cracking a window cuts the noise or moving the heater vent to recirculate will reduce the noise. Neighbor down the street has a Tundra and Hawk like mine he said he has no wind noise. He does have an inflatable boot for his rear window pass through. A first...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West wind noise while driving with truck camper?

    Wind noise on my 2005 Tundra and my 2002 Hawk with short cabover was unbearable. WOP-WOP LOUD. Wind deflector made it go away. 2013 Hawk with large cabover was better. I still use the wind deflector and the Tundra is as quite as my Rav4.
