We also sure would like to know...for recreation reasons, but also because we have our Old Town wood/canvas canoe under restoration by a shop located about 7 miles into Alberta and we wish to retrieve it. I am glad to hear any and all news about the border. Many thanks David Graves

Hi Again Chet By way of a reference for you, the folks involved in this thread are very experienced and very interested in you having success with mounting your camper. The FWC factory, while stupid busy now, also has your very best success in mind. As an example of this, a longtime FWC...

With Respect, you are thinking WAY too hard. Happy Easter. David Graves

Howdy Many larger truck stops will have scales where you can pay to have your rig weighed....you will have to get some factory spec for the weight of your truck in order to deduct from the total and determine weight of the camper. In Oregon there are free roadside commercial scales where you...

Howdy I also have my FWC Hawk shell thru bolted to frame at front and the forged turnbuckles at the rear. I did this because I REALLY wanted the front fender well space uncluttered by the turnbuckles. I positioned the camper just where it needs to be then thru drilled up through existing...

I will try to get an image...may need to email it to you...Will PM if so.

Hi Jon Maybe we should buy your truck !! I echo many of your comments about this vintage Silverado. I mostly mothball this one with the Hawk...use it only for the longer trips we (used) to take to the SW or Baja etc. Thanks for the insights....I need to start doing more of my own repairs as...

The 8th digit is K ... 350 with auto trans in K2500 You folks from Colorado are Awesome ! DG

Howdy Zoo Got a better read of code..... Code 32 only.... DG

Thanks Sir I will do a better job of reading the codes next time around. Will it display more than one code if more than one fault exists? David

Howdy Zoomad So far I have only been able to read a code 14. I get one blink followed by two blinks and two blinks. ( is this code 14 or code 22 ? ? ) If I understand correctly I can only read one code...need to correct it and then any other fault code will appear. Code 14 is coolant sensor...

Many thanks I knew about the paperclip jumper. When I did that the dash light did not flash. Mind you, truck was not missing then...just the Service Engine Soon Light came on. I have printed the Code list On the road today for a delivery.... More later. DG

Thanks Patrick We live rural and the local parts house only has an OBDII device.

Is anyone here familiar with reading a GM 1993 On Board Diagnostic plug in ? Our long reliable K2500 Silverado has an intermittent miss and signals a code but I have not been able to read it. Many thanks Old truck....old owners. David Graves

Yep

Right on...sometimes it is best to keep it simple. Not many know but there are several small specialty companies that make custom seating and acoutrment for over the road trucks. When I was driving long haul for one of the road racing teams we used an outfit in Indiana that was able to do...

Craig You might consider getting some seats from a 1997 Toyota T100. They are absolutely the most comfortable long days seats I have seen OEM. We used to regularly make 500 mile days (6 of them ) for the trip to VA and I can actually walk and stand up straight after these jaunts. Good luck...

Howdy and welcome to WTW We own a Hawk that started as a shell and our use of the camper also involves wanting lot of indoor space. As a result we have two opposing bench seats and I also cut the rear overhead cabinet in half and put one half on the drivers side rear. This allows us to sit...

Just have the flatbed transport your truck and camper to where you want to off load the camper.......then they can offload the combo, your can jack the camper and then they can load the truck back. Easy Peezy. Sorry for your misfortune. David Graves

I visited the Mazanar site on my first trip west from Virginia...during college back in the stone age. David Graves

Hi Craig My shower is a bag solar shower....sometimes it is inside :)..... You could put the roof bow on the side or where ever you want....very common boat roof brackets. I don't have a photo but it is just some very lightweight aluminum from some or other boat top. 1/2" EMT conduit would...

There are many solutions to a shower enclosure. We use a small aluminum roof bow that is about 48 " wide. It temporarily attaches to rear of camper spanning the door and suspended by straps from raised roof. Simple shower curtain hangs on this. Solar shower lays on roof top. One can open...
