We really like out Kestral model. On a recent canyonland trip with some friends who bought a Hallmark pop-up, our lighter weight rig was able to fly over the rough roads. Of course they had a much more plush rig but FWC owners are probably not developed campgrd folks. Bueno- 1. simplicity of the...

:D Just a comment. I did not read the alleged negative comments, but I do hope that we don't lose good members due to strong 'opinions'. I am also an ameteur photographer and have heard the arguments prod and con regarding enhanced photography for years (it was possible to do that stuff in the...

Awesome picture. Love that sky. Looking forward to seeing more....but probably not quite 2000 of them! thanks for sharing your adventure!

Hi, As Mark suggests on page 2, I was one of the folks who created prototypes before building the insides of my newly purchased shell. I built cabinets, etc. out of cheap wood and believe me it was very helpful in determining how things would fit and how it would look before I spent money on...

Sounds like you have a lot of fun ahead of you! I bought a 4-Wheel shell and did the whole inside myself. You don't necessarily need to use the same equipment the 4-wheel Camper uses unless there is size and fit issues. If you go to their website they have posted manuals for their various...

Ok...so your posting could have been a little more explicit. I went to the site and saw a bunch of jeeps but didn't see your product. Was there a more specific spot in this web site that I was supposed to be looking?

yukon that is a very nice job.looks clean and simple.do you use a cover or shield for the stove.thanks for the pics,frank gee i should have read more of the posts.my bad Hi, Yes. I bought two pieces of lightweight metal from Home Depot (approx 12"X18") and hinged them together. It...

Hi, I have an Eagle shell which I bought new and we thought hard about the table situation. The table can take up a lot of room. Also, when the weather is really good, we might want to sit outside. So, we went with a portable solution. We bought a really nice aluminum TV like table that...

In reply to previous question:...yep...I can use a sewing machine and have sewed things like misquito a netting . room to use with my camper in Alaska. But, I have to tell the truth, my wife did the sewing on this project. It really was not difficult at all ! It's not something that has to...

Being from the very 'moist' Northwest (Seattle area), I am concerned about moisture too. One thing that I have thought about doing is puttng a dehumidifier in the camper during some of those very rainy days. What a pain though. I went to Lowes and a few other vendors who typically provide...

Nice work on Hawk re-design. I did the same thing with my Eagle shell in the sense that I make it so that the Stove and Sink are usable with bed fully extended. We love it that way. No worries about stove location...I have a metal shield that I put up to keep from burning the side material.

For those wanting more details on what I did to make my own Winter Liner I am attaching two photos. 1. Photo #1: shows my liner partially rolled-up on a cardboard tube. This is how I store it. You can see how we stitched velcro on the top and bottom edges. Used home sewing machine...

Hi, I made my own version of the Arctic pac. I would say that the value of having it depends on when and where you camp and how much you care about running your furnace. I purchased the material from a company in Seattle area called Seattle Fabrics. They specialize in fabrics for outdoors...

Stan, Overall, I have been pretty happy with your website. Let me just tell you what areas I consistently looked at before I bought my camper from you: * Looked at photos of campers on various kinds of trucks (trying to decide which truck & which camper) * Looked at photos of inside of...

I suspect the reason that the thermostat is reading "LO" is not because of the thermostat, but because of the battery itself. When a small battery like that gets very cold.....it don't work so great. I have experience same situation and when I warmed up the battery, it worked as expected. Chris

Dear about-to-be-Hitched, Hopefully, you know enough about your bride-to-be to know if she likes camping (and how much)...and if she would like camping in a minimum facilities environment (i.e. a camper without a TV, shower, microwave oven, foldout walls, hot tub etc etc.) If you don't know...

I don't remove the camper. It is on there always. I sometimes use my truck to go to work and it goes with me (not a long commute). I bought the truck to specifically be my 4WC vehicle.

This weekend, while exploring one of the upper-end neighborhoods of Seattle (Queen Anne Hill) I came across this really old camper. It sure looked like it might be a very early version of 4-Wheel Camper. What was interesting is that it looked like someone had taken a International Harverster...

Thanks for sharing that article Stan. I suspect many of this group can relate to what this photographer was expressing. Chris

I just returned from a solo 6-day trip up to northern Idaho and Montana. Tried sleeping 1 night with bed not pulled out and found I didn't sleep too well cause head and feet hitting each side of camper (not that tall, but it's an Eagle). Chris

Looks very good. A constant theme I keep seeing when people are making their own solutions is that they attempt to make it so that the two seats face each other, instead of the big long seat that faces one direction. That was my biggest reason for buying a Eagle shell....to create my own...

Love 395 ! That photo is awesome and sure makes us miss Eastern Sierra's (now living in WA) ! I was a little surprised by Lqhikers posting that he's headed up to Kennedy Meadows. I am assuming that's at top of Sonora Pass which usually doesn't open this early. No snow in California? My...

Cool idea. Like the low-cost apprach. Yakama is just way too expensive. Recommend for sure that you use lock-nuts rather than lock washers. I agree with one of the other readers who mentioned UV light. I suspect that plastic over time may become brittle. Wonder if there is UV stopping paint?

Awesome Rig Wow, love that rig for your camper. Probably zero miles to the gallon but I suspect you'll be pretty tired after the first couple of miles on the road. Thanks for sharing your awning. Cool. :thumb:

Congratulations! I know you will enjoy your camper as much as we do. Chris
