Hey WTW crew. I am working on planning a little bit of the yearly trip to Tahoe which takes place in a few weeks. We will be leaving after work on Friday night. Stopping in the Alabama Hills to camp for the night. Due to the heat we will most likely be up early and on the road again. Right...

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/rvs/3913750304.html Eagle. Looks to be decent. Not a bad Price.

I got one of these bad boys. Seems to work pretty well. No leaking from weather yet, but I find I don't use it as much as I thought I would.

I basically did the same thing. Good Luck!

Thanks for doing the "link work" for me Ski! It is quite a project. You'll need the hinges from the original panels, if they are not damaged. You also need the original panels for the template. You could probably just measure and cut out the 4 separate panels, then when they remove your...

Now that cheered me up! haha

I know EXACTLY what you are say'n! :D I need to come up with a new project on the Hawk ASAP!

Thanks for the kind words. I think Stan answered your questions. Good luck. Hope it works out. Feel free to ask questions anytime. We all are happy to help out.

Sounds like a blast! I would love to hang out with a number of fellow FWC owners for a weekend! Hopef ully the lady and I can swing it!

Yea that is a pre 1990. Technically they wont fit all newer trucks. Newer trucks, the tailgates are narrower but it all depends. What truck do you have? Best thing is to measure camper and truck. There are lots of threads on here on this subject. Also it might not clear the cab as cabs...

Yea, two jacks are fine. They are different than the 4 corner hydraulic jacks. I actually prefer them as that is what I have to get the camper on and off. Here's the link. Brophy Camper Jacks They are at the bottom of the page. Stable with only two.

Hi Kidd! Welcome to the forum and congrats on the camper. You will like it! No surprise on the fridge. Every older (90's) 3-Way propane fridge I have owned (3 now) have just never worked right. My suggestion is get a new one. Other than that just keep on tinkering with the camper and...

1990 Hawk in Thousand Oaks CA. Looks like a great fixer upper. Exactly what I started out with. http://ventura.craigslist.org/cto/3846869670.html

Thanks! Yup as Overland said. Full custom color match paint. The black was rustoleum black enamel. Holding up great so far! Details HERE on my build thread on expo. Great picts of the rig and white Mountains BTW! That place is great! Thanks!

That is a sharp looking Tundra! Figured I get another picture of mine on here. I need to get out and use it more!

There was a 4.9 outside Goleta/SB CA this morning. Shook things pretty well. Being a structural engineer I quite enjoyed it! :) Anyone else feel it?

That is funny Alley-Kat! I see that guy all the time at the beach when I jog after work. Quite a little setup he's got. He seems to always park in the same spot.

Looking forward to seeing this one! Our campers are very similar. I would HIGHLY recommend solar if you are going with a 12V fridge. Probably my best upgrade I did. I would move that one up the list. :D

I ended up extending the counter top to the wall. Then blocked out the window and store my stove and cutting boards there. Few picts. I premade this to fit and slipped it right in under the counter-top. Added a panel to match the old stuff. It blends in nicely. Overall shot of the...

Nice. Need to throw a pick up when it's on the truck. Thanks, Here is a shot of it on the truck. Link to my thread on Expedition Portal with more picts and a more thorough explanation of what I did.

Hey WTW Crew. I finally wrapped up the exterior re-furb of the camper. Lots of work. I removed everything except the door and windows. I took out basically every screw out one at a time, caulked the holes, and replaced the screw. Lots of sanding, cleaning, etc. New roof screws, new...

Thank you for the advice replies. I keep you all posted on how everything works out. Its quite a project! :D

Dan, Thank you for the thoughtful reply and response. My apologies on the delay. Been a rough few weeks of work. Anyways, yes I have the roof seam. Since these pictures I have removed and cleaned out all the old caulking. I am debating on using the product you mention. Im just not sure...

Hi WTW crew, Since I have pretty much finished the interior of the camper build, it is time to tackle the exterior maintenance before the 2013 trips start happening. I have a number of questions on what is the best way to do this. Roof: I have all new roof screws, and I hear taking each one...

SWEET LOOKING SETUP! Congrats! :D
