What are you trying to spray inside the camper while your sink is covered? For instance I want to be able to have some cold water to heat up for coffee in the morning, and some hot water to wash up before going to bed (I would use a portable wash basin), while my partner is in bed. It doesn't...

I have a 2011 Hawk with hot water heater, extended bed (king slide) and flush appliances (required for the king slide). I't's great for someone tall like me to sleep parallel to the road, but the only drawback is that the extended slide covers the sink. I'm thinking I could run a hose and spray...

Nice! Did you screw the supporting plate right in the middle of the table top? Maybe if you move it a little bit you'll be able to swing it around so that its fully over the short end of the couch, without having to move the leg. Herve

Has anybody successfully installed the Lagun table in a couch (not dinette) configuration? Can you post pictures and your experience? Thanks! Herve

Thanks for all the replies. I have a 2000w generator so I'll keep using that for the air conditioner. I was just wondering if powering it using an inverter was a good idea or not for occasional use. It seems doable but not a good idea so I won't design my solution around that. I'm sure I'll end...

Oh, I like where you put the awning crank handle and table leg. I was thinking of putting the same inverter you have. Is there a reason you installed it outside and not inside the cabinets? Not enough room or for heat dissipation? I haven't looked at that yet. Thanks, Herve

Yes, that's a lot of current! It's 4.9 amps at 115V so 47 amps at 12V. But if I run the truck engine at the same time, then I would be able to use the inverter to power the AC without draining the batteries, isn't it? I'm thinking of getting a 1000W inverter that is rated 2000W surge. The AC...

Who needs a camper bike RACK when you can just have a camper BIKE? http://gizmodo.com/5899053/you-can-pull-the-worlds-smallest-pop+up-camper-with-your-bike Herve

In case it wasn't clear, the place I ordered from is http://foamorder.com They have a store in San Francisco. And they have a 10% coupon code on their website you can use at the store too. Herve

Yes, Antony Chabot campground wold be great. That's were I took my camper for its first night out :) Site 69 is the best, no pun intended. Herve Too bad Anthony Chabot Regional Park campground is closed on weekdays until May 1st. It is open on Friday (2pm) to Sunday (noon) though. Here's...

I tried the Revolution 1141-250NL. They were pretty bright and because of the shape of the bulb, it would illuminate one side more than the other. Not a big deal unless you are very OCD about your camper ;) For interior lighting, I will keep my recommendation of keeping the FWC incandescent...

BTW I would not recommend these bayonet to g4 adapters if you plan to use the interior lamp housing that comes with the FWC by default as in my pictures: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fspecs%2FG4BP-G4-adapters.htm Reason: even though they are...

Thanks for the detailed explanation K7MDL! Yes, I have the breaker / fuse panel. Pods8: I was thinking of putting a 1000w inverter. I have dual batteries. I might try this and report back. Could take a few months, it is not at the top of my (very long) camper todo list! On this topic, I also...

Hi, Has anybody tried to wire an inverter so that the AC current is on the existing camper AC sockets? It seems possible with a device like this: http://www.xantrex.com/power-products/default/inline-transfer-relay.aspx The FWC is 30 amps DC but only 7.3 amps AC as far as I understand: they...

Hi, It is finally snowing in the Sierras and I am here with my camper. I have the following problem: the rear door locks freeze, with ice inside them. It was only with great delay and difficulty that I have been able to open the doors, and now I am concerned about locking them again under...

Hi, As I said in my previous post, I found the foam of the bed way too firm and I was not sleeping well. After multiple tests, I found a foam be I am very happy with: 3 inch of ILD 34 foam with 1 inch of ILD 24 foam on top. 4 inch of ILD 34 was too firm and I was bottoming out on 4 inches of...

Sorry for the late reply: I got the single led sensibulb here at that price: http://www.semarine.com/store/product.php?productid=517&cat=217&page=1&js=n The picture shows a double LED but it was indeed single. I didn't know about the difference before your post. Looks like the double LEDs are...

I tried a few and decided on the sensibulb because: - not too bright - angle wide enough and e=in every direction, it doesn't look weird. It was the most expensive though. I would highly recommend the sensibulb for inside, but for outside it's a bit over doing it. See my test pictures here...

I found a trailer wing at a yard sale. It is big but comes on and off quick. It does work well and stops all wind noise. Bill, how do you like how the trailer wing you got attaches to the truck? Is it as convenient as a roof rack attachment? And, as Missing Link asked, is it improving mpg...

I may try to build one this weekend too. I'm thinking of using clear plexiglass and a yakima roof rack and U bolts. On a 2nd gen Toyota Tundra. Has anybody used plexiglass for that? How thick?

I got a FWC with the incandescent lamps and tried a few different options for LED replacement bulbs. My main concern was to have a warm white, similar as much as possible to incandescent. I found the fluorescent and LED light option that FWC have a too harsh ("cool") white color. I got LEDs...

Hello. I am a brand new owner of a Hawk. Wow!!! Will post pics soon. The bed is really hard. I see 3 options: 1/ replacing the foam inside the cushions with softer material (such as what you suggest: 1/2" of memory foam on top of 2 1/2"s of standard foam) => need to cut the foam to fit in the...

I had to change rear struts to 60lb to help compensate for the addition of a 55lb fishing kayak that now rides on the roof, along with a 100 watt solar panel, fishing pole holder, dual Fantastic fans, a 4' aluminum ladder (to get the kayak off & on with), and a high power WI-FI...

I have seen good reviews of this one: Engel wireless thermometer (http://www.sierraexpeditions.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=34). I don't have it (well I don't have the camper yet either). Herve
