Thanks for the heads up

I guess I have been spoiled in the last few years,between the rear view camera ,the bumper sensors and lane assist :) Tom>tom Navigation :) and all the other computer gadgets A leisurely Sunday drive "Spoke .any thing on the sensors :) " Tom .Find a way out of here :) "Engineering ,more power...

Screen door is on my list.Sliding front window might be useful if your truck as a sliding window as well.Actually thought about deleting the window all together, it will serve no purpose for me that I can think of, but it more than likely will interfere with one of my ideas I had about a...

Fridge looks very nice.How is your venting system set up. I have mine with a bottom 40 sq.in vent /30 min recommended, pulling the cold air to the back pushing the air past the condenser at back and pushes the heat out the top vent.This supports the natural convection of heat from cold (bottom)...

It looks great,safe and happy travel be with you on your journey. All I have is my build plans to looks at,only so many things I can do to a square piece of paper , only 200 plus sleeps to go :)

I have been using a NovaKool 2600 for a couple of years now ,very low amp requirements and quiet.Even came with a ice tray with a tight lid for ice making without the mess :) Already have the spot mapped out for transfer to my shell build :) http://www.novakool.com/...

I really need to try opening some of your roofs. Even before I put the struts on I never thought it was back straining to open mine. I wonder if the new ones are heavier. I am hoping that it is an acquired knack ,the only experience I have is the video .It seems to be the push out at the front...

He got lucky, not to much traffic on the way to work that day :)

Thanks a lot ,just what I was looking for. Very much appreciated.

What would be involved in a basic hawk shell installed on a F150. I thought the campers came with factory eye bolts bolted through the floor,drill four holes drop camper in ,bolt her in and the camper wiring would attach to my existing 7 wire factory plug on the bumper . What am I missing...

Looks very nice ,very efficient and user friendly. Is the bed bigger than usual or do the lift assist normally sit inside the bed.That is the first clear picture that I have seen of the lift assist with the bed pulled out.Was hoping they would sit on the very outside edge of the bed.

13 years does not seem like a very long time for the plywood to rot .I have a 25 year old stick trailer and the floor plywood is as solid at day one. Did you notice if your plywood was painted or wolmanized . May be I will see about wolmanised plywood for my new build

FX4 there must be someone in your part of the country who has a Hawk.Put an ask request on the members lounge or private forum.Might get a hit. Frank I have been looking no luck yet.I did see the outside of one that was in a campsite not to long ago.Nobody was home.The outside did look nice :)...

It sure would make my purchase easier on the brain ,if I could go and see a live Hawk :) I gots to get a passport ,this year for sure ,no more procrastinating .

Thanks all for your input and advice. I think I will order without the assist and need be install the outside helpers. The wee woman does not like the intrusion on the lift assist on her bedroom suite :).

I have read the how to install and the description of roof assist .Still not clear to me. When I watch the video on raising the roof it seems that the demonstrator is not struggling and it is a simple thing to do. Have the roofs become heavier over the years ? Is it more peoples are carrying...

More complications. Today I noticed the following "The Ford F150 has the deepest bed in the industry at 23 inches. Therefore, a Hawk built for the F150 will sit six inches above the side of the access cab Tundra. Any other Hawk that is not built specfically for a Tundra will sit 4 inches above...

Speaking as someone who likes to read in bed, would I like more room? Sure. Is it a bit cramped for reading? Yes. Is it a deal breaker? No. A camper isn't like living at home, you make the best of it. Is getting up at 2am to pee and looking up at the stars and forgetting why you got up part of...

Thanks for the input all. Looking around more, I have found a lot of variance in cab over head room from all types of camper type . Some BIG TC had as much as 4 feet .Most class C are around 30 inch. One TC pop up had a wee 23 inch. So I guess FWC is walking the middle of the pack at 27/28...

I am now looking into something more comfortable than a pillow e.g. Therma-a-rest Trecker Lounge Chair or the Travelchair Paddler chair. If you tilt these back you get a more comfortable position, better back support and maybe less headroom needed. Check out the overhead light before you spend...

minor hijack,I really liked "me wife"! A bit of the pirate in ye? We all be rum smuggling pirates in New Scotland :) Thanks for the Measurements Stan.As long as it does not affect the canvas ,more would be nice.I will ask Gary about a price quote next time we speak/email

You can get an additonal 2 inches with that option from All Terrain Campers. ""Extra 2 inches would be nice ",says the Wife with a big grin on her face. :) Kidding aside,does ATC have a Canadian depot and installers .That is an important factor for me ,when it comes to purchasing from the...

Thanks HR,appreciate the info. Just measured me wife and she will fit at 32 :) My Hawk is still in the ordering stage ,I better pencil in a bunk light

Google will not tell me. What is the height of the top bunk from mattress to ceiling.Will my wife be able to sit up to read in bed. Thanks for your help
