    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Outside window flap - anyone cut these off?!?!

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West FWC Hawk with mods

    Hi Tom, I enjoyed your pictures and upgrades you have made to your Hawk. I am buying my first 4WC the end of this month - 4WC Fleet Shell (75" wide). My question is about the stock mattress. Since you switched to a Hide-a-bed mattress I wonder how much support the stock one provides? Did you...

    Hi Everyone, Long time “lurker” here and an even longer time Four Wheel pop-up owner. Finally had time to put some picture together of my rig. 1990 Chevy K1500 (purchased new) It has so many modifications that I could right a book on it- if I had the time. It has a 1992 454SS engine...
