That truck NEEDS a camo paint job.

I think the actual opening of the door is 24"

Very nice. Now when will we see FWC in Africa? We have a dealer in South Africa. http://www.pickupcampers.co.za/

Here is what I'm thinking... I think that will work just fine.

We now pre-install the anchor plates for the landing pads. Seen here as the four rectangular nuts. All you would need to do is screw down the landing pads.

Jason didn't get to go play... :P Haha...yeah, Chicali and I have stayed behind and we are heading out tomorrow.

It is 5/8" ply. Length is 96" Width at front 48" Width at rear 57-1/2"

Yes, that should work fine.

So, what would be your advise now, on my install. There appears to be no room above my frig for a vent on the inside of the camper as your picture shows. Should I block off the outside vent, or put some weather strip around the frig from the inside? I would just put weather strip at the...

We were venting the Waeco's directly to the outside but as we got feedback about cold air returning to the inside through the bottom of the refrigerator, we have since closed that vent (it only acts as an access panel) and added venting slots above the refrigerator as shown in the picture.

Nice job, Soughdough! We have actually done a couple of these. We refer to it as a front settee. You can see it Redman's photos in this thread

The picture that WaltK provided is typical of the passenger side of a Hawk. The vertical frame piece that is forming a "T" with the 5" channel piece above may be your best point of attachment. This vertical frame piece is where the fire extinguisher is attached. The 5" wide channel piece that...

Could you put up a photo showing the drain?

Question is if FWC is making the mentioned drain a standard part of their build ... Yes! This is required by NFPA 1192 Section 5.2.6 Ventilation of Compartments Containing Propane Containers.

Is this what you are looking for?

Since your fresh water drain is right there, you should check to see if you have a hole in the line or crack in the fixture.

... the metal shaft part is always pointing down... That might keep the seals inside the plastic part in good condition... That is exactly how the manufacturers of these struts recommend they be mounted. Shaft down so that the seals stay lubricated.

I would definitely screw it to the bottom of the camper and throw some insulation in there while you are at it!

OK but do you have specifics? I'm trying to get at the details of how they did that. Whenever we have seen a crack in the frame, like what is shown in the first picture, it has always been at the weld that is noted in the second picture. The 1x1 tube at the top of the door opening no longer...

The big strength problem in this area has been that the frames were cracking under heavy use. If all they did was go to a rounded door then this problem has not been addressed at all. Unless I am really not understanding and the rounded door actually takes stress off the frame here? I read what...

Can you confirm that the frame around the door has been reinforced? It seems like someone told me the rounded door was just for cosmetic reasons. Maybe stan can post a photo of the newly designed frame. Yes, the frame around the door has been changed for reinforcement. The rounded door...

Here is the latest on this project. You can catch a short news clip here http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/11/07/oc-man-creates-the-ultimate-survivor-truck/

Has anyone seen/know-of a compatible thermostat that has a really-low minimum set-point -- something lower than 50°? Found this one http://www.prothermostats.com/product.php?product=174480 I haven't used it, but it is for heat only and goes down to 25*.

Unfortunately FWC doesn't have an example of the front dinette at their factory. We have had the Front Dinette Fleet in our showroom for some time now and will soon have a Front Dinette Grandby!

Price for the new swing away dinette table is $250.
