individual units mean if 1 fails the other still works. dual units if 1 fails... well you get the idea. Another thought, LPG should be low. LPG = heavier than air. I'm not sure in CO, but I would think mid to high in the cabin would be better.

I tried the search but couldn't find anything. I'll post with pic's and info after I pick up the camper. I'm going for it as far as happijac's are concerned and am hoping for the best.

Here's Ruby in the back of the jeep after a day body surfing at The Lost Coast.

Scott Where did you do the search on damage? I hope to pick up the hawk next week. week of the 8th. I've been dealing with Tom at FWC and he's been great to work with. The idea we came up with is using the brackets the jacks mount to.This should put the eye bolts far enough out not to be...

If you can lock 1 side, that should be more than enough. I'm going with happijac and that's what they use. I'll bet I have 10,000 miles off road with a full size truck camper and have never had a turn buckle come loose. I've hade to tighten them as the camper set in. I also have a trailer...

PODS8 Have you thought of using a star washer. They have little turned up metal "stars" on either the inside or outside of the washer. They take a lot less pressure to lock up. May not need to get a wrench in there. Hand tight may be enough.

I'm planning on using happijac. The eye bolts on the jack brackets. I think it will be easier to keep an eye on them and keep them tight.

good point is right I never thought of it that way. Down it is then. That's why these sites are so great. Many minds wandering along the same path.:thumb:

So, you guys are storing your camper in the down position. It's a bunch wetter here in Northern Cal. If it were wetter and cooler would you still go that way? Oh, and thanks for the link!

I'm hoping to pick up our new Hawk the end of next week or the first of the following. Going through the checklist. As I can't leave it on full time, how do you guys think is the best storage system? Of course indoors is best. Mine will be outside, so I'm looking at cover options...

I had a 9.5' alpinlite camper that tipped the scales at about 3200 lbs loaded. With a lot of off road ( very slowly) and about 150000 miles ( lot of towing at 10k lbs) my 97 f250 had cracked (all the way) the frame over the rear axle. I also replaced front end parts and transmissions on a...

I'm wondering if wing nuts would be an option?

I looked at the 1 in sl as well and have just ordered one. I went through the same thoughts and have had a fwc in the past. IMO #1 go with the extended #2 i had cable on my last but went with jacks on this one #3 Fantastic fan is a must have #4 I went with tracks (options are good to...

Thanks for the heads up!!!!!!!!!!

I would try to make the top and bottom washers a little different size to help spread the stresses over a larger area.

Thanks for all the well wishes! I'll post as soon as we pick it up. Planning a south eastern Cal. x western AZ trip asap in March. Hope the wildflowers will wait for us. I'm sure the tundra is a great truck and plenty of truck for the camper. But if you want to tow 10,000 lbs with or...

I'm in the San Fransisco area. And to fisherman, I have to say to each their own, But I for one would rather push a ford than drive a dodge or chevy

My name is Keith and I just placed my order for a new Hawk. It'll be mostly loaded and placed on a 2008 Ford 250 ccsb. Expecting her to be ready for pick up mid March. More to follow.:D
