Saw this interesting Mitsubishi Fuso for sale in Pt. Reyes, CA. Pt. Reyes is in West Marin county, about an hour from San Francisco. It a 4x4 and could be an interesting project for someone!

Wow, that is ingenious! The only bummer is that you can't be eating or hanging out at the dinette while someone is in the bed.

Hi, I know that quarry; however I did find a scale at the transfer station (dump)kiosk in San Rafael. No charge if you don't need a certificate. I weighed in at 7540 lbs with camper and family, half tank of fuel. When I start adding water, food,personal gear, and toys, I'll easily be over...

The only public scale in Marin County that I have found is at the gravel quarry in Nicasio. It is located at 6800 (I think) Nicasio Valley Road, just past Rancho Nicasio headed West. You take a right through a gate/cattle guard and onto a dirt road. There really aren't any signs, just have to...

I'd like to check the weight of my Hawk too. Where is a good place to find a truck scale, preferably at no cost. Landfill or refuse transfer stations? Dave H Mill Valley, CA 05 F150, 06 Hawk 72 Jaguar XJ6 03 Jaguar S-Type

Thanks for the reply's...very helpful. My truck handles the weight fairly well...much, much better than my T100 did. However, what I am bummed about is that the numbers given me from FWC and the actual weight don't add up. The sticker on the back of the camper says that the weight with full...

At the risk of being redundant, as this topic has probably been beaten to death...has anyone weighed their FWC Hawk? I have a 2008 with most options except solar, and when the weight of all options (as given to me by FWC) + the stated weight of the camper (as shown on the sticker by the back...

If you do want to camp I would strongly recommend this campground. It's along Putah creek...probably not more than 40 minutes from FWC. It's quiet, beautiful, and right along a Putah Creek, which is an outlet from Lake Berryessa. Great camping...both primitive and with a full hook-up option at...

I was in the same situation as you after doing a lot of research re payload capacity. I have had Toyota's for many years and love them, but wanted a 3/4 ton. I just picked up my new F250 factory ordered gas engine yesterday. Putting the camper on this weekend. Seems the way to go, but I...

Thank you all for your valuable input. I am pretty sold on an F350 as it would be nice to have the extra payload capacity if I ever go with a larger and heavier camper. Now I just need to find the $$!!

Help! All of you with Ford Heavy Duty trucks, I would appreciate your reviews. I have finally decided that a 3/4 Ton is the way to go and is really the only way to ensure that you have adequate payload for a camper, water, food, people, toys, etc... So, I have also decided that a Ford Gasser is...

Interesting combination, but a bit scary! The payload of a Raptor is really low and Ford specifically states that you should not put a camper on that truck...way too tippy!

Thanks for all of the good ideas...very helpful.

Has anyone out there seen a console safe for a T100. I have a 1998 with bucket seats and would like to find a console safe that fits that truck.

These were taken in Yellowstone (Lamar Valley) as well as a few in Nevada and Idaho. The one with the $1.5 million bus in the background was at an RV park in Idaho Falls and shows quite a contrast. Don't think he's doing too much offroading with that rig.

I'll post some photos as soon as I figure out how to upload them. I got many from a recent road trip to Yellowstone.

How has the supercharger worked for you? Have you had any problems and would you be concerned about putting one on a motor with 157,000 miles on it? Also, how many additional horsepower do you think it realistically added? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I have thought about getting a bigger truck, but have had this since it was new and can't bear to part with it. It's got 157,000 and I have never had a breakdown or any major mechanical issues. Did you look at adding a supercharger to yours?

Thanks for the advice on the bumper, I had pretty much given up on finding something that wasn't custom and if there truly is a law in California against having cans of gas on the back, then I'll won't be able to stray too far! The bike pump works great on the airbags and I highly recommend it...

I am a new member and also new owner of a FWC Kestrel...which I love! I have a few questions for those with some experience. First, I have found that a bicycle pump works great to inflate the airbags, but everyone here seems to use an air compressor. Besides the obvious benefit of being able to...
