    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Sure Power 1314 Recall - FYI

    That was my fall back solution to the problem,it works.Have you talked to Marty at All Terrain Campers? He could answer your questions the best. Good luck and be safe. Frank I haven't talked to them because my Hawk is a 2002 model. It originally had a solenoid thingy under the truck hood that...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Sure Power 1314 Recall - FYI

    Hawk.I checked the sure power site and they give info about isolators vs separators.I think the one difference is that the separator is usually a solenoid type and they run hot which is the "problem" they are running into.I am happy with I have now vs the separator from sure power.I know there...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Sure Power 1314 Recall - FYI

    Here is the latest in the separator story. There is a thread "why did you go to ATC". Well other than the camper and what they did for me. Monday I was in contact with Marty about the separator problem.Here it is Wednesday and I have the replacement one at my house and I installed it,zip zap...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Tire Pressure

    I'm late to this dance, but there is another concern I have, and that is running low pressure on roads like we have in the SW where there are sharp chert nodules or rough limestone or basalt. I'm afraid that running low pressure will lower the sidewall on the sharp stuff and cause a tear. On...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Under-the-hood dual battery setup and FWC shell

    I haven't put the aux battery in the engine compartment but know someone who did. He just found a place for it and installed the battery isolator in the engine compartment as well, then ran the wires back to a trolling motor electrical plug to connect to the camper wiring. You need to fuse the...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Factory Roof Rack

    I use my rack to snag branches when in the outback :-) Haven't found any other use for them. So far, I have bent off the overhanging ends front and back.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Leveling the Camper

    I use Lynx Levelers with great success. They are also light to carry. I have one stick-on level on the back of the camper and one on one side of the camper to tell me when the camper is level.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Raising floor of truck bed

    Thanks for the replies. It never made sense to me that the "entire" floor needs to be supported. That would imply some fragile construction if true. However, if using foam insulation with little weight, I would just get a sheet under the whole thing, figuring less chance of compression of the...

    How far do you need to raise the camper to clear the bed rails? 2.5 inches, thanks.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West 1/2 T or 3/4 T?

    That has got a lot of power but the payload is still 1500- 1600#s, add a Hawk, a few options, fluids and two people and you will be operating at the vehicle designed max. The old Tundra had 100# less payload and did just fine with a well optioned Hawk, two people, big dog, and enough fluids...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West 1/2 T or 3/4 T?

    I would love to have a nice big 3/4 ton diesel but can't justify the expense. I ran a Hawk on a 2002 Tundra (240 hp) for 8 years with good success. No air bags or other mods. I could easily do 75-80 mph, keeping it in overdrive on the highway and getting 14 mpg. The only times I had a problem...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Raising floor of truck bed

    Hi, I'm brand new here. Have had a Hawk for 8 years but did not know about this forum. I'm seeing all sort of interesting info. I had the Hawk on a 2002 Tundra and used it mainly on back roads with great success. Love the camper, and the truck was faithful. Now I have a 2010 Tundra, which I also...
