    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Best cell phone carrier for "wandering"?

    Verizon works fine in the states but their international coverage sucks. When I went to Verizon they swore up and down that the phone would work in Mexico. It doesn't and I spend a couple months a year in Baja. I read them the riot act and they released me from my contract. I now have an ATT...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West What to put a new Hawk on ...

    I have a 2011 Hawk with most of the options on the back of an '05 Dodge 2500 diesel. In my opinion, the 3/4 ton truck is a better option than the 1/2 ton if you have the choice. Larger brakes, axles, springs etc, mean you aren't pushing the limits of the vehicle all the time. I pull a trailer...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West What do you use for steps?

    I have a Hawk in the back of a '05 Dodge CTD 2500. Great combo but the door is almost waist level. I took a stinger hitch and welded a step onto it which I put in after I drop the trailer but its still a little precarious for the wife (and me after a couple cervezas). I was wondering what...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West What is your MPG with FWC ?

    This winter I bought a 2005 Dodge diesel 4wd with 6 speed manual tranny. I drove 5000 miles from Idaho to Baja and back this spring with a fully loaded Hawk and pulling a utility trailer loaded with a 15ft boat and outboard, camping, diving and fishing gear. I averaged a little over 18 mpg...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Dodge 2500 with a Hawk

    I'll be easy to find. I'll be fishing/diving out of a 15' Gregor. Escondida is a nice quiet beach though the palapas are a joke now after Jimena ripped everything up. I've heard that the beaches aren't full this year. The canucks usually head north in early March to boot. Might get lonely...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Dodge 2500 with a Hawk

    Hey camelracer, I am also heading out that week of March and am heading to Mulege. We usually camp at Playa Cocos or Playa Escondida, I've had many a cerveza frio at Bertha's! My CTD is silver and I'll be pulling a utility trailer with a 15' boat on it. I'll be hard to miss. I live in North...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Dodge 2500 with a Hawk

    Howdy, I am picking up my new Hawk early next month on the way to Baja. It will be installed on my "new to me" '05 Dodge 2500 diesel. I know there are some folks out there with a similar setup and I was wondering how the truck handled the load. The truck bed is rated for 2200 lbs so I can't...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Couch or dinette on Hawk?

    Hi everyone, My wife and I are ready to pull the trigger on a Hawk and I was wondering what the general consensus is on the dinette vs standard couch option. Are the beds the same size when folded out? Is there a spot for the table when the dinette is in the sleeping postion? Thanks for the...
