Yeah, we did something very similar. It works great! Enjoy the road!

Wow, nice fairing, Nikol! Very professional. Interesting storage behind also. What do you keep there? I think if I build one, it will be a hybrid of your design and one from ski3pin's saved pics (above). Robert

A nice feeling to finally make the decisions. And very exciting to get the show on the road. Good Luck!

Bill, you may have already looked at this, but here is what we did with our thermal pack (built from ski3pin's instructions) which could also be added to a factory thermal pack if needed, I think - http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/9686-homemade-thermal-pack/page-2. We like it because...

In my Hawk shell, only the first four or five inches of the bench lifts up and that storage is only about 7" deep. If you look at the 1st pic in your link you can see the white metal trim that borders the part that lifts up. It looks like, from pic #7, that if you don't order propane you can...

Thanks, Bill. So far the modifications are working out well - comfortable in both positions and it still feels fairly roomy back there. We will be giving it a more rigorous test in a month or so. 1. One thing we didn't get that sounds good to me is the extension of the pop-up to 6'9" as per...

Sorry it took so long to reply, Longhorn1 - we were gone for the holidays. In our Hawk shell there was a small compartment (about 4 or 5 in. wide and maybe 7in. deep) that ran the length of the bench and was accessed by a hinged lift panel. If you look at this picture - you can see the...

Ditto with billharr - ours came opening down and we like it very much.

We make coffee in the morning inside (if it's cold out) on a one burner Coleman but cook our meals outside.

We haven't got all that lined out yet - still organizing and experimenting. We'll get serious about it after the holidays I think. No plans to move the battery, though I suppose under one of those seats might be a good spot. Hmmmm.... A note on the rough costs - a little too rough - actually...

Hi everybody, With our Thermal Pack built and tested (write-up here; http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/9686-homemade-thermal-pack/page-2 ) we seem to be about 95% done with all we had planned to do. We started with this setup; 2004 dbl cab Tundra with RideRite airbags 2014 Hawk...

Crazy Mtns

So we tackled the Thermal Pack, with meager-to-rusty sewing skills, a new sewing machine (from Costco, a Brother XM3700,$89.99), an excellent write-up from ski3pin (and Barking Spiders). And some free time. We did everything as detailed in their post except hem both the top and bottom edges...

Saw this topic soon after we bought our new Hawk shell (yes bfh4n, thanks for posting!). In the interest of skinning a cat one more way, here's how I did it. Removed the countertop - I was going to do it anyway to replace it or I probably would have gone for the bezel option as I think that...
