Yesterday, I had ATC install a new front lift panel and added struts. The entire job took 1.5 hours and was done flawlessly. The cost to do everything was under $800.00 and free coffee. Marty and Jeff are top notch guys and run a very nice and organized company. Because their campers are the...

With batteries, the slower you go with many stops, the longer and farther a battery will last. That said, it's the build quality that will fail, off road. Literally thousands of solder joints in a vehicle battery and other connections, all of which are prone to heavy vibration. Think washboard...

You can also spray liquid silicone along the hinge to help it slide. Do not use WD40

If the lift panels had a coupling device rather than three rivets to bond the front curtain to the panel, I would have done the job myself. It takes two hands to do the job correctly and efficiently. In the older units like mine the hinges bolt on., while the new design is all rivets.

The final solution FWC in Sacramento, as well as their satellite location will loose out of the lift panel replacement. Rancho will not do it and Sacramento wants too much $$ and they can not make me feel comfortable that the resized black panels will be the correct fit. So, All Terrain Campers...

I replaced the 10awg 2 pin connector that FWC installed because of its poor design and replaced with a panel mount Anderson powerpole. No problems since.

I do all my camping above 7000 feet and many times above 8600 feet. Propane heating has never been an issue. The bearing on the blower drum squeals a bit when it gets hot, but other than that, for 20 years it has been running like a champ.

I just got off the phone with FWC and the gal said that the "Lift Panel straps" rivet to the tent. Also, it is a two man job. I was going to do it myself but I'm rethinking it now.

A simple mechanical solenoid isolator is what my 2002 was installed with. No electronics to go bad. under $30.00 at most RV shops. I have both type isolators and I prefer the solenoid version.

Re-examining the picture I took, it would think that un-bolting the piano hinges on the bottom and top will allow removal. Then drill out the rivets thus releasing the panels from the hings. re-revit new panels in and bolt back up. Of course you will need an extendable interior brace to hold the...

Hello All I have a 2002 Hawk that has preformed flawlessly all these years until I had the roof replaced in 2017. After that, even though the roof was lifted up all the way, the amount of bow-out on the lift panel required more effort to push the panels to lock position. This in-turn has popped...
