After looking at the speaker stand option, it would have one advantage over my cargo bar-it would allow me to also slowly lower the roof. Perhaps with a kayak and mountain bikes on top, this could be important. Something else to purchase......

Thanks for the quick responses! jesmor3, I thought the total load capacity of the roof is 1000 pounds. It seems to me that FWC wouldn't install full length Yakima rails if they didn't think it could handle a good load. I did look into the swing out hitch bike carriers but they are expensive...

Greetings, I picked up my new Hawk last week and have been getting it prepped for our first camping trip. I installed my Yakima rack which includes two 78" cross bars, two bike carriers and a large basket with kayak rollers. I would estimate the weight of the entire rack set-up (unloaded) at...

Update: I purchased an inexpensive ($25) back seat pet hammock from Amazon that seems to be decent quality although it's slightly too small. The camper is being installed on 12/30! I sold my old shell, had a spray-in bed liner installed, and also purchased a hitch mounted step system that has...

You would love the power and the mileage of any modern diesel. My F250 ("bulletproofed" 6.0) has no issues hauling and towing in the mountains. I pick up my new Hawk in a couple of weeks and I probably will barely notice it's effect on milage and passing power. My old trailer was much heavier...

Wow-thanks again for all the tips and ideas! I think I will research and order the hammock for the back seat. I hope they make them big enough for a full size truck. My back seats do fold and make a flat metal platform but the dogs would be sitting and lying down kind of low. They probably...

Thanks for the ideas so far-I guess I will have to find a way to convert back seat space to dog space, and carry all gear in the camper. I'm just worried about what to do when the dogs get wet or dirty, or when I need to carrry extra passengers. Longhorn1, I will check out your platform build...

Greetings, My new FWC Hawk will be finished by the end of the month and my wife and I are anxiously waiting to use it! We are already planning a spring trip to Death Valley and Utah. I would like some feedback on how other campers deal with their dogs as they travel and camp. I have three dogs...
