    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New truck - rounded tailgate and camper won't fit

    If you go to Home Depot or Lowe’s they sell 2- 3 inch thick foam insulation in the building materials department. I measured the width and length of the bed and used a saw to trim to accurate dimensions. It provides enough lift to get up and over the Chevy rounded portion of the bed. I’ve had it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Older Hawk won't fit in newer Chevy

    Did you ever end up finishing the project? I'm about to pick up my Hawk with a 13 Silverado that does not include the 'chevy notch' in it. Curious to see what needs to be modified for it to sit in the bed.

    Not to hijack the thread but this video from four wheel camper shows the hawk protruding a little past the tailgate (not flush) with the end of the bed. Do you guys think this is to accommodate the "Chevy Notch"of the truck bed? Apparently Chevy is the only truck that has a rounded edge near the...

    Hey quick ? From a fellow Chevy owner. I’m picking up a used Hawk and was told by a dealer at 10/40 that I would potentially need to build a platform with 2x4’s to accommodate the Chevy bend at the end of the bed. Did you run into this scenario? Cheers

    Hey everyone. I'm finally getting a used 2018 Hawk this weekend. One question I have is are towing mirrors necessary? I already ordered a pair, but they won't arrive in time for my first trip. Should I pick up a universal set for my 2013 Chevy Silverado? Thanks!
