    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Replacing utility doors on 2015 Hawk Silverspur

    OK, call me anal but... my 2015 Hawk Silverspur came with white doors on Hot Water Heater, Heater and Water inlet and it bugged me I always hated that the rest was gray and these were white. Saw that later model silver spurs came with all gray doors? Called FWC and they explained it was vendor...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Ordered, But Which Truck to get?

    Scanned through and did not see mentioned... I "Think" when I ordered my Hawk the dealer said that the build was different for a Ford? Seems I remember him saying the Roof clearance is different? Since nobody has mentioned that here I may be mistaken but you may want to check if already in build...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West First time camping freezing temperatures with water hookup now leaking

    OK I'm home now... need to try and find leak. Another dumb question... is there any access to plumbing from outside if I remove camper from truck? I don't remember any but it sure does look hard to see any leaks either from too much pressure at fittings or even hot water tank. Looks like I can...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West First time camping freezing temperatures with water hookup now leaking

    Yes I use pressure relief and filter. I'm betting my hot water tank is now cracked maybe? Put water in freshwater not leaking. I'd guess however if I turn pump on it would try and fill heater? I don't see a fuse to turn heater system off just the on off switch. I'll wait a bit longer before...

    I too purchased Silver Spur exterior to match my truck. The white doors have always bugged me :( My 2015 Hawk has white AC power fitting and door too. I think newer models at least that is grey. If anyone has or does paint doors would you please post pics and your results with specs?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Mexico (Mainland) here we come (soon)

    I don't mean for registration in USA. You will be going past the 26 mile mark so need the vehicle registered in Mexico. It's the 6 month temp registration through Bamjercito. I have heard the full size truck with Slidein camper puts you past their gross weight limits? I realize Baja does not...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Mexico (Mainland) here we come (soon)

    I will be VERY interested in how you get the FWC registered for temporary entry. I'm trying to quiz the Banjercito government agency. I know Baja is not that particular but mainland is :( I'm having a hard time explaining a slidein.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ? for F 250 owners - options mods etc on custom ordered 2019

    If they still have the upfitter option you should really get that. As well as tow package so you have brake controller if or when needed. I also concur with crew cab and 4x4. I've removed my back seats for my large dog when along or more storage space when not. I have my Hawk mounted full time...
