We were utilizing and sleeping in both the truck and tow campers. Location was in Hyalite Canyon south of Bozeman, MT in Forest Service campgrounds.

Could you put up a ladder on both sides and run a plank between them that would support your weight?

Is anyone out there using a truck camper + a bumper pull camper of some variety? We have a 1/2 truck with a FWC camper plus a popup that we let the kiddos sleep in. We have now been given a hard time on two different instances by Campground Hosts trying to charge us a "double fee" because we...

Has anyone installed a FIAMMA themselves? I have 2018 Hawk and curious if the roof latches had to be relocated or if you had to do something to ensure you could access them.

Update on mine: Replaced the electrical board and the hot water heater fired right up. Seems to be working as expected now.

I have a 2018 FWC as well and my board was faulty. I was told (and have read) that there was a bad batch of board components on this generation of hot water heaters. Still in the process of getting a replacement board.

You might check to make sure the valve on the drain line is in the closed position. If left in the open position, the system cannot properly pressurize.

Update: I finished up all of the interior wiring to get a solar panel up and running. I decided to wire in a BlueSea switch for the panel in the factory "hole" where the Zamp controller would have been. MPPT was mounted down in the battery box. All that is left is to get the panel mounted on...

Parallel, yep. Brain fart. Thanks.

Bump. Anyone?

First winter with my camper and want to make sure the batteries stay healthy (2- 12V AMG). I live in the Mountain West where freezing temps exist throughout the winter. My camper will be off the truck and inside my garage, but the garage is not heated and temps get below freezing inside the...

I believe FWC Hawks all have approx. the same mounting location, at least for any given year. For example, if you were to buy a 2018 Hawk, the mounting locations do not change with interior layout. Maybe someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. As far as ratchet straps go, that would be a...

I recently replaced one of my double USB jacks with the BlueSea 4.8A double plug. I've been very happy with it thus far. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BV1MTAA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
