Hi all! I am about to order a new Hallmark pop up camper. Did I forget anything? Hallmark has been really great at answering my many questions but i thought i’d reach out to the nice people here to double check…. before i place the order. Did I forget anything? 9.5 foot base, Everest...

Thanks! :-) Yeah some of the aftermarket ones looked a little cheezy... and not much cheaper...

Thanks much Eddie - yeah good advice about the LED headlights... after 19 of 20 people highly recommended them... I finally figured i should get them. ;-) thanks for all the good thoughts. :-)

Thanks much Steve - for some unusual reasons I wont bore you with... we can't do a flatbed model, as much as I'd like one. Maybe in my next life. ;-) thanks for the thoughts...

Hi all again - 7 months later. :-) So we are finally about to place our order for our 9.5 foot long Hallmark pop up truck camper. How is this for a (revised) power system? * * in terms of amount of solar panel WATTS specifically. * * I want to make sure i have enough solar panel...

Any thoughts on the 360 camera system? :-) yes, I am sure we want the 9.5 foot camper, so we need to get the 8 foot bed... and there are THREE of us, so yes I am sure we want the Crew Cab. We are coming from a 38 foot (combined length) travel trailer + tug setup, so a loooong truck does not...

F-350 360 degree camera system question (custom ordered 2020) I’m about to custom order a 2020 Lariat F350 - crew cab, 8’ bed. We will *never* tow. We hate towing. We also keep our vehicles for a really long time, so resale isn’t really an issue. There will always be a 9.5’ pop up truck...

Because we are about to order a Hallmark, new.... I hope you would share a few more specific details? (you) installation mistakes You mean while being installed on your truck? or - ? (you) detail errors what sort of detail errors did you have? As we live quite a ways away - not easy to fly...

Thanks to Beach and everyone for all the good thoughts. I just recently spoke with the manufacturer of the pop up, and the new (to me) info is that the issue with any Ford supplied power to the pop up campers house battery is that the voltage is generally too low to get the lithium batteries...

It is my understanding that the camper prep package alone does not change the front springs stiffness. It is the plow package that beefs up the front springs. As far as I know. :-)

(You) I'd be more interested in whether there was a traction feature with the off-road pkg like hill descent, AFAIK there is no traction feature with FX4 package. And also AFAIK the hill descent is only for under 20 MPH or something like that. FWIIW.

Thanks for the info. :-) We will use (as always) a broker to order. So awesome. By federal law they can't sell it - so it goes thru a dealer, FYI. Just the lowest possible price, and zero dealer hassles and games. what is a FIL? You used this term. thanks. :-)

?’s about options on a custom order 2020 Ford F-350 6.2L gasser I have a couple questions (below) but for clarity - the truck we are about to order (for our forthcoming, always mounted pop-up truck camper) is listed at the very bottom. This is our first ever truck purchase. Please be kind to us...

Hi all When test driving a 2019 F350 crew cab 8 ft. box - - it is empty, of course. I find the ride a *little* jittery and bumpy when doing an ordinary road test, driving on ordinary paved roads. I am curious - once we have a 2,500 lb (wet) pop up truck camper in it, along with camping...

I forget the list of reasons but Hallmark will so specific custom options for us, and has thinks that we want. We are set on Hallmark.

Update - getting ready to order ours in October 2019. 200 watts (2 x 100 w) of lithium battery, 360 watts solar panels on the roof. Grape is the brand if i recall will carry Honda 2200i generator, and will have AC on roof. Hope to not use it too much. any other Hallmark owners care to share...

Thanks everyone for the great info. Anyone else have the rear storage bins option? :-)

I heard the 7.3 gas engine might actually use about the same gas... as it would be running less hard under any loads (hills) however i *have* to get the new 10 speed transmission, and the Hallmark (wet) would be about 2,500 lbs.. .and we hate towing so we would never tow.... and people with the...

p.p.s whatever we get (even a pop up) it'll be too tall to garage.... and it will be in midwest (!) so the strongest roof possible is key. and yes i'll have to manage the snow load on the roof. Ug.
