Small world, I discovered a leak in my front dinette Hawk a couple of days ago. The first sign of a problem was it was hard to push up the roof, there was water and ice buildup on the outside of the windows, on one side only. I regret I didn’t take a careful look outside at that time, I was...

I found a step ladder to be a good solution for me. It also comes in handy for clearing snow off the roof and checking the oil. It was a hassle to store for travel and storage made stealth camping difficult so I made a rack and mounted it to the bumper. The rack is such that you slide the...

On my first and only trip so far I checked them everyday. The first few days after the install and most days off pavement I had to tweak 1 or 2 of the turnbuckles. On my next trip I think I will check them daily for the first few days after the reinstall and then any day I'm on rough roads...

Frank, thanks for the welcome. Stringer, I have no leak issues. My biggest problem was with the furnace and I already added to another thread on that topic. I recommend you read the many threads and watch the FWC troubleshooting videos on furnaces before your first trip. I also added to a...

My new Hawk has the same "pry mark" but my door has a good seal all the way around. After reading these posts I'm thinking it must be caused by something different than someone trying to pry the door open. Speaking of doors, I intermittently have a problem with my screen door latching against...

I got a new Hawk and since I've read a lot on this forum in advance, I removed the duct while I was still at the dealer. However 2 weeks in I had furnace problems. It wouldn't ignite. The flashing light on the control panel told me air flow problem. I removed the sail switch, it was clean, I...

My new hawk has a Redarc SBI12-LLD

1700 miles to the dealer for the install then I took the long way back home, 4500 miles and 26 nights in the Hawk, some of them stealth. It was great. The Hawk was great. As a solo traveler the Hawk seemed to be a perfect fit, without using the pullout. I didn’t have an itinerary, I just...

Thanks for the update we were just talking about these brackets on a F150/Hawk thread. Based on that discussion I ordered and just received my brackets yesterday and installed one side today. I’m hoping my install is a keeper. I’m looking for some feedback on my install and guidance on...

Rusty, Thanks for the pics of the bracket cut offs and your back plates. Nice work. Did you take this extra effort for brackets and plates because of past experience or is it the aluminum bed? I'm new to this and the aluminum bed is my concern. Jon, I wish I had the camper in front of me to...

I was considering the Mule Expedition Outfitters brackets for my F150 w 6.5' bed but wasn't sure if the resulting eyebolt locations would work for a new Hawk. I thought they may not be forward enough. I didn't want to buy and install them just to hear from the dealer, who said they weren't...

Thanks all, that was a resounding answer, I'll leave my jacks at home! Now to figure out what to do on the maiden voyage. I wonder if I can purchase and take delivery of the camper without them. I'll have a 3,000 mi return trip. Maybe I can buy them separately and have them delivered to the...

I'll probably pick up the Hawk early next year but I got the truck now and am curious how it will all fit. I see from the website the 80 x 80 body and 80 x 128 roof but I can't find other dimensions. Where can I go to get some more exterior dimensions? What do I need to know about front...

Newbie question. I'd like to save the 40-50 lbs if I could.
