You could cut about a half an inch off from the look of the picture, but there is no good way to get two inches without removing the front part of the bed. And note that travel on rough roads where the bed moves independently of the cab could result in damage.

The factory is a great tour. We really got a better understanding of how well the Four Wheel Camper is made after the visit. Depending upon your definition of nearby, The Colusa-Sacramento River State Recreation area is one choice back up I-5 a bit. Or, if you continue on to Folsom Lake State...

If the roof of our Hawk oil-cans while driving, we don't hear it, but we sometimes hear the noise when camped if we open the side window or disturb the passenger side of the camper. Not sure why, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

You could try and disguise it like we did with prayer flags and other stuff...

I think the guy at FWC nailed it. If you like lots of stuff, get a rig big enough to carry it safely. That being said, our Ford F150 does the trick for us. We have a Hawk shell minimally configured. I weighed the truck with the camper on at a truck scale and we are right at gross weight...

We've only been in the wind speed you've listed, but I know that more than one FWC owner has reported accidentally driving down the freeway fully deployed with no problems, so perhaps 70 MPH winds could be the topper?

I wouldn't recommend 303 for spot cleaning because the thermal pack is made of Olefin, not PVC like the pop-up material. Ideally, you want all of the cleaning product you use to be rinsed away so that the breathable nature of the Olefin is preserved.

Backing out of the camper is the only way to go for me. I've memorized the step pattern which involves dropping my right foot onto the bumper, followed by the left foot to the license plate indentation, leading to the three step ladder. But I do grab onto the stock handle once i am outside.

I was wondering what folks use to level campers on uneven ground. I've got a couple of old 2 by 6 boards, but they really only work in one and a half inch increments. There must be a better way.
