Picked up at Go Anywhere LLC (Sean Dempsey) in Eagle, WI on 2/5/16

I am picking up my new FWC later this coming week. Just talked to State Farm (Wisconsin) yesterday and after doing some checking, they called back and said it was only another $25/6months on my auto policy to cover both collision and comprehensive. They also said it is covered when off the...

Wow, nice work!

+1 for what Squatch said. That is the compressor I have. It airs up fast compared to the dime store compressors and runs a lot quieter. I have yet to make the mods to it. One mod for sure on a full size truck is to make the electrical cord longer. It is hard to reach the drivers side rear...

Jim: Thanks for the suggestions and Yes I am a Packer fan! (even though not a native Wisconsinite) My first stint in Wisconsin was in Green Bay and I couldn't help but get hooked on the Packers (even before the Favre era when they were less than successful). I had previously come across your...

Oly Bill - Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't plan on using shore power for the majority of places I go. Minimalist camping is what I try to achieve plus keeping the weight down. One thing I have to add to the budget is E rated tires. But no hurry on that until next spring. I only plan...

DesertDave - Thanks for the info. Looks like I might be able to raise the height of the dolly if I choose to and still be able to open the camper. I'll see how much of a pain it is to raise and lower. But right now, when the dolly is not in use, it is short enough to store out of the way...

Good information to know. Thanks to horseshoe for starting the post and all the great information on the replies. Have learned something today! Looking forward to my new Hawk shell being ready in a month or two and will file this information for future reference. I am installing a battery...

Longhorn1: Yes, I am aware of the PITA regarding lowering and raising the jacks, but I want to be able to pop the top up occasionally when stored in the garage. As it is now, the dolly is a little more than 12" above the garage floor. I can add some more height to the dolly easily if...

My first look at this thread. Amazing! No way in heck I would have the patience of pods8 to take on a project of this magnitude. Looking forward to some more progress reports!

Load testing the new dolly.

The wheel is just sitting there. 3/8 CDX plywood goes on prior to mounting wheel. Used 3.5" x 1/4" lag bolts for mounting the 5" wheels.

Construction of the dolly for the soon to be new FWC Hawk Shell (with a lot of options)

Thanks to all for the replies and well wishes! I've been doing a lot of research on this forum and other areas in anticipation of the new FWC Hawk Shell (with a lot of options). It is supposed to be on the November shipment to Wisconsin! Although, November is a very busy month for me, and I...

Thanks all for the replies! A few other options I have that were omitted in the OP: Thermal Pack Curtains Lift Assist Power Roof vent Rear Wall Steps and of course the Camper Jacks Longhorn1: Yes no sink. I have a large lightweight stainless steel pot that I have used for years tent camping...
