Yes, I had similar experience. Had 2005 Hawk and hung a solar bag off the boat rack when camper was "up". The weight of the water bag kinked the vertical aluminum panel supports. Also kinked the plywood panel. All still functioned. I purchased steel square tubing which fit within the aluminum...

Thanks so much again Longhorn. You motivated me to do my own experiment with what I have on hand. Last nite plugged CPAP into Ampeak 750 w inverter which in turn clipped into battery terminals. Battery is Les Schwab AGM RV Deep Cycle 6/19 (my trolling motor battery). The meter showed 12.78 at...

OK thanks much. I have the stock AGM battery (1). Also have portable 80 watt Zamp. Would not want to depend on the solar with the limited sun in my camping situations. Your experiment at home seems tho to answer my question. 4 - 8 hours is a pretty close call for the nite. Good info tho. Is the...

Was wondering if anyone has had experience running a CPAP machine for one or two nites on the battery. Would like to dry camp only and not run a generator all nite. The brand is ResMed S-9 Auto. Have a 2020 Hawk waiting to be used.

x2 on the Hypervent. Purchased 3-4 years ago from Fisheries Supply. Think it is quite a bit less expensive than the DriDek but both are very good products. I like the idea of the mat vs the square but that's just me. I do quite a bit of week day hunting (fall season) in eastern Oregon where...

OK. It's all clear now and thanks. Will charge iPad/cellphone off the truck battery assuming the panel is keeping battery topped off.

Hey, thanks for your reply. Yes, I do have the original blue Optium still doing its job in the camper. Every spring I think maybe I should update with new battery but "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I do have a separator so when I'm moving its charging from the truck. During the long...

I have a 2005 Hawk purchased new that is used approximately 5 months per year. Two of my extended trips, between April-August, are about 9 weeks and 6 weeks respectively. The truck/camper "sits" during those periods and is located at dry campsites. I recently purchased a 15 watt, Deltrin solar...

Here is my setup that I have been using for some years now - normally when I am in one spot for awhile. Notice the pulley system that raises my solar shower bag and then I lock it down. Note the bag on the hood warming up from the sun. It folds down to a flat 2-foot circle about 1"-2" thick...

Here is my solution with the Mr. Heater. As you can see in the picture the heater is "hung" on a 1/2 inch board which is placed under the lip of the bed and rest below the window. It does not move during transit and yet you can slide it left or right as you will. Must be careful that you...

I have an '05 Hawk with factory heater and a Mr. Heater, and use either, depending on my needs. The factory heater works great, but is quite loud and I need shore power or generator to run it. The Mr. Heater works well also, but placement became an issue. My dog sleeps on the floor so that's a...

Great topic and am sure that more ideas will follow. With the velcro strip on top lots of possibilities exist. Last year I constructed a boxed 2 shelf system out of 1/2" alder. A very simple design that is very stable and has velcro on top with the bottom "sitting" on the lip just above the...

I am a regular browser on this site when I am home anyway and have often wondered why this topic was not brought up sooner. The wind issue is one of the few negative aspects to the pop-up camper. I have a 2005 Hawk on a 2005 Tundra and spend a fair amount of fall and spring time in eastern...

I retired in 2005 and bought a new 05 Hawk and and 05 Toyota Tundra. FWC did the installation in Talent, Oregon. My Hawk was outfitted with a blue Optima battery which is still in use. I put in about 140 days of camper use from May-Nov. Winter time gets little use other than a few days here...
