    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Advice on Hawk in short short bed

    I have a Hawk and used to have it on a 2017 GMC 1500 with the short bed. I left the tailgate on to help, overall I drove it a lot and drove it to a lot of places including the Colorado BDR, the Rim Rocker, Death Valley and more. Overall, it worked, I did have air bags on it and replaced the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Prototype done- protective “Bra” for front of cabover

    I think this is a great idea. I wonder if you could "enhance" the design by putting foam in it in the front so that it turns out curved. I like how Phoenix Pop-Up's put a curved clip on the front of their campers, I would imagine it cuts down slightly on the wind noise. Just a thought. I would...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Frustrating interaction with FWC

    This is a great answer. I have the 85 and finds it holds a lot but also maintaining the right temp, loading correctly, etc. can be a little bit of a pain. I have thought of getting another one for the backseat to keep some drinks and stuff in to both free up space in the back and have lunch...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Solo Loading a Kayak on a Hawk

    I have a Yakima Boat Loader assist for my round bars. I used it on my ARE shell I had on my truck pre-FWC. I tried it once on my FWC but it was still a pain climbing the ladder to secure the boat and it was heavy to lift the roof even without the boat up there, now I just use a trailer. But it...

    I'm sorry, but where in Texas? As you know it's a big state, lol. I'm in central Oklahoma, around 3 hours north of Dallas.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West PORTA POTTI

    Pretty sure you have to cut out the little strip of wood at the bottom of the doors to make it slide in and out, but the overall height of the space is enough.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tipping angle w/ camper?

    My inclinometer showed 19 degrees on my half ton with a Hawk on the back once and I thought I was going to have to change my shorts after. It's super scary. As others have mentioned, it would not be so bad if you were stopped, but when moving, bouncing over rocks, etc., it's an extra layer of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone replaced front dinette table with Lagun hardware?

    I haven't but just used mine FD this weekend and was thinking about it. I've used mine about 60 nights or so in the 3 years I've owned it and haven't really been happy with the table mount. Keep us posted with an update if you go through with it.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tailgate on or off...can't decide

    I guess I'm going the odd man out here. My dealer suggested I leave it on to help support the camper. I do like having it on as a little porch and I don't find it awkward getting in and out. I basically crawl in anyway and have a floor made up of foam tiles so it's not hard on the knees. Getting...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truck and/or Camper Registration, Title, Fees, Taxes, Insurance, Etc.

    I'm in Oklahoma and as you said, each state seems a little different. With my carrier, it's an endorsement to my auto policy when it's on the truck (which carries additional premium) and my homeowner's when it's off (which does not carry additional premium). It's really treated more as a truck...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attached Fold Out Shower Enclosures

    2020 was my first year of owning one, so have only a few trips with it so far. Well the first thing that drew me to the Zero Declination option if I’m being honest was that it was cheap. 2nd was that it was being marketed by someone who also owns a Four Wheel Camper and knew exactly how it was...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attached Fold Out Shower Enclosures

    I carry a teak slotted floor, about 3x3, that I put down inside my Zero Declination Drop Tent. I leave a pair of sandals just outside the tent for the short trek back into the camper. This is the same approach I used before I got the tent. As far the rest of the long list of questions, it...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Custom interior build in Bison overland shell

    I could be wrong, but I think he has built 3 shells so far, and no interiors other than the prototype. So if you're looking for a shell, they have worked out the kinks, but like you, I wouldn't want to be the first customer for the inside build-out. On the other hand, you could order it built...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Custom interior build in Bison overland shell

    I don't think Bison has built out any interiors yet. He just got back from the Ozark Rally so might have done something up for that, but his whole philosophy is camping beside the camper more so than in it. They are less than one year old and are just getting started so a lot has already been...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Anyone have experience with electric camper jacks?

    I did that. Took some work to install, getting the old drive pins out were a pain, and I did an external power mount and only hook them up when putting the camper on/off and then remove the jacks when the camper is in use. Power mount is a HYCLAT 2-4 Gauge 175 A Battery Quick Connect/Disconnect...

    It has the composite lifting panel so is probably at least a 2015 based on the this article saying that was the first year for the composite. https://www.truckcampermagazine.com/news/tcm-exclusive-2015-four-wheel-camper-announcements/

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Camper Roof Damage - Repair in SoCal?

    All Terrain Campers will work on the Four Wheel Camper models as well as their own ATC models. I realize you said the "company" was too expensive, I'm assuming you meant FWC, try ATC and compare.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Front dinette floor storage struts

    Pretty sure that's a Granby, not a Hawk. Could be wrong, but my 2018 Hawk has the single door. I did a similar mod on mine with struts off of Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156P6YVC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Rocky Mountain Four Wheel Campers

    I realize I'm late to the this thread as you have already ordered, but put me down as another happy customer. Chris put up with a lot of questions and was very easy to work with as I bought my 2018 Hawk. They were flexible on the install date and very accommodating. 5/5 stars.
