Great discussion! Here is a tangent. Have to agree that electric trucks that will work for Overlanders are a ways off. (How long until the roof of our campers are covered with solar panels?) However, I am tired of the panning of EV's in general. People will move to them for the same reason they...

Looking to update my truck. I have a Hawk side dinette. Considering the Ford F150 or the Ram 1500. Lots of info on the Ford, but not so much on the Ram. If you have a Ram 1500, I would like to hear from you on what you have done to beef up the suspension and what it cost. I have heard that the...

WjColdWater - What kind of mileage did you get with the 5.0 vs. the 3.5? (guessing that you drove them at about the same speed)

Found metal drawer stops. They work just fine. Found a flat screen slider and that works fine and allows drawer to open.

Field test update. Plastic drawer stops not strong enough - broke two of them. Will see if I can find some aluminum ones. Second drawer from bottom hits screen door slider end cover when door is closed. Constructed it with door open - Duh! Going to try flatter slider or maybe Velcro attached...

Since I had not put any Silicone on the back window (not sure about the factory), I cleaned it as best as I could and sealed the outside of the window to the frame, and the outside of the window frame to the door using black DAP Dynaflex 230. Really liked that it cleans up with water.

Sweet! Congratulations.

I'm always looking for more storage in my Hawk. I found these drawers at "The Container Store". Screwed them to the aluminum frame to secure them. Used drawer stops to keep the drawers closed. Thanks to Wandering Sagebrush for helping me to post the photos.

I'm getting dust penetrating inside near the back door. One place it comes in is the back window. I removed the window and cleaned the dust and want to reseal both the plastic window frame to the door, and the glass window to the plastic window frame. I have used Silicone before, but not found...

Vic - I have both. Mostly use the rubber one since it is easier and faster and you can close the door from inside. Only use the more positive one when it is really windy.

Wow. Lots of good suggestions. Thanks to all.

For those of us that don't want/have a full size shovel mounted on our camper, what do people use/recommend for a for a folding/telescoping shovel that is useful and sturdy but doesn't take up a lot of space?

I have an 06 Tundra/Hawk and I trailer a 17 Lowe aluminum boat w/50 hp motor without a problem. Only notice it on long grades.

So good to see you Jim. It was a fun event with lots of wonderful people. Nice job FWC.

bsharp- I like it. Is the copper inside the faucet coated like the outside?
