The stove is this one: http://partnersteel.com/LG02.htm The table is this one: http://www.rei.com/product/813204/rio-adventure-compact-expandable-table Thanks for this info. Nice gear. I think we have many more years with our coleman stove but that looks nice! Now I have to find a way to...

I debated on getting a second roof vent and decided against it. You really don't need it. A second one also takes up roof space. I have Yakima racks for my kayak and plan to add an basket. Another roof vent would make it difficult to do that. Thanks for this opinion too. We do have a plan...

We have the FrontRunner footwell water tank. It holds about 11 gallons and sits on the floor in front of the back seat in our Tacoma. Keeps the weight low and forward. We like it. We keep a gallon jug in the fridge for drinking water and refill it from the tank as we need it...

Just wait till your child starts wanting to "Do Daddy Things" then getting good enough to warrent "Daddy Like" gear... Congratulations on your order. Use it often, your child will thank you someday.... Thank you sir. I've been thinking about future father/son trips in the camper when mom...

Finally put in my order for a new hawk. I went with the 80 liter 2way fridge, side dinette, and a few other "luxury" options. thanks for all the help and advice. Now I just have to wait till June and it's gonna kill me. Congrats! I just ordered our Hawk Shell last Wednesday. The wait is...

Hi Cole, I have an Eagle shell model and very limited building skills. Check out my two posts in the archives for pictures and ideas: "Eagle Shell Amateur Buildout" - 6/4/2012(page 12) and "How to install a sink in a FWC shell model" - 8/22/2012.(Page 9) You will notice there is lots of storage...

Great report. Thank you. Looking forward to the next part.

Ok, its "tomorrow morning". We are ready to see an epic trip report! :)

Congrats to both of you. Great looking rigs. FWC and Tacomas just look made for each other! I bet it felt like a long wait. I just put my deposit down yesterday for a Hawk shell and I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself while it's being built. Enjoy them ASAP!

Treated myself to the new Montana GPS. It uses interchangeable chips. You can get very detailed ones for $99 per state. Not only shows State, BLM,F&G and Indian lands it shows private land and who owns it!!! But I am going to need a class or 2 to use all it's fru frus!!!! Congrats on...

Cole, Make sure you insist that FWC uses the Blue Sea fuse box...much better than the cheapy mine has. Also, in hindsight, I may have had them build the propane cabinet/stove setup, except I'd install my own Wave heater. The FWC heater is super noisy. I put my number in the PM you sent, feel...

I don't have a shell model, but if you are thinking of adding a refrigerator, I would keep it near the door. It is very handy to be able to access the fridge without having to climb into the camper. Yup, ideally I want to put mine right next to the door on the passenger side. However, I like...

imcolej, I can't help you much with your shell questions...but I just wanted to say "Howdy fellow Bendite!" (and I completely agree about Bend's climate -- even in July or August, being outside at night might at least require a sweater ) Hello MarkBC! I definitely need to pick your brain...

That is awesome.

We are very happy with our ATC camper. You can check it out at the blog link below. ATC is very easy to work with on custom features like the wiring you mentioned. We do our cooking outside unless the weather is really bad so we didn't get a stove or sink/water system. We do have a fridge. I...

For a shell model, you should also look at All Terrain campers. The cost of their shell model is very reasonable and has not changed in the last few years. But only FWC has composite lift panels and one piece roof. Good luck. Thanks Super Doody, I'll run the numbers on an ATC shell as well. I...

You may get this anyways but request the solar panel side of the connector. The wire that has the plug that would go into the solar plug on your roof. It is probably around $5.00 and may be hard to locate. That way, when you are ready, you will only need the solar panel and controller...

Hello Small Army of Pop-up Truck Campers, First off, thanks to everyone that contributes to this site. Your trip reports, DIY guides, and general information on pop-up truck campers has been really helpful and inspiring for my wife and I. I have been visiting this site for years now and it's...

I like the idea of easy living inside a hard top. But the increase in fuel economy and better clearance makes a pop up the right choice for me. If you were not concerned about the above, I can see the advantages to a hard sided camper. Some of my pop up thoughts are in this post, Pop-up and...

If someone got me down on the ground, put me in a headlock and said I had to give up my FWC and get a hard side I would take a hard look at these: http://www.livinlite.com/truck-campers Yeah, I have definitely researched the Camplite 8.6 Model Think I'd have to go into 3/4 ton territory for...

Thanks for the reply SunMan. Your rig and trip reports originally got me interested in this set up. Yeah, I probably have too many questions in this post. Just wanted to check and see if anyone on WTW had the HT option. The more I think about it the more I think that the popup would be a better...

With my current obsession with all things off road campers, I would like to know what you all think about the FWC hard side option. Pro, Cons and any reviews from folks that actually have them. I haven't seen a lot of information about them and I wonder how many people are ordering them vs. the...

Thanks for the info. Too bad about the front dinette. When I first saw it I thought it was the prefect update to the FWC interior. However, I'm 6'2 so I bet I'll feel cramped in it as well. When we get closer to actually ordering one of these we'll definitely be taking the tour!

Not interested in the self contained model but very interested in the new front dinette option. I asked FWC about the dimensions of the sleeping space for the front dinette vs. the sleeping space for the roll over couch. Here is the reply on their facebook page... Quote from FWC - "For the...
