I have an inside shower in my Hawk which I have never used. Seems like it would be a lot of trouble in such a confined space. REI has all kinds of products for body and hair that work really well for keeping clean in the great outdoors without having to use a drop of water. But it is...

I put Goodyear Wrangler E rated Duratracs on my Ram 2500 4X4. I've been very satisfied with the performance in all types of weather and road conditions. I did lots of research before I purchased. Some all season tires are very noisy so do your homework before you buy. My tires run pretty...

I just got off the phone with Pete (sales) at FWC and asked how to be put on a list for the October rally in SoCal. He said that the Oct. rally reservations are going to be made through an event website, but he wasn't able to elaborate beyond that. He asked me to call Stan Kennedy next week to...

Thanks for the info. Had a great time at the Bodega Bay rally. Looking forward to the So Cal one.

Hello I've been using a 1000 watt Honda generator to keep my Hawk batteries fully charged. I attach the shore power cord to the camper and plug it directly into the generator. Works like a charm.

Hi I have a new hawk with the Fiamma awning. I'm very satisfied with the product. I originally thought about getting a bat wing awning but decided against it because of the space required when the awning is deployed. I do a lot of camping in close proximity to trees and it would have been...

I put a "THINGS TO CHECK" list on the rear view mirror and then walk around my camper and truck a few times checking and rechecking stuff. I learned the hard way by ruining a couple of crank up antenna's on motorhomes I owned in the past.

I checked with FWC factory and was told that my P3 will work just fine with the existing FWC controller. When I purchased my P3 I did not purchase the controller with it. They provided a cable with the roll up panel. It's just plug and play. The guys at P3 checked with FWC and told me that...

I would recommend a good quality spray in liner. As opposed to a mat it has no compression issues, will protect the whole truck bed from moisture damage (remember the sides and back of the bed will not be exposed to any sunlight to dry out when the camper is mounted) and adds a better non slip...

I have a factory installed furnace in my Hawk. Last year I spent a week at Yosemite and the furnace worked flawlessly during very cold temperatures. I would strongly suggest that you spend the extra money for the comfort and safety of a factory installed and properly vented furnace. Along...

I recently purchased a P3Solar roll up 90 watt portable to supplement the 160 watt on the roof. It’s great and rolls into a 6” diameter tube. They are very knowledgeable.

I have a dual 6 Volt set up with a 160 watt solar panel on the roof. Its a new camper and according to the FWC spec sheet they list the brand as Exide Model #2301WFP-AGM. Although I've only had my Hawk for 4 months I have used it a number of times camping and using the furnace quite a bit with...

Hello Kevin I have a new Hawk Woolrich Edition with two Fantastic Fans. I assume all Hawk versions measure the same. I measured with the top down so the measurement may be < 1/2"> off. They measure 56" from center to center. They measure 38" between interior finished plastic frame edges. Bill

Good Survey. I took the easy way out when I bought my camper. I was very extravagant and bought myself a Woolrich Edition Hawk. It's fantastic! The only two options available were built in cassette toilet and rear roof steps...which I got. Looking forward to all the results.

To address So Cal Adventurer's battery question. I never asked why two 6 volts instead of one 12 volt. My new FWC Woolrich Edition Hawk came standard with two 6's instead of one 12. I assumed the manufacturer must know what they are doing. It certainly had nothing to do with cost. Based on...

I will admit that I have never used a top loader fridge but I do agree with the Senior Member in SoCal that a traditional door fridge has to be more convenient. I currently have a new Hawk with a large 130 liter ac/dc ISOTHERM running off two deep cycle 6 volt batteries plus a 160 watt rooftop...

Thanks for the report. Your photos are great and inspiring. I recently purchased a Woolrich Edition Hawk and will be taking it on its first shakedown trip to Yosemite for a week. I’m also interested in battery and propane consumption. My camper has two batteries and since the weather is...

Thanks so much for your shakedown report. It was inspiring. I recently purchased a Woolrich Edition Hawk and will be taking it on its first shakedown trip as well. I’ll be going to Yosemite for 7 days this week. I too will be interested in battery and propane consumption. My camper has two...

I recently put Goodyear Duratrac tires on my Ram 2500 4X4 with a FWC Hawk in the bed. E rated with snowflake symbol. They are pretty quiet on the road too.

I recently purchased a new Hawk with the factory 160 watt solar panel on the roof. I wanted to get a portable solar panel as a supplement for those times when I’m under trees and when the sun is low. I purchased a 90 watt P3solar roll up (only 5 lbs. and fits in a small tube. It doesn’t have...

Just picked up my new Hawk Woolrich Edition one month ago. Getting ready to take it on its first shake down trip. 2017 Ram 2500 4X4 Cummins 6.7 Crew Cab Auto Level Rear Suspension

This is great feedback. I checked on line and found two reasonably priced light weight products with good weight limits that seem to fit the bill. On Stage SS8800B Plus Power Crank Up Speaker Stand YORKVILLE SKS31B TRIPOD STAND CRANK ALUMINUM 46-72"

Has anyone ever used a crank up tripod type stand (typically used to raise loud speakers on a stage) in order to assist when raising the roof on a FWC?

Thanks for the Don and Aaron website 2tallDA. Although my Ram 2500 plus camper handles fine, it's almost too soft riding ( kinda like an old Buick Roadmaster) with the extra weight. I think a stiffer type shock would do the trick.

Its hard to find detailed information about the Ram 2500 auto level system. I'm pretty sure it uses conventional heavy duty shocks. I do know that the system has a nitrogen filled tank and onboard compressor. For some reason Dodge calls it a "auto level system" rather than a air bag system...
