Sold - Looking to sell my 2002 Toyota Tacoma & my 2011 Four Wheel Camper as a combo deal. The truck is really setup well to pair with the camper so I'd like to try this before I seperate. Both the truck and camper are in great shape both inside and out. I'm in Ogden, UT. I'll be moving to a...

No affiliation. FWC Hawk in northern Utah. $3,250 http://www.ksl.com/?nid=678&ad=40682622&cat=150&lpid=

I use a dry bag for trash. It's one of those heavy duty waterproof bags you take on rafting trips. Mine happens to be the SealLine brand. While in camp cooking or whatever i hang it on the side of the camper. At night or during travel i roll up the top and toss it in the truck or camper. It...

No affiliation. 2011 FWC Hawk Shell model in Southern Utah. $8,500 http://www.ksl.com/?nid=218&ad=38746115&cat=150&lpid=2&search=&ad_cid=9

I use a Helton hot water exchanger for my shower. I plumbed it inline with my truck cab heater so i use my heater dial to set the water temp. The cold water in & hot out are plumped and mounted to my front bumper. I have a little mesh bag that holds the shower head, pump, and a collapsible...

I've used an ARB awning on my FWC for the past few years without any issues. I've got the very small Finch shell model on my Tacoma so having the extra covered space outside during the rain is great. We often travel really bad roads and have had zero issues with the mounting of this on the...

I use Thermarest brand "Dreamtime" mattresses in my FWC. I owned the mattresses prior to purchasing the camper and loved them. After my first night in the camper using the cushions it came with i promptly pulled those out and was happy to see my Dreamtimes fit great. The other surprise bonus to...

I'll agree with jesmor3. I have 2002 Toyota double cab (so the metal bed not the newer composite) and FWC told me my only option was external tie down. The explanation i received was there was no room for internal tie downs. It wasn't a strength issue. After looking for myself i saw there was...

Thanks. That's exactly what i did last night and it's working great. It just threw me off since the FWC tech said it was wired differently.

Thanks Guys. That makes sense. Not sure why FWC was confused when i explained the situation. Maybe I wasn't explaining myself well.

Ok. Thanks. That is NOT how my camper is wired. That would have been much easier.

Thats what i thought but the rear plug doesn't go to the battery compartment. It goes to the wires near the fuse panel labelled "rear wall solar" I'm thinking the wiring intent was rear plug->"rear wall solar (near my fuse panel) ->"aux 2 batt" (near my fuse panel)->"solar"(in my battery...

Yes, the battery was installed with wiring from FWC. I should have said I had a Shell model with lights and furnace. So you plug into the rear wall and the wires go directly to the battery compartment?

In talking with the guy at FWC he told me the rear plug should have gone directly to the battery compartment without any extra work. That's why i'm wondering if a mistake was made at the factory. I guess i could go rear plug->"rear wall solar->"aux 2 batt"->"solar". That would get the rear...

Thanks for the tip. I've already done that but I forgot to include that in my first post. Rear Plug -> Wires near fuse panel labelled "rear wall solar" Wires in battery compartment labelled "solar" -> "aux 2 batt" wires near fuse panel Do you think they just wired the camper wrong in the...

I have a solar wiring issue I’m hoping other FWC owners might be able to help with. I called FWC and stumped the guys there. They said they’ll research and call me back… I have a 2011 shell model Finch that i was told was pre-wired for solar. On the back drivers side wall I have a plug that I...

Thanks for the info. Where did you spot that tortoise? I've spent a lot of time in the desert and have never come across one.

Reporting back again if anyone has a similar setup and cares. The OME front and rear springs along with airbags has been great. I've been on and off road and everything is performing well. It handled a trip in Moab flawlessly and i'm headed to Toroweap today for another long weekend.

I'm headed to the Toroweap area tonight. Hopefully i'm not too late and everything is still blooming.

I'm reporting back on this again. I ended up buying OME supsension. I went with the full kit. 882 coils up front and the standard leaf pack in the rear. The un-loaded ride height is perfectly level and considerably better than my old worn out suspension. I kept the air bags on to help when the...

Just wanted to report back in case anyone else has the same question. Like many mentioned above i think the airbags were a good choice for my setup as i don't keep the FWC on full time. If I did keep it on full time i'd probably go with a custom spring sufficient for the load. I used the...
