update, i bought a 15 2500 6.4L laramie last night, four wheel camper hawk from my 4.7L 02 tundra will be going in shortly, ill give some real feedback. the laramie has 3080lb payload form the door sticker, the power wagon larimie has 1329lb payload form sticker. camper is 1245 dry, as much as i...

i have these same questions, im looking at 2015 6.4L 2500 or a power wagon, cant decide which one since the PW is 3/4 truck with 1/2 ton payload, i might just go 2500 and build to suit, but 6.4L nontheless. and 3.73 or 4.10 gearing for a 2500?

it appears the real numbers are: Power wagon is 1880lb pay load vs 2550lb for a normal 2500 (assuming that is with the standard 5.7L, i would add a 6.4L). that is 670 lb difference, and when you figure in the extras a power wagon has, factory winch, sway bar disconnect, skid plates front to...

im seeing conflicting payload capacities on RAM's own website, i see it listed as 1440lbs for the middle model PW in one spot and 3510 for the 2500 big horn. when i go to the compare models section, middle model PW is listed as 1880lbs and the big horn 2500 as 2230lbs. whats really weird, when...

snuffy, are you running with zero suspension mods? if so that is very enlightening. how much did the truck squat when you put the camper in, just enough to level out the factory rake? they are usually 2" or more higher in the rear anyway. doesnt sounds like you are that far off form me as far as...

snuffy, how loaded is your Hawk on the 15 power wagon and what mods have you done to the truck? just a shell, or fairly loaded camper? im a side dinette, compressor fridge, hot water, awning, solar etc. fairly loaded. excited you responded since its probably the combination im looking at the...

the power wagon TECHNICALLY is a 3/4 ton truck, built on the 2500 chassis with the same axles etc (lower gearing though). it has a softer suspension for articulation purposes which it seems drastically effects the cargo capacity. its listed in the 2500 section of dodges website, everything...

I currently own a 02 Tundra access cab with a 13 FWC Hawk in it, fairly loaded camper (hot water, awning etc), so i would guess 1300lbs give or take. Tundra i did add-a-leaf, bilsteen 5100's, and air bags with day star cradles. Tundra handles the camper OK, not awesome, but workable and i have...

there are 2 valves close to the pump for the hot water tank. one valve can totally isolate the hot water system (for those quick trips that you do not need hot water). closed it will not fill the hot water tank, open it performs as usual. the second valve is on the drain circuit. closed it...

Light hawk, do you happen to remember what size fairing you put on? 50" or 44"? Seem to be the best options

what floor plan do you have? i have the side dinette hawk and 2 31's will fit (not fun to get them in there). i only have 1 31 installed but wanted to make sure 2 would fit. should be the same battery box for the roll over couch, so no problem. 2 31's will not fit in a front dinette. i have a...

i just spent 2 windy nights in the great sand dunes national park (before the shut down of course). it was crazy, i bet sustained 35mph and gust over 70. guess the sand dunes were not formed by calm weather--right--ha anyway, for sure didnt sleep great, but didnt worry to much about the top...

and since the tail gate does not close, you will not have access to your spare tire. safety third!

when was the last time you saw a passenger vehicle (we call em SUV's now) that had a removable hard top? thats right, not since ford discontinued the BRONCO (i assume that was the last from my memory--which is foggy sometimes) so its not really cost effective for FWC camper to make a camper for...

i forgot to add, that when the meemory foam stiffens up from cold, it also BECOMES cold, its like sleeping on an ice cube after all.

i have always heard, but have no first hand experience, from people who make custom sleeping bags and back packs (which included sleeping pads) that you do not want memory foam. memory foam holds a high moisture content and when the temps get cold will freeze and do exactly the opposite of what...

i have an 02 tundra access cab and was in the same situation. i ordered the HAWK because i like the taller door that the hawk has for my nonflexibility. i also knew a future truck would either be a newer tundra, or tacoma, i liked the hawk so much i decided it will be a tundra. it doesnt look...

I've been on the phone with my agent's assistant as well as the agent himself probably 7 times, and i am actually one of there best customers and know me by name when i call (policies are constantly changing but usually 3 cars and 10 motorbikes is pretty consistant--relax, some are scooters)...

i searched, but looking for some current info and maybe CO specific. of course i got my new '13 HAWK last week. i called my insurance guy to get some coverage on it, just worried about someone rear ending me mostly, or coverage in some kind of accident. I was expecting not mush $ for coverage as...

and its landed, got it installed by rocky mountain FWC yesterday. 13 Hawk, side dinette, 80L compressor fridge, hot water/shower, furnace, awning, solar prewire (i have a system i need to install), etc. think im really gonna dig it, perfect amount of space/storage-hope i find that once in use...

Ironically I ordered a FWC hawk about 3 weeks ago, should be delivered next week, and I sold my 97 e350 4x4 diesel regular body pop top camper van yesterday. Van sold without even advertising it to a guy who approached me at a car show wondering if I would ever consider selling. I actually had a...

i can actually replay to this one, i have had 6 VW vans in my past,1 66 split window kombi and 5 of them being vanagon syncro's (4x4 vw vans) and the last one being a syncro westfalia weekender with a small cabinet installed (didnt take up as much floor space as a full westy). then of those i...

chris has been busy this week, ordered my Hawk on tuesday

I'm new to solar, and i can get a good deal on a BP 50W solar panel, featuring polycrystalline cell technology. my question is, will 50W be adequate to keep a house battery battery happy with a 2way fridge, and the occasional furnace run and normal lighing usage (im frugal in that area). i like...
