Yeah.. I agree.. but Stan and others often view this forum and respond so I figure asking here might help others too

Congrats! Looks great! What i suggest (and it seems like youre doing it) is to use it as is for a bit and THEN design the mods and replacements. Whats in your head now may not be the best solution after you spend some time in it and realize this would be better over here, that would be...

Hey All I am in the process of converting my 2014 Tundra DC to a scratch built flatbed and mounting my 2018 Hawk Front Dinette to it permanently. Fabricator friend is going to be building this flatbed from 100% scratch and completely custom for my needs. Since it will be 100% custom built, we...

Gorgeous setup, good luck with sale. Curiosity, why on earth selling it so quickly? I loved following this build, he does amazing work.

Thanks All. I just picked up (2) Centennial CB6-250s to replace the stock (2) 12v Dekas and will be adding almost 100ah. I will NOT be keeping the 12v batteries and NOT adding them. Thanks

Personally, I don’t see the benefit.. I upgraded my lift struts and the roof takes the same amount of pressure to lift now than it did without solar. That’s a non issue. For me, I’d prefer tried and true reliable versus something new to the market that hasn’t really seen 4-5 years of extreme...

Yes, the ones I am using are mono.. Newpowa 175W 175 Watt 12V... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0772PD96K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share CORRECTION, after just checking my amazon orders, I am using one of their 175 watt panels in the front and their 100 watt panel in the rear (to fit with second vent)...

Vic Yeah, the NewPowa 175 watt panels are the same dimensions as the Renogy 100 watts and fit PERFECTLY between the frame rails and even fit nicely behind the second vent. Highest rated on amazon and very affordable. Highly recommended. I camp in any conditions, shade, rain, etc... But I...

I did my own solar based on Vic and others advice here. I am running the Victron system with both the battery monitor and the MPPT monitor. I am running (2) 175 watt NewPowa panels on the roof for a total of 350 watts. I BRIEFLY had a portable with my old setup, and it was a pain in the ass...

Thanks for all the advice guys! Based on the responses here and in the FB group, if anything, I will just replace the 12s with the 6s and not try to combine them all. I ordered the 12v adapter for the cpap and will try that with my current configuration! THANK YOU

Excellent points! Thank you!

That’s actually a damn good idea! Thank you!! I’m new to the CPAP world and didn’t even know 12v operation was an option! Thanks

Another thing to consider is polarity of the plug to your buddies panel. Unless its a ZAMP brand panel, chances are 90% it will have its polarity backwards for how the FWC is wired.

Hey All Loving my 2018 Hawk and this group! I just got a CPAP and want to use it while traveling as well. I've been contemplating the switch to 6v for some time, and just had an idea. I'm a barebones type of guy and travel light. I am currently running the (2) stock deep cycle 12v that came...

This is awesome! Welcome to the cult, errr.... I mean family :) Love the outlook on life, I'm in my 40s and look at life the same, wish I did when I was in my 20s! Are you on IG? If so, mine is: instagram.com/fullsizeadventurewagon Im in San Diego and always exploring and enjoying beers at...

Thank you very much Chris, that is a bit less than I was expecting honestly. This is freaking awesome, and I will likely being going the same route within a year or so! Cheers!

Amazingly done and exactly what I hope to convert mine too next year! Excellent design and work! Ballpark estimate, if you don't mind posting?

If i was doing it all over again, i would of NOT got the furnace they provide and installed a Propex. Many (myself included) have had a ton of problems with the heater/furnace in the new FWC's My .02

The older ones had an optional rear awning that slid in there and was super slick and useful. Bummed they stopped making it. Ive been trying to make my own and its been put on the back burner for now.

Look at other options. The currently installed Atwood is less than ideal and several have found much better options.

My pleasure, hopefully it helps someone in the future

Exactly. If i was mostly traveling the country RV style and sticking to mainly pavement, it would be a great combo.

I have a 2014 Tundra 5.7L with a SLIDE IN Hawk. I am offroad more than most, and tend to drive the harder spots and trails. I can say with 100% certainty, the Tundra, regardless of what suspension mods are done to it, is not an ideal platform, especially for the heavier flatbed. Will it...

Hey Man This is Kevin from the FB group. I am 99% sure i saw you in Borrego this weekend. Did you highbeam me over near the sculptures as i was heading out? I noticed youre also in SD. Youre welcome to swing by and check out and drive my truck anytime. Also, i have a set of adjustable...
