Because for the last couple years FWC has been working on a new website That will be great when it comes online -- tho I hope they keep the old school animated gif somewhere on the site even though it reminds me of 1995 :P

I'm very surprised that FWC is not advertising this stuff. Looks like a great product. Why the big secret? No kidding. There's a good handful of options I had no idea about until I went to the factory and walked around with both a sales guy and Chipali, the production manager. I figured that...

Hey Ron- yeah I get my camper either next week or the week after. I got a Hawk w/ furnace, Waeco compressor fridge, dual AGM batteries, solar plug, rollover couch, hot water w/DSI, flood lights, screen door. I originally wanted to go with 2x T-105 6v batteries, which would give me over 200ah...

Ron, what's the finished weight of your hawk? There should be room for a second battery in the battery box if you wanted to wire in another in parallel to double your ah I'm planning on bringing my Honda eu2000 along on trips , I thought about solar but I tend to hit up the coastline and north...

Hey Ron, congrats on the camper, hope to pick mine up in the next week or so. Looks like the awning is a pretty slick design. Thanks for posting the pics Keith

Stan, what's the cost of that addition? I'm having a camper built right now, but I might end up adding it later. Keith

I don't know if these are the exact ones, but they look like the ones FWC is using. It basically looks like an incandescent fixture, but with two LED clusters instead of two incandescent bulbs. Here is a link to some LED tubes - pricey right now http://store.marinebeam.com/t8-led-bulb.html

So I went to FWC again yesterday to check out the LED vs Fluorescent thing again, and I am sticking with the fluorescent. There's just so much more light. How much do I need , I don't know, but in the display models they had, there was a huge difference. the LED camper had a very dim interior. I...

Coming down off of sunrise pass / red rock , looking west to caribou mountain.

This is the trail from Burlington to the Eel. Lovely stroll to the river...

I talked to the sales guy, I guess with me initially wanting to go with the smaller 3-way, Chipali mentioned my upgrade option at this point since they already built much of the cabinetry would be a CR-1080, and yeah it sounds like I still get storage above. I hear you about wanting all the...

From what I was told, the CR-1080 is the model FWC is offering right now. Did FWC give you a choice of the CR-1080 or the CR-1110? I wanted to just get it in during the build rather than have to do it myself post-build. I asked about whether I get storage above, and the sales guy said he...

I'm going to check out the LEDs again. You're right that this is the future. I'm also wondering what kind of LED that FWC uses. I'm also wondering if I should just stick with stock incandescent during the build and buy aftermarket LED bulbs. Going to explore this a bit more. Thanks

Verizon seems to reach a lot farther into the fringe areas (mountains and coast line). I dropped AT&T for Verizon a while back.

For you guys running compressor fridges, about how often does the fridge compressor come on for how long? I know this is an impossible question to answer accurately because of ambient temps and whatever you have in the fridge, but just trying to get a general idea of how many amp hours per day I...

Thanks everyone for the informative thread. I've used a Norcold 323 3-way in the past in a tent trailer, but now I am having a FWC Hawk built, and went with the same Norcold 323 in my initial build request. I just called FWC camper and they're right at the point where they will put the fridge in...

Super Cool Stan! I think I spied my Hawk in production! You guys are for sure rockin' in this tepid economy.

I just ordered a new Hawk on October 7th, and went to Woodland a few times to walk through the showroom models and examine the different interior light offerings. Between LED and fluorescent, I chose fluorescent because the light spanned better for general purpose lighting. LED lighting was more...
