I had a 2016 Hawk Shell and traded up to 2017 Hawk Front Dinette and had a 2013 Grandby loaner for a couple of weeks in between. I've loved all the factory beds as is. I have tons of nights on them too. I tend to get sore hips on too hard pads but these FWC beds work for me. I'm just giving...

Could you possible post a pic of your hanging basket? That sounds like a good setup. Thanks.

I just picked up my new Hawk Front Dinette with an inside shower. Do any inside shower owners have any tips, tricks, or advice about using the shower? I haven't used it yet and figure a little free expert/experienced advise will be helpful! Thank you! Brandon Albuquerque

ARB makes a nice scew lock plug socket kit. You direct wire the socket and mount it in your camper. The plug consists of a cig lighter adapter that comes apart revealing a pair of small prongs. When you use the screw lock it is a very positive and secure connection. You have the advantage of a...

As far as voltage goes, it is normal to see well above 12.0 V.

First reading is current voltage. Second reading is how much charge is currently coming in. Third reading is how much power was stored during the last charge cycle.

I have been using Wilson cell boosters since 2010. I highly recommend them. (I have nothing to do with the company - just a happy customer). I own a 4g unit from when the company was still Wilson. The model is a mobile 4G, SmarTech III, model no 460008. Weboost is just a new name for the...

Running one of those heaters inside a camper sounds like a good way to die.

My dealer, Denny Saunders at FWC Jackson Hole, showed me to keep the front of the camper higher than the back to get the front bumpers of the camper tight against the front of the truck bed. You lower the back of the camper onto the bed first and the bumpers in the front hit and push the camper...

What is the labeled carrying capacity of the ecodiesel truck? Seems like a nice setup. As to the Toyota Tundra - I have a 2011 tundra double cab with a hawk shell model with rollover couch and furnace. I added TRD Pro suspension last year. Only suspension mod for the camper is new spring pack...

I bought an aftermarket camera that plugs into the existing wiring harness. At first I mounted it on the flat vertical part of the bed behind where the tailgate was. It was too low and the license plate lights interfered with the view. I moved it up onto the camper itself. Just placed it on one...

I know this thread is old but I thought I would weigh in with an opposing opinion about 1/2 ton trucks. I have a 2011 Tundra Double Cab with a hawk shell model with quite a few options (Dry weight 1153 lbs). It is fantastic on-road and I'm sure my truck would greatly outperform ANY of the 3/4...

Thanks esimmers. Good info. I'm going to permanently wire in an iota with the iq4. Apparently this is a great charger for AGMs. My batteries are in fact AGM. Two 75ah. I'll try to figure out a way to have a plug on the outside of the camper to plug the generator into the charger. I didn't...

I haven't driven it much without the camper. I just had the spring work done and the camper installed in early September. After the spring work, I drove the truck empty in Boise for a half a day and then the 375 miles to Jackson to have the camper installed. It wasn't particularity rough riding...

I had a new FWC hawk shell model (1153 lbs) installed on my 2011 Tundra double cab on Sept 6 this year. Since then I have driven from Jackson Hole, WY to Albuquerque, NM and down to the Gila National forest (twice) from Albuquerque. I've been on two elk hunts (WY and the Gila in NM) and an elk...

Thanks for all the great info! I really appreciate it. I am out a lot in the winter and it can be cold (heater running alot) and cloudy for days. I also will spend a lot of time in the far north (AK, BC, Yukon) and it can be really rainy and chilly. I have only had the unit for a few weeks so I...

snorris- I have a hawk shell model on a 2011 Tundra Doublecab and it drives great. The only mod I did to the suspension is I had the rear springs modified to handle the extra weight without air bags or sway bars. I didn't want to change the off-road abilities of the truck. Boise Spring Works in...

Did you get the policy from your auto carrier or your homeowners carrier? Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

Thank you for the replies. So connecting direct to the batteries will not interfere with the solar charging system? Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

I have a new Hawk Shell model. It has a heater, lights, cooktop, and I use an ARB 50 qt fridge/freezer. The Hawk came with two 75 Ah batteries and a 180 watt solar panel so it has the Zamp solar 30amp charge controller and the blue sea battery separator. I added a 100 watt portable panel I can...
