Excellent, thanks!

I searched high and low for a falcon for a few months. Picked up mine last year end of September. Be prepared to pay for a Falcon though. They are few and far between. We are very happy we found one. It should fit our needs perfectly. For clarification, the Falcon will not fit in a Tacoma 5...

Considering that the post was from July of 2020, I'm going to guess that the OP no longer has them. If that is the case, let me know. I have the bars for a 5 foot bed (U-shaped and straight bar, 2 total). However, if the OP still has this item, I will not hijack a sale.

How did you use the thru-hull fitting to the outside? Do you have a photo of that? It is my understanding that the HS2000 can also be mounted in this fashion (upright with the logo facing towards you). Can anyone confirm that?

The cabinet where your heater is mounted, is it still vented to the exterior as well from the factory arrangement or only vented inside the camper? Also, where is your propane tank mounted?

Yep, I'm following. You have unheated air entering the round vent that faces the passenger side wall, heated air exiting the round vent by the clothesline, and any additional heat generated by the unit itself is allowed to flow through the rectangular louver into the camper and be utilized to...

This all looks highly logical, and I like the use of the thru-hull fitting on the back wall of the camper. Makes sense. Does the louvered vent also serve as your method of "return air" which the Propex utilizes? Do you find that you have sufficient air circulation with the placement of your air...

So, allow me to go off on a tangent. Bolting your camper to the truck using the bed bolts. I assume your camper was designed to be mounted this way. My Falcon was also designed this way. However, FWC told me that the most secure method of mounting would be using their tie down bracket kit and...

This makes stupid sense to me now. Didn't think of it before.

Aha! This is the solution I was searching for! Do you have pictures of how the heater is mounted and plumbed on the inside, as well as how you routed the ducting?

Ah yes, I see now that you are up in Canada, makes sense but doesn't help me too much. We are looking at trying to get our propane tank, heater, and batteries/electrical all in the driver's side rear corner cabinet that we will be building. I don't have any sketches that really help to...

Thank you both for the advice! The HS2000 should be sufficient as our Falcon is much smaller than a Hawk. Also great points about not having to worry as much about things in front of the heating element while also getting better heat circulation. We will be going with a Propex HS2000. Couple...

Leaning towards the Propex, but I'm concerned that it will not provide enough heat for the camper. Can anyone speak on this? We have a Falcon (smallest sized FWC no longer in production). Is anyone using a Propex HS2000 in a larger footprint FWC with success? If it works on a larger platform, it...

Propex does provide this info. Heat input: 7165 BTU. Heat output: 6483 BTU. A bit of math shows that the Propex is therefore is about 90.5% efficient in its heat delivery. Power draw is 1.9A. I was able to find input and output numbers for the dometic as well. Heat input: 16000 BTU. Heat...

Ok let’s talk heaters: My wife and I are in the planning stages of a full rebuild on a 2002 Falcon. From the factory, it was optioned with an Atwood Hydroflame 16000 BTU forced air furnace. Why on earth was 16000BTU necessary? Total square footage is only about 52 square feet and total volume...

Any updates on the performance of your Thinsulate thermal pack? Is it still holding up? Has the thin nylon been enough to keep condensation at bay until wiped up instead of soaking the insulation? Any issues with machine washability? Have you had any chance to test out the insulating properties...

Is this the kit for a long bed (6 ft) Tacoma? Seems to me like the narrower front portion of the short bed wouldn't work with that wide of a bar.
