Selling our 2020 Hawk Front Dinette Link to Craigslist post: https://wenatchee.craigslist.org/rvs/d/dryden-2020-four-wheel-camper-hawk/7592045808.html 2020 FWC Hawk $29,000 Leavenworth, WA

Fits full-size pickups with 6.5’ bed, like F-150, Tundra, etc. Great camper, but the wife and I ride dirt bikes now and we bought a toy hauler. Please refer to the Craigslist ad for details: https://wenatchee.craigslist.org/rvs/d/dryden-2020-four-wheel-camper-hawk/7592045808.html

In general the stove seems a little, shall we say, limp-wristed. Anybody tinkered with it to crank out more BTU’s? Leave it to me to want my bacon NOW!

Thanks guys. Good idea on the breaker. Now that we cleaned her up and straightened out the duct work she ran like a champ last night.

Hi Vic, Upon getting in the camper and turning the thermostat on, the furnace would run for a good long while then stop before the thermostat turned off. Blinking light on circuit board pointed to the limit switch. Seems like it’s working now :-) Dave BTW the crew cab came in handy last...

The stock Dometic furnace in our 2020 Hawk is acting up. It throws a code that points to the limit switch. Before I go further, I’ll indulge in a small rant: When troubleshooting, people often blame the electronics for not working properly, when they really need to take a step back and start...

This website helped me go with a compressor fridge in our ‘20 Hawk. We got the Isotherm 130l unit, twin 6v batteries, and the 160w panel on top. No problem with power or keeping things cold. For a recent longer trip we added the 130w foldout panel that Overland Solar sells, and stayed in one...

Thanks Phil, I’ve been on USAA since ‘95, nothing but good things to say. We insure all our vehicles, homeowners, lots of financial instruments, they’ve been great. We have not looked into insuring our Hawk, and recently learned we need to plate it in WA (grrr), so your experience with USAA is...

This winter I totaled our 2000 F-150, plowed into the back of a Silverado in a whiteout. I’m not proud of that at all, and I’m glad nobody got hurt because I really nailed that Chevy. The Hawk was on the truck at the time and sustained no damage. I had considered trimming my bumpers down but wow...

So this spring we took the Hawk out for its’ first big trip. From WA to Joshua Tree and Death Valley. 3400 miles, 21 days. Observations: The old 2000 F-150 7700 we had was good but the 2001 F-250 is way better. The stiffer frame, longer wheelbase, and extra weight make the 250 a dream to drive...

Good luck,Vic, given the cost of trucks these days it makes sense to really think it through. Our well-kitted Hawk worked fine on our ‘00 F-150 7700 Extended cab short box, till I totaled it in a snowstorm. That’ll teach me. Luckily the camper received no damage. But the truck had 285,000 hard...

Overland Solar makes the stuff that FWC puts on their rigs. We’ve got a 160W semi rigid on top, mounted to Yakima rails. Currently considering their 130W fold-out (The Bugout) for our accessory plug-in on the back. 2020 Hawk

SnowJoe to push snow off the roof. 16’ extension ladder lashed to the side, using the mounts for the awning which we take off in winter. We leave the top up, heater on low, while out and about. Heat keeps the snow loose on the roof, easy to push off later. Inefficient but comfortable. It’s...

I looked into the same truck for our loaded Hawk and was warned by our mechanic, a good guy that I trust, that overloading the engine will kill it quickly. With the twin turbo design it’s easy to overstuff the cylinders. OK for a short burst of power but on a long grade with a steady overload...

I was going to trim the bump stops down for a better fit in an F-150, glad I didn’t.... ....because I totaled the truck in a whiteout caused by a gust of wind and snow coming off the trees. Plowed into a Silverado at a speed delta of about 20-25mph. The camper was not damaged. One of the...

Sounds like a fun trip! Condensation on the soft walls is the main drawback of the pop up camper, it seems. My basic strategy is to not care too much while using it, and pop it up, crank a heater inside it, and dry it out for a day or two after using it. So far so good :-) Enjoy the skiing...

Bike rack is not on truck but here’s a photo. The rack will last longer than me. 12” extension from Harbor Freight. Having the bikes on the back is not ideal, because they get coated with dust before reaching the trail head. If you’re as digital about your gear as I am, this is unacceptable...

SnowJoe. Telescoping handle, foam that doesn’t scratch. Very useful. About 30 bucks through Amazon.

Easy install. Valves are cheap plastic but they work. Low pressure water system helps.

It’s held on with two shoulder slings from the climbing rack, pipe insulation for padding, and some rubber tie downs.

This forum is a great resource. My wife Syd and I purchased a brand new hawk front dinette this past fall. Hot water, heat, outdoor shower, big fridge, solar panel, twin roof fans, twin 6 V batteries, king size bed. I work at Stevens Pass, WA and we live about 15mi east of the pass. We live in...

After a career of guiding in the mountains and spending most of my camp time making water, heating water, serving hot water, making more hot water, well, you get the idea, having hot water at the tap is beyond words. Two weeks ago I got us off route while mountain biking and the wife got into...
