Do you still have your camper? I have a 2021 Ford 150 Crewcab 5 1/2 bed. I sold my Hawk a while back and looking for another similar pop up camper. I’m in the Santa Barbara area. Thanks so much, Terri Rose terrisjoy@yahoo.com

Thank you so much for all your support and hard work keeping Wander the West alive and functioning. Over the years I have so enjoyed being a part of this amazing resourceful community. I wish you well with your future endevors, thanks again . Terri

Dear Fellow Wanderers, With mixed emotions it is time to announce that I am stepping down as owner of Wander the West effective immediately. The site will now be owned and operated by Andy R who started a small company focused on fostering online communities. I spoke to Andy at length before...

Remember front opening fridges, as do all things, obey the laws of physics. Good luck. Engle makes a great drawer slide, that way you could have easy access from outside your camper. Just a thought.

On a more serious note, I got out over the last week and did some great hiking to some of my favorite fly fishing areas, and also spent several days on my road bike. Prior to my trip, I changed my tie downs from the old chains and aluminum turnbuckles system and installed the "XL Spring Loaded...

Awesome stuff in here, thanks everyone! That was the shove I needed. Planning on a Monday departure, if I can get my a$$ in gear and also kick this flu. Need to get a board/ski rack for the FWC, stock up on food (aka chunky soup, instant noodles, and pistachios), propane, etc. No worries...

Hey Terri Did you buy your camper used ? And if so, did you have to put a small platform or spacer under the camper so it fit your Ford SuperDuty properly ? The reason I ask is that the new (2004 - 2011) Ford F-150 trucks have a deeper truck bed than most other trucks on the market. When...

:rolleyes: I've just recently acquired a mid-eighties Grandby that I'm very excited about. It's very dirty, leaks and has holes in the pop-up fabric but I'm not afraid of that. In fact, I'm excited to tear in to it and fix it up. But here's the thing. I've never owned nor even slept in a...

I have a 2007 Hawk that we're selling. Asking price is $8500.00. It's very clean, non-smoker and loaded with most options. Located in Brentwood, CA. (NorCal 94513) If interested, I'll post up the build list tonight. Edit: Just saw you purchased one. Should have read the complete thread...

Your sooo right, I love my new truck. It is so different from the Ford 250 diesel I traded in. This is my first crew cab, I'm amazed at all the room in the back seat. Yesterday It was raining a bit and I could hear the rain on the roof of the truck because it's so quiet. I just miss having...

You're going to love that new F150!!!! B)

I have a Hawk camper on a 2005 F150 4x4 Supercrew with the 5-1/2 foot bed. It hangs off the back a bit, but I could not pass up a deal on the used truck, which is a nice Lariat model too. I use a two step folding plastic stool from the usual RV supply stores, and I leave the tailgate off...

Just make sure you can still get to your spare tire. I'd go to the junkyard and find one of those spare tire let down thingys that fit together (just like yours) and use it to extend your current one. Seeing how the camper isn't gonna stick out that much, you could probably get away with one of...

Thanks so much, that makes sense about the tailgate. Thanks for your reply. Terri

Thanks so much for your reply. I have the numbers I'm wondering if anyone else has had this same situation and what their feedback was. I realize because of the crew cab the extended bed will look a bit strange, I know it will work ok but looking for feedback..Thanks, Terri

Help! Has anyone put their Hawk on a Ford F150 4x4 Crew Cab 5 1/2' bed? How much will it hang over and how do you get into the camper without access to the bumper? Should I leave my tailgate on? Since buying my camper in 2005 I'v always had an extended cab with a 6' bed which worked well...

Some randoms... Is your Tundra a 5 1/2 foot bed? Did you have to raise the bed up to clear the rails of the truck? Terri

The eco-boost is impressive. We bought a 2010 F-150 with the the "old" 5.4 engine. It drives and rides better than any vehicle that I've owned before. I've started referring to our CR-V, which did two trips to Canada and one to Alaska and the Yukon, as "the Go-Kart". So far we're averaging a bit...

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! Thanks.... I'm excited! Now to plan the maiden voyage in my new rig! Terri

My bed is even shorter. 2004 Nissan Titan Crew Cab. Check with 4 Wheel. I'm sure they'd show you how it can work. They probably sell new Hawks to folks with your new truck. As I understand it, the Hawk is for short bed full size trucks. They recommended I take the tailgate off anyway as that...

Like you Terri - My Truck also has a 5 1/2 foot bed (it's a 2008 Toyota Crew Max Tundra that I haul my horse trailer) but if you do the research, a Hawk can fit on it. The pics that Stan from FWC has posted show Tundra Crew Max trucks with their tailgate still on hauling them. I've also seen...

Hi Terri- I live in the Santa Ynez Valley and have been considering either a full Hawk or a Hawk Shell for my 2008 Toyota Tundra. I'm kinda swamped this weekend, but would like to see your Hawk in person and see if it would be good for my uses. I wish you the best in your truck shopping and...

Price? $7500.

Thank you for the response. i have a 2010 tundra and it has been a great truck so far. I looked at the Tundra and Tacoma, that was acually my plan after the 250 Diesel nightmare. However, because of my efforts trying to reclaim some sort of sanity with this diesel trade in I stayed with the...
