    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Leaky Hawk

    Thanks for the reply folks. I too, was wondering about the windows. When I popped it up I noticed the window on that side may not have been Velcro’d perfect. I’ll also give the turnbuckle an extra turn. Thanks.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Leaky Hawk

    I have a 2022 minimally used Hawk. I drove through a fairly heavy rain yesterday. When I popped it up last night there was wetness in the front driver side corner of the bed. The soft wall was also wet. I do have a 4” memory foam mattress on top of the stock cushions, but the top closes very...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New thermal pack: quilted with lower window covers

    Those do look nice but my gosh what they charge for both the basic and the upgrade is absurd!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Electrical basics and upgrading to lithium!

    Update, This morning the Renogy DCDC50A pulled up to 43ah with the battery down to 70% (solar disconnected, alternator only). So it seems to working just fine. As above, the charge rate must drop when is goes into absorption state if the battery is near full...like in the 90% SOC range. It...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Electrical basics and upgrading to lithium!

    That was my thought….charging tapered off at near full SOC. I ran the heater last night and it only dropped to 92%. In reality I’m not sure I’ve ever even run it down to 50%. I’ll keep the heater going and turn on some lights to try to get it to run down further… Then recheck. Thx!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Electrical basics and upgrading to lithium!

    Hello first, thanks to KP for the great thread! Rather than start a new thread I'll just ask here... I installed a Renogy 12v 50A dcdc this weekend. I ran 4 gauge wire for the whole system. All the lights came on properly. I selected the correct battery (single 12v AGM, 90ah). Attached the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Here is how to prevent getting locked out of camper

    I've got a 2022 Hawk and my lock looks different than the one in your picture. Anyone know if this would be an issue with my lock? Like others I never use it. I just use the main deadbolt. ] And locked position....

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Water Leak Between Vinyl and Cab Over

    I knew I'd get asked "How".......I pulled a rookie move and left the front passenger side latched when popping up. Bent the frame. Fortunately not bad and it bent right back using the 2x4 method. But it did pull the bolts out. They screwed back in. Lady at FWD service dept indicated it shouldn't...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West furnace won't light at elevation and cold

    Thanks for the post. I'll try that first if/when it fails again. Well I was out for 3 nights with last night down the mid 30's and snow line less than 1000ft up. Furnace worked like a champ, albeit only 1800 ft or so. Untitled by cory shuler, on Flickr

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West furnace won't light at elevation and cold

    I'm inclined to think if it was lint in the sail switch it wouldn't come back on until cleaned. My heater failed at elevation (7-9.5K ft) and low 30 degree temps. It fired right back up when I dropped back down to 2800 and warm temps. Hasn't failed since. I'm going out this weekend. Weather is...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West furnace won't light at elevation and cold

    Thanks for the reply! I'm pretty certain this was the issue. I'm glad to know there is a work around. It would be totally ridiculous if these furnaces were obsolete at low temps and/or elevation.

    I guess I'll remove the duct if/when it happens again. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West furnace won't light at elevation and cold

    Great. Thanks for the replies and the links. I've had a look a the vid and done some more googling. So is the thought that with colder air the sail switch is not functioning as it should?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West furnace won't light at elevation and cold

    Hello, I got a brand new 2022 hawk the spring. I took it out a handful of times in cooler weather and the furnace works fantastic. Coldest nights/mornings probably upper 30s. Elevation not more than 5000 feet. Haven't used the furnace all summer. Did a trip this weekend to the mountains. Was...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Side mount for kayak ideas?

    those are narrow for a kayak. I did find something similar. The problem is the spacing is a bit too wide to hold the kayak.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Side mount for kayak ideas?

    Thanks folks. I was able to take a look at my friends system and it’s built out of the 80/20 material. Though I’m not totally sold on his design. I like the rail system Salt Made offers. I think I’ll order the brackets from Salt Made (thx for the link) and rails from 80/20 themselves. Much less...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Side mount for kayak ideas?

    My new Hawk shell was delivered a couple weeks ago and I'm really excited. What I really need is to figure out a way to mount a whitewater kayak to the side. I have a standard yak rack on top but having a quicker side mount option would be really nice. Anyone out there have ideas for bolting...
