Anybody looking for a great little Hawk that fits a Ford F-150 (and probably some other trucks), email me. It is a loaded 2009 and in super good condition. I will sell if for 10K. It will appear on Craigs list probably Friday. I am out of town from Tuesday to Friday morning, but will try to...

Casa, yes we were there on Tuesday and Wednesday,along with a few hundred thousand of our friends. Did you notice how every time a buffalo appeared, it caused massive traffic jams. Buffalo seem to be taking over the entire park. A few years ago, you mostly just saw them along the north edge. Now...

From my experience in the mountain west, most RV parks will let me use a tent site with no hookups rather than pay for full hookups that I dont need or want. I did have one RV park in Nevada,in Elko I think, tell me that truck campers were not allowed in their park. I told the manager that I...

Just got back to the Mile High City after a week in the Yellowstone country. Very smoky up there due to forest fires, and crowds were very heavy for this time of year. I tried out my new Wave 3 heater and it worked fine. Really an improvement over the stock heater, and I dont have to worry about...

I went up to the local hardware store and got some left handed nuts and lock washers to try on the other side along with the regular wing nuts. Guess they dont make left handed wing nuts. Maybe that will do the trick. This way I will have both sides cinched down tight. By the way, you squids out...

I havent broken the code on getting my turnbuckles to stay tight. According to other posts, putting wing nuts and lock washers on them seems to help out. I did this, but only on one side of the turnbuckle. Do you have to put the wing nuts on both sides of the turnbuckle? I am going to try this...

The advice from CJ in CA is the best piece of advice anybody has come up with. We were under a tight time constraint and didnt get to check out fully everything on the camper. As a result, I have spent untold hours either correcting problems myself or having a RV dealer here work on them. We are...

Basically a good camper and well built. Had an issue with the water pump freezing. Anybody ever had to try to replace it? Lots of luck! You practically have to disasemble the camper to get to the pump. Also, Four Wheel makes a big deal about the lightweight issue. This is really bogus. The dry...

I have a Hawk on a 2005 F-150. I believe the Granby is about 100+ pounds more weight. I have a set of Air Lift air bags which greatly improved the ride/stability/level of the truck. Otherwise you will probably have some rear end sag with the Grandby on the truck. Otherwise, I believe the Grandby...

Hey Phird, I really liked your original message. Thought I was the only nerd that spends hours tindering with my Hawk, usually out in the snow. I have it on the side of the house here in the Mile High City. Built a cover on a frame to try to keep the snow off to some extent. I reinforced the...

Everyone complains about the hard beds. I took it a step further, but taking out the hard factory mattress and getting a 1.5" memory foam pad at WalMart. then I got a regular foam cushion that was 3" think. The factory bed is only 4", but when you change to the memory foam/regular foam combo...

Well the problem with the reefer gas pilot not lighting is partly solved. A repair guy came out and suspected that the gas tube was dirty. He blew it out with a compressed air hose and got a bunch of metal filings and sawdust out of the line. We believe it was from the construction of the camper...

I tried holding the button in forever also. I practically wore out the sparker. I am convinced that it is not air in the line. One time (last night) it actually lit. I let it run all night and it cooled down the reefer. this morning I cut it off and tried to light it again, but no luck.I was...

Old RaiderRed is now officially a member of the Four Wheel community. I took delivery of a new Hawk a few days ago at the factory in Woodland. As someone else said, they got tired of being the 9th person to call on a used camper only to find out the first person that called bought it. So I broke...

If you are close to a Camper World, they sell a great one called "RV Sealant". Dont have the number of it now, but it is great, but sticky. Sorta pricy, about $7-8 per tube, but it works great.

I am looking for a used Four Wheel, preferably a Hawk, but they seem to be in short supply. I have a 2005 F-150 regular bed. Has anyone modified an Eagle or Ranger of fit a larger bed? I believe the 2 issues are the tie downs and the jacks, and getting them to clear the truck sides. I have 69"...
