Just got back from 2 months in Canada in our new (to us) FWC Hawk. Here are some photos of our Old Girl in her new camper. She loves traveling in it and the extended bed I made her allows her to look out the front windows of the truck. She HAS to be able to see the road and with our old...

Thanks Everybody I'm leaving for Canada tomorrow so the Hawk is what it is. I figure all these campers are works in progress and I could already spend months tinkering and modifying just the things I've thought of so far. Scott, I have tried span 3, but I will try it again in the "field" and...

I am finding that out! dsrtrat, I guess that's what I am learning here. I thought they would be more cold weather capable after reading this on the FWC site FAQ: :( Does the camper work well in cold weather? Yes, a Four Wheel Camper is designed to provide maximum comfort on or off road in...

Scott , It's the Hunter 42995B and I have tried all 3 span settings. There doesn't seem to be much difference between them. I am able to test it in my driveway since I'm in Utah and it's pretty cold right now. I've added carpet with ensolite foam underneath to the floor and Reflectex over...

Yeah Barko1 that's what I'm afraid of. If there was a way to set the span to 5 degrees or more the temps might fluctuate more but you wouldn't notice it while sleeping. I WILL notice if the furnace never shuts off. I don't have time to install a catalytic heater before our winter trip.:( 0...

I've been testing the furnace in the driveway for a couple of hours and have decided that the digital thermostat installed by the previous owner (Per Stan's install thread and same model) cycles the furnace off and on way too often. It seems to be too sensitive to a drop of 1 or 2 degrees and...

Thanks Davinski, I finally read your post closely and checked Sears website. It's the Die Hard "PLATINUM" and comes in both an automotive and marine deep cycle. I just installed a auto Platinum in the Tundra and after testing my furnace on the current Optima Blue top, I am going back...

No Odyssey Dealers in Utah? I checked the Odyssey web site and they don't show a dealer in Utah. Any one know of a Utah source or a comparable battery? I don't have time for shipping. Kevin

I have to replace the battery in my truck and have a Optima Blue top in the Hawk that could fit. I am thinking I would like a higher (longer?) Amp Hour battery for the camper and eventually (this spring) put a dual system in with solar. We will be full timing in the camper all summer and need...

Marc & Dsrtrat thanks for the install tips. It doesn't sound hard unless we get another snow storm! Mtn-High, I met my wife while living/ski bumming in Vail. My cousin still lives there and owns Pazzo's Pizzeria in the village. Thanks for the heads up on insulation. Did you find that your...

Thanks for the info I have not popped the top myself yet so I'm not sure just how heavy it is. I guess I didn't think the skis and box would be unmanageable. Might have to go to plan B, a small cargo trailer for extra gear with a heater to act as a drying room. Kevin

Hello All, Newby here. Just purchased a FWC Hawk (haven't even picked it up yet), from a forum member. We are putting it on a 2006 Tundra double cab 4x4 and heading to Canada for the rest of the winter. We are rabid skiers and this will be our ski resort hotel room (parking lot), and...
