    Rear Wall Steps, Best Use?

    Hello All, I recently purchased a used 2012 Hawk, has "rear wall steps". Well ok, but kind of worthless to me. This is my second 4WC camper and loved first one! Was wondering if Wanderers might have better use(s) for these hardpoints that I might attach other gear. I am guessing they are pretty...

    My Top 4 Camp Spots in Baja

    Leaking 2001 Hawk

    I have had a couple of leaks this spring in my mid 80 FWC and think that I finally figured it out this weekend. I thought it might be the screws but upon further investigation the silicone seal I had between the top trim piece that wraps around the top of the camper and the top itself had a...

    Leaking 2001 Hawk

    Hi John, A few years ago I asked the guys at ATC about sealing the stitching around the window and window flaps of the pop-up liner of my unit because I thought they might leak. (Having owned many tents, I knew all that exposed stitching was a weak spot; however, so far no leaks.) Anyway, ATC...

    Ice chest drawer

    Great mod John, simple and functional. You might be able to delete the need for the support leg with some drawer side slides and a 3/4" plywood shelf. Should be strong enough to do the job. Just an idea. Hey there DLN,Thanks for taking a look. It seems your up the big hill from me. Yep that...

    Leaking 2001 Hawk

    John, Your gap seems slightly larger than on my ATC, but I'm not sure it is excessively so. I've had water, dirt, bugs and snow blow into the front liner while driving with the pop up down, but so far no leaks Just a quick question: Does your camper have that small cabinet over the couch? If...

    Ice chest drawer

    Hello All, As long as I was figuring out how to post pictures I thought I'd show some solutions to some issues I had with the cabinets I built last year before my trip. I really don't know what a stock interior looks like but I wanted to be able to grab a cool beverage from outside my camper or...

    Leaking 2001 Hawk

    I DIY'd my own with 'P' gasket, like the new rigs. I removed a few screws at a time around the edge banding and slid the gasket behind the banding, then tightened some screws and moved to the next set. Loosen nine screws, tighten the first six, loosen six more, ..., all the way from the...

    Leaking 2001 Hawk

    Wow you guys are on it! The top is plenty secure with the cam cleats. The gap is a horizontal gap because the top is is apparenty slightly out of square and oversized with the bottom half of the camper. The screws at the aluminum trim (top rim of camper) were carefully removed and replaced with...

    Leaking 2001 Hawk

    Hello All! It’s been a while since I've posted. Last time I was preparing for a Baja adventure about a year ago. All is good with my refurbished camper with the annoying exception of some leaks at the leading edge corners and a little back on each side. Some Background: This unit has the funky...
