Hi all, I just put my 2011 Four Wheel Hawk up for sale on Craigslist today. Must apologize to all here that I deserted to going bigger with a Fifth Wheel. My wife and I are retiring in a year and her butt and my belly are conflicting in the Hawk. Really hard letting go of it, lot of great...

I went with a portable for now the Go Power GP-PSK-80 80 watt solar kit. I hard wired a duplex cable to my 2 aux batteries and routed the cable over the carpeted lower area that holds the table leg down into the storage compartment. When I hook it up to the solar cell, I simply feed it out thru...

I went with a portable for now. I hard wired a duplex cable to my 2 aux batteries and routed the cable over the carpeted lower area that holds the table leg down into the storage compartment. When I hook it up to the solar cell, I simply feed it out thru the access door for the turnbuckle along...

Looks clean.I wanted to go with a used FWC, could never find one. They go fast. Ended up biteing the bullet and bought a new Hawk. you'll love your Grandby.

"Qualifies for 30% federal tax credit which includes any installation costs, adding batteries, inverters and anything associated with the solar purchase." I saw this statement at the following link. Has anyone heard of this? It says "tax credit", not write-off. There has to be a catch, but...

We won't be able to make it, will be in Long Beach that weekend for the Indy Grand Prix. Pat

This is the last picture of my mod. This is the .032 alum baffle installed at the upper edge of the lower vent. The bottom edge of the Reflectix pad that I installed on the wall is attached to it. Now I will have to wait a few months for the weather to heat up to see how much of a improvement...

Here are 2 more pictures of my frig mod. 1st is where I fabed layers of Reflectix to fill the 2 3/4" open dead space above the frig to elimnate the heat being trapped. 2nd is where I fabed a pad that is attached to the inside of the outside wall of the Frig compartment that extends the entire...

After reading this post, I realized that I also needed to try to improve my frig performance in hot conditions. Did research on the web and I came up with these mods. Finished this weekend and here are the pics. 1st picture is 2 80mm fans installed on .090 alum brackets. 2nd picture is 1 80...

Were going on a 7 day river trip and want to leave the 4WC (Kestral) at the takeout. We will start with a full tank of propane and am hoping the frig (Dometic) will run all week in the hot april sun so we have cold ones when we get back to it. Has anybody ever calculated or posted how long the...

Stan, Are you saying that if you order a new Hawk with the large 3.0L fridge, it already comes with a fan in it for better cooling? Kilroy, Yes that is what Stan is saying, I have a 2010 Hawk that has the fan. It does help, I have forgot to turn it on during a hot day and noticed the...

The picture that WaltK provided is typical of the passenger side of a Hawk. The vertical frame piece that is forming a "T" with the 5" channel piece above may be your best point of attachment. This vertical frame piece is where the fire extinguisher is attached. The 5" wide channel piece that...

From my experience experimenting with a studfinder on my Eagle I came to the conclusion that the studfinder was confused by the outer camper skin, which is a sheet of aluminum. The frame of the camper is mostly welded out of very thin square or rectangular aluminum tubing. And the welding is...

I am thinking of mounting a TV mount next to the louvered passenger side window towards the back in my 2010 Hawk. I tapped on the area and it feels solid. I ran a stud finder across the area and it looks like there is a sheet of aluminum welded in place. When I looked at the only picture that I...

Do you have a West Marine near you? Thats where I get my 303. Pat

Reminds me of the saying "don't come knockin if this van is rockin" Might want to control what goes on in that cabover :( Yeah, I was thinking the same thing myself. Seriously, I was thinking of just setting the camper jacks on the ground for added support. I am also thinking of using a couple...

This is a question to Stan: I am going to make the Interlocking Camper Support System that you posted a couple of years ago. When the camper is on this system is the camper stable enought to support 2 people in the extended cabover bed, is the base weighted down enough to keep the camper from...

That thing looks GREAT!!! Nice job on the install. Its got a light too! SWEET! :D Im interested to hear your power consumption. I think I am going to end up going Engle SB70. What was the reason that made you go Truckfridge? At the end of the day those two ending up battling it out for...

Look'in Good, have fun.

On the reefer pilot light going out when in transit, I have not had mine ever go out when traveling and I run it on propane all the time.

Heres a closer look at the clip. Here are the photos of my lift assists with the spring loaded clips: The broom clips are entirely white and the 2 finger grip areas are metal. I shrunk black heat shrink on the areas so that if you did happen to rub up against them or bump your head on them...

Photo please.... Explorer, I'll be taking the camper out this weekend, will take pics and post. Pat

Oh - BTW, I've noticed that the roof lifting is easier when the door or windows are open. :D:-) When I ordered my camper, Stan told me that you keep the windows closed and the door open when lifting the roof. I found that lifting the roof without the assists is a bit of a pain in the front...

I agree! The screen has some wiggle room. Get yourself a helper and have them push up and to one side on the screen frame from inside while you push on the screen frame from outside the camper. It should pop right out just like KK7OQ shows in his post. When re-installing place the top edge...
