    Got My Hawk Installed

    So the last several days have been busy getting the camper ready for the shakedown trip. It turns out that the onboard battery isn't an Interstate after all. It's an East Penn (Deka) 'Intimidator' 79Ah AGM. I call the East Penn rep here in Langley and they put me onto Napa Auto Parts as a...

    Got My Hawk Installed

    highz - Thanks! I'm hoping to get out on the road next week. Ramblinman - I did order the camper from Gary at FWC Canada. I spoke with Stan and asked about ordering from FWC direct - I wanted to go get the camper from the factory, make a trip out of it etc. However, Stan said I had to deal with...

    Got My Hawk Installed

    The rear info sticker says 740lbs. - but I think that's a generic number. I'm going to fill the truck tomorrow and take it to the commercial scale. I don't have my Engel installed yet, and no water or propane on board either. I've weighed the truck and occupants before, so I'll have a pretty...

    FWC rear awning

It hadn't hit the option list yet when I placed my order. I also noticed your WTW join date is the same...

    FWC rear awning

    As it turns out, the camper in the photos is mine. I just got it installed yesterday, and it's now sitting on my truck in my driveway. From the factory to Langley in four days! The awning is made from the same material as the pop-up siding - I was surprised at how sturdy/thick the material...

    Dismounted Height of Hawk?

    Thanks for the replies so far, LT Traveler - thanks for the 7" estimate, I thought maybe 12" - but looking at more photos, you're likely closer. rotti - I hadn't thought about a trailer, I guess because I had the platform idea in my head. I looked at the Harbor Freight site and while a trailer...

    Dismounted Height of Hawk?

    Hello All, I'm a new member to the WTW forum. I've been reading the site for quite awhile, but held off joining/posting until I'd bought a FWC. Reading the FWC user forum greatly helped me with my decision - so thanks for all the useful and insightful posts! I ordered a Hawk from Gary at FWC...
