I have a portable 100W hard zamp panel as well as a generator. I have found the generator to be the best solution up here in Alberta (plenty of shaded campsites). I have not bothered too much with the portable solar panel.

Same here. Plug my 2000 watt Honda in when I am camping remotely and shade prevents adequate charging from solar. Simply plug an extension cord into the end of the shore power cord that is attached to the trailer. On average, I seem to get about 20-30 amps/hr when bulk charging with it.

Great idea. I had considered this option but was concerned about 2 issues: 1. The stress on the roof rails applied by the hinging motion of the hullivator 2. Interference with my solar panels - Have you noticed any apparent problems/issues with the roof rails over a year of use? Jason

I would also be interested in a pair if you are willing :) Jason

Hadn't heard of that up here in Canada...

Hey David - one option is to modify the trailer a bit and try to install a carrier onto the frame of it (the rails that sit in front of the main box might have enough space).

I would agree. If possible, use the original battery in another application. Otherwise, just go ahead and wire in parallel

Hi everyone - looking for advice from the group. I currently have a 2013 Ram 2500 with a Hawk. On my trips, I typically tow a utility trailer loaded with gear and a fishing raft (total trailer weight is about 1500 lb loaded). I am looking at buying a small dual sport motorbike to act as a...

Same here. Also on ferry crossings ...

I had the exact same issue with my Dometic 85L in my 2013 Hawk (which was not vented). Despite 300W solar it was still draining down the batteries fairly frequently. I finally pulled the trigger and had FWC replace the unit with an Isotherm 85L at the factory. This involved a bit of cabinetry...

Hi Ragnar - Welcome to the forum! Would you mind posting a pic or link of the remote switch you used for the lights? I have been thinking of doing the same mod. Jason

Hey guys - The water system on my 2013 Hawk confuses me. I am trying to winterize the system (it gets real cold up here in Canada over the winters!). As far as I can tell, there is a lower shut off valve that prevents water from draining back into the fresh water tank when closed (so you...

CWD - cool. That sounds like my setup I used when I was rooftop tenting. I had a modified Zodi set up that I wired up to my 12V truck battery with an on/off switch. It was convenient to be able to draw water from any source.

I like the idea of the cord to minimize space when stored. Think it will maintain enough tension when the shower curtain is wet to hold it out a bit and give enough space in the shower? Props were deserved bud. I am just building from your idea.

CWD - Totally agree. Tough to find an simple and effective way for the water to drain. With my current set up, I simply lift the tub and angle it a bit once I am out of the shower to drain out the remaining water through the bottom hose. Then the quick disconnect allows me to remove the drain...

Phil - Yep, simply replaced the pump. Took about 15 minutes. Never had time dismantle the pump to be sure. But, I never had the same issue after running antifreeze through the pump. Still, I can't be absolutely sure that freezing caused the problem... Jason
