Thanks for that experience with your Wildpeaks. Useful.

I recently purchased a set of Cooper AT3 LT and am very happy with these tires. I have around 4,000 miles on them with most of that being a XC trip back west this fall in some heavy rains. More recently had them on USFS roads. No complaints and preferred over my previous BFG. My Cooper AT3 LT...

@dcabernet Just wondering if you replaced your hot water tank and if you have pictures and advice. The tank in mine was fractured in the first year after the previous owner said he winterized it.

I would agree with others here that the Harbor Freight trailer would not be the one to haul your camper over road. I, in fact, have one that I use to move my Hawk in and out of winter storage. While it is perfect for this application, I wouldn’t want to trust it for any meaningful distance.

The payload for my truck is 2060-lb. I've not had it weighed loaded. But JHanson is correct that it needed some suspension aids. As I said I put new shocks and Timbrens. I was surprised how much affect the shocks made.

I have a 2016 F150 SuperCrew 4WD with the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine. I added rear Bilstein 5100 shocks and Timbrens. It handles my front dinette Hawk with no problems. Lots of power and good mileage (~20 mpg empty and ~18 mpg loaded). One consideration with the EcoBoost engine; you can get power...

Escapepod, what brand is your solar setup?

Old Crow. Thanks for this video. I found this also and am considering this as a fix. It seems like a nice integration of the new system while moving back to a simple charging wire that runs through a relay. I am still interested in what other newer F150 owners have in their trucks. Thanks...

That might, in fact, be the way to go. I took this route because that was the normal option in the past if the trailer package wiring was already in place. I didn't know that there was no separate relay until I went hunting for it and had the wiring in place. So I thought I would check in the...

I have a 2015 Hawk and recently upgraded by 2009 F150 for a 2016 F150. I have my new truck all set up with suspension upgrades and mounting but am having troubles with charging. The new truck is: Ford F150 XLT 3.5 Ecoboost FX4 Package Sport Package Max Tow Package On my 2009 truck, there was a...

I had never camped in the rain with our Hawk until this spring. We were behind Mt Hood in a campsite with large trees when it started to rain. We deployed our awning to stay dry and didn't put it back before going to bed. That night it was like a drum going on. Since then we've had other nights...

So what is your approach that saves install time? Did it pan out the way you had hoped?

Good recommendations. They definitely keep records!

Just came back from a trip to BC. I didn't travel with my camper but asked at the Canadian border crossing about bringing it in. They indicated that for my case, where it was not staying, I would simply travel as usual. Nothing special. They said if I were leaving it in Canada, that slide-in...

That makes sense. Will still ask and see what they say. They are pretty used to seeing us cross. Our neighbors also bought a camper van last year. I can't remember if they bought it in the States but they've definitely traveled here for extended periods. So they likely have some advice.

BillD. That's a good heads-up. I'll ask specifically about this item on the Canada side.

Yes, I am the happy new owner! I live in Idaho and have a second home in BC. This is my first camper. Just brought it home today to Idaho, so no experience yet bringing it to BC. But I'll be going up next weekend and thought I would ask questions at each border to understand what I should and...

Following this old post on suspension. I was wondering if you added the Hellwigs to the front, back, or both?

Thanks Ken and David for all your help. And thanks to all on this forum for all the education. Made the trip home easy. Very happy with our (new) FWC Hawk and looking forward to lots of adventures. Spent our first night out on the way home in the Salmon River Canyon.
