There is both a county beach park and town beach park in Surfside, TX. The county park is free, I don't remember any limit but could be 14 days. The town beach has a fee, not sure of limit 'cuz I always stay t the free county park. You can drive for miles on the beach and I was usually at least...

Very informative, I'm feeling good about my F 150, albeit as JWL stated, best not to run into anything. Thanks for posting the video.

Is anyone planning to attend the Overland Expo Mountain West event Aug 27-29 in Loveland, CO and is FWC going to have a owners camping area? I'm attending and volunteering and would like to camp with other FWC owners. I know in the past FWC has had an area designated for owners at other...

Thanks Jon R, I am now thinking of the Victron Orion-TR Smart 12/12 - 18 Amp Isolated DC-DC charger. For another $100 in does not require an additional wire to sense engine on and it has built in blue tooth. I don't think the 18 Amp vs 20 amp is significant for me but the Victron unit seems to...

I have a 2016 Ford F150, with a smart alternator and my 2019 FWC Hawk has a Blue Sea 7611 Auto Charging Relay with Aux Battery priority. During every trip I've taken, plus leaving my National Luna 50L Refrig/Freezer on all the time, I have never had a problem with getting my 2 x 6 volt 260 amp...

Wait one minute, Who puts lettuce on a hot dog????? LOL Amazing control.

I used the Thermocell on the Magruder and it works. I wasn't sure it was working until I turned it off and the mosquitoes appeared shortly there after.

I started on the IDBDR in Lowman, ID 7/5/21, and planned to follow it to Wallace. when I got to Elk City the Dixie Fire was growing and it was real smokey. I was able to drive the Magruder to the end and when I arrived in Darby, I discovered the Lolo Fire was expanding with a section of road...

I had a 2014 eagle shell, before my current hawk, the solar wires terminated behind a small wooden block on the drivers side in the corner above the bench at the cab end of the Eagle, remove the screws if you have that block, its approx 2" square and the wires may be there.

I have Foremost on my 2019 Hawk, and Farmers on my F150. Foremost is a subsidiary of Farmers and specializes in RV insurance. The Hawk policy is a separate policy and has a "replacement" value clause, I think it costs me around $300 a year. Having had a previous total loss with my Ranger/FWC...

pretty cool

I agree with ski3pin, there was a time that persons who went into the backcountry learned first hand how to do everything from someone who knew how to do everything, be that a parent, mentor, friend or instructor. Just like we all learned self hygiene at home from someone, our parents in most...

That's an incredible price. A year and a half ago I purchased two Renogy, 260 amp hour, 6 volt AGM batteries for $449, which gives me 130 usable amp hours at 50% DOD, their total weight is somewhere in the neighborhood of 140 lbs. This 100 amp hour Li Renogy battery would yield 90 usable amp...

I believe someone either told me or I read it on another post on the forum, that the propex system, which I did install in a previous FWC eagle shell is not RVIA certified, therefore FWC can't use it. I'm not aware if the Webasto is RVIA certified.

DOMETIC TO ACQUIRE FRONT RUNNER VEHICLE OUTFITTERS The recent news that Dometic is buying Front Runner, saddens me. I have a few products i purchased from Front Runner and I have been extremely happy with both the product and the quality of the product. I have been a full-time RV for over 23...

Many years ago, I had a Scamper pop-up truck camper. I added a small solar power fan in the "flue" area near the coils and it really helped. We were in Moab and the inside of the refrigerator was only 50 degrees, after adding the fan it got down to 40 degrees. It was a kit made specifically for...

I have a 2016 F150 FX4, XLT, supercab, 6.5 ft bed, 2.7 eco boost twin turbos, with a 2019 FWC hawk permanently mounted. Long trips on highways, usually driving 65 -70 mph, I get the following Ave highway about 14 MPG worst with head wind 11 MPG, couldn't keep the trans in 6th speed, kept...

no

As many have said here and in other threads, it really depends on how you will use it. I went with the EZI awn 270 batwing, on the passenger side. I'm a fly fisherman and use it a lot at lunch time when the sun is straight overhead and they is zero shade except under my awning. The 270 is quick...

Just two more things to consider. 1- When you get your new camper, your battery will be new and therefore that is the best time to add a second battery of equal size and type. So for $100-150 or so you double your capacity and camp worry free. 2- Your new battery will also be worth the most if...

I purchased my 2019 Hawk in Montana. Made road trip from Texas, no sales tax in MT, Steve did a great job on the install and was great to work with. Denny is the owner of both shops in WY and MT, I can't say enough positive stuff about the process, I highly recommend them. MT is a bit closer...

I was recently camped in the Springs Mts outside Las Vegas, in my 2019 hawk, not sure of altitude but probably over 7000 ft. When the temperature dropped, I turned on the furnace. It cycled but did not spark. I moved the thermostat switch to off and back on, it cycled but didn't spark, then...

I've been using this two room shower/bathroom enclosure for a few years. one room has floor with mesh around floor sides, other room has solid floor. zipper door between rooms to keep one side dry. has bug screen on window and roof. In this photo the roof fly is not installed. If its windy I...

Hey TofuMT, Just a thought for your consideration. I am on my second FWC, have a 2019 Hawk shell now with furnace and stove, no sink. I also prefer cooking outside, but had the factory install the two burner flush mount stove, the furnace and propane tanks on my setup take up the bulk of the...

That's for the help, I think I'll go with the handheld. 99% of the time I have no need for a CB, so why clog up my interior. The mag mount is a great idea, but how would I mount it since my F150 has an aluminum body?
