Stupid mistake.....Breaker was open. Note to others, look for the most obvious before going down a rabbit hole...

So this is weird...and I am hoping the community might be able to help me out. I have had a Lithium setup for about 3 years now. I have a Battleborn 100 AH, Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/30, Victron Orion-TR Smart 12/12-30 Charger, and a Victron BMV-712. Everything has worked well since...

I have 2 Rieco Titan jacks for sale. I believe they are the originals that came with the 2008 hawk. They both move up and down fine, but are not perfectly straight. I'm sure someone handy could figure out a way to straighten them. They are definutely usable as is. Bottoms are flat metal...

Sorry for the double post but pic attached

Hi Dave, I had a 2014 F150and had a similar problem. IN 2021 I got a new F150 I bought the mule brackets. Mule was very helpful for me-their instructions are pretty weak. This is what I received from Mule: " I've been out in the shop while they have been installing them, but never installed...

Hey all- This could be a nifty upgrade for some of those whose water monitors konk out. I found out that this is a JRV board with FWC labeling. This seemed pretty common at the time. This was from a 2008 FWC Hawk. After testing most everything and from what I read, the culprit was a...

After some testing, and replacing of wires, I think the circuit board might be bad. Looking for a plug and play upgrade. Looks like JRV "MicroMonitor" is a clone. https://nationwiderv.myshopify.com/products/jrv-fresh-water-tank-monitor-black Has anyone done a SeeLevel II tank monitor? You...

Stan, this actually looks to be a JRV model monitor. They seem out of business.

Sig, when you say, same problem, do you mean just the bottom two lights on? My concern is that my tank is hard to access.

Thanks all. I will take a look at the wiring and report back. Here is a photo of the monitor.

I have a 2008 hawk and have noticed the factory water/battery monitor does not work. The display is but but the lights don't change on the status of the tank or the battery monitor. It is always in the empty on both displays. Seems to me like a possible electrical issue or a sensor issue...

I am not sure about how to assess the damage to the frame. I think you would likely to have remove the corner mounting brackets, peel back the siding, and look. On the other hand, you will see in the forum that others have had issues with corner brackets. Mine were pretty dangerous and that...

Looks great. Seems like you are doing your homework and have the skill set to get it done. I would love to attempt a a similar project myself some day and am curious on cost

https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/21974-jack-brackets-detaching/?hl=%20jack%20%20brackets A little more on Jack brackets

I have a 2008 hawk and after a few issues with the mounting of the jack brackets and the self tapping screws tearing out (`15 years later), I ended up using riv nuts for some. Not sure if it technically makes a stronger connection or not.

We ended up just finding a mattress topper we liked that had similar height to the stock foam and just cut to dimensions. Unfortunately I can't recall the brand. It works great.

Has anyone done this mod on their own? I'm a long way from California to check out ATC.... Pics attached.

I have found them to be reputable. I've never been to the physical store. I ordered the F150 frame brackets (for extra support) and they have performed as expected. I also ordered the FWC extension plates. I had an issue where they bent (likely user error) and they sent me a new pair, no...

I looked briefly at getting a F150 hybrid. The payload numbers weren't great so I went with a different model. I would take a look at the payload numbers. The other thing is range. Charging infrastructure is not really conducive to off grid activities.

Following. My 2008 model's rear panel feels like it is on the way out.

I thought I would provide an update on the Mule brackets. After a good 6 months with my camper on full time, I finally took the camper off for the off-season. I thoroughly inspected the bed and found no issues such as cracks or bed warping. It looks like the brackets are doing their job. I...

According to the information on the tire, single load is 2535 lbs. Dually is less, ~2300 lbs.

What are your float settings at? BB has specific recommending settings for charging.

Yes, do not use CASTERS! When I bought my FWC, they were on the jacks and advertised to me as an upgrade and reportedly a dealer had said "they work really well."

@Adventurebound, I am in the same boat as you. What did you end up doing? I ordered the "scepter" style but from what I am reading regarding Wavian, although costly, seems to be the much better option. According to the AT overland website, the dimensions of the holder are actually the same...
