Sioux and I bought this Hawk brand new in May of 2012. It has been a superb unit and we have loved it. (So much so we have the same model in a flat bed configuration on order!) This camper has never been smoked in, we have no pets and it has mostly been stored in our garage over its 3 year life.
We have converted some of the "deep and dark" storage into full extension slide-out drawers. And I also changed the original roll-over bench into a custom side dinette with additional birch cabinets.
We've had lots of fun with this camper fixing it up including a custom built cherry spice cabinet, additional 12 volt and USB outlets and special lighting. Here is a partial option and upgrade list:

My 2012 Hawk Upgraded Camper price: 17,500.00 (Or give me a "reasonable" offer and I won't throw rocks at you!) An equivalent new Hawk will be well over 20,000.00 (plus sales taxes) along with substantially more funds /work to add the owner-installed options. (There is currently a 10 to 12 week wait for new FWC models.)
Camper is in excellent condition with no known functional defects. There are some cosmetic hail “dimples” on the roof. (Given the very lightweight aluminum FWC puts on their roofs almost any of their campers will have these.) However, this Hawk has never leaked and everything works perfectly.

Thanks for reading an entirely too long list!
