All those little things do add up. One thing you have listed, sleeping bags. The wife bought a new double down bag when we got our 2002 Hawk. Yes they work well but still a sleeping bag. With the 2013 Hawk and the extended front we just use sheets, a blanket and down comforter. Nice to have the bed always ready. We no longer use the pull out. I do pull it out about 6 inches, this gives the person sleeping in the front extra elbow room. Also allows us to step down on the pad over the front water tank.longhorn1 said:Now the wait begins. Lots of time to get all of you little accessories. I remember when we placed our order, I had a list of close to $5K in items. Sean Dempsey took one look and by the time we got done looking at it, we were down to $2K. We hadn't camped in 35 years, since we were first married. We had to get everything, sleeping bags, pots and pans, coffee press, extra extension cords, white water hoses on a reel (50' & 25'), extension cords, 30 & 50 amp converters for hook-up. We had the chairs and the grill. You will enjoy. jd
Good Choice. Life will be easier.super doody said:After flopping back and forth and many discussion with my wife, I decided to go ahead with the charge order fee and go with a full build out instead of a shell. I really appreciate FWC's patience with us during this process. The price of the camper has doubled but I was given a healthy dose of reality from my wife 1. I have problem with completing projects. I'm good at starting them till ~80% completion 2. Its a long time invest 3.Easier with a toddler to have more amenities (i.e. furnace, frig for milk, etc.) 4.Lack of time.
You didn't wuss out at all. I wanted to use it right away and didn't need another project. The camper was for getting me away from all the projects the comes with owning a 77 year old house. Get out and enjoy!super doody said:Thanks all for the group therapy. In a way I feel like I wussed out I think the shell still make sense in some situation like cooking outside. Our eagle was a shell so we do have experience with camping in a shell. I had two small rubber maid containers. One was a cooking box and the other for dry goods. I feel like with the base model it takes an little more time setting up cooking outside. The advantage is in bad weather situations.
You are going to love that sway bar. Best addition I made to my Tundra.super doody said:Installing a hellwig rear sway bar this weekend and possibly new brake pads and rotors.
