I dont really have any issues with my 2012 Eagle. What I hate is the turnbuckle attachment system.
Love the drawers. Wish I was handy enough to do it.Durango1 said:I did convert my rollover couch on my 2012 Hawk into a side dinette configuration. I'm reasonably handy and it took maybe 50 hours. However, part of that time was building and installing full extension drawers in several spots including under one of the new seats and designing/building an inside shower and foldable shower pan.
Thanks, Tomothy! Basically I imitated FWC's shoer curtain arrangement by scrweing small hooks into the aluminum struts in my camper roof. I then put up a shock cord and a nylon shower curtain on them and ran a shower hose up from my sink and hung it off the roof.Timothy McGowen said:Love the drawers. Wish I was handy enough to do it.
Would love to hear and see more about the shower.

The shower pan I had fabricated from heavy duty PVC (the same stuff they make professional rafts out of- cost 50.00) that was about 2' x 3' x 16" high. It has stick on velcro that matches velcro on my benches and cabinets.
Put the shower curtain inside the "pan, shower away and then pull the collapsible pan (Usually had about 3-4 gallons after my wife and I showered) out the back door and dump it. Then fold the curtain and pan up and done!
I now have the built in shower from FWC in my flatbed hawk but honestly what I designed was just as easy.
That doesn’t make sense to me. Their website states the base model is the roll over couch. One would think that an “unchecked” box would mean the base model is the desired. As Frank recommended, do get in contact with Stan Kennedy to get things resolved.jsduty said:Was told a box was not unchecked and by default will always order the front dinette. The outside shower has moved from the center of the camper to the rear corner. I had plans for a drop-down shower tent and not sure if that location is going to work or not.
My first pop up was a Grandby with the roll over couch. Both of us hated that couch because it took up the entire aisle when out. To be honest, I think you’re going to like the front dinette. It is disappointing to get a surprise like that, but it may turnout to be an unexpected gift.jsduty said:I have been in touch with FWC, I'm having the camper installed and will see how the WIFE and I like it. Then decide If we want to keep it or place another order. It Just sucks because I ordered what we wanted to avoid the what if's and now have to start the mind games again. Just seems like when we stood in a front dinette at the time that configuration was a waste of space compared to the role over couch. Just hope we both end up liking it. everything happens for a reason.
Could be it’s because trucks are awesome and campers are awesome.AWG_Pics said:We ordered a Hawk, front dinette from FWC. Everything is exactly as we asked -- no regrets at all. Which is weird, since I usually at least have a pang of regret on major purchases. Neither our truck nor camper gave me any second thoughts. Could be in my old age I worry less about stuff.
Considering I started out sleeping on the ground without a tent and carrying everything in the back of my car - YES!!!Jon R said:Could be it’s because trucks are awesome and campers are awesome.
