My wife, daughter and I arrived home yesterday from a very enjoyable 3 week camping/road trip in which we tent camped, hoteled and couch surfed the majority of, except for 6 nights which we stayed at a cabin with my family.
Boy what a learning experience!
With that said, I am now planning on buying a Hawk in the near future.
I haven't decided whether it will be a Shell model or fully built but I do know it will have the rollover couch so my daughter can have her own bed as well as a larger seating area for her, my wife and I.
My main question concerns the electrical system. I have a dual battery setup already installed in my truck, I put it in to run a 65qt dometic fridge a couple 12v plugs, LED lights and a voltage meter.
I used a Perfect switch dual rectifier (battery isolator) mounted under the hood of the truck and ran 1/0 wire with a 10ga negative lead to the rear of the bed. Here is where the wires come out.
From there I ran the wires into my Decked bed drawer ammo can and then to the accessories. I'll post some pics of that later when I get a chance.
From what I understand, the plug for the camper comes out at the front and usually plugs in at the front of the bed.
My question is whether or not the plug can be re-routed out the back of the camper or if there is enough clearance under the camper and around the wheel wells to just run the wire from the front to the rear of the bed where my wires are.
