Can't do that in our Phoenix either.
Jim I will have to measure the distance tomorrow, I am curious too. It doesn't seem like there is quite enough space to sit straight up in bed but with a little crazy chair I think you have a shot.RC Pilot Jim said:The "Ute" looks like it will make a great camping rig...Especially the under bed " clothes storage.
Did the distance from the top of the mattress to the bottom of the ceiling stay the same? or is it higher? or lower?
FWC will have a winner if you can still sit up in bed to get out. You can't do that in a Northstar.
Mike the Grandby Flatbed would be the most interior space you could get with a FWC. I don't know what a dry bath is but an interior shower would be doable. A one ton truck should be considered for that outfit.hmt said:Thanks. I keep thinking a Grandby Flatbed would really open things up. Question then becomes for my needs (wants?) ... is a dry bathpossiblerealistic?
Thanks again,
Mike
Speaking of underbed storage, it would be nice if FWC would offer that on the standard models. Anyone think they will do that in the future?RC Pilot Jim said:The "Ute" looks like it will make a great camping rig...Especially the under bed " clothes storage.

The cabover area would need to be at least 4" thicker to do that.Texan76 said:Speaking of underbed storage, it would be nice if FWC would offer that on the standard models. Anyone think they will do that in the future?
I would have room under my Hawk on my 2005 Tundra.JHa6av8r said:The cabover area would need to be at least 4" thicker to do that.
I think the storage area would be too small to be useful, IMO. There's about 6" to the top edge. The area needs to accommodate the mattress (3" thick), the slideout, lifting panel, and push rod. The bigger issue is accomodating the slideout.billharr said:I would have room under my Hawk on my 2005 Tundra.
Agree that the slideout would be the problem, Ute must have a full size queen cabover. If you did not use the slideout adding storage under the cabover could be done. Somewhere on the web is a picture of an alum storage that dropped in from the top with hatches.JHa6av8r said:I think the storage area would be too small to be useful, IMO.

Jim the headroom above the bed is about 29".RC Pilot Jim said:The "Ute" looks like it will make a great camping rig...Especially the under bed " clothes storage.

Saw the Hawk Ute self-contained at the factory today. Full queen cab over so no slide required. It feels much roomier than my Grandby with front dinette.billharr said:Agree that the slideout would be the problem, Ute must have a full size queen cabover.
