Finally!!!! It was a lonnnnng wait but after ordering my Hawk Shell in late 2/16 it arrived and we have been on the maiden voyage. I know this is WTW but there are a few Eastcoasters who love the site and would not know the first thing about this world without the website.
My rig:
The Camper: 2016 Hawk shell with silver spur exterior, driver side couch, gas lift, AC (dirty south must have), brown interior. Basic but lightweight and much cheaper than getting it optioned. I cook outside and like having the option of hosting 4-5 beer drinkers on a chilly or wet night.
Power: truck battery to power internal and external lights. Goal Zero 400 yeti to power truckfridge and other stuff. I like the modularity, clean look, and simplicity of this. I knew DIY stuff can look really bad if you are not careful. I can chain another battery to it and easily replace the battery if and when I screw up. Will probably change to a comparable Lithium ion solution at some point. I rarely can get away from work more than a night or two so truck will be running frequently to charge it.
Honda eu2000 for AC- amazingly quiet. I have read many WTWers criticism of generators but this thing on eco mode runs for 10+ hours on a gallon and was really necessary on this trip with temps in the high 90s and high humidity with a baby, thats my excuse anyway. I store it in the cab and never smelled fumes.![IMG_7172.JPG IMG_7172.JPG](https://www.wanderthewest.com/data/attachments/20/20078-264cc88f36939d8baa8936bcda22ce46.jpg)
