Hi Four Wheel Camper owners --
First time poster here. I have ordered an F-150 (SuperCrew, 3.5L V6, 6.5' bed, 4x4, Heavy-duty payload) and plan to install a Hawk camper (front dinette) on it. Have visited the factory in Woodland and got a quote for the camper, but have not pulled the trigger yet because I have no idea when Ford will actually deliver the truck (they said 6-8 months).
Have a couple questions, was hoping someone might have answers:
(1) Recent F-150s/F-250s/F-350s have dual antennas, for the satellite radio and the GPS/modem, which are located on the top of the cab, but on the rear edge. They are going to be covered by the cabover portion of the camper. Is this a problem for reception?
I see that Ford offers a service kit, LC3Z-018813-B, for relocating the antennas on F-250s/F-350s, which got the dual antennas first. Does anyone know if the same kit works on the F-150, which now has the same arrangement?
(2) Four Wheel Campers offers an axe/shovel combo that mounts on a rear jack bracket. In the pictures that I've seen, the axe/shovel combo is on the rear driver's side bracket. There is also an SAE connector for an auxiliary solar panel on the rear wall of the camper in that area, and it looks like the axe/shovel covers the connector. I want access to the SAE connector, so does it make more sense to put the axe/shovel on the passenger side?
Thanks for any insight that anyone might have
