Need some quick advice or info...
We pick up our new Hawk FWC in Woodland to be installed onto our 2020 F250 in 10 days. FWC called today to ask us some details about our truck for installing the camper back up camera. They explained to me that the new ford f250 beds are SLIGHTLY longer than the older ones, so the hawk camper doesn't hang out over the bed a few inches like they used to. This means they can't install the camera on the camper, but would install it on the bumper by the license plate.
He did give us the idea that we could leave the tailgate on and if we modified the rubber bumpers on the end of the camper that prevent it from hitting the back of the truck bed/ cab we could actually keep our tailgate one and close it. This would be awesome because it would allow us to keep/ use the factory installed back up camera AND our tailgate has a step that slides out which would be a perfect step up into the camper.
Heres the question....has anyone else modified the rubber bumpers on their camper so that the camper slides in the bed a little further? If so, was it easy? Did you just replace the bumpers? What did you replace them with?
thanks for any input you can provide
