Hey longboardcr
Welcome to the FWC family.
It sounds like you have some things to learn (this is very common for our customers).
Hang in there, take your time, don't guess with wiring, and ask lots of questions as you go.
We have a link to the owners manual that might help a little, located here ...

The black 3 prong plug on the driver's side (coiled up in the outside storage compartment box) is how you can plug the camper in to your garage, a generator, or a campsite that has a power supply available. That is NOT a 220v plug. That plug is a normal house current 110/120v plug, but it has a different connector on the end because it is a 30amp connector. Just a heavier duty plug than what you would have for a small house appliance. They make small adaptors you should be able to buy at Wal-Mart or your local RV store, so you can plug it in to any ol' house electric outlet.
(see attached picture of what the adaptor looks like)
If you are going to add an aux. battery system to the camper, you might want to call Terry in our service dept. and see if he can walk you through it over the phone.
FWC Service Dept. 1-800-242-1442 (Ask for Terry)
It is not hard, but it will probably be confusing if you have never done it before.
When you are hooking the camper up to your truck battery, it has nothing to do with the 30amp power converter inside the camper. Do not hook any wires up to that. The camper to truck wiring is usually located on the outside of the camper (front / driver's side corner).
The white plastic water tank looking thing under your sink is the backside of your outside storge box (where the extension cord is coiled up). It is not another water tank.
Hope this helps get you started a bit.
Happy Camping !

I was wondering if someone could give me any information on the power supply cord hanging out of a 2007 FWC hawk model. I have never used this type of prong before. Do I need to run a line from the starter under the hood? Also, where would the aux. battery hook up be found. I see the converter under the sink area but don't know where the solenoid would be mounted. Lastly, I see a large water tank forward under the cushion seat area but I also see one almost directly next to the sink drain.What is that for and is it for an option that I don't have?
Looking forward to posting pictures of my new used Hawk. Unfornately, here in Pennsylvania we got a solid 10" of snow last night and she's buried.
