After a year of discussing what our adventure goals were, 6 months of poking around at options, 3 months of seriously looking for a used Hawk that met our requirements.......last month we drove down to Vancouver, met with Gary from Morrissey Industries and ordered our very own new FWC Hawk.
We had a pretty good idea going in, of what setup, floor plan, and options we wanted. Gary, who is one amazing and informative guy, helped out immensely by offering choices and his own experienced opinions. After listening to, and talking with Gary, we changed up a few options (out with the cassette toilet and in with a porta-potti.....out with the Batwing and in with the standard awning,.....and out with the flush Euro sink/stove and in with the regular sink/stove) and placed our order.
We chose a front dinette model, with a Silver Spur exterior, standard wood interior, and with the grey Silver Spur upholstery. I added solar, the Yakima tracks, the rear wall steps (ok...apparently to be used more as expensive clothing hanging devices than to climb up onto the roof with), a single battery (I will test this setup and add a second battery if I think it's required later), the 3-way fridge, one Fantastic fan and one regular roof vent, the thermal package, and furnace and hot water. Apparently all FWC's that Gary brings in come with the "Canadian Modification package" which includes the aluminum jack brackets, the vent fan for the fridge, and possible different and/or stainless exterior screws somewhere.....maybe something else, I'm not sure.
To say we are stoked would be an understatement. We received an email this week, that our order has gone into the production line...so there is no turning back now.
Hawkeye Rovi will be part of our long term adventure/expedition/camping/road-trippping life goals.....along with the 2014 Tundra I purchased and am modding the heck out of.
I can't say enough good about Gary and his Wife. They invited us into their home ,and we spent 3 hours talking about where we see ourselves traveling, and how we'd like to get there. He was the opposite of pushy, always offering us options and choices, and providing his experiences and opinions when we asked. He made the entire affair one that was completely at ease and enjoyable and I'd recommend that anyone here in Canada who is considering a Four Wheel Camper get in touch with him for a chat.
