Hey All
New guy here... Kevin in San Diego. Been camping and exploring my whole life.
Picking up my first FWC soon and looking for ideas...
Current Setup:
2014 Tundra 4x4
Leer Camper Shell
Decked Storage / Bed
Dual Batteries
ARB Fridge
Solar
Bla Bla Bla
I am pretty set on the "Hawk Shell" and building it up myself, just want to make sure this wont e complicated due to something i am missing.
The day i bought my truck, i tore the rear seats out, built a wooden platform, installed huge AUX battery, 2000 watt inverter, fridge, solar, etc... Did the work myself.
I am now looking into transferring most of that stuff over to a Hawk FWC and regaining at least half of my rear seating.
The transferring of what i have and the wiring and such shouldnt be that hard.
What i am looking for information on is STORAGE. What is everyone doing for storage on their builds?
Also, transferring the solar. I have (2) 100watt renogy panels on my campershell now.
I see FWC says "wire for solar" but what exactly does that mean? Do they have a wire running from the plug on the roof to the battery? Add controller and go?
Also, looking for a front dinette option with a swivel table, the one i saw was somewhere on this page and a custom build and very nice. Any more info on these setups?
Basically, any info or links to builds that folks are willing to share would be awesome!
I love the building as much as the using!
Thank you very much
