Hello, I'm new here as well and looking for FWC owners to see what kind of modifications some of you have made. I bought a Hawk model last year, put it on a 2000 Ford 150 with the V6. It's a little underpowered but after many years of driving VW campers, and crossing large bodies of water in a small sailboat, going slow is a welcome throwback. Dave, I started my design with the shell, but after much deliberation as to weight and what I would want to build(I'm a finish carpenter) decided to let FWC do all the work (and use their very light Siberian Birch plywood and stock that I could not fine easily)and got the side dinette model with a furnace, refer/freezer, stove and the Zamp 80W solar panel with two house batteries. I camped all winter in and around the Colorado Plateau from Flagstaff to the north side of the San Rafael Swell with no difficulties aside from finding water. I now carry a 12V pump and two inline carbon filters along with 25' of hose and can now take water from wherever I can find it. I'm heading out to the Oregon coast in November and will face the challenge of very little sunlight for weeks at a time and have started my search for a very small portable generator and/or a high output alternator for the truck. Also wondering about the possibility of a foot powered generator
Apparently it's not possible to post pictures with dialogues here. Any suggestions? Where might I see what FWC owners have done modifications?
