Picking Up The Camper:
We just returned from a 3 day trip to pick up our "new" (to us) 2013 Four Wheel Hawk Camper. The Camper was located in Winnipeg and we are in Kelowna, however the seller was nice enough to meet us more than 1/2 way, in Calgary, to exchange the camper in the parking lot of a shopping mall.
I didn't think to take any photos in the parking lot, but snapped this at our first camping spot, that night, in Bow Valley Provincial Park (just East of Canmore, Alberta).
This is us leaving the campground the next morning:
After a day of exploring the Rockies and Mount Revelstoke, our next 2 nights were spent at Mable Lake Provincial Park:
First Impressions:
Having owned a 2003 Hawk Shell previously (2003-2007) some things were familiar and some were quite different. I was impressed with the better quality materials and lighter, more modern, colours of this camper interior. The interior cabinets and hardware are better quality than I have seen in some older campers.The rear awning is a great feature. The roll over couch is a very nice option. LED lights are a huge improvement. Generally we were very pleased with the camper and got to test it in some very windy and wet conditions.
Initial To Do List (subject to change):
I will update this thread as these items get addressed, but for now my goal is to add the following:

Initial To Do List (subject to change):
I will update this thread as these items get addressed, but for now my goal is to add the following:
- swing out extensions and drill adapter for jacks
- extension cord to hook up new camper electrical plug (front left corner) to existing truck plug (front right corner)
- drawer and cabinet organizers, towel racks, etc.
- additional "outside" storage
- some type of side awning
- roof rack tracks & gas struts to carry 2 kayaks
